Kamala's Kloser Is The Wrong Message.

Up to this point, I've predicted a Harris landslide given my belief that the polls are way off. But what has me worried, to some extent, is Harris' closure: calling Trump unserious, deranged, unhinged and basically an asshole. All of this is true, but it's the wrong closer in my book. 

I also take issue with Carville's view that the Constitution needs to be her closing message. Nope, nada, nyet.

It has to be the improving economy, but Harris needs to tell us how her future administration would be markedly different from Biden's. Harris's main mistake so far has been her misguided loyalty to Biden. She needs to put serious daylight between her and Biden. Without doing that, it will put her momentum in jeopardy.

Some think by failing to do so that she has blown the election. I disagree. But the margin of victory will be largely based on her coming off as not being Biden or Biden II. Her team must recognize that now and course correct in the last eight days of the campaign.
