Picture the moment when Democrats are forced to post-mortem, for instance, the bizarre “white dudes for Harris” campaign gimmick. Whose idea was this, anyway? Who is going to take the blame for the production and dissemination of painfully inauthentic videos featuring equally painfully inauthentic pro-Harris “macho” men? Who will cop the blame for its mockery at the Al Smith dinner this year, which even drew laughs from former president Trump’s most animated critics?  

Then imagine the attempt by campaign operatives to disown the “brat” branding, a far-too-niche bit of election-year marketing if ever there was any.   

Who will be held responsible for recommending Harris go on Fox News for her contentious interview with Bret Baier? More importantly, who will be held accountable for prepping Harris (or not prepping her, as it appeared)?  

Who will take the fall for Harris’s refusal to prepare for interviews up until the final month or her refusal to prepare for predictable (and repeated) questions?
