Democrat instant presidential candidate Kamala Harris has engaged as her campaign consultant, California’s powerhouse Bearstar Strategies that often is described as “cunning” in their use deep opposition research” and sensitivity to culture-war issues. Harris is already triangulating away from her Marxist past to go attack dog on Trump.
Bearstar Strategies that refers to itself as “California’s Spin Doctors” managed Vice President Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Governor Jerry Brown, US Senator Alex Padilla, and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra.
Bearstar in 2020 crafted the Harris cover story for the Democrat Primaries that she grew up in a lower working class black family, trying rise above white racism. But the real story is she grew up as the daughter of “renowned black Marxist economist Donald Harris who immigrated Jamaica and taught graduate economics at Stanford University, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory cancer researcher Shyamala Gopalan who immigrated from a Brahmin family in India. Harris’ elitist PhD parents met and married at UC Berkeley graduate school during the 1960s “Free Speech Movement” protests.
Bearstar positioned Senator Kamala Harris in the 2020 Democrat presidential primaries as the extreme leftist/Marxist that would end all abortion restrictions; abolish ICE; ban imported assault rifles; defund police; let violent felons and rapists vote, ban fracking and offshore drilling; ban private health insurance; make illegal aliens eligible for Medicaid; and reinstate DACA. The strategy got her the VP slot on the Biden ticket.
Vice President Harris championed the ‘Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government’ to provide racial ‘equity’ and ‘equality' as the Biden Administration’s first initiative
Bearstar is furiously scrubbing Harris’ public record to recast Vice President Kamala Harris as a moderate Democrat who is willing to prosecute the case against Donald Trump as a criminal and a threat to society.
Harris in her first address as the Democrat nominee claimed that as a prosecutor:
“I took on perpetrators of all kinds — predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain,” she said. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type.”
Those 36 Bearstar words effectively deflect away from Harris’ abysmal record; tells women that Trump is a dangerous convicted sexual predator; tells young people that Trump is a dangerous con man; and tells social activists that she can beat Trump.
ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday found that in the week since Biden dropped out: 43 percent of Americans say they now have a favorable view of Harris — an 8 percent jump from last week’s 35 percent; and 42 percent of Americans now say they have an unfavorable view of Harris — a 4 point drop from last week’s 46 percent unfavorability.
Trump’s favorability rating that jumped by 9 percent last week after the assassination attempt from 31 percent to 40 percent last week; has fallen back to a 36 percent favorability and 52 unfavorability.
Given the expectation that Harris’ positive bump from the surprise of Biden dropping out of the race will begin to wear off over the next week, it looks like Trump is ahead in the race for the presidency by about 2 percent. That is the same lead Trump had over Biden on June 27th just before the Biden’s geriatric debate performance.
The real question is how the Trump team counters the Bearstar attack dog strategy over the next 96 days. If Trump goes full attack dog, you might want to stock up on popcorn for the coming political cage fight.
