If the media were honest, they would be admitting that Kamala Harris has had a rough start to her campaign. She picked a running mate who makes Howard Dean seem calm and coherent, not to mention all the swirling scandals resulting from his problem with the truth over stolen valor and other issues.
Then there are her own issues with ducking the press, failing to answer questions, or do interviews. She had no policies on her website but did manage to appropriate her opponents’ policies like no tax on tips and increasing the child tax credit.
When she finally put out a policy of her own - saying she was for price controls on corporations - she got blasted by both CNN and a columnist in the Washington Post. The article made the point that maybe when you’re accused of being a communist, don’t propose policies that help feed the term.

Harris did an event with Joe Biden in Maryland on Thursday, then Friday traveled to North Carolina, where she was supposed to talk about the economy and her own plans in that regard, including how to address things like inflation. The problem of course is that she's been in power for three-plus years and all she's done is make things worse. She wants to talk about what she'd do on "day one" now when she's way past "day one." But she acted as though she was running against the guy occupying the office now, as opposed to working right along with him in the failures.
The Trump War Room grabbed some of her comments.
She then tried to talk about "price gouging" but she didn't even know how to say it, saying "price gauging" instead. She can't even get the Communism excuse straight.
She also spoke about how much more everything was including food, rent, and gas.
That was immediately turned around into one of the shortest and sharpest political ads ever. "A loaf of bread cost 50 percent more than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50 percent," she declared, admitting things were cheaper under Trump.
Trump War Room said they "appreciate her honesty" [on this issue].
But it's hilarious. Is she so in a bubble that she doesn't see how this comes across, when she's in power? She's giving Trump things he can use -- the truth of how bad it is under Biden-Harris to use against her.
That's a very simple message that will get across to people. This suffering we're all going through is on her. Why would we vote in more of it, not just with prices but the policies that she wants that would make it even worse - things like price controls and stopping the Trump tax cuts, which would raise taxes on most Americans?
