Well, Kamala, it depends on what the meaning of the word “debate” is — 13 Comments

  1. Public exposure of both Biden and Harris during the remainder of the campaign is a plus for Trump.

    Biden is senile and Harris is compulsively glib. She has a weird affect which she cannot control or – even worse – she consciously cultivates.

  2. “And if they are elected, they will do whatever the far left tells them to do.” [Neo]

    And if they are not elected, Scott Adams Tweet (Transcribed, as posted at Instapundit @12:10 pm 8/16/20):

    The more CNN talks about “What if Trump loses and does not leave the job,” the more you know Coup V2.0 is a go,

    Step 1:Get mail-in voting approved to guarantee a non-credible election result.

    Step 2: Claim Trump’s electoral victory is not legitimate.

    Step 3: Use media brainwashing to make it “true” that Trump really lost but has become a dictator, staying in power.

    Step 4: Impeach or otherwise remove Trump by non-Constitutional means. Frame it as saving the nation.

    Given that the left has yet to stop questioning the validity of the 2016 election, is any part of Adams’ hypothesis at all beyond belief? In several readings today, I noted that several authors have come to this conclusion. Adams’ just writes it most succinctly.

  3. Something like 40% of the voters would cast their vote for almost anybody who is “not Trump” (as an aside, it’d be interesting to see actually if they would vote for a known serial killer or indisputable pediphile), so it obviously doesn’t matter much to them what Kamala or Biden’s history is.

    That said, there’s some hypothetical unknown group of persuadable voters in key swing districts that are still up for grabs perhaps. I don’t know who these people are and what’s important to them at this point. Would it be important to such peoplethat Kamala has clearly severely flip-flopped to the point that it’s pretty obvious that she doesn’t really have an real principals beyond the aquiring of power? I can’t say. I’m finding it more and more difficult to understand people who can’t make up their minds, if these people even actually exists in any great numbers.

  4. ” I’m finding it more and more difficult to understand people who can’t make up their minds,” [Nonapod @ 4:05 pm]

    I think it’s possible that the largest majority of the elecotrate has already made up its mind and that reamining swing voters could play a small role this election. Those who hate Trump will vote against him; that they reached their voting position without reasoning means that no rationale argument will cause them to change it (and how can one rationally defend a vote for and increasingly senile candidate). Those who will vote for Trump have, in my speculation, already reached that conclusion as well. Barring some black swan as we approach November 3rd, the anecdotal inferences I keep encountering make me believe that Trump will win and that while I don’t expect a landslide, I get the feeling that it will be decisive.

    Cue Scott Adams’ conspiracy which puts the vote-by-mail canard in a whole new light. All of this is pure speculation, except perhaps, Scott Adams.

  5. Agree with all the above comments, hence the “basement strategy”. No need to have Harris/Biden out in public answering questions and possibly exposing themselves as to their true nature to the few undecideds.

    Adams has the future well-predicted. I would just add the CW2 starts Nov. 4th. The Dems have basically laid all the ground work for that to happen. I keep trying to convinced my wife and some family members of the danger we are facing, but they just fall back into the “you’re just such a pessimist!” response. I keep hoping I see something here at Neo’s and in the news to dissuade me from that position, but as we get closer to the election, I get more depressed.

  6. “I don’t think this knowledge about Harris (or Biden, for that matter) will hurt her support among Democrats.”

    Totally agree.
    Dems are on the same page and they know what to do without needing to be specifically asked.
    Obama was Kenyan when that was useful. He was native-born when that was needed.
    Dem primary voters ditched blacks, women, gays … in order to pick Biden in hopes of tricking those backward “moderate” voters.
    The Dem Platform does NOT have 20 things they’ve trumpeted all year: Green New Deal, healthcare and amnesty for illegals, massive new taxes to make up for shutting down the economy for months, … the list goes on and on. But all Dems know that they’ll get those agenda items.

  7. Give anyone from Shenyang to Bangkok to Surabaya the basic Kamala Harris background bits from bio and they’ll immediately start emitting very politically incorrect things about the particular ethnic normal distribution she hails from.

    Here’s the Z Man with his take on who is backing her and why:

    Like it or not, we were all born wearing our uniforms (our genes being Jacquard’s punch cards) and only the terminally stupid will try to argue otherwise. This doesn’t mean that we’re headed for a war of all against all. But in this insane high immigration, invade the world invite the world globalist cluster ##$@ we find ourselves in, we’re all going to have to get used to making tribal loyalty calculations and forming pragmatic alliances. Pragmatic alliances: none of this We are the World / Proposition Nation nonsense.

    We certainly are headed for a war of Many A against Many B. It’s unavoidable at this stage. Clear thinking needed ahead of time as won’t be many opportunities to defect when things start going badly for one side.

  8. Rusted on Democrats will vote for her. So of course will many blacks even though she’s not one of them. But (and I recall someone pointed this out to me in another thread) she’s unlikely to energise the black vote. Certainly (unlike Obama) she isn’t the son every old black lady wishes she’d had instead of the ones she got.

    The Stick it To Whitey motivation + Gibsmedat motivation will remain unchanged… but Kamala isn’t a new collectible sneaker by a long shot.

    Wow… I think I’ve just figured out a way to knock out the black vote: subvert Nike and release something new on polling day. My self-hating 12.5% rubs hands with glee 🙂

  9. Just saw a meme this evening with 2 photos of Kamala.
    One is labeled 2016 and says “First Indian-American Senator”
    Second is from 2020 and says “First Black Female VP pick”
    and a cat with a magic wand saying “Whoosh! You’re black!”

    She’s not even black …

  10. Doesn’t matter.
    She knows it doesn’t matter.
    Colbert knows…deep in his heart…it doesn’t matter.

    Margin of fraud + 45/odd% is all they’re asking for & if they lose…4 more years of rioting & destabilization.

    The Long Game means the Ds & hard core “tear this mother up” radicals just find something else to destroy that they haven’t already.
    Who’s stopping ’em?

  11. Biden-Kamala talking points (short version):

    – We’re full of it.
    – We know it.
    – And we know you know it.
    – TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP (together with our unabashed self-knowledge and ability to mouth unpleasant truths) is why voting for the Democratic Party ticket is the ONLY conscionable choice for America in November.
    – Join us. Let us be united—in HATE and RESISTANCE—together.

  12. It was a debate. Debaters tell any lie, strike any pose, make up and cite any fact to win.* Of course district attorneys lie to win. Of course lawyers lie to win. Of course politicians lie to win. Harris does what is natural to her, her profession, and her vocation.

    * Recall the video a few years ago of the national student debates, where a team just shouted “racist” over and over to win.

  13. Just spoke to a client of mine who is ethnic Tamil from Sri Lanka. He is not impressed with Comma-la, since she didn’t do anything to help her Tamil brethren during the Sri Lankan civil war.
