I may be wrong, but I do, in a way, feel sorry for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Politics is a prize fight, and the former stayed in the ring too long and the latter will sooner or later get KO’d.
When Joe Biden was tapped to save the Democratic Party in 2019, one pundit described it as “the last kid picked to play ended up as captain of the team.” He had been spurned by his party so badly in his two presidential bids he didn’t even try in 2016. (Besides, no one was going to get in Hillary’s way that time.) Then, at an age when any right-thinking man would be choosing his tee times and where to take the grandkids for lunch, he was pulled out of storage and maneuvered to save the party’s fortunes. The worst of it was, he believed his own press clippings.
He had been the party’s pit bull in the senate, dutifully torpedoing Supreme Court nominees, then he had served as a soporific vice president. Wheeled out as “Uncle Joe” in 2020, he stayed in his basement and let the pandemic and riots put him in the White House. He bumbled through three and a half years in office until finally exposed on national television, and the movers and shakers who had picked him realized the gig was up. “He’s our man!” became “Here’s your hat” in a matter of days. Maybe he deserved better; the voters certainly did.
The “people’s choice” became, with time running short and the possibility of actually allowing delegates to choose the nominee a definite prospect of embarrassment, the woman who flamed out after she lost the primary in her own state in her bid in 2020. Though she may likely ride the honeymoon into the White House, ultimately the world will hit her hard. Jimmy Carter 2.0.
Will any reporter (should he or she get the chance) dare ask her the questions many of us would like answered:
“Vice President Harris, by the words of your own boss, two qualifications for your being selected were your gender and your race: Was that right?”
“Vice President Harris, for four years you were with President Biden running the country (or weren’t you?): Do you take responsibility for the state of the economy as you have made it? The border—or lack thereof—as you have made it? Our nation’s influence abroad, such as you have made it?”
“Vice President Harris, as senator, you questioned whether a man could serve impartially and fairly as a judge simply because of his membership in the Knights of Columbus: Will you use such a religious-based litmus test for your selections?”
“Vice President Harris, it was clear to many for a long time that President Biden wasn’t cognitively fit to run the country: When was it clear to you? Why didn’t you say anything? Or did you? When and to whom? Or do you think he is still fit to do so?”
