Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t mumble incoherently or slip into long stretches of senility on the debate stage Tuesday evening with former President Donald Trump. That alone was a definitive victory for a Democrat Party that less than two months ago was forced to install Harris as its presidential candidate after octogenarian-in-chief Joe Biden’s mental batteries died during a disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
But despite getting by with a lot of help from her debate moderator friends at ABC(DNC) News, Harris proved to be the same empty vessel she’s always been. While she managed to stick to the more centrist-sounding talking points her political handlers have programmed into her, the vice president’s debate performance was a feast of word salad sentences, inane political platitudes, and a refusal to answer basic questions about her abysmal political record. Harris’ recent quick-change from Marxist to moderate was on full display, but the political schtick was as unbelievable as ever.
