Per Edward-Isaac Dovere, Kamala Harris is no longer
running for president. This is excellent, welcome news — the cause for
celebration. Good riddance! May Harris’s failed attempt to find higher office
destroy her career and sully her reputation for all time.
I’m told that I’m not supposed to feel like this — or, at
least, that if I do feel like this, I’m not supposed to say so in public.
People worked on that campaign, you see. People tried really hard. But
that, I’m afraid, is a load of old nonsense. Harris was running for the
presidency, which is another way of saying that she was running to acquire power.
I did not want her to have that power. It is true that some people tried their
best to help her gain that power. They’re probably upset today. But they’ll get
over it. She’s not that special.
On the contrary: She’s a would-be tyrant whose primary
contribution to American life thus far has been to fight “tooth and nail to
uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct
that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of
crucial information by prosecutors”; who has openly promised to act without
Congress; and who showed us exactly who she is during the Kavanaugh hearings,
at which she implied that she knew something terrible about the nominee for the
sole purpose of sharing the insinuation on her Twitter feed. Harris is a woman
who, if successful (“successful”), would have overseen the mass confiscation of
millions of firearms, the seizing of patents, the federalization of abortion
law, and, depending on the polling, the elimination of (her word) the private
health insurance plans of 180 million people.
Everything that is wrong with American politics is summed
up in Kamala Harris. She’s a weather
vane. She’s dishonest. She’s a coward.
She’s condescending.
And she’s a phony. She’s the answer to no useful or virtuous question. Nothing
good has come from her election. She has nothing of value to offer America.
Goodbye. Bad luck. That’s all, folks.
