Remember when the left laughed off "word salad" as a sexist attack? Watch them now. They're not laughing. Kamala Harris hit the trail for Virginia and New Jersey races, and the Democrats who begged her to stay in Brentwood are holding their breath. There's a reason. Every speech is a game of roulette: will she land a point or spiral into a Venn diagram of nothing? She's not just a liability on the stump. She's the walking argument for letting Trump talk without a teleprompter.
The midterms should be about inflation, crime, and the border. Instead, Harris is the story, and not in a good way. Democrats know she's a drag, but they can't bench her. She's the vice president. They own her. And every headline about her latest "connect the dots" moment is a gift to the GOP.
But here's the thing. Trump's been mocked for his own tangents. Voters don't hire people to give TED talks. They hire people to stop the bleeding. Harris offers nothing but a shrug and a thesaurus. Meanwhile, the administration's agenda is collapsing under its own weight. She can't fix that. She can only talk around it.
The best case for Democrats is that she stays home. The best case for the rest of us is she stays on the trail. Keep the cameras rolling. Word salad, extra dressing.
