Leave it to “The Dumb Question Is the Economy” James Carville to bluntly diagnose what’s wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.
Carville was a Democratic campaign strategist, best known for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. , details) and still offered candid advice to his party.
As in this case, the presumptive Democratic nominee should stop listening to what the Democratic Party says is “so wrong” about the “progressive left.”
According to Fox News, Cavill said on Thursday’s podcast that he hoped “she would tell them all to get lost.”
“Please understand this, and I’m going to say this as clearly as possible: Anyone who has listened to the rhetoric of the progressive left will be deeply sorry,” Carville said.
“They are dead wrong on literally every issue.”
He recalled a speech delivered by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the fall of 2019 (actually, it may have been one in a series of speeches) that essentially blocked her from pledging support for universal health care Insurance while building campaign momentum.
“Ask Elizabeth Warren and Medicare for All. She blew her campaign with just one speech, okay?” he said.
“I’d love to read a good article about who the strategic idiots are behind her 2020 presidential campaign, because they are the real idiots, okay?” he added.
“Why is the border an issue? Because Biden listened to these people early in his term,” Carville continued.
“Not only were they wrong, they were wrong.” They made catastrophic mistakes. clear.
Unfortunately, the problem is that Kamala Harris isn’t going to tell everyone on the progressive left to do something physically impossible. That’s because she’s one of them.
Just ask GovTrack, which ranks her as the most liberal senator in the House of Lords.
Or ask the head of Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick’s campaign. They were the first to link the swing state’s Democratic candidate, incumbent Sen. Bob Casey, to Harris’ far-left stance during the 2020 campaign:

How does Harris distance herself?
She’s certainly trying, speaking in the vague “unburdened by the past” platitudes that have been a big part of her tenure as vice president. That still doesn’t mean the rebrand will be successful.
After all, Donald Trump himself is running a different version of the McCormick ad, and you can expect nearly every Republican in a close race to do the same thing between now and Election Day, assuming their opposition ranks Behind Harris.
Once Americans see this, they will realize that, as Cavill so eloquently puts it, she is one of those people who is “horribly wrong” about everything.
