Pass the Prilosec — Kamala Harris Is Getting Mentioned a Lot
Top O' the Briefing
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Please leave your suggestions for the koi pond repurposing with Margarethe in Men's Fragrances.
The world that the Democrats occupy is different than anything I've experienced here in reality, and I'm sure all of you feel the same. It often seems as if I am staring into a giant aquarium of dysfunctionality, looking at an environment in which I know I couldn't survive, even if I wanted to, which I don't.
Watching the Dems' abject mediocrities repeatedly fail upward never fails to perplex me, even though I've been seeing it for decades. We don't have any experience with that kind of backwards lunacy on our side of the aisle, so it will always be weird.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is the most notable example of this in the Democratic Party. After being so unpopular in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary season that she was out of the race in 2019, she ended up being offered the Number Two spot on the ticket. That, of course, happened because the Democrats prioritze pandering and diversity above all else.
Which is why, despite her spectacular defeat as the 2024 anointee, Princess Cackles is still hanging around.
Harris was unable to get any traction whatsoever in the California gubernatorial race, which she took as a sign that she should run for president again. The delusion is strong with this one. Sure, that can be said about any Democrat these days, but ex-Madame Veep really stands out in this regard.
We have discussed this a few times in recent months. It's been pretty obvious that she's gunning for another run in 2028, but, up to this point, it has seemed as if the only interest in her doing so was confined to her fever dream. That seems to be changing a bit.
This was shared in a post by my Twitchy colleague justmindy:
After the contortions that the Democrats' money people and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media put themselves through in order to attempt to drag Harris across the finish line in 2024, they can probably fall back into line for her in a hurry.
The Democratic Party is in such disarray right now that they are looking at options for the next presidential race that are all equally awful. That obviously works in Harris's favor. The same thing that thrust her into prominence in 2020 is her biggest advantage. This is from a column that Daniel McCarthy wrote for us yesterday:
Harris checks the identity-politics boxes that may be as important as winning to Democratic primary voters: Their ticket must have a woman, and it can't be all white.
Bingo.
There is still a lot of chatter about California Governor Gavin Newsom, but I've said for years that he's a bit too white for the Democratic panderfest. Also, as we have seen so often, the Democrats have a penchant for doubling-down on their bad ideas, and Harris is certainly one of their worst.
It's important to remember that the Democrats feel that their diversity shtick entitles them to things, like the presidency. They don't really care about minorities, as we know, they see them as reliable voting blocs and virtue-signaling currency. They no doubt feel that Kamala Harris is owed some quality time in the White House.
And, as Daniel notes in his column, Harris could end up being the least commie option for the Dems, should they choose to back away from that.
I don't think that they want to be any less commie now that it's all out in the open. If they choose not to do a head-fake away from the precipitous left, look for the principle-free Harris to lean into the Fidel Castro ideals of the Democratic Socialists.
Kamala Harris isn't going anywhere, we know that now. She's also not going to beat JD Vance or Marco Rubio in a presidential election.
So there's that.
