Harris's interview left more questions than answers
It was, Dana Bash said on CNN at 9 p.m. Thursday, "a watershed moment." Not just a watershed—"a defining moment." Why the fuss? Kamala Harris was giving an interview.
Think about that. Somehow, in the whirlwind of campaign 2024, we have reached the point where it's news that the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America will answer questions from the press. Until now, if you've been interested in Harris's views, you've had to rely, with one or two exceptions, on the Harris whisperers—the unnamed aides quoted in mainstream media disavowing the vice president's previous positions on health care, energy, the environment, immigration, and crime. The interview mattered because it was the first time we heard the nominee unfiltered, without her teleprompter, no notes.
Harris is elusive. It's been over a month since she locked up the Democratic nomination, and we barely know anything about what she wants to do as president, or where she'd like to lead the country. One virtue of the long campaign is that, over two years, you get a feeling for candidates. You learn a lot—sometimes too much—about them. Democratic strategist David Axelrod once said that presidential campaigns "are like an MRI for the soul." Harris missed her doctor's appointment. She's the first nominee in the modern era not to have won a primary. She's delivered one major policy speech, on price controls, to mixed reviews. Then a Harris whisperer told the New York Times not to worry, the plan won't become law anyway.

Sorta, kinda, mostly.
She looked and sounded SMALL. Obviously horrible soundbites,optics and snapshot. Tampon Tim and Bash-tard tried their best to keep Harris in line.
I learned nothing of her political philosophy from the interview, except in effect her past political philosophy is no more and the media did not question this.
She has been hard left socialist quasi communists for years and has repeatedly reaffirmed such by actions and speeches. Thus was not a candidate for President of the United States then. I prefer to believe what she said in the past as to her lies today.
PS
My mother was an extremely brilliant person in speech and manipulation. She was gifted. She was also an alcoholic but a very functional alcoholic. When I look at Kamala Harris’s face and features and expressions I see my mother.
My grandparents raised me and my brother, I and my brother were an inconvenience. In their old age we took care of our grandparents. When she died we just went to work. It was just another day.
Answering puffball questions that are multiple choice too hot by reading from a script isn’t “ coming out of hiding.”
To boot.
Is that Punxsutawney Phil sitting next to her? Looks like birds of a feather. I’m not to sure he even know’s where the sun is.
She didn’t come out of hiding... had their minder Walz with her...a she looked terrible.
Good for Mark Penn. some day we’ll be able to discuss issues rationally and reasonably but prolly not in my lifetime
Punxsutawney Phil sighting... sticks it’s head out and that’s all
