'That's It?': The Most Stunning Reveal of the Harris Interview
Hot Air ^ | 30 Aug 2024 | Ed Mirrissey

Posted on 08/30/2024 1:11:28 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Talk about a lot of build-up for almost no reason whatsoever! But that doesn't mean that last night's CNN fluffery didn't reveal something key to this election.

...

Republicans may not like all of Trump's policy impulses, and may like some of his other impulses even less. But what they like about Trump is that he fights. It may get him into trouble, like at the NABJ for a mild example, and it creates message discipline issues that become opportunity costs. But he fights, and for Republicans and other voters who are tired of getting steamrolled by the Left, that's enough.

Harris doesn't fight. It's not in her. Harris retreats when challenged and avoids confrontation when possible. She lacks a fighting instinct, and her entire campaign thus far demonstrates it.

That explains the "my values haven't changed" dodge that Harris debuted last night. Maybe they really haven't, but she's changing her policy positions because she won't fight for them. She won't explain her policy shifts because she won't fight for them. Harris has refused to engage the media because she won't fight with them. Harris has yet to publish her agenda or an Issues page on her campaign website because she won't fight for them.

Harris expects to be elected on the basis of her identity and her "joy." And that's all she's prepared to engage on. What does that say about what kind of president she will make -- especially on foreign policy? If she won't fight for herself and her "values," why would anyone expect her to fight for America and its interests?

And that's it. That's the election in a nutshell. We have one candidate who won't fight, and another candidate whose first instincts are to run to a fight. It makes me wonder whether Harris and her campaign really plan to show up for the debate on September 10. If they do, they'd better find a fighting spirit, or it may turn out worse for Harris than the previous debate turned out for Joe Biden.

I looked everywhere....I found no joy from Biden and Kamala for the last 3 and a half years....just frustration.

Her values may not have changed, but they surely didn’t work.

Harris’s values haven’t changed, hence her policy decisions haven’t.

When she says they have, she’s lying.

Democrats know what the American people want. They just don’t care but will promise them the Moon if it will get them votes.

“Strength through Joy”

Upon much thought, Willie Brown agrees in the extreme. “Hell, she was in her thirties and then hot, and I was in my early seventies.” I had much Joy.

Harris is NOT changing her policy positions. She is lying!!!

She will continue to try and get her vision passed and will just do what Obama did. Say that she has evolved.

But she has not changed any of her positions.

Of course her values haven’t changed. She has neither values or morals.

I’m gonna watch her at the debate. She will crater during the 90 minute debate without Waltz by her side.

Great analysis. I couldn’t agree more. We’ll see if she shows up at the debate.
