Here’s how Kamala can handle conflict with her past views

Way back at the end of July, that seems a century ago, as the palace intrigue was winding up, with Kamala Harris winning the game of musical Presidential chairs, I gave her some heartfelt advice in a 5-point plan, which she seems to have taken, although I have no evidence she has ever seen it.

Maybe one of my millions of fans 😄 forwarded it to her. Anything’s possible.

If you are too lazy busy to click on the link, here’s a thumbnail of my advice: 1- Lose the cackle. She has, no trace of it Thursday night. 2- Don’t respond to name-calling. She hasn’t, although she has, and should, attack Trump’s record and lies. 3- Lay off your race and gender because we know you are a woman of color. She did, Thursday night. 4- Select a “normal” running mate with low negatives. She did. (Before arguing with me, click the link.) 5- Don’t deny you are the “border czar.” She didn’t and offered a sketchy plan for the border.

All very mainstream. Sounding like the “common sense” she has promised.

Here’s the problem. Her pre-VP record, according to nonpartisan GovTrack, draws a picture of a woman in the “most politically Left” category in the U.S. Senate.

Here’s a summary of her Left positions in The New York Times. I added some the paper missed:

She would end fracking, substitute Medicare for all for private health insurance, order mandatory buyback of assault weapons, would “think about” ending ICE, and no added funding for police.

She was open to abolishing the Electoral College, and possibly expanding the U.S. Supreme Court. She was a cheerleader for the new green deal.

She would decriminalize illegals and give them free health care, and a “path to citizenship,” under her approval of Sanctuary Cities and States.

Now, you may like some or all of these, but the majority of Americans do not.

As of right now, Harris has issued only one position — to reduce food costs by instituting price controls. Even the liberal Washington Post called that a “gimmick.”

On her previous positions, she has had spinmeisters say she no longer believes all of that.

It don’t count until she says it.

But how can she explain a 180 on so many issues, without seeming like an Olympic flip-flopper?

Here’s another piece of advice from Political Advisor Stu.

1- Call a news conference. 

2- Limit it to 30 minutes. Don’t try to run out the clock with extraordinarily long answers, as Barack Obama used to do. (Oh, yes he did.) After 30 minutes, have an aide pull a fire alarm. (Democrats are good at this.) But don’t get caught on video like that sap Jamaal Bowman did.

3- Here is what Kamala Harris should say:

“I never said any of that. It’s fake news.”

I am joking. That is what Donald J. Trump would say.

Harris should say this: “As my dear mother used to say, all life’s travels are a journey of learning. I had ideas in 2019, and earlier, that I thought were good. 

“They may have been ‘good’ in San Francisco, but I learned they are not liked by most people, by the people who I wish to represent. I can’t represent them if I don’t agree with them. That’s common sense.

“You know I didn’t pass the California Bar exam on my first attempt. I needed more study and a do-over. That’s what I’m doing here.

“Joyfully, I am repudiating my far Left views, and aligning my policy with those of the middle class, about whom you have heard me speak so often.

“It’s a new way forward. I will now answer questions. Please don’t shout at me. Raise your hands like ladies and gentlemen, and, um, others, I guess, and wait to be called on. Thank you.”
