After Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate, in which Republican JDVance walked from one side to the other Democrat Tim Walz, there was a lot of speculation about whether Kamala Harris had made a poor choice for her VP. The more Kamala Harris is seen on the campaign trail and the more she’s forced to answer questions, as well as be held accountable for past statements, the better we can determine if Joe Biden made a bad choice.
I have commented before that the Democratic Party appears to follow a pattern when it comes to presidential politics. Barack Obama chose Joe Biden in 2008 as his running mate, presumably because Biden was the person in the Senate who was less competent than Barack Obama. Joe Biden chose Kamala for the same reasons when he ran in 2020. Kamala Harris couldn’t find a Democrat in the Senate who was less qualified than her, so she had to travel to Minnesota and select Tim Walz. This is a series of bad decisions, and unfortunately, the Democrats haven’t reached their lowest point yet.
The presidential election of this year has brought these bad choices to the forefront. Kamala Harris continues to embarrass the Democratic Party and herself as we get closer to the end of the election season. Watch her fail to answer even the most basic of questions.
Q: “President Trump says that you’ve had four years as Vice President to do all the things you promised during the campaign, but haven’t done it. Is he right?”

She never answered the questions. As for Donald Trump being “desperate,” this is a lie; Donald Trump has offered many policy positions. Kamala Harris’ “plan” includes a large amount of government spending, which will cause housing prices to explode and inflation to supercharge. She does not understand and has never understood the most basic principles of economics.
It was a straightforward question and she did not answer it. She retreated to talking points.
Wait! There’s more!
Reporter: In 2019, you said you were in favor of banning fracking. Have you changed your view on fracking?
Kamala: “That is a mischaracterization that is intended to make people afraid of my presidency.”

It would have been more logical if she had said that after looking at the facts and figures, her opinion changed. She evaded again. The fact is, the Biden administration was not friendly to the energy industry. Biden’s administration, for example, shut down oil and gas production on nearly half of Alaska’s North Slope earlier this year. This led to higher energy prices and lost jobs in some areas of Great Land. Harris does not mention these actions. The impact of the gas price hike on Americans remains severe. Harris cannot and will not address the fact that in 2020 the average gasoline prices, adjusted for inflation were $2.74 per gallon; today they are $3.75.
My colleague reported previously about Vice President Harris’ clumsy comments delivered while she was visiting areas damaged by Hurricane Helene.
Harris’s words seemed pitifully inadequate in light of the destruction in the area.
Harris, just as Biden promised $700 to those who lost everything in Maui’s massive fire, Harris offered a meager sum of $750.
It would be difficult to pay for food and a hotel for a week if you lost your house. She said you could apply online. Assuming you had power.
Many people reacted to this statement by Harris. They asked questions such as how much money was given to Ukraine. Or for all sorts of services and aid to illegal aliens? Comparatively, $750 is nothing.
The Harris/Biden Administration responded pitifully. Kamala Harris made a pitiful comment. It was just the latest in a long line of illogical statements by the vice president.
The Harris/Walz campaign is the one that shows the most desperation. Kamala Harris is inarticulate and uninformed daily. Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate pitted a nervous Tim Walz and the calm, collected, and knowledgeable JD Vance against each other. The polls show that the D-team is losing ground.
There is still a little more than a month left. Watch out for the Harris/Walz side to get more irrational.
