The following article, When Kamala Harris Starts the Real Campaign, was first published on The Black Sphere.
Things are as good as they will get for Kamala Harris. So she should enjoy whatever good feelings she’s having now.
Even James Carville knows this.
Transcript:
Right now she’s doing well, very well. Let’s find out why she’s doing well
She’s doing well because 72 percent of the country wanted something different and she is something different. And people are excited about it. I think there were 800,000 overnight donations, 60 percent of something percent were first-time donors.
And people were not expressing any policy agenda, they weren’t expressing anything, they just wanted something other than Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And thank God that President Biden had the wherewithal to see that in the party, or at a time to coalesce immediately behind the VP and I’m very happy about that.
But I’m telling you this is the best day for the campaign. They were were hit, they were bad, they were confused. But they are getting unconfused now. And Democrats have got to get ready.
I hope she can get her campaign get an operation; it’s hard, you just don’t get in one of these things and turn the key on and it works. And you know they have a lot of decisions they gotta make. And they’re coming in fast and they are starting brutal attacks. Some of them are silly, and some of them are going to require some deftness and we’ve gotta be ready for them.
Reading between the lines
Carville says a ton in that declaration. For example, he said without saying, there is no hoopla over Kamala Harris. It’s hype. And while he tried to throw Trump in with Biden, he knows Trump has no age issue with his base or those who will consider voting for him.
Moreover, he referenced the donations, but he knows the uptick had nothing to do with Harris.
As for “policy agenda”, Carville knows that Biden nor Harris has a good policy agenda. Once the Kabuki Theater by the Democrats ends, Harris must address Biden administration policies.
The border remains a joke, as does inflation. The recent jobs report and uptick in unemployment underscore Biden-era failed policies that Harris endorsed and now inherits.
Major Mistakes Already
Despite Democrat orchestration for Harris, she will make mistakes. Look at how she handled the short statement about the hostage trade with Russia.
KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy.”

And while Kamala Harris is her own worst enemy, a close second is Donald Trump.
While Harris was on her popularity tour, Trump showed up at the National Association of Black Journalists. And he rocked it.
Trump performed so well, that he solidified his growing appeal for the Black vote. And I predict Trump earned even more Black votes. I wrote that Trump delivered the knockout punch:
Donald Trump sealed the deal on his second term, and he dealt a death-blow to Democrats.
The coveted and all but guaranteed Black vote for Democrats took a hit from Donald Trump with his appearance at the National Association of Black Journalist event.
If you think Trump dodged a Democrat assassin’s bullet at his rally in Pennsylvania, you might not witnessed how Trump went Neo at the NABJ event.
As Trump sat across from ABC host Rachel Scott, she pulled out her metaphorical AR-15 set for automatic, and sent a barrage of bullets in Trump’s direction. Trump raised his hand and slowed the bullets until they dropped at his feet. Watch Trump’s masterful work here:
ABC’s Rachel Scott opens her interview with President Trump at the NABJ conference by calling him a racist for criticizing black politicians and journalists.

Trump won’t slip up. He will say the truth, as he has done since 2016. But Harris will make many mistakes. So many mistakes that I predict the Democrats will hide her from the public as they did Biden in 2020.
Only this time, hiding their candidate won’t work for Democrats.
Carville said that Harris’ campaign will require deftness. He’s right. But sadly for Harris, she has no deftness, and this will be evident quickly.
