Vice President Kamala Harris is set to accept her party’s nomination for president in a speech that will amount to must-see TV.
Must see. Like a train wreck.
The party that once gave you the soaring oratory of Barack Obama’s “Hope and Change” sermon in 2008 (or even his “red states/blue states” speech in 2004) now shifts the spotlight to a candidate who can barely put together a string of cohesive sentences on a good day.
She is cringe. She is awkward. She is incapable.
The phrase “word salad” trends on social media on just about any occasion that Harris speaks publicly. It’s why her campaign has desperately sought to hide her in a basement, locked away from the spotlight like Rapunzel in a tower.
Why? Because she can’t speak. When she does speak, she talks in circles. When she talks in circles, the nervous cackle comes out.
Then, it’s on to speeches about her fascination with yellow school buses and Venn diagrams.
And it’s just weird.

With Multiple Word Salads and Cringe Moments
Kamala’s Gobbledygook Answer About Paying for Her Spending Shows Exactly Why They Don’t Let Her Talk
Harris gave a little pep talk to football players from Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania on Sunday. The speech didn’t exactly call to mind the legendary Knute Rockne.
The presumptive Democrat nominee urged the players to become role models and to “excel,” which will lead to “excellence.”
Take a look at this motivational masterpiece:
“By doing that and all that that requires — which is the hard work; the practice; working as a team; knowing that you will be undefeated, even if you don’t win every game, but no circumstance or event or moment will defeat your spirit and your fight and your preparedness to win and excel, that nothing will dampen your spirit of excellence — that’s what I’m counting on from each of you and that’s what makes our nation strong.”
It’s a word salad. A super-weird word salad. Like a toddler discovering words for the first time, employing them every chance they get regardless of their meaning.

The leader of the Democrat Party isn’t simply failing to offer inspiration for life. She also fails to offer words of comfort during difficult times.
Howard University lost to Kansas during last year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Unfortunately for them, Harris was there to try and pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.
“So I know you may not be feeling great right now, OK, but know who you are. You are excellence. You are hard work. You are powerful, and you are winners,” she told the game’s losers.

Herb Brooks’ “Miracle on Ice” speech ain’t got nothin’ on Kamala.
It isn’t just her inability to grasp the concept of sporting events – “You’re undefeated if you don’t win every game, you’re winners even when you lose” – that shows her inability to form coherent thoughts.
(And think about that for a moment. We’re just weeks removed from a presidential candidate who didn’t have the brain wave capacity to tie his own shoes, and Harris still looks intellectually inferior.)
It seems incredibly unlikely that Kamala will be able to elucidate actual policy positions in her upcoming DNC speech.
Does anybody recall her speech regarding “children of the community” outside of the Children’s National Hospital in Washington?
“When we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community,” the vice president said.
Upon completing that deep thought, Harris delivered her trademark grin at the end as if to say, “Yea, I just nailed that.”
Narrator: She didn’t nail it.

Kamala Harris is the greatest orator the DNC currently has to offer.
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time …” – Barack Obama.
“Ask not what your country can do for you …” – JFK.
“Four score and seven years ago …” – Abraham Lincoln.
And on to … “Children of the community … are a children of the community … “ – Kamala Harris.
If that doesn’t get voters’ juices flowing, how about this?
Harris was speaking to a group from historically Black colleges and universities last year when the host asked people in the room essentially to “Please clap.
Even then, they didn’t.

Low. Energy.
But wait, there’s more!
During a speech at the internationally broadcast Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit, Harris latched onto the phrase “work together” and then promptly ran it into the ground, saying it, or a close variation, six times over the course of 30 seconds.
You’d have thought a staff member would come out and give her a good slap on the back to make the record stop skipping.
On Sunday, she was going viral once more regarding a speech about the “duality of democracy.”
Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy,” Harris said.
“As a democracy, we know there’s a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact. What it does for its people, to protect and defend their rights. Incredibly strong.
“And incredibly fragile,” added Harris. “It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And that’s what this campaign is about.”

It is incredible, really. She can ramble on and on about “what this campaign is about” and still leave the American people wondering “what this campaign is about.”
A champion of saying a lot of words without ever drawing a conclusion or completing a thought.
It’s the kind of speech that prompted former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson to describe Harris as “a low-I.Q. wine mom” or “a dyslexic poet with a limited vocabulary.”
However you want to describe it, it’s weird.
And Democrats must be absolutely on the edge of their seats with nervous anticipation not seen since Biden was on the verge of getting into his own train wreck at the last presidential debate.
They need Kamala to hit a grand slam with her speech to close out the convention. But Harris isn’t capable of hitting a ball off the tee at this point.
