    This is one dumb woman. Got appointed to the general election and still complaining about the system is broken. Idiot along with anyone who voted for her.

    Shapiro laying the groundwork for himself

    Josh Shapiro says Kamala Harris will ‘have to answer’ for never raising concerns over Biden’s health

    https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/media...or-never-raising-concerns-over-bidens-health/

    excerpt:

    Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told ESPN host Stephen A. Smith that former Vice President Kamala Harris is “going to have to answer” for why she never raised any concerns to the public over former President Joe Biden’s health in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

    Smith, on his “Straight Shooter” podcast on Thursday, asked Shapiro why Harris didn’t share her concerns over Biden’s health before revealing them in her new book “107 Days.”

    “I haven’t read the former vice president’s book, and she’s going to have to answer to how she was in the room and yet never said anything publicly,” Shapiro told Smith.

    Shapiro said he was “extremely vocal” about Biden’s fitness to run again and argued that Biden’s staff failed to fully brief him on his dwindling chances of victory.

    Is Kamala Harris Staging a 2028 Comeback?
    In an interview, the former vice president says she still views herself as a leader in the Democratic Party

    https://www.wsj.com/politics/kamala...0?st=Tf4uZ6&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

    excerpt:

    Harris has declined to rule out another presidential bid. Asked in the interview if she had a timeline for making a decision on her political future, Harris said, “You’re assuming I’m thinking about it,” and wouldn’t elaborate.

    The former vice president said she still views herself as a leader within the party. “I was the Democratic nominee for president,” she said. “I came close to winning. Of course I do.”

    She can try, but it won't work.

    Opinion

    Editorial Board
    Kamala Harris’s one good deed
    The former VP has managed to put on a book tour even less compelling than her presidential campaign.


    No one, perhaps not even Kamala Harris, knows for certain whether Kamala Harris really wants to be president. The promotional tour for her new book hasn’t cleared up that mystery, but it has reminded the country why most Americans did not want her in the White House.

    On Monday, Harris offered her first major interview since leaving office, to a predictably deferential MSNBC. Yet even on friendly turf, the former vice president seemed uncomfortable and inauthentic.

    Rachel Maddow pressed Harris on whether she supports New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. “He’s the Democratic nominee, and he should be supported,” Harris intoned, before adding, “I support the Democrat in the race, sure.” Not exactly a bold stance for someone once thought of as the leader of the Democratic Party. Why not outright endorse Mamdani — or at least make clear why she’s hesitant?

    Maddow also pressed Harris over her decision to effectively reject then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as a running mate because he is gay. Harris responded by equivocating and rambling that “maybe” she had been overly cautious. “I’m being very candid about that, with a great deal of sadness about also the fact that it might have been a risk,” she said, apparently without irony.

    The book tour also took Harris back to the scene of one of her short campaign’s lowest points: a friendly sit-down on ABC’s “The View.” Asked to name something she would have done differently than President Joe Biden, she memorably said last year that “there is not a thing that comes to mind.” Back on the show Tuesday, she repeated that line as a joke and demonstrated an almost impressive lack of self-awareness: “I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden.”

    Is Harris a brilliant political mind who simply freezes up in front of cameras? Alas, taking the time to organize her thoughts in writing doesn’t help much. Indeed, virtually every page of her book, “107 Days,” offers a glaring reminder of why she failed to close the deal.

    Much of the book is score-settling that ought to be beneath an aspiring president — the sort of small-mindedness that Democrats rightly knock President Donald Trump for. She is annoyed at Joe and Jill Biden over the former president’s decision to run again, but she did not press him to withdraw, even privately, because it was “as if we’d all been hypnotized.” The critique also extends to staffers and potential running mates. Even her husband gets chastised for failing to arrange a suitable birthday celebration while he was out on the road trying to get her elected.

    A once and perhaps future presidential candidate should have a better grasp on what presidential leadership sounds like, even in a self-serving memoir. Instead, Harris creates the image of herself as an A student who tells interviewers her greatest weakness is that she’s just too much of a perfectionist.

    The best that can be said about Harris’s step back into the spotlight is that it’s happening now. Democrats have a real shot at victory in 2028, but they won’t have time to waste on someone like the former vice president.

    I don’t find Shapiro terribly likable - but he is a ruthless shark.

    Sometimes that's what you need, WH Chief of Staff sounds like a great job for him. Or Speaker of the House.

    Who cares about his folly. If he wants to build a ballroom, then he can build a ballroom. I’m more concerned that the President is on national television doing an interview and knows nothing about the person he pardoned after that person financially supported him.

    Sounds like they need to extend Autopen's term on his Wall of Presidents at the White House

    Don’t sleep on Shapiro. He would pound Creepy Vance head to head.

    Too much anti semitism on the left for that to happen. Dems are the party of losers and they view Jews as winners and ruthless.

    I like Rahm for the dems but can't see them running out a Jewish person (that's why Kamala didn't pick Shapiro).

    Parties change quickly.

    Consider that all of the mediocre loser white men that have been left behind by the successful white men have joined MAGA, These men are struggling to compete with minorities and women in the workplace and are losing in the social sphere as well. So there are plenty of losers on the Right as well, plenty of mooches and takers.

    As for the Palestinian protesters, they are at some point going to be pushed aside. The Democrats have played it too careful for too long - and the economic outlook is poor, so that is what most people will vote on, including many of the slobs.
