Sorry, Hillary. Or congrats?
It’s one of the fiercest debates in politics these days: Who is the worst American politician of the 21st century? Some say Hillary Clinton, for obvious reasons. Others insist Kamala Harris is worse, also for obvious reasons.
Correction: It was one of the fiercest debates in politics. For now, the matter has been settled. Kamala is definitely worse. Sorry, Hillary. Or congratulations.
Our analysis is based on a recent NBC News report about Harris’s ongoing flirtation with another presidential run in 2028, among other news items from the past several weeks. The NBC article contains one of the most baffling paragraphs ever written about an American politician who almost became president—not that she could ever win a national election, but because she served four years as vice president under Joe Biden, who was barely alive.
NBC notes that Harris is struggling to articulate what she actually thinks about Israel. She often struggles to express coherent thoughts, but this is different. Democrats have grown increasingly hostile to the Jewish state—for reasons that include toxic empathy, geopolitical ignorance, and antisemitism—and many fault the Biden-Harris administration for being insufficiently supportive of Palestinian terrorism.
Accordingly, a “person close to Harris” tells NBC that a “potential pivot” could be on the horizon. Harris “is signaling privately that she has more to say about the Middle East now that she is freed from the Biden White House policy, this person said, adding that she is likely to do so after the midterm elections,” the outlet reported. “That could be done from the perspective of a party elder or from the perspective of a candidate seeking votes, this person said.”
In summary: A professional politician has authorized an anonymous source to reveal that she plans to weigh in on an issue of heightened political importance roughly six months from now—pending the results of the midterm elections (and assuming those results can confirm that her thoughts on the matter are actually her thoughts).
