Kristen Soltis Anderson: Harris’ Flip-Flopping Strategy Has Been ‘Fascinating’

EXCERPT:

SOLTIS ANDERSON: "You look at people who say they’re voting for Donald Trump, 93 percent of them like Donald Trump. But, like, 7 percent of voters who say, 'I’m voting for him,' really, really don’t want to. But they feel like they have to because they feel like, 'Well, I agree with him on policy. I’m not necessarily looking for someone that I like.' And that’s like well-trod territory, right? That he’s got some voters who are going for him because they just think the alternative is worse. And that’s why I think Kamala Harris’ strategy has been so fascinating over the last two weeks. She’s a blank slate to a lot of voters. They have no idea what she stands for. You’ve got a lot of these clips of really crazy positions she’s taken in the past. And they’re going, 'Is that who she still is?' And she gets up there on that debate stage and she says, 'You know what? I don’t even know 2019, 2020 Kamala Harris. I own a gun. Dick Cheney likes me. Goldman Sachs likes my economic policy. I throw gang leaders in jail.' She’s, like, begging Nikki Haley voters to come vote for her. And she’s going to be able to get away with it because progressives right now hate Donald Trump so much that she has like this unbelievably unlimited long leash to go and say that she is basically an RNC 2004 keynote speaker. 'Please vote for me, Republicans,' and it might work."
