It underscores her tendency to deliver insubstantial phrases about lighting one&#8217;s inner hope and staying optimistic, wich the author finds superficial and lacking substance. The article also points out that media coverage tends to overlook her verbal blunders compared to intense scrutiny faced by Republicans, emphasizing her <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >political ambitions<\/a> despite ongoing communication issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In 2008, when America was in peak Barack Obama-as-savior mode, an artist by the name of Shepard Fairey designed a poster featuring the then-presidential candidate rendered in red, white, and blue with a single word on it: \u201cHope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The portrait was iconic not just because of the stenciling \u2014 it was hardly groundbreaking in style, and the thing was so primitive that could have been a screenshot from a 20-year-old Commodore Amiga game \u2014 but because of that one word \u2014 doing double duty as both a noun and a verb.<\/p>\n<p>We were supposed to have \u201chope\u201d that Obama was going to change things, of course. But we also supposed to <em>hope<\/em> that he could end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. <em>Hope<\/em> that he could improve the economy. <em>Hope<\/em> that he could give us all free stuff.<\/p>\n<p>We were, in other words, to commit to an <em>action<\/em>: hoping. Now, let me ask you something, all ye Americans who have graduated grammar school: What part of speech is an action?<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward 18 years, and former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-kamala-harris-speech-appears-put-onstage-musician-sleep\/\">Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> is amply proving why Obama was very lukewarm about her being the 2024 Democratic Party nominee.<\/p>\n<p>In case you haven\u2019t noticed, Harris is effectively running a shadow campaign for the 2028 presidential nomination, and polls are showing that time heals all wounds \u2014 or at least lobotomizes Democrats so that they don\u2019t remember what happened just two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ca-governor-breaks-his-own-covid-rules-to-eat-fancy-french-food\/\" title=\"Ca.

Gavin Newsom at 14 percent), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/democratic-primary\/2028\/national\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RealClearPolitics<\/a> aggregate echoes this, with Haris at 27.3 percent and Newsom at 17.0 percent as of Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>To a certain extent, this could be just Newsom\u2019s reversion to the mean or voters simply getting tired of his schtick, and betting markets still see Newsom as the favorite for the nomination. (He\u2019s in first place with 23 percent on <a href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/event\/democratic-presidential-nominee-2028\/will-gavin-newsom-win-the-2028-democratic-presidential-nomination-568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polymarket<\/a> vs. 7 percent chances for Harris, who\u2019s in fourth place behind Newsom, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff.)<\/p>\n<p>However, one cannot discount Harris, particularly since she has the experience of running two campaigns (unsuccessfully, but people say failure is the launchpad to success \u2014 usually when they\u2019re failing, but whatever), name recognition, and (unlike Newsom) an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/left-furious-trump-said-newsoms-learning-disability-prevent-becoming-president-right\/\">SAT score<\/a> that\u2019s probably above the triple digits.<\/p>\n<p>So clearly, she can work on the issues that have plagued her in the past \u2014 particularly the deer-in-headlights mien that gave us glorious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-falsely-claims-border-laughs-interviewer-calls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clips like this one<\/a> during her time in the Biden White House:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">HARRIS: \u201cWe\u2019ve been to the border.
