The Issue: Kamala Harris changing her stance on key issues like the border to sound more like Trump.
Republicans, beware: Vice President Kamala Harris trying to sound like former President Donald Trump is eerily familiar to those who remember how former President Bill Clinton stole welfare reform right out from under the Republicans’ noses (“Kam’s ‘steal’ wall plan,” Aug. 28)
Clinton took all the credit for what was originally a Republican initiative.
Now, Harris and the Democrats are using Clinton’s playbook to retain power and cover up their failed four years in office.

It appears Harris can’t make up her mind.
Whether it’s the border, electric cars, the economy, the Middle East or health insurance, she has no firm convictions.
But there are no do-overs in the White House, so voters should consider this when casting their vote.

It’s amazing how this woman got to where she is.
She has yet to lay out a plan for how she will run the country other than by taking Trump’s ideas.
She does this while continuing to hide from the media, probably because they haven’t received the softball questions from her campaign yet.
She is the least serious politician we have ever seen — which should scare the living daylights out of every American.

Now Harris says she supports the border wall.
So when will the mainstream media get the courage to ask why Harris decided to flip-flop on this and other important MAGA positions she so adamantly opposed not too long ago?
After all, if the MAGA agenda is so popular with voters, they might as well vote for Trump, who they know won’t betray them by plagiarizing Harris’ agenda.
Harris is proving how desperate she truly is, and it’s an ominous sign that she’s not capable of formulating her own policies.
How could she possibly be qualified to be president?

If you didn’t already know that Harris is just another in a long line of typical politicians, her flip-flopping on so many issues is proof.
Almost all politicians skew their public statements to their audiences, while their true intentions remain well-kept secrets.
Think I’m lying?
Refer to a famous quote by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat no less: “In politics, nothing happens by accident.”

There’s no time like the present.
If Harris is serious about closing our borders, building a wall, and getting immigration under control — as our so-called “border czar” — why not start right now?

Harris’ revised positions on the border, fracking and energy is proof that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
This bodes well for the Trump campaign, despite the polls.
There is one position, however, Harris can’t escape: her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as VP candidate — the most far-left nominee in major-party history — could be an albatross around her neck.
Then again, birds of a feather flock together.

So now Harris is a border hawk.
What could possibly account for this flip-flop?
Was it the 8 million-plus illegals who have flooded the country?
Could it have been Democratic city budgets crushed by the wave of illegal migration?
Was it the fentanyl-poisoning crisis or the numerous victims of migrant violence?
Probably not.
Her newfound interest in a border wall is purely a result of the polls, nothing more.
Does anyone really believe that, if elected, she won’t revert to her previous open-border policy?

Harris wants to finish the border wall?
Wasn’t it the Harris-Biden administration that sold off border-wall parts for a loss of millions of dollars?
