Noonan: Harris is the Artless Dodger

I'm not impressed by Noonan, either...but, then, she's not running for President...
   Harris is, IMO, just terrible. The whole Harris phenomenon is terrible. First: the witless "vibes"-based campaign...that whole "brat" nonsense, whatever the hell that was, was perhaps the cringiest thing I've ever seen in American politics...including HRC's hot sauce pandering. (To be clear: the cringiest--not the worst.) Then we get no policies and no interviews for weeks (months?). Then when she does give interviews, they're not just friendly, but obsequious...and she still responds to most question with word salad. If I hear her I was born a poor black child shtick one more time I'm going to lose it. (And, of course, her mother was a Stanford research scientist and her dad was a Stanford economist. If that's middle class, it's upper middle class. And 'middle class' is used to mean everything from blue collar to basically rich.)
   And, of course: she was the leftmost Senator. Now she's pretending to be a centrist. No one with more than two brain cells to rub together can possibly fall for that. Biden always really was roughly a centrist, and he mostly governed as a solid progressive. Replace him with Harris and...well...you see where I'm going with this.
   So, anyway, Nooners is basically right: 
   Harris is an empty suit.
   And Trump is awful.
   But he was plausibly a B+ President...up until the end.
   Much as I wish he'd just go away, there's no contest, IMO, if we ask this question: do we want four more Trump years or four more Biden years?
   It's no accident that Harris is hesitant to state her policies, and incompetent to talk about the faux policies she largely cribbed from Biden's website. We know what her real policies are: narrower free speech protections, gun confiscation, more transing of children, pseudo-sex-change surgery for illegal alien criminals and detainees, more racialist politics, more government interference in the economy. And probably more taxes...and more taxes wasted on climate hysteria. And more Sotomayors and KBJ's on SCOTUS.
   Trump and Harris.
   Basically Scylla and Charybdis.
