What if the Harris Campaign Did Everything Perfectly?
And every Monday Morning Quarterback criticizing them is wrong?
Ok, it’s statistically impossible that every decision made by the Harris campaign was the optimum decision. However, on the flip side, anyone saying they should have done something different - there is no proof that the suggested different approach would have been more successful.
With no way to prove what would have worked better we have every talking head shouting that “if only they had followed my advice…” Easy to claim when there’s no way to disprove it.
And yes, there are some things I think they should have done differently. But I also realize that my suggestions could well have been worse and there’s no way to know. So I don’t spout off about it.
I do think the Harris campaign was damn close to perfect. They had 100 days where they had to get everything spun up. And their first job was to introduce Kamela Harris to the country. They had to go from introduction to closing the sale in 14 weeks. And they came so very very close to success.
Finally, I don’t see much value in figuring out what they should have done differently as we’re so unlikely to have another campaign where the sitting Vice President takes over with only 100 days left. Not a scenario worth investing a lot of time in.
Instead we need to figure out how to compete against MAGA Republicans. Because a majority of the voters likes what they’re selling. Lets figure that out from this just ended campaign.
