The Democratic National Convention - aka the Kamala Harris lovefest - is still happening in Chicago.
It has been just one month since she was handpicked to be her party's presidential nominee after President Joe Biden took himself out of the race.
But months prior to that, there were many Democrats thinking about not having Harris on the Democratic ticket.
Something CNN host Chris Wallace reminded everyone of on Wednesday.
“I‘ve been thinking about this a lot," Wallace began. "As far as this convention is going, I think it‘s going fine, particularly last night. I thought the Obamas were very strong. I thought Michelle Obama was particularly effective. Having said that, it‘s a strange situation, as we all know."
He then talked about the newness of Kamala as far as the top of the ticket went.
“We‘ve had this nominee over the course, Kamala Harris, for 30 days, and usually a convention is the end of a process," he said. "They‘ve gone through an entire six months, a year of a presidential campaign — New Hampshire, Iowa, all the primaries. This one is the beginning of a process in a sense."
Wallace said Harris lacks a real connection to Democratic voters.
“So to me, it feels more like a romance where you‘re in the first month that‘s very intoxicating, you really like the person, but you haven‘t fallen in love yet. That‘s what I feel missing from this convention," he insisted. "They really want her to win. They really want to beat Donald Trump. But [is there a] personal connection to Kamala Harris that there is normally to a new nominee of a party? No, I don‘t think so.”
THEN Wallace reminded everyone of the elephant in the room for the last month.
“In fact, to be brutally honest about it, six months ago there were a lot of delegates that are here and a lot of Democratic officials who were thinking, ‘Gee, maybe we could get rid of Kamala Harris and we’d have somebody else as a backup to Joe Biden,'” Wallace said.
EXACTLY.
Harris was one of the most unpopular vice presidents in modern political history before the media and her party began to mythologize her four weeks ago.
In November of 2023, her approval rating fell as low as 36.3%.
Before far-Left Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed both Biden and then Harris, she was talking about Democrats wanting entirely different nominees.
AOC said this just last month.
“If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave, that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “A lot of them are not just interested in removing the president. They are interested in removing the whole ticket.”
Now Democrats are just going to act like this never happened.
But it did - and for good reason: Kamala Harris should never become president. She lacks what it takes to do the job. She is not capable of the position.
Even some in her own party know it. Or used to.
