If Joe Biden was such a success as president why does Kamala Harris want nothing to do with his administration?

[exitseven]

She was always the last one to leave the room whenever Joe had to make a big decision. They were really more like Co-presidents. Now she doesn't want to admit she was the vice president during the most successful presidency in history. President Biden accomplished more in 3 years than most presidents did during 8 years. Why is Kamala not proud to be associated with that kind of greatness?

Look at all the prices that are lower now than they were 4 years ago.

[Wallythewalrus2]

I think it would be enlightening, if these left wing pukes would read the headlines about VP Harris from just a year ago! Of course, that was when uncle Joe's press secretary and the media told us, uncle Joe was "sharper than ever and running circles around his staff", while they were literally taking applications to replace Kamala, because Uncle Joe couldn't win with her. Why? Because she had a 36% approval rating! The least popular VP in history! Fast forward a year, now the same media voices that wanted her off the ticket, are trying to tell us how they knew uncle Joe needed to step down, to pursue his singing career or something, and suddenly, Kamala is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Who would actually believe this bullshit?

[OlderAndWiser]

If she has such great ideas now, why didn't she try to implement them in the past 3½ years? Why hasn't she started the procedure to invoke the 25th Amendment?

[Caroline91]

Because she is the Vice President, not the President.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Caroline91 Not a valid excuse. It is the Biden-Harris Administration and she can contribute as much as she wants.

[Caroline91]

The Vice President’s role is not to implement their ideas unless at the direction of the President. When you speak of involving the 25th Amendment, you are suggesting that she would overthrow the administration if the President she serves with. None of that makes sense or is within the normal functioning of the office of the Vice Presidency.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Caroline91 "The Vice President’s role is not to implement their ideas unless at the direction of the President." The Vice-President's role is to support the President and that includes making suggestions to address urgent matters within the country, especially when they involve the awful economy or national security threats at the border.

"When you speak of involving the 25th Amendment, you are suggesting that she would overthrow the administration if the President she serves with." You say "overthrow" to suggest that it would be an unlawful exercise but it is, in fact, authorized by the Constitution and it is her duty when the President is clearly not capable of performing his duties. She has FAILED her duty.

"None of that makes sense" It makes perfect sense unless you are someone who will defend Harris regardless of what she does or doesn't do. Never Trumpers are just as bad as extreme MAGAs.

"or is within the normal functioning of the office of the Vice Presidency." Yes, it is quite normal for a president and vice-president to collaborate on a daily basis.

[Caroline91]

Absolutely, the Vice President collaborates with the President. What the VP does not do is take precedence over the President.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Caroline91 Yes, and that doesn't prevent her from offering her ideas.

[Caroline91]

Absolutely!

[exitseven]

@Caroline91 She was put in charge of the southern border. She failed miserably. She never even visited the border and talk to the Border patrol to see what they needed to keep out illegal aliens. She went to Guatemala and told everyone not to come. That was her strategy. How did that work out?

[Caroline91]

@exitseven It is a common misconception that she was put "in charge" of the southern border. There’s just one problem, the vice president was never in charge of the border. That job belongs to Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, and to Xavier Becerra, the secretary of health and human services. Harris was given a diplomatic assignment. It has its roots in March 2021, when Biden announced that he would be giving Harris essentially the same assignment he got during his own vice presidency: coordinating diplomatic relationships to address the “root causes” of migration into the United States. Guatemala via Mexico is one of the main sources of illegal immigration to the US. Harris never had any authority in relation to the Border Patrol on any responsibility for any assistance there. Again, this was a diplomatic and fact gathering assignment.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Caroline91 It is not a misconception because that Is what Biden announced in March 2021. apnews.com/general-news-3400f56255e000547d1ca3ce1aa6b8e9

[Caroline91]

Yes, she has been, and still is, in charge of developing and implementing immigration policy which is a long term and very complicated mission. She has never been in charge of enforcement of border crossings. Her mission is a diplomatic one that is to work on the root causes for illegal migration, specifically from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. It is to work with these countries to address the issues in those nations causing people to leave. It is a mission that is by necessity very complicated and a long term goal. Additionally there have been other complications because of a shift in migration patterns coming from countries other than the Americas. www.latimes.com/.../kamala-harris-donald-trump-border-czar-immigration-election-2024 Additionally, a bipartisan bill was in Congress to address many of the issues and because of Trump's insistence, Republicans killed a bill they had originally supported because Trump clearly stated it would help the Democrats in the upcoming elections and he wanted to keep that as a live issue to attack them on. That's been all over the news from many sources and there is plenty of video of Trump himself talking about it. People act as if all of this should have be solved immediately when it is a highly complex problem that will, in fact, take years over multiply administrations to develop and implement a solution through new policies and then border enforcement by the agencies responsible for that.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Caroline91 That is rhetoric that only leftists believe. Of course, the MSM is trying to walk back their portrayal of Harris as the Border Czar, because that highlights her failings. This only demonstrates that the MSM is a communications arm of the DNC.

[exitseven]

@Caroline91 there is plenty of video that would disagree with you. The truth is that she had no clue what to do even though President Trump practically left a How To video on You Tube on how to secure the border.

[Caroline91]

@exitseven @OlderAndWiser It appears we are not goung to come to a meeting of minds on this, so I am just going to say to both of you that I truly appreciate your polite approach to a discussion with drastically differing opinions and have great respect for each of you.

[exitseven]

@Caroline91 You seem okay to me, too/

[Caroline91]

@exitseven Thank you 😊

[dustybiker2]

This is weak and you know it. You can do better. You're only making her more appealing showing how little you have on her. Trump embarrasses this country left, right up and down and all the way around.
I dislike them both but she appears better here... always does.

