The Wrong One

Kamala Harris, in her new book, "107 Days," claims she chose Tim Walz as a running mate over her first choice, Pete Buttigieg, because the American people were not ready for a black woman married to a Jewish man on the same presidential ticket with a homosexual. Nonsense. 

First, American voters do not vote for vice presidents; they vote the top of the ticket. Second, Americans will vote for whomever they please. 

People said America was not ready for a black president, that is, until Barack Obama came along. Then, they voted for him twice. Why? Because he was the right one. They said America was not ready for a Catholic president until it voted for John Kennedy. Again, he was the right one.  

America would have voted for Hilary if she had been the right woman. She was not; neither was Kamala. (In fact, Kamala was a bad candidate. It did not help that party leaders chose to anoint her with the top spot on the ticket, leaving voters with the bad taste in their mouths that she had not earned what previous candidates had to endure a gauntlet to achieve. Much of the blame for that can be put on Joe Biden's selfishness. But, don't blame the American voters. They are resilient. They say, "Show me what you got." Kamala did not show much. Wrong move, Kamala.)

You would think that such sophisticated people as Americans would not vote for a maniac for president. But, what if he was the right maniac, like Donald Trump?

Americans will vote for a woman, a Jew, a communist, a gay - Americans will vote for a felon for president... if they like that felon. Kamala should stop blaming the American people for her loss to Trump and start looking at her own shortcomings. 

Buttigieg, Walz, Pennsylvania's Jewish governor, Shapiro - it does not matter. She could have chosen either of them, and she still would have lost - no matter her color, her creed, her husband, or whatever else she thinks might have defined her. America defined Kamala Harris: She is the wrong one.
