The Kamala Harris Campaign Was Even Worse Than You Thought

Just hours into election night last November, it was already obvious that
Kamala Harris’s short-lived and ill-fated candidacy was a masterclass in
political self-destruction and how not to run for president. But two
recent developments have revealed in even more detail just how bad her
campaign was.

One of the most innovative and effective media strategies Trump employed
during his 2024 campaign was embarking on a tour of some of the most
popular podcasts in the country – a tactic that likely helped him make
serious inroads with voters under 30.

By far the most influential podcast Trump appeared on was The Joe Rogan
Experience. The episode amassed an astonishing 38 million views in just
three days and has topped 55 million views to date.

In a book published after the election, Harris’s campaign aides claimed
that Rogan refused to make time to interview the vice president,
suggesting that Rogan only wanted to talk to Trump. But during a February
4 episode with Dan Richards, Rogan explicitly said that claim was false.

“They keep pretending that I lied,” Rogan said. “They never committed to
doing it.”

“They’re saying that her people came and did a walkthrough of the studio,”
he added. “That never happened. Trump’s people did a walkthrough.”

According to Rogan, while Trump’s team readily agreed to an appearance,
Harris’s staff insisted on conditions that would have fundamentally
altered the show’s format, including conducting the interview in
Washington D.C. instead of Rogan’s Texas studio. “It’s gotta be the actual
real show,” Rogan said. “It shouldn’t be some fake version of it where I’m
sitting in a conference room.”

Failing to appear on Rogan’s platform, known for long-form, unscripted
conversations, became yet another missed opportunity for Harris’s already
struggling candidacy.

But another development last week revealed why the Harris campaign may
have been reluctant to turn its candidate loose for hours of unscripted
raw conversation with an honest broker in Rogan.

Just one day after Rogan released his podcast with Richards, CBS publicly
released the uncut footage of the network’s October interview with Harris
following a $10 billion lawsuit from Trump alleging deceptive editing.

The full tape of the “60 Minutes” interview was the smoking gun in the
campaign’s media choreography scheme. As conservatives had alleged all
along, what CBS presented to viewers was a meticulously curated
performance, stripped of the moments where Harris struggled to articulate
clear positions on key campaign issues and delivered meandering,
incoherent responses.

The full interview reveals what appears to be a deliberate collusion
between the candidate and corporate media, particularly considering CBS
only aired 20 minutes of its conversation with Harris.

From the perspective of a media executive hoping to protect Harris from
voter backlash, it’s easy to see why CBS was reluctant to release the full
tapes.

For instance, in the vice president’s unedited comments, she boasted that
while she was California District Attorney, her words “could move
markets,” exposing what some might consider to be a deeply concerning view
of government power.

When discussing Trump’s comments about reports of migrants eating pets in
Springfield, Ohio, Harris also confusingly recounted: “One day when this
happened was a school day, picture for an elementary school… Picture day,
you know what picture day is for our children. They get excited the night
when you put out the clothes they’re going to wear, they go to school
making sure their faces are clean, and their hair is done, and they go to
school for picture day. You know what happened to these children? They had
to evacuate that day, because of the fear of the threats that were being
issued in Springfield because of the words of Donald Trump.”

Time and again throughout the unedited CBS interview, Harris devolved the
characteristic word salads that made her the subject of countless internet
memes and earned her mockery from both the left and the right throughout
her campaign. The fact that CBS went to such great lengths to bury
Harris’s longwinded answers only to produce a final product that still
drew criticism speaks to how deeply flawed Harris was as a candidate.

Harris’s campaign was also famously devoid of policy prescriptions and
fixated on bashing Trump, another flaw that showed through in the unedited
CBS tapes. Apparently recognizing this unhealthy obsession with her
opponent, however, the version of the interview that aired excluded
Harris’s most unhinged attacks.

The fallout from CBS’s deceptive editing has only added to the already
catastrophic collapse in public trust in the corporate press. CBS is now
facing scrutiny over all of its editorial decisions, with critics arguing
that the network’s choices reflect a broader pattern of media
organizations attempting to influence political outcomes rather than
reporting objectively.

Both of these developments also underscore a fatal flaw in the Harris
campaign: the vice president and her team were so terrified of gaffes and
unscripted moments that they completely failed to engage in any meaningful
way with voters. There remain serious questions about whether Harris had
any ability at all to connect with everyday Americans. But perhaps even
more damaging was the perception that she was unwilling to do so.

In many ways, the Harris campaign was the last gasp of an old and tired
media strategy. Control the message, minimize risk, and avoid spontaneity.
But 2024 made clear that the American people wouldn’t have it. Voters
wanted something different — something real. And that’s what they got.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Kamala Harris claimed she was "Black", but she looked like a White
woman, like Elizabeth Warren or the University of Colorado professor who
claimed to be an American Indian, Ward Churchill. Everything about her
was fraudulent.

Evidently Barron Trump was behind the decision to have his father go on podcasts
as it would boost his visibility with the younger demographic who have mostly abandoned
legacy media.
Either way, it was a brilliant strategy.
Despite pulling out all stops, the media could not protect Kamala and the democrats this time.
And now both the MSM and democrat party are sinking quickly with people and it's due
to a lack of trust and a poor vision of what the people want.

No one else goes on podcasts. Better spread the word because no other
politician has ever been on a podcast before, especially on the right
because they're uncomfortable in closed quarters, mostly due to their bad
times behind bars.

I'm still processing all the wisdom Trump imparted on us during the
campaign. Has he stopped the illegals from eating dogs and cats yet, or
is that something he does himself on the sly?

It's good to see that Barron has a brain because daddy's mental faculties
have been crushed since he got vaccinated and boosted in 2020. It's
always a shame to see the youngest child raising the parent due to mental
incapability and being an invalid.

Trump will see the inside of an extended care home for the aged in no
time.
