Kamala Harris’ speech at last night’s Democrat convention was terrifying in its unusually professional delivery and its absolutely vapid content. That lady has surely learned to read a teleprompter. But the scariest impact of her acceptance speech were the early returns of enthusiasm with which it was accepted by voters outside the convention center.
“The Vice President spoke with authority and admirable brevity (for) 37 minutes. … Kamala Harris introduced herself to the American public on Thursday, and her presentation was much like this week’s Democratic convention: well delivered, confident and optimistic, and mostly devoid of policy substance. Whether she can keep this up, unexplained and unexposed, for the next 12 weeks will determine whether she becomes America’s 47th President.” This according to the 23aug24 WSJ (here).
But the real problem will be Trump and the Republican response between now and November. Thomas Sowell’s warning is worth attending. In his tempest fugit column (here) he admonishes “Republicans better get on the ball. They haven’t made the case against Harris, (and) the clock is ticking.”
Instead of responding with “political jargon or snappy quips” wrapped in insults, the rebuttals should be a la Reagan, timely and in plain English. “There are some Republicans today who seem to understand that. But they are not running in this year’s presidential election. Perhaps they may run in 2028. But there is such a thing as a country declining to the point of no return. Four more years of disastrous Biden-Harris policies, at home and abroad, can take us past that fatal point.”
Bottom line, as they anticipated the 2022 ‘red wave’, the Republicans should never again underestimate the share of our fellow Americans who will swallow hook, line, and sinker the Democrats’ socialist swill. Donald Trump does not once more need to demonstrate how he can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
