WHO SAYS MINIMUM WAGE JOBS CAN’T LEAD TO RAPID CAREER ADVANCEMENT?

Like all she had to do was go to McDonald's and do the fries. Instead she went on the view and it actually ended her campaign.

Still hard to believe that last year, Biden was jettisoned by his party because he was too infirm to handle basic retail politics, only to be replaced by a candidate who couldn’t manage them herself.

As I wrote in November, the media were furious in October of 2024 that Trump was doing Retail Politics 101, because it simultaneously undermined all of their efforts to portray him as Orange Hitler, and because it demonstrated that Kamala couldn’t or wouldn’t do these sorts of basic campaign stunts. Biden never thought he’d get called on his plagiarism by the media in the 1980s, and curiously, in the 21st century, Kamala never thought anyone would call her on inventing a job at McDonald’s to grab some populist street cred, as the Washington Free Beacon did in August of 2024. Even so, it’s a safe bet that numerous local Mickey D owners, particularly in California, would have been thrilled to have her spend an hour or two posing at making fries. That she couldn’t be bothered to do so speaks volumes about her overall failure as a presidential candidate.
