Who Will the Dems Replace Kamala With?

By Roger L Simon

Get the hook!  Get the hook!

Apparently Kamala Harris’ handlers were gesturing wildly to Bret Baier to cut things short during his interview of the vice president Wednesday evening.

Good idea—this was a fiasco beyond comprehension.

Well, not completely beyond comprehension because we’ve already seen the Biden v. Trump debate.

The interview went like this:

Baier: “More than 79% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. If you’re turning the page, you’ve been in office for 3.5 years.”

Kamala: “And Donald Trump has been running for office.”

Baier: “But you’ve been the person holding the office.”

The exchanges over the open border were even worse, a subject that, at this point, you would think Ms. Harris could handle, but no.  She couldn’t even apologize for the deaths of innocent young women (I thought they were the party of women) raped and murdered by illegals.

Everything was Trump’s fault.  It was close to a monomania—and monumentally boring.  Kamala is a screecher and you could easily see how it had come to pass that so many of her vice-presidential staff had left, at a record-breaking level or nearly, I understand..  She was hostile and defensive from the moment she sat down, no joy , not even the false variety, to be found.

The handlers called time just when Baier was in the process of asking about the billions sent by her administration to Iran that have allowed the mullahs to arm their murderous fiefdoms across the Middle East.  Saved by the bell!

Someone wrote on X: “Kamala’s Fox appearance was worse than the night @TulsiGabbard demolished her in the primary debate.  She’s Done”.

So I have to call my own question.  Who will the Democrats replace Kamala with?

Well, let’s see…. There’s Pete B.  He ran before.  … Gen. Milley… Admiral Levine, bumped up from Health Minister … wait, wait, while I run screaming from the room.

Okay. I know it’s too late anyway.  There’s no time for a new candidate. People are already voting.

The vice president would have done well to have studied how to answer hostile questions from JD Vance who does that extremely well while keeping his cool.  There’s a lesson in that.

And I certainly owe an apology to Bret Baier of whom I was skeptical in my previous post.  He did a highly professional job, asking probing and sharp questions without seeming obnoxious.  Kudos to him and to FOX. There’s a lesson in that (for me too in jumping to conclusions).

As bad as Kamala was, this does not assure her demise, though it clearly doesn’t help her as the clips from this interview make the rounds and become fodder for campaign ads.

But assuming for the moment the polls and the more reliable prediction markets are correct and she’s a loser, something I heard last night while listening to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mark Halperin is resonating in a truly spooky, not a fun Haloweenish, manner.

Tucker asked political prognosticator Halperin what it would be like if Kamala loses.  He said millions of Democrats would suffer from a psychological collapse that would create the “greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country”.  The ramifications of this, including violence, will be all over society for a long time.  This is no normal election.

I don’t have the expertise and certainly not the contacts of Halperin, but that has also been my observation.  The time between the election and inauguration could well be fraught beyond anything we have seen this century and quite a while before.  And it’s not likely to stop at the inauguration. Trump Derangement Syndrome, so manifested by Ms. Harris during the interview, is a profound mental illness not likely to go away with the snap of the finger or anybody’s vote. And with the psychotherapy community so predominantly leftist they are likely to exacerbate the situation more often then help improve it.

My advice is to hold tight and remember Who has the whole world in His hands.  Trust in the Almighty.

But you might also rerun JD Vance’s debate with Tim Walz as a lesson in how to stay calm under pressure and win.  We may all need it.
