We the people don't know much about history, as the song goes.  Especially where Vice President Harris fits into it. It's not our fault.  Kamala won't say how she will solve the massive problems Joe Biden created or even what her vision for the country actually is.

She has promoted "joy."  Nice.  Also, she says her "values" haven't changed.  But what,  exactly,  are those?  I don't know, and neither do you.

If you believe in reincarnation, Kamala Harris might be a new version of Warren Harding, who was elected president in 1920.  As I write in my new book "Confronting the Presidents," Harding was a lightweight Senator from Ohio who stunningly secured the Republican nomination for President.

Here's my description from the book: "Warren Harding is not in the forefront.  His time in the Senate has been lackluster, a series of missed votes and general laziness.  He has written hundreds of passionate letters to his mistress on Senate stationery."

But a big-shot Republican guy named Harry Daugherty engineers secret deals with crooked businessmen, allowing Warren to be the candidate.  Daugherty's thinking: Harding is easy to manipulate; he will do what he's told by his "handlers," which was true.

Harding barely campaigns, and voters know little about him.  But he won big because, after eight years, the country was fed up with Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic Party.

One footnote about Warren.  During the 1920 campaign, his mistress, 23-year-old Nan Britton, actually gives birth to Harding's out-of-wedlock child.  The press doesn't mention it. 

Anyway, Kamala Harris is certainly not in a league with the amazingly corrupt Harding.  However, similarities are present because Ms. Harris is secretive and unavailable to answer serious questions. It's like she has ghosted the entire country.

In addition, the Vice President is utterly dependent on "advisors" who dictate what she will say and do, just like President Biden is.

Nevertheless, Kamala is effectively competing with the overexposed Donald Trump, a man who takes on all questions.

Of course, that can be exhausting.

Cliche alert: the rubber meets the road on Tuesday, but I do not expect any revelations from Ms. Harris. Her evasive playbook is working so far and that nefarious strategy propelled the hapless Joe Biden into the White House in 2020.

But there is a counter-strategy and that is Donald Trump seizing the moment on Tuesday evening to "muse" about things he would like Kamala to address.  Not questions from Trump, just statements. Such as, "As an American I'm confused how the 1.4 inflation rate I left the country turned into 9 percent under Biden-Harris. It would be great if my opponent could explain that."

Of course, Ms. Harris can't explain it. 

That would be quite a moment for Donald Trump.

It would also be great for the country if this debate actually meant something. But the heavy odds are against that.

As Kamala and Warren H. well know.
