I didn’t see it that way when I watched the interview. As far as I could tell, she was unscripted, and to my eye and ear, genuine. The one place I did home in on the squishiness was when she expanded on 2nd Amendment rights, and while she spoke the words about self defense and defense from a tyrannical government as well as many conservatives, she used the catchphrase “middle ground” which always makes my guard go up. But it is a far cry from where she was. I think she has had time outside the Leftist Fever Swamp that she was part of (particularly in her role as Vice Chair of the DNC) to observe from more of a distance.
But I understand others don’t see it that way. Heck, I often don’t. But I had to face things I said about her that I felt were not factual after I watched it. Personally, I think we need to find a way to welcome those people in, and we traditionally have done that, IMO.
I find it fascinating when Lefties go to a Trump rally with an open mind (yes, it is like the old “an Irishman walks out of a bar” joke, where it really does happen sometimes...) and they are surprised at how non-blood-dripping-fangs and congenial conservatives are (unless they are being attacked, of course.
I have also found the exercise of questioning someone who professes to vote Democrat interesting as well, because often, after you ask them pointed questions you might say “Why on earth are you voting Democrat? You don’t sound like one.)
I have seen that, too...:)

She *has* shifted from where she was, and she’s not a crazy. She wasn’t, even before.
I’m not saying she shouldn’t be welcomed...just not suitable for a VP - even more so that Trump is an older guy with all the health risks that entails.
As for the videos of lefties going to a Trump rally, some of them are quite funny - even where they go in openly trying to be confrontational and are met with friendliness, calm understanding, and discussion.
