So, Anthony Scaramucci appeared on TV again, huh? For those of you who don’t remember, Anthony Scaramucci is that Wall Street smoothie who worked a grand total of eleven days in the Trump administration. That’s just long enough to get one of those “World’s Best Boss” mugs and discover how much he really hates everyone in the office. It’s shorter than the lifespan of a mayfly, or the time it takes order a Starbucks Frappuccino!

Anyway, Scaramucci pops up on TV predicting that Kamala Harris is going to win the next election. I didn’t even know we were taking career advice from the political equivalent of a cameo on The Real Housewives now.

Kamala Harris, really?

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got nothing against Kamala Harris. She’s smart, tough, and shows up to work every day, which already makes her more qualified than most of the people we’ve seen working for the past decade. She’s like a multitasking superhero: she can lead the country, prosecute criminals, and maintain a composure better than a yoga instructor on Valium.

But let’s take a step back and consider the state of our political system. Predicting that anyone can just waltz into that office and fix things is like saying I’ll start running marathons. Sure, it could happen, but let’s be real—I won’t make it halfway to the fridge without needing a nap!

Scaramucci Predicting the Future?

What’s next? Is my dentist gonna predict which stock to buy? It’s as if someone walked into a Vegas casino, lost everything on blackjack, and then started lecturing the dealers on strategy. Scaramucci is giving an opinion on who’s going to be our next President. The guy couldn’t even secure a spot at a kid’s birthday party without a clown pulling rank on him.

Maybe he’s right; maybe he’s wrong. But based on his record, I’d say he has about as much chance of being right as I have of becoming the Queen of England.

What’s the Deal with Predictions Anyway?

Who needs predictions? Look at any time someone tried to foresee an election outcome. Remember that one time when Dewey defeated Truman? Yeah, me neither. Or how about the polls that suggested we’d all be partying with President Hillary Clinton?

At least in sports betting, you can tell the difference between good bets and ludicrous ones. But in politics, things get weirder than a David Lynch movie. You want me to believe in a political Nostradamus who once tanked his shot at glory quicker than a helium balloon in a cactus garden?

The Reality Show that is Politics

Politics nowadays is like binge-watching a reality show that you can’t turn off, featuring characters you wouldn’t trust to park your car. But here we queue up every day with our popcorn, simply because the stakes are too dang high. And in this political circus, Kamala Harris might just be the lion tamer we never knew we needed.

Yet we’re still arguing over whether she’s “electable” or not, as if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson isn’t sitting in his villa contemplating a 2024 run.

The Winning Strategy

Let’s be honest, Harris winning would require the opposite of everything we’ve seen so far. It would need a functioning democracy, an electorate that values substance over flash, and a country not engaging in a contest to see who can shout the loudest on Twitter. We need a miracle, something that’s less likely than Kanye West dropping his presidential ambitions for a peaceful life in Wisconsin raising llamas.

Our Political Future

So here we’ve got Scaramucci, the human weather vane, hinting that Kamala Harris might be our next President. He might as well have said, “Expect thunderstorms with a chance of flying pigs.” Hope springs eternal, they say. Well, it certainly springs whenever someone with the memory of a goldfish gets a microphone.

Maybe Kamala will surprise us all. Maybe she’ll stitch together this never-ending circus into something resembling sanity. Or maybe we’ll keep lurching from crisis to crisis until some crazy historian writes a book about how the world got fixated on reality-TV-style governance. Either way, I’d stock up on popcorn because if there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that the show must go on.
