Let’s face it.
Kamala Harris was a lousy presidential candidate. Candidates often have flaws. Some are weak on policy. Some are weak on performance. Some are weak on presentation. But she was bad on all of those things.
There’s a new book out that’s gives us a great example of the problems with Harris.
According to an excerpt, Harris’ campaign insisted that she could only be seated in chairs that “met certain specifications”:
An excerpt from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, published in The Hill, detailed the strict seating arrangements.
“Her team required that she be provided a chair that met certain specifications: ‘Leg height no less than 15 inches; floor to top of seat height no less than 18.9 inches; arms on chairs may not be very high, arms must fall at a natural height; chairs must be firm,” according to the book excerpt.
Okay, so what prompted this craziness?
Apparently, it was the interview she and her running mate Tim Walz did with CNN’s Dana Bash in August. The way they were seated made him look bigger; she looked small in comparison, so the optics were bad. Her team made sure that did not happen again.
“Sitting next to Walz in a chair that seemed to place her below him and heaping praise on Biden’s record, Harris did not look like a candidate seeking the highest office in the land,” the excerpt read. “The whole scene reinforced the criticism that the vice president was either incapable, or afraid, of answering tough questions on her own.”
Sorry, but that’s dumb. Yes, he did look better in that interview than she did. That seems like a lousy excuse for doing badly in the interview.

But the big issue was that Harris had been avoiding interviews. Then people wondered if she needed Walz there to help, as her “emotional support Governor.” When she did speak, she didn’t give real answers; she’d talk in a word salad. Finally, she didn’t offer actual solutions to any of the issues. She just resorted to the failed tactic of attacking President Donald Trump. Plus she didn’t separate herself from the failed Biden-Harris administration, of which she was a part.
She concentrated on silly optics like that, but she wasn’t focused on solutions or results. Imagine if the Left actually devoted themselves to reality. That’s a general Democrat failing, but it’s a bad trait for someone who wants to be the leader of the free world. It was one more thing, along with everything else, that shows how bad she was–and how much Americans dodged a bullet by her losing.
It wasn’t the chairs and, unfortunately for her, Kamala wasn’t going to find a chair that made her come across as smarter or more likable.
ANOTHER “PATHTIC EXCUSE” FOR HER FAILURES! AS WITH USING “RACISM” AS AN EXCUSE, BLAME IT IN THE “CHAIR” IS TAKING CENTER STAHE.
