If I’m the lead democrat speechwriter, here is the speech I write for Harris. I started writing policy but it turned into a speech.
Keep in mind I can argue on behalf of pretty much anything.
I will continue to use excess capacity to provide weapons, intelligence and sat imagery to kill invading Russians and help the Ukrainians to force Putin from their homeland and to the bargaining table. (Like Reagan would have done). I will continue to pay American workers to build these complex weapon systems that no one else in the world can build.
Will fill important government positions with capable people who can be confirmed unlike my predecessor who had (hundreds?) of open positions during his entire term. In a time of instability in the world it is important to fill positions so the work required to do the work of the government gets done. Not everyone likes the government. I will see to it that the government does the work of and for the people. I want to help citizens trust their government again.
I’m going to draw on my time as a prosecutor (don’t laugh here) to firm up the criminal justice system and make sure that criminals are brought to justice and that defendants, no matter who they are, are treated fairly. Part of this plan is not only to hire more prosecutors but hire more public defenders so that cases are properly assessed and prosecuted and defended. This will result in true justice for both the accused and the victims of crime.
I’m going to hire and train more Treasury and Secret Service agents. While I don’t agree with my opponent, what happened to him with the assassination attempt must never happen again. Never have we faced more threats from the mentally unstable within our own country but the external threats from Iran proxies and ISIS-K have never loomed larger
The second prong of hiring treasury and IRS agents has to do with investigating money laundering. Many won’t realize that IRS and Secret Service agents are uniquely positioned and able to investigate drug cartel money laundering and the large scale credit card/gift card schemes that plague our retailers. These offenses push prices up for our law abiding citand the money stolen from our citizens finances not only extravagant lifestyles for criminals but terror and criminal enterprise throughout the world. Particular emphasis will be placed on foreign nationals involved in providing fentanyl pre-cursors to Mexican cartels.
I will secure the border. There is nothing unethical about a nation securing their border. Yet I will find a way to properly vet immigrants who want to pursue a dream of coming to America for a better life. These new Americans will make our country stronger and more prosperous for all of us. We have a serious labor shortage here and I will find a way to do this better than any of my predecessors including many fellow Democrats.
Last- I recognize that the administration I have been a part of has failed the people by allowing an influx of immigrants who may not have been allowed to enter our country. I will look to a former president for guidance on this matter. I will follow Barack Obama’s lead. No one deported more convicted felons than our friend Obama. I will follow his lead. While I refuse to paint all immigrants with the wide brush of criminality, if you are not a citizen and you commit crimes in the United States, you will be deported. (Note: please have Kamala cackle like a madwoman at this point)
