Kamala Is Very Fragile

Kamala Harris spoke to the National Association of Black Journalists yesterday, and despite the reporters trying to give her the verbal equivalent of a tongue bath, it ended up going poorly for her.

By the end of the event, tensions were running high--so high that Kamala Harris practically ran out of the room, and the journalists looked stunned. 

Watch that clip on a loop. It gets worse every time you look at it. The raw hostility borne of shame emanates from Kamala, and the journalists look stunned at how poorly she did and how fragile her ego is. 

You may recall that Donald Trump met with the same group, went through the same process, and despite the nearly white-hot hostility directed at him by the journalists he came out the other side smiling and proud.

If you can face a bullet and snipers all around you, a few journalists taking verbal potshots at you isn't going to throw you off. 

There were instances where even her cheerleaders in the media pushed her to actually answer a question, and that was so shocking to Kamala that she nearly fell apart due to anger. 

There is a reason Kamala doesn't want to talk to journalists--even friendly ones. She might just have to answer a question off the cuff and she is horrible at it. 

Once she gets past the line "I grew up in a middle-class home," she is lost. The best she can provide is word salads without any dressing to help us choke them down. Kamala can deliver a teleprompter speech pretty well and even spew prepared answers memorized over weeks with relative aplomb, but she is as light on her verbal feet as an elephant.

Imagine her taking an interview such as those directed at Trump or Vance. She would collapse into a ball and weep. 

Watch that clip again--seriously. The crowd barely gave her a polite clap; she refused to look at the audience, preferring to look at the floor, and the three FRIENDLY journalists looked as if they were just asked to eat a bowl of lemons. 

Kamala Harris' campaign is like Wile E. Coyote just after he ran off the edge of a canyon: still airborne but about to fall catastrophically once they look down. 

The only reason Kamala Harris has any chance of winning is the abbreviated campaign cycle. If she had been elevated to the top of the ticket in February, she would be 8 points behind now. But starting so late provided her an advantage: she could get away without talking for months. 

That honeymoon period may be ending, though, and if this interview is any indication, the crash will be hard and not late enough for her to survive the campaign.
