The Debates: Kamala Harris vs Mike Pence and the Need for Mental Fitness

Conversations around the upcoming debates often revolve around the mental fitness of two key figures: Kamala Harris and Mike Pence. The fitness and competence of a president are paramount in today's world, particularly when it comes to decision-making and the handling of sensitive international relations. This article delves into the critical role mental fitness plays and why we should demand more from our political leaders.

Measuring Mental Fitness in Politics

Mental fitness can be measured in various ways. In Kamala Harris, one often looks at her ability to handle the scrutiny and pressure of debate and the challenges posed by an opponent like Donald Trump. For instance, a softball interview by the mainstream media shows how she struggles when presented with unchallenged questions. Unless guided, her performance tends to be lackluster, a situation that is bound to worsen as her poll numbers continue to drop. This begs the question: should we have seen tougher questioning from both sides?

The Case for Tougher Questioning

During the debates, both Kamala Harris and Mike Pence should have been pushed harder on critical issues such as Donald Trump’s mental fitness and his allegiance to Putin. Trump's fitness to lead and his actions, which have led to him being deemed "unfit" to stand trial, present a significant challenge. The fact that Trump is considered competent to lead the most powerful country contradicts the understanding of his mental and legal fitness. The media should demand more accountability and clarity in these matters.

The Need for Insight and Accountability

Some politicians question whether Kamala Harris truly understands the gravity of these issues. Her support for the Duce Report, which criticized Biden's mental state, suggests a lack of clarity or insight into important matters. With such a report, Kamala should have sought more than just consistent support. Believing that someone is incompetent to stand trial is a weighty accusation that deserves a thorough investigation. It raises concerns about her judgment and ability to lead when faced with complex and sensitive issues.

In the broader context, the question of mental fitness also extends to Mike Pence. He should have been made to explain his interactions with Trump and the impact of Trump’s actions on both domestic and international relations. Questions about the continuity of the US's position on key issues like democracy and human rights are crucial.

Addressing Intellectual Dishonesty and Corruption

The persistent notion that Trump remains a relevant figure in American politics, despite clear evidence to the contrary, highlights the need for deeper scrutiny. It's not merely about the past actions of Trump but also about how his current and potential future actions might affect the United States. The media and the electorate have a responsibility to keep leaders accountable and to demand more than platitudes and evasive answers.

Kamala Harris, with her background in law and public service, should have asked more probing questions about Trump's mental fitness and his allegiance to figures like Putin. The debate should have delved deeper into these issues, including discussions about figures from popular culture (like Hannibal Lecter) and hypothetical scenarios (such as getting eaten by a shark) to highlight the importance of these topics in real-world political discourse.

In conclusion, the upcoming debates should be rigorous and transparent, pushing both Kamala Harris and Mike Pence to confront the critical issues at hand. The fitness and integrity of our leaders are not only crucial for their role but also for the future of our nation and its people.
