INSIDER: Is the great Kamala grift finally over?

Views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

Rumors of Kamala Harris’ political comeback may have been put to rest by the failed Democrat presidential candidate herself.

With the loser laying low in Hawaii, an early poll shows that Harris is the early leader among Democrats for the 2028 nomination, one that she would actually have to win instead of having it handed to her.

Her camp is also feeding the media nuggets that she could indeed take another shot at the White House in four years or may instead choose to replace Gavin Newsome as California’s governor in 2026.

Understandably, those in the soon-to-be ex-veep’s orbit would want to keep the grift going for future election cycles by leveraging her appeal to low-information types obsessed with race, gender, and the cult of celebrity, but Harris is and always has been a lousy product.

But the scheme could already be moot.

Three weeks after getting crushed by President-elect Donald J. Trump in the election, a disheveled – and some suggested, drunk – Harris put out a video message to her supporters, a pre-Thanksgiving attempt to rally the demoralized troops that turned out to be a huge turkey.

The rambling and at times incoherent nine-minute video was widely panned on social media with many observing that all of the fake “joy” had been sucked out of the empty pantsuit that did little to show that’s the future of the Democratic Party which was badly stung by the vitriolic identity politics game when Americans rose up and soundly rejected the “woke” ideology that has been forced upon them by Democrats and their media and celebrity toadies.

For three and a half years, Harris was viewed as an embarrassing punchline – even by her own party – until polling showed that Joe Biden was a goner, precipitating the internal Nancy Pelosi-led coup that yanked the incumbent like a diseased tooth and inserted her in his place in the most undemocratic way possible.

Overnight, Harris was miraculously transformed into a rock star figure in a gaslighting and propaganda campaign that rivaled the COVID years with the belief that Americans were too stupid to see that they were being sold a pig in a poke.

But there were serious problems under the hood, not the least of which was that she was an insufferable idiot.

The product launch of “Kamalot” had the benefit of solidly positive media coverage, over a billion and half dollars of campaign cash – much of which had the suspicious appearance of laundered money – and a galaxy of celebrities including such luminaries as Oprah, Beyoncé, Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, George Clooney, which soon fizzled as reality collided with the script.

Harris’ failure to sit for any real interviews other than with CNN’s Dana Bash, a smutty podcaster, the sad remains of what used to be Howard Stern and other sycophants, blew up spectacularly as Trump was everywhere in October, capping it off with a 3-hour interview with Joe Rogan. Harris had also sought an interview with the podcasting giant but he declined to agree to her terms, a missed opportunity for the doomed candidate that haunts her to this day, even though she would have likely made an ass out of herself.

The Harris campaign will likely be a case study in political science classes for decades to come as an example that an overwhelming advantage in money doesn’t translate to success, at least as it applies to the joke of a candidate and her staff of immature brats who frivolously burned through over a billion dollars in a mere three months, paying for concerts, compensating the not-so-beautiful people for their appearances and giving payola to racist MSNBC host Al Sharpton before he slobbered all over her in a late October interview.

The failure of the wonderful fantasy world of “Kamalot” to come to fruition could be summed up best by the immortal words of Honest Abe Lincoln.

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time,” said the former president.

More than any national politician in modern times, Harris was nothing more than the bogus creation of a hype machine that tried to sell her to the American public as a female version of Barack Obama.

They failed miserably.
