As parties go, this one was glitzy, slick, star-studded and electric.

It was also terrifying.

By the time Kamala Harris took the stage at the DNC on Thursday evening, we had been told by the Obamas, Oprah, the Clintons, Hollywood and Harris herself that there is no one better to be the next American president, because…

After a week of this, I still can't tell you. After a week of the mainstream media insisting the same, I'm at a loss.

I doubt I'm alone.

We just witnessed not so much a convention as a coronation. This entire production, created to sell a product named Kamala, was utterly Orwellian.

Had you awoken from a coma, or alighted from Mars, you'd have no idea that Harris, just months ago, was considered the Democratic party's biggest liability: Unserious, unprepared, unlikable.

Nancy Pelosi, historically, has not been a fan. Speaking to Anderson Cooper on CNN in September last year, Joe Biden still the nominee, Pelosi was characteristically slippery.

Cooper: 'Is Vice President Kamala Harris the best running mate for this president?'

Pelosi: 'He thinks so. And that's what matters.'

Cooper: 'But do you think she's the best running mate, though?'

Pelosi: 'She's the Vice President of the United States.'

Ouch.

Harris's mentor and one-time lover, the nonagenarian former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, recently told Politico that she suffers from 'Hillary syndrome' — that 'people don't like her'.

And, of course, there's that unforgettable Washington Post exposé from December 2021, not quite a year into Harris's tenure as Vice President, in which multiple ex-staffers alleged she was a cruel boss who never buckled down, or read her briefing notes, or took responsibility for her own lack of preparedness.
