As I watched the interview of Kamala Harris, I found myself folded up in my chair, waiting for the worst. Her comments have been so cringe-worthy, her lies so obvious, her word salads so infamous, that I figured that the interview would be a disaster. Even her sidekick, Walz, wouldn’t be able to bail her out.
When the interview was over, I uncurled myself from my chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Well, it could have been worse.
I watched the panel on CNN say that she was better than “worst,” and in fact lauded her appearance. And then I switched to Fox News and Joe Concha, which woke me up from my lethargy.
I realized how pathetic and gratuitous my thinking was.
Kamala Harris is such a poor candidate that anything better than horrible was acceptable. She only told a couple of lies. Her word salads were minimal. (Walz stepped in with his reference to his poor grammar regarding his military service.) And she pointed to the fact that her values hadn’t changed.
What values? And how in the world does she define values?
Harris has no values that I can identify with. She has outrageous positions that she holds too tightly. Her views—not her values—change as often and as frequently as the wind blows. And she doesn’t represent anything—and I mean anything—that I would endorse for a candidate for President.
Unfortunately, I was aghast at how easily I fell into tolerating mediocrity. Am I really prepared to settle for “less than worst” with a person running for President? How many people who want to find a reason to vote for her are doing the same thing?
I have been swimming in the ocean of lies and betrayal from the Left for far too long.
But I’ve been rescued.
And I’m back.
BTW, I’ve been voting for Trump and Vance from the start.

Her only real values seem to be to push progressive policies (whatever that is at the moment) and say whatever is necessary to be elected to the next office.
From what I can see, she has never accomplished anything in her political career which is something that cannot even be said about Joe Biden.

I don't know that progressive ideas even qualify as values. Clearly she just wants to do whatever she has to, in order to cross the finish line.
For the record, the way I define values are those beliefs that guide our lives: integrity, truth, honesty, loyalty, humility--they have nothing to do with climate change or fracking. And I don't always do all of them well, but I try to honor them.
It might be interesting for those who criticize her claim of values, to share some of your own.

Wow. That is a scary thought.

It's sort of like watching a dog walk on its hind legs: You aren't concerned with whether it does the trick well. It's sort of impressive that the dog can do that at all.
I didn't watch, but if Walz didn't have to mansplain for her or shield her from Dana's questions, I guess, given expectations, the interview was a success.
