• Ax yourself a question (as Kamala Harris might put it): If you are an ambitious Democrat—say, Gavin Gruesom, Wretched Whitmer, Josh Shaprio, etc—do you really want Kamala Harris to win this election? If she does win, it would seem more likely than not that she’ll be the nominee again four years from now, which means that your next shot at running will be 2032. Today’s fair-haired Democrats like Newsom and Whitmer will be yesterday’s news by 2032. Much better for their own self-interest if she loses, and 2028 willbe an open seat race since Trump will be limited to one term I’ll bet they’d all fail a polygraph exam on this question.

 

 

• Thesis: The worst thing that could happen to the Democratic Party would be a Kamala Harris presidency. You think Carter was bad for long-term Democratic prospects? A Harris loss should lead to a reckoning inside the Democratic Party as happened after their successive drubbings from 1980 through 1988. That reckoning required the party to moderate. (Recall that Biden was meant to be a “transitional” president, as was the case with Carter. Look how that was turning out before “Operation Kamala” was unleashed.)

 

 

If Trump wins, it should provoke an intense civil war inside the Democratic Party. The progressives will claim that Kamala lost because she wasn’t progressive enough, while the party old guard will say it is long overdue for the party to suppress their progressive radicals. Not clear who might win this struggle, but I’m buying popcorn futures.
