From the latest commentary by one of this country’s most important and intelligent commentators, Victor Davis Hanson, we have these definitions of the Harris/Walz ticket and what will happen if it is elected:
Harris is utterly incapable of articulating a coherent thought without a teleprompter or a staged interview. Walz is a buffoon who, in his first speech as the nominee, screamed out the “couch” lie about JD Vance and then stupidly bragged of his falsehood.
Harris, until recently, was proud that she had been one of the most radical California politicians in memory. She ran such a hard-left, polarizing presidential bid against Biden in 2020 that she could not capture even a single Democrat delegate.
Now she has selected as her vice president pick the most left-wing governor in the nation. Walz, during the long 2020 summer of rioting, allowed Black Lives Matter and Antifa to run amuck in Minnesota while his new partner Harris raised bail for those jailed for violence.
Walz, like Harris, has done his best to stop pipelines and curtail fossil fuels.
He once boasted that “Democrats go into depression” when they see electoral maps shaded in red, “but it’s mostly rocks and cows that are in that red area.”
Apparently, his advice for Democrats was just to win urban areas and not sweat alienating greater rural Minnesota regions where fewer voters live — a blueprint for their 2024 campaign.
That snark was an expansion of Barack Obama’s dismissal of rural Pennsylvanians as “clingers” and Hillary Clinton’s trashing of the rural working class as “deplorables.”
By selecting the hard-left Walz, Harris reminds the nation who runs the Democratic Party. It is preparing for a hard-left neo-socialist administration — while it seeks to deceive the public for the next 90 days that Harris-Walz are temporary moderates.
Like the cognitively challenged Joe Biden in 2020, word-salad Harris won’t be let out to campaign much by her wary handlers.
Instead, she will out-raise Trump, count on non-Election Day balloting, pose as a centrist, and let her surrogates, like the blowhard Walz, brand Trump as a criminal extremist.
But if the current initial Harris-Walz flipping is embarrassing, their eventual post-November flopping back to the left will be shameless — and dangerous for the nation.
Victor Davis Hanson provides invaluable analysis on a regular basis. And the above is no exception.
I hope as many people as possible see it.
