On Friday, MRC founder and president Brent Bozell went on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Company to discuss Kamala Harris’s Wednesday night CNN Town Hall.
Bozell pointed out that, ironically, Harris’s media blitz appeared to have exacerbated the very problem that it supposedly had been intended to fix — her flagging poll numbers.
“She wanted a basement strategy; she got away with it for a long time,” Bozell began. “[But] ultimately, even her base started saying, ‘enough is enough, you’ve got to come forward and let us know what it is you’re going to do.’”
“Now you know why she had a basement strategy,” he continued. “She’s awful! She’s just awful where it comes to making a presentation. She can’t give a coherent answer.”
He then explained that even if Harris were good at laying out her plans, she’d still be in a difficult situation, because of the irreconcilable differences between what her base wants and what independents want:
Here’s the bigger problem that she has, Stewart. If she does give a coherent answer, if she does give an honest policy prescription, it’s going to backfire. Because if you look at the things she has supported throughout her career, these are the things that the American people don’t support. And she knows it. So she’s kind of stuck. She’s doesn’t know how to articulate a message, but if she did know how to articulate the message, and told the truth, it would backfire.
