National Review's Jim Geraghty displayed this sentiment Monday, seemingly struggling to make sense of Kamala Harris' rise to power and the very real possibility that she could be the next president despite the mountain of evidence that she is a simpleton.
"There's this nagging complication - if Kamala Harris is as stupid as her critics claim, why does she have the Democratic presidential nomination and a roughly 50-50 shot of being the first female president in U.S. history?" Geraghty posted on X. "Do you know how many ruthlessly ambitious Democratic men and women have desperately yearned to get where she is? How many smart, tough, shrewd, often underhanded and cold-blooded pols have tried to claw their way up the greasy pole and fallen short? And somehow this supposed dunce managed to do it?" he continued.
To address Geraghty's question: How did Kamala reach the highest levels of the Democrat Party?
Second, it's sad to admit, but a large portion of the population is stupid enough or deranged enough to support Harris.
The Democrat Party nominated Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan in 1852 and 1856, respectively, by passing over arguably the most famous and accomplished Democrat of the era, Stephen Douglas.
Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned in October 1973, paving the way for Ford to become President Richard Nixon's No. 2; then the Watergate scandal pushed Nixon out of office.
Perhaps if she wins, Harris will reveal herself as a political genius who was patiently playing the fool to deceive her enemies, but more likely she'll continue to reveal what she really is: a dolt with a small talent for opportunism.
