I think Democrats are starting to realize they made a big mistake with their installation of Kamala Harris without even one vote of the American people in the primary for the top position.
We're starting to see that panic set in with them, the recriminations, and the disbelief that former President Donald Trump — who has been talking tabletop issues — could be ahead of Harris — who just keeps spewing about "Hitler." She also went in some weird direction by embracing former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, which is likely costing her more folks on the left while not really gaining her people in the middle.

But her biggest problem is her inability to just explain herself. She can't give a straight answer to anything, not even "What are the three things you keep on your nightstand?" Who can't give an immediate answer to that? That's supposed to be the lay-up question.

HARRIS: Three things... Well, let’s see... what’s on my night side... I’ve been staying at hotels for the last eleven... I’ve been literally on the road. This is my first day home in almost a week and a half. pic.twitter.com/zVeF2aDEHb
But just so you know, according to Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco, the problem is that you guys just don't understand the "nuanced" way that Harris speaks.
Republicans keep saying Kamala Harris speaks in “word salad” because she speaks in an intellectual, nuanced manner. They are so used to hearing first grade level vocabulary that anything more educated than that is confusing for them.

Republicans keep saying Kamala Harris speaks in “word salad” because she speaks in an intellectual, nuanced manner. They are so used to hearing first grade level vocabulary that anything more educated than that is confusing for them.
"Intellectual, nuanced manner?" That may be the winner of the funniest, most nonsensical tweet of the day. Hilariously untrue, especially when it's Harris who is the one who speaks half the time like she's talking to five-year-olds.
If you're trying to explain how it's just that she's "nuanced" just a few days before the election, you may have a problem. Plus, pro tip? If you're trying to reach out for votes, insulting people on behalf of your candidate also isn't a winning strategy.
As RedState's Brad Slager and Twitchy's Grateful Calvin explained, David Axelrod kind of blows up this whole silly take.
Say Ally, I’m going to let this Republican know that he is too stupid to grasp Kamala’s intellectual nuances. https://t.co/sPWArc93j0 pic.twitter.com/iJbtXwo7nz

David Axelrod is a Republican?
Nice try, lawn flamingo. pic.twitter.com/WTCxhh0F7K
Even Van Jones said, "The word salad stuff gets on my nerves." Are they uneducated Republicans?

This is Democrats trying to convince us again that what we see and hear isn't what we see and hear. If they can change reality, then maybe their candidate has a chance.
But leave it to CNN commentator Scott Jennings to comprehensively skewer Kamala's problem with words.
My rebuttal to last night’s @cnn Kamala Harris town hall: if she were an animal, she’d be a duck-billed platitude. Took on the “flawless vs lawless” construct with Erin and friends. pic.twitter.com/MJjw5U9QRF

She has to give you something, she's like a true double threat. She's terrible on her feet when she gets unexpected questions. Simultaneously, she can't even answer the expected questions. It's nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. You think she'd be prepared to do this by now.
He then listed her problems in the CNN town hall.
"What's a mistake you've made?" Nothing. "What's a weakness you have?" Nothing. "What's the first law you want to pass?" Nothing. "What's a policy difference between you and Joe Biden?" Nothing. Over and over and over. Empty, empty, empty. If she were an animal, she'd be a duck-billed platitude.
That even had Axelrod laughing it was so good.