[exitseven]

she was a complete failure as vice president and now wants to pretend that none of it ever happened. If we vote for her , suddenly she will close the border, bring down inflation and be tough on crime. I would not believe it. Trump says what he will do and why he thinks it is a good policy. He has done it before and had good results.

[Guacamole409]

She's a lying piece of shit.

[gorydetails]

I love the prescription drug nonsense. So the pharma companies make a deal to lower cost on some drugs in exchange for forcing people to take their clot shots that the taxpayers paid for. Remember how the shots had to be treated with utmost care - refrigeration, short shelf life? How many billions were wasted (aside from all of it being a waste).

[Red_Arrow]

I want to know how you know that she was always the last to leave the room. Working in the White House with all the security you would not be allowed in. And she did not tell you, because as you said, she refused to talk with you. And she wanted a lot to do with his administration, like lowering costs for the things shown in the graphic. She is proud to have worked with Joe Biden.

[exitseven]

she has told the press on several occasions. Other WH insiders have said so as well.

[Red_Arrow]

Must be that FAUX news again. I have not seen anything on what time she would leave the room. But if true in must prove that she did NOT want to do with his administration as you claim.

[Sabretooth]

real or not, ''the last to leave'' doesn't really support the claim...

[Nik1hil]

haha, right he was a success. " If Biden was a success but Kamala Harris wants nothing to do with his administration." If Exactly like, saying," Lizzo is beautiful, But no woman will accept a compliment that 'You are as pretty as Lizzo'.

[normalice]

Kamala's platform is the same one drafted before Biden stepped down. Indeed, Biden's name is still in it so you're a weird liar 🙃

[AviatorTom]

She did very little during Biden's administration, and the DEM strategizers want everyone to know that Kamal's Administration will be better.

[nawtee_me]

Because she wants to go farther left than Biden did. She also wants to blame Biden and his administration if she is elected president. That is her answer to her not being a good vice president. Blame Biden….. watch and see if she wins….

[Anonymous]

Given Joe Biden's limited mental capacity, how exactly was Kamala not running the show if she was at all competent as a VP?

[Wise4myage]

She was too busy lying to the media about Joe's mental health, lol.

[Sabretooth]

you mean his speeches? or examples like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfDdfqFfEuk ? or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtuIt6-z00c ?

[Opinion Owner]

@Wise4myage @sabretooth I can't help but wonder given how neither Biden nor Kamala can say or do anything without a teleprompter if either of them are really running anything at all.

[Sabretooth]

They've been able to... Trump, on the other hand can only ramble like a lunatic without one.

[Wise4myage]

@Sabretooth They weren’t lies.

[Sabretooth]

@Wise4myage the evidence shows that those videos were clearly doctored. I was just waiting on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyKM795Mwew

[Opinion Owner]

@Sabretooth he seems quite coherent to me in unscripted interviews and when he goes off the cuff. he does like all presidents on campaign keep bring up his talking points but that is rather normal.

[Sabretooth]

have you ever really thought about what he's saying?

[Opinion Owner]

@Sabretooth Yes and I agree with much of it. There are something I don't agree with, a lot of it is just stories and anecdotes consistent with his style for 9 years now.

[Sabretooth]

so, you agree with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYcflRIn4u8&t=4s ?

[Opinion Owner]

@Sabretooth I agree with what Trump said, which was a very coherent and easily understandable argument.
In case you missed it Trump was talking about cow's on the account of their methane emission being a target of AOC's "green new deal".

The guy running that show is a party prick so i don't agree with him.

[Sabretooth]

so, there's nothing that can change your mind. his incitement of violence, his hatred, his insane and often incoherent speeches. you're cool with all that, huh? you're cool with him hanging around with pedophiles and bragging inspecting teen girls that are changing. and incase YOU missed it, he also said that dems wanted to kill us. to the rest of us, he's a maniac.

[Opinion Owner]

@Sabretooth I watched a lot of trump speeches and seen what he has actually done in office.

I don't see any real evidence of your claims, that he is has incited of violence, really is hateful, insane, or incoherent. In fact the evidence is really quite overwhelming that this is not the case.

If Trump wanted violence he would have it instead he very clearly wanted peaceful and legal means as he explicitly says.
If Trump was really hatefully he would have indicted Hillary as Biden indicted Trump.
If Trump really was insane he would not have been effective nor would his polices make sense to his followers and they do.
If Trump was incoherent I would not be able to understand what he says and I like just about everyone else can easily do so.

I don't know where you get the idea that theses things are true about Trump but clearly you didn't fact check them yourself by simply watching Trump speak.

[Sabretooth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIs2L2nUL-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4hHOjrbQ6w he was not effective. he left office thousands. dead, 8 trillion in debt and billions of jobs lost... way before the pandemic:https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=HHv_qYcgNT8 . it would make perfect sense to cult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAVeia6FVbw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz0C_9ao8R8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGTJy1Ij4Qk and on and on and on.

[Sabretooth]

@Wise4myage this says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNo4_dr9kDY

[DrPepper12]

I've Deen no evidence that she's distancing herself from joe other than Israel policy

[RedInnocent69]

That’s nonsense. Being a number two is difficult. You have to run on your administration’s record, but also have your own agenda.

[BLP11520]

She did nothing at the border, voting for her will only make things worse.

[Sabretooth]

Trump killed the border deal. that argument doesn't mean shit.

[OtterMan68]

where is she doing this?

[msc545]

Ask her, not us.

[exitseven]

she refused to talk to me. President Trump however was happy to answer my questions.

[Red_Arrow]

Ex-President Trump was happy to answer your questions because he always lies so he doesn't not have to think hard about it.

[Sabretooth]

like he did with that biker?

[Dongie]

Surly thou jest.
