Kamala Harris Slams Tim Walz on VP Debate Meltdown

Those of us on the right side of politics - the right - remember the 2024 vice-presidential debate with great joy and satisfaction. The Harris campaign put up Tim "Great Walz of China" against JD Vance, which was like entering a horse race with a 22-year-old burro against a 5-year-old racing thoroughbred. Tim Walz wandered in, looked at JD Vance with hoptoad eyes, and froze up like a garden slug on a block of dry ice.

Now, in her book, Kamala Harris has tossed Tim Walz under an entire fleet of buses regarding his debate performance, which may be charitably described as "catastrophic."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris detailed her running mate Tim Walz’s debate performance in her new book and recounted a showdown with then-Sen. JD Vance, which ultimately left her disappointed. 

Harris writes in her new book, "107 Days," that she needed the Minnesota governor to be the "closer" at the Oct. 1, 2024, debate given that she was not going to have another opportunity to debate Trump. But during the debate, she turned to her husband in frustration.

"When Tim fell for it and started nodding and smiling at J.D.’s fake bipartisanship, I moaned to Doug, ‘What is happening?'" Harris wrote, explaining how she believed Walz was duped by Vance’s "mild-mannered aw-shucks" attitude. 

"I told the television screen: ‘You’re not there to make friends with the guy who is attacking your running mate.’"

Kamala "Queen of Word Salads" has managed to throw almost everyone in the Biden administration, the Democrat Party, and possibly the 1954 Soviet Union Politburo under the bus with this book, with her former running mate being just the latest. Still, it may prove a lucrative tactic; rumor has it that sales of her book are now in double digits.

Harris (well, let's be honest, her ghost writer) also complained:

Harris, who lamented that there was "more riding on Tim’s debate than there should have been," said that being the "closer" and debating on such a large scale was "not a comfortable role" for Walz. 

"He had fretted from the outset that he wasn’t a good debater," Harris wrote. "I’d discounted his concerns. He was so quick and pithy in front of the crowds at our rallies, I thought he’d bring those qualities to the podium."

We might note that, in a rally, a political candidate in a rally doesn't have a younger, smarter, and better-looking opponent hammering him on his record, including some of the more ridiculously obvious lies he's told about himself:

"Tim fell into a pattern of defending his record as a governor," Harris wrote. "Then he fumbled his answer when the moderator, predictably, questioned why he had claimed to be in Hong Kong during the democracy protests in Tiananmen Square."

This particular bit of dissembling was already known well before the debate. Didn't Walz's prep team think of that? Didn't anyone stop for a moment and ask, "Hey, guys, how is Governor Walz going to answer any questions about his serial lying, especially his Forrest Gump-ing his presence into major historical events?"

All throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, the feckless incompetence of the Harris/Walz campaign was apparent to anyone who wasn't blinded by partisanship, which means that President Trump's resounding win came as a total surprise to Democrats. And now Kamala Harris is, again, being true to form: blaming her loss on everyone but herself.
