Just how badly have things gone for Kamala Harris that the media went from fawning all over her to writing her campaign’s obituary in just eleven months?
I wonder what changed for the media in the eleven months since Kamala Harris jumped into the race. They went from fawning all over her like she was the second coming of Obama to writing post-mortems about her campaign before she’s even dropped out.
Over the last few weeks, there’ve been so many “How Kamala Harris’ campaign failed” articles that you’d think she already announced the end of her campaign.
I mean typically the post-mortems don’t happen until after the candidate drops out.
The latest campaign obit is from the New York Times.
Maybe I’m misremembering, but this must be a first in presidential politics. I don’t recall the news media ever writing the “what went wrong” post-mortems while the candidate was still out there campaigning. Do you?
Anybody else think of the “Bring out your dead” scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
Seems like just a few months ago, Kamala was clothes shopping with a gaggle of giggling gal-pals pretending to be political reporters.
And now they’re writing obituaries for her campaign.
You really hate to see it.
Okay, not really.
In fact, this morning, I spent an hour or so going back and reading all the posts I’ve written about Kamala Harris since 2017. And I’m enjoying the heck out of the media eulogizing her campaign while she’s still campaigning.
Is that mean?
Probably.
But I don’t particularly like Kamala Harris.
You can’t really blame me for taking pleasure in seeing these post-mortems. Especially when you consider that the entire reason she ran for the Senate was to position herself for a 2020 run for the White House.
Kamala plummeting in the polls while major newspapers write preemptive obituaries is exactly what she deserves.
Plus it makes this tweet from her bumbling social media team all the more hilarious.
Now, I don’t expect Kamala to drop out anytime soon, I’ll be honest. She’s far too arrogant. And since the White House has been Kamala’s goal since she ran for the Senate, she ain’t giving that up easily.
No matter how many articles declare her candidacy dead.
