Kamala Harris' acceptance speech last night has her campaign churning out massive amounts of propaganda for the media to pick up and run with (and most of them will):
BREAKING: Many pundits are already dubbing Kamala Harris’ speech tonight the greatest acceptance speech in American history. What a moment.

For Harris' speech to "work" for somebody, they need to A) Have forgotten who's been in charge for the last nearly four years, and B) Be completely unaware that what Harris said runs directly counter to her very recent policy statements.
While I was hoping that there aren't a sufficient number of people dumb enough to fall for the lies in November, I ran across something Jen Psaki said that gave me a boost in election optimism:
Jen Psaki states that Kamala Harris is as likeable as Hillary Clinton:

"Magical charismatic quality in person. People say that about Hillary Clinton. Also true."
'Kamala Harris is as likable as Hillary Clinton' is a wonderful slogan, for the Republicans. pic.twitter.com/QyICgEJ082
Harris is as likeable as Hillary Clinton. I really hope so!
HAHAHAHA! Jen Psaki Inserts Foot Into Mouth!

Watch as former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki compares Kamala Harris' likability to Hillary Clinton - says they have a "magical, charismatic quality"...
Do feel the charisma from Harris the same as you did from Clinton, lol?… pic.twitter.com/KJ84YXXrTo
The Harris campaign knows they might have problems similar to Hillary. For example, Team Harris is lying about their candidate no longer supporting banning fracking, while Hillary's overconfidence had her going to states like Pennsylvania and bragging out loud, "you're damn right we're going to put coal companies out of business!"

We'll know Harris is as likeable as Hillary Clinton if soon we see Kamala saying things like this:
Harris is already slightly ahead of where Hillary was just because she's already visited Wisconsin, and as for likeability and policy chops, Kamala's campaign knows they have a problem there as well. If they can Team Harris will try and get their candidate all the way to Election Day without doing any interviews or press conferences.
Hopefully Psaki's right and Kamala is just as likeable as Hillary.
