The Kansas City star shares the admittedly emotional case for Vice President Kamala Harris

We admire Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist KC’s courage in being willing to admit that facts don’t matter much in a political debate.

We think she’s missing the point that people have certain “feelings” about the economy that are far more important than all the sketchy numbers the current administration is putting out.

However, here is the essence of another argument in favor of Veep. . .

A conservative friend of mine thinks Donald Trump will win because “there are more crazy people than sad people.” Another friend who works on the left reminded me of one of my least favorite facts: facts, no matter how well documented, do not change votes. Scientific research into why we vote the way we do shows how true this is.

James Carville would be even richer if he got the remainder every time someone quoted him as saying that “it’s the economy, fool.” But in fact, these are emotions, stupidity.

Even when we say and fully believe that we only vote for politics, right? The fact that the parties have switched places on issues of national security, respect for institutions, and support for our intelligence community makes me suspect the opposite. And I feel so strongly that we need a president who believes in democracy, the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power that I cannot separate politics from passion when it comes to January 6th and supporting rather than “destroying” the United States. Constitution.
