Kamala Harris is a Triple-A ball player trying to make
it in the majors, and it’s showing. The Harris campaign is realizing
less than a month from Election Day that they’re not doing well with
Latino voters and are getting crushed by Donald Trump regarding handling
the economy. So, Kamala, to her credit, did a town hall event with
Univision. It’s too little, too late—and it was a brutal outing for the
vice president, who once again shows she can’t grasp the issues, lacks
the intelligence to be a major party candidate, and remains woefully
handicapped if she must think of something that isn’t a pre-packaged
answer.
Politico was rather nice—no shock—but did add something that’s become a hallmark characteristic of this operation: no details. And Kamala should admit that, at this point, she cannot pivot away from being viewed as a younger, dumber Joe Biden:
In
a town hall hosted by the Spanish-language television giant Univision
set to air Thursday evening, Harris spoke forcefully about establishing
an “orderly and humane pathway to earned citizenship for hardworking
people.” And asked by 28-year-old Jesús Aispuro, a hospital worker from
California, what she would do to help his former classmate Dreamers —
who he said “had to live day by day” with “fear” because of their
immigration status — the vice president called the situation “a very big
example of what the price is to pay for a broken immigration system.”
But
she didn’t offer up any specific policies for Dreamers, who have often
been viewed and treated differently from other undocumented immigrants
because of the circumstances under which they came to the U.S.
“[Dreamers] should not have to live in fear but should have the ability to be on a path to earn their citizenship,” she said.
[…]
And
her remarks represent a continuation of moderate moves President Joe
Biden has made, including a policy announced earlier this year to speed
up work visas for Dreamers who have graduated college and received
employment offers. A federal appeals court on Thursday heard oral
arguments in a case over the DACA program, prompting Harris to issue a
statement saying that she “will always stand with Dreamers and keep
families together.”
Again, this is not the thing to say regarding a pathway to
citizenship, which has never been uber-popular with Hispanic voters,
most of whom now favor mass deportations.
These voters also didn’t
shy away from the challenging issues. Kamala was asked about the July
coup against Joe Biden. Like clockwork, she couldn’t answer the question
but did serve up another word salad (via NY Post):
Vice
President Kamala Harris finally confronted the question of her
candidacy’s primary-free path after 10 weeks as the presumptive and then
actual Democratic presidential nominee.
And it wasn’t a reporter who asked — it was an undecided voter at Univision’s Thursday town hall.
“You
earned your candidacy without going through the normal process, that is
primary elections or through a caucus,” said property manager Mario
Sigbaum, a Uruguay native who became a US citizen 28 years ago.
“That
really caught my attention. I’m also concerned about the way I feel
President Biden was pushed aside. How can you clarify this?”
Harris acknowledged the “unprecedented” way she secured the nod.
“President
Biden made a decision that I think history will show is probably one of
the most courageous that a president could make, which is he decided to
put country above his personal interest. And he made that decision he
very within that same period of time, supported my candidacy and urged
me to run,” Harris said in one of her signature word salads.
Kamala also faced a woman crushed by the Biden-Harris inflationary
agenda. All the veep could do was repeat her ‘I grew up in a
middle-class family’ line:

This
woman remains a trainwreck, but there will be more chances to view her
crashing into a wall because public appearances and interviews are a
must in the final weeks, even if the candidate is mentally challenged.
