Good stuff, Jeff. The narrative pivot was needed because what are they really going to say: "Sometimes to save Democracy you have to suspend Democracy"? 😉

The Dems are in their usual "repackaging" mode, where they take someone and market them like a product, based on polling. They did it with Obama, who purposefully did NOTHING prior to his presidential campaign. Why? Because it is much easier to paint a blank canvas. But he was a hyper-partisan leftist. They spent millions to lock up his school records. They always hide the vulnerabilities. Then they packaged him as a brilliant, one-of-a-kind genius.

They did it with Biden, too, packaging him as a "uniter" and a "moderate." This was based on polling of what people wanted at the time. He was anything but.

With Harris they will have to lie to us by "repairing" her image into something completely unlike who she actually is. She will be a "compassionate, hard-working leader" or some shit. Does it matter? When she "governs" it will be the same people putting paper in front of her to sign (policies she hasn't read), to activate their policies, not hers.

The good news is that she apparently gets so twisted up in trying to be what she thinks people want her to be that it's plainly obvious she has no real ideological tether. She will be whatever the pollsters say she needs to be in order to get that sweet-sweet power.

Her staff hates her, and she has a 90%+ turnover rate in the three years she's been VP. There are only 3 people left from her original assumption of the VP office. Three out of 47! That speaks volumes.

It will be up to Trump and Vance to remind America who she really is, and to pound her mercilessly.

This campaign is far from won, but if they show Americans that she is just an empty suit being packaged by Democrat consultants then Trump will win.
