| As the Wall Street Journal puts it, she is the least known presidential nominee in modern times. | |
| Kamala Harris takes the stage in the culmination of one of the most audacious bets in recent political history that in 100 days Democrats can turn the co-pilot of an unpopular presidency into the reincarnation of Barack Obama's movement for hope and change. | |
| On present course, they might even pull it off. | |
| Isn't that amazing? | |
| The Biden presidency has so been destructive, including the terrible inflation, and she's somehow not part of it. | |
| It's a phenomenon. | |
| Go the bad memories of her association with Joe Biden, and in come the gauzy slogans about our future, the contagious power of hope, and fighting on behalf of people who need a voice and a champion. | |
| Ms. Harris is no longer the vice president who failed to secure the border. | |
| She'll now be tough on illegal immigration. | |
| Isn't that amazing? | |
| All the damage she's done, she's changed her mind about. | |
| She's no longer the Veep who said Bidenomics is working while inflation reached a 40-year high. | |
| She's now the candidate who will reduce your family's food bill by going after your grocer for price gouging. | |
| She's no longer the candidate of 2020 who questioned the need for cash bail and blamed police for urban violence. | |
| She's now the tough prosecutor who was California Attorney General dared to investigate. | |
| Exxon. | |
| She's no longer the presidential candidate of 2019 who wanted to ban fracking, endorse Medicare for all, and questioned whether the current Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency should even exist. | |
| Her campaign suggests she's changed her views on all of that, although she hasn't said why, nor has she even been asked. | |
| It's a phenomenon. | |
| The famous statement of Abraham Lincoln, you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. | |
| It's true. | |
| But apparently you can fool half of the people all of the time. | |
| Not some of the people. | |
| Half of the people. | |
| Because they want to be fooled. | |
| She hasn't done an interview of note since her elevation as the nominee, much less... | |
| By the way, she didn't even have to campaign. | |
| Is there any example other than the death of a president? | |
| But even then, the vice president campaigned to be vice president. | |
| Her speeches are scripted and more teleprompter-safe even than the remarks of the declining President Biden. | |
| She is the least known presidential nominee in modern times. | |
| Why does she really believe? | |
| On domestic policy, it's possible to infer that she pursued President Joe Biden's agenda perhaps even more aggressively. | |
| Her few distinctive policy hints so far suggest she is a California progressive who favors higher tax and even a greater spending. | |
| To complete the president's Build Back Better agenda. | |
| Ms. Harris hasn't had to explain her security views on much of anything. | |
| Does she still favor cutting the defense budget as she did as a senator? | |
| That's a pretty important question. |
