Team Kamala Hits the Reset Button ...again
In a New York Times report on Kamala Harris last month, we learned that the floundering, unpopular Veep has been seeking advice from several Democrat women to help her reset her flagging public image. Among the Democrat women Kamala has prevailed upon is none other than Hillary Clinton, the Queen of the Reset Button.
Hillary’s numerous resets during the 2016 election campaign became a bit of a running joke. It seemed like every few weeks, some news outlet would report that her campaign people had a plan to “reintroduce” Hillary Clinton to the American people. As if we hadn’t already gotten a pretty good picture of who that woman was.
In September 2015, they tried “reintroducing Hillary” to us by having Hillary show us her “humor” and “heart.” I described that version of Hillary as “Reset Number Four.”
The funny thing is, the New York Times article about Hillary’s Reset Number Four came right out and admitted that the “previous attempts” to reintroduce Hillary Clinton to the voters “have backfired amid criticism that the efforts seemed overly poll-tested.”
A month later, Team Hillary did a reset of that reset by letting Hillary show us her angry side.
Hillary’s repeated “reintroductions” made me conclude that her campaign had a duplicate of the RESET button Hillary gave to Russia, and Team Hillary kept pressing that button like a maniacal Girl Scout trying to make her cookie quota.
It looks like Hillary bequeathed that RESET button to Kamala Harris during one of their meetings. Because just months after Kamala hired a couple of crisis communications experts to help rehab her image, the Washington Post reported Friday that Team Kamala has hit the RESET button again.
In an article titled “Harris Team looks to course changes to reset her political prospects,” the Post noted that Team Kamala isn’t just hitting the RESET button once, they’re engaged in a “series of course changes” in hopes of salvaging this sinking ship.
Who do they think they’re kidding?
Kamala is unsalvageable.
If she was a car, the insurance guy would be listing her as totaled and cutting a check so we could buy a new Vice President.
There comes a point where you just have to call it a day and stop trying. And for Kamala Harris that point came in late 2019 when she dropped out of the Democrat primary two months before the Iowa caucus.
According to the Washington Post article, one of their “course changes” is to have Kamala do more one-on-one interviews.
Yeah, we all saw how that “course change” worked out last week, didn’t we?
Yes, please. Please put Kamala on television more. That’ll definitely boost her in the polls. What a bunch of idiots.
As Varad Mehta put it on Twitter yesterday:
“How do you solve a problem like Cackle-a?”
The same intractable dilemma as ever. The only way to solve the problem is by having Cackle-a no longer be Cackle-a. Because she is the problem. And there’s no changing that.
Team Kamala can bang on their RESET button until their fingers are bloody stumps and it won’t make a damn bit of difference. Because at the end of the day, the biggest problem facing Kamala Harris isn’t public perception; it’s Kamala Harris.
What matters most to the sitting Vice President of the United States isn’t the country or its people, but her own political survival.
This has been the truth about Kamala Harris since she first met Willie Brown, and not one thing has changed because it can’t change.
Her incompetence, unpopularity, and off-putting personality aren’t things Kamala can un-learn.
To borrow from Varad Mehta, you can’t attain Kamala’s level of incompetence by working at it, “you can only be born with it.”
