Kamala Harris decided to try her hand at trolling former President Donald Trump at the Alabama-Georgia game on Saturday, but as expected, it didn’t go as planned. Instead of landing a blow, it backfired spectacularly, showing just how desperate she is for attention. Her campaign cooked up the idea of having a small plane fly over Bryant-Denny Stadium with a banner reading, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.”
Only problem? The banner was a no-show. According to the New York Times, the Harris campaign blamed the failure on “weather.” Sure, because a little wind or rain suddenly stops a campaign plane. Typical Kamala—lots of talk, no follow-through. It was another failed stunt to add to her long list of non-accomplishments.
Her campaign didn’t stop at the plane fiasco. They ran a TV ad claiming, “Winners never back down from a challenge,” with a narrator boasting that real champions show up anytime, anyplace. Except, there’s one little issue: Trump already showed up to two debates. He demolished Joe Biden during a CNN debate so thoroughly that Biden’s cognitive decline became crystal clear for all to see. The Democrats quickly went into damage control mode and propped up Harris instead. Meanwhile, Trump has no need for a third debate. He even offered one to Harris on Fox, and guess what? She declined. So much for “any time, any place.” Apparently, “any place” only applies if it’s a network with friendly moderators.
What Harris doesn’t seem to get is that by running this little charade, she only made herself look ridiculous. It’s like she was trying to play the big game, but instead, fumbled before kickoff. Maybe the banner wasn’t big enough to fit one of her trademark word salads on it, but either way, it’s pretty clear that playing these games isn’t what winning campaigns do.
And here’s the real kicker: Harris doesn’t understand the people she’s trying to appeal to—much like she doesn’t understand most Americans. Meanwhile, Trump was introduced at the game to roaring cheers and chants of “USA, USA!” He was having a great time tossing out chicken tenders and enjoying the enthusiasm of a crowd that loved every second of it. Harris? Nowhere to be found, and certainly not receiving the kind of embrace Trump did.
So, instead of undermining Trump, Harris ended up drawing more attention to her own failures and Trump’s continued popularity. Maybe Trump should consider hiring her campaign team—after all, they seem to be doing a better job helping him than her.
