“Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party's prodigious fundraising operation raised more than $1 billion in her loss to Donald Trump, but the vice president is still pushing donors for more money after the election.”
See, most people who live in fantasy land, you know, the place where all things simple minded and naive reside, they have no idea about how the “big game” goes. In fact, they have no idea about how “any” of the games go, and that’s why the evil doers have has such a free run. It has been easy pickings. I mean, think about it? Think about the amount of revenue that has been generated from politics?
What most don’t comprehend is that public school, television, religion, social media and most importantly Hollywood, has altered peoples perceptions of what crime, criminal behavior, corruption, inter alia, crimes against moral turpitude and malfeasance really is. It’s not their fault, they have been inculcated in a whole ‘nother fantasy. The petty thief, the gang bangers, the nickel and dime hustlers, the porch pirate, the corner drug dealers, the fentanyl addicts, all become the “perceptions of serious crimes,” crimes that need the most immediate attention. The “big crime” escapes their view.
Meanwhile a man or woman in a suit or uniform can “peel off” whatever they wish, AND skate away clean. The best type of con, if there is such a thing, is the play whereby the con “beats the mark,” and is still able to “stay in his face.” “Meaning, steal the money and remain undetected.” This is evidenced in embezzlers, and fraudsters, who steal over time, or the “catfisher” who defrauds people via online “romance schemes.” These are long term “cons.”
Another “con” is politics. It is actually the pinnacle of cons. It is the masterclass in cons. Think about it? It has all the elements of a “confidence game,” or con. It involves a “player,” the politician. It involves a “mark or target,” the people. It involves separating the mark from his or her money, the campaign donations. It involves a spiel, a hope, and a promise of bountiful return. It involves many things, all with one goal, to wit, “beating the mark.”
“Harris’ billion-dollar haul likely marks the fastest that a presidential candidate has hit the ten-figure mark, The New York Times reports, noting that while Biden and Trump both raised more than $1 billion with their national parties in 2020, it was done over a much longer period of time. Anonymous sources cited by the Times said Harris raised the billion dollars in less than 80 days. Harris and her combined affiliated groups took in $1 billion during the quarter between July and October alone, which The Times reports also sets a record for the most profitable fundraising quarter ever. The Harris campaign didn’t publicly report how much it took in in September before federal filings were released in October, with the New York Times reporting it didn’t want to “brag” about its big donations and make voters complacent.”

Now, many people who live in fantasy land, they whine and laugh, depending on which side of the fantasy they are on, about how “Harris ran a lousy campaign.” When a person lives in opposition fantasy land then that sounds intelligent and cute. The Harris opposition team, they are happy and gloating. They are full of glee while they await the next chapter in their party inflicted self-destruction, and the Harris losers are already feeling such. After all they gave loot to her campaign, 1.4 Billion worth.
In reality, where I dwell hopefully, Harris ran a brilliant campaign. A master class in “confidence gamesmanship,” I believe. Confidence men and women [politicians], for decades will speak in admiration about this election, behind closed doors of course, and in public they will lament. It’s part of the game. The con. Beat the marks and then pretend you hurt too. That way the mark can be “hit again.”
Harris ran a brilliant campaign, I believe. She knew she wasn’t gonna win. She did not care, “she was doing her thing, and getting the bag.” Let’s be clear, it is not unreasonable to expect someone with 1.4 billion at their disposal to conservatively skim 100 million to 150 million, and if they just got “reckless” 300 million. Yes, there will be questions, inquiries, hearings, news reports and sundry other phony “staging” for public consumption, but no refunds, no ass whippings and nobody going to jail. That is a win.
Think about that? Crack for 300 million, because they are reckless I believe, and then the only thing that happens is that a bunch of “marks” think it was a bad campaign? A bunch of strangers now have a bad opinion, “some bad press” and this is the only result? I hear laughter, the sounds of high fives, and ATM machines rolling. Do you?
“Baby, you ran a brilliant campaign,” I would say, if I was inclined towards wickedness in a regular way. I would also say, “Run it back in 2028. [Do it again in 2028] “Let’s get to it.”
“After a devastating and decisive loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her “options open” about her political future once she leaves office next year. Harris has told her advisors and close allies, “I am staying in the fight,” Politico reports. What that fight looks like, however, remains up in the air. According to Harris’ inner circle, the vice president is considering running for governor of California when Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term-limited time in office comes to an end in 2026. Harris is also not ruling out running for president again in 2028. However, insiders told the news outlet that it is unlikely Harris can do both.”
