On Wednesday night, as Townhall has been covering, Vice President Kamala Harris had her interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. It ended up being a disaster for her and her campaign, with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican nominee for vice president, certainly having some thoughts about how Harris performed.
Harris bombed so badly that immediately after, Vance quipped over X that Democrats "should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden."
To my Democratic friends: maybe you should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden. — JD Vance (@JDVance) October 16, 2024
Vance also spoke to "Fox & Friends," where he reminded just how involved Harris has been as the sitting vice president, pointing out how she was the tiebreaking vote with the woefully misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, and has "bragged about being the last person in the room when major decisions were made," which includes the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
"But we have to step back and appreciate, there is something pathological going on here," Vance said about Harris. "She has been in power for three and a half years. And when asked about how she would be different [from Biden], she goes and talks about Donald Trump, and when it's pointed out, 'well, you actually have been in office for three and a half years,' she says, 'well, you know, he's been talking about politics for 10 years.'"
Continuing from there about what delusional responses and non-answers that Harris gave, Vance wondered, "What is it in the mind of this person that can't just acknowledge that she has been in power for three and a half years and bears some responsibility as the sitting vice president for the condition that the country is in!"
Vance even offered other options that Harris could have gone with. "Instead she pretends that Donald Trump bears the responsibility for problems that happened while she was the sitting vice president," Vance pointed out. "She does that about the border, she does that about the affordability of groceries, she does that about the chaos on the world stage!"
"I've never seen a person who's running for president, as the sitting vice president, who pretends she has nothing to do with the condition of the country she's been governing," Vance stressed.
JD Vance TORCHES Kamala 🔥

Harris' lack of responsibility and her tendency to blame Trump was exemplified perhaps no more clearly than when she and Baier were discussing the border, which Vance also touched upon when offering what he found "so bizarre about Kamala Harris' entire interview." This included how Harris "couldn't answer a direct question."
"What I saw is a person who not just didn't have the skill to navigate a tough interview, but doesn't know how to explain her record, because her record is not possible to explain away to the American people, and so she dipped and dodged questions for 25 minutes," Vance continued. "That's not leadership, and that's not contrition, and I think the American people would like to see from their vice president an acknowledgment that she screwed up, it's why we have so many of these problems, real leadership would be promising a new course, and acknowledging while the old course didn't work."
Last night, Kamala Harris once again refused to name a single policy difference between her and Joe Biden.

"Fox & Friends" also spoke with Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant.
Morin especially took issue with Harris constantly bringing up Trump, including and especially during the topic of immigration and the deaths of several Americans, including children, allegedly murdered by those who should not have been in the country to begin with.
As the victim's mother shared, "I completely and totally blame" the Biden-Harris administration for her daughter's death, reminding that "there were policies that were already in place," and she believes this administration revoked them all, more out of spite towards Mr. Trump, I believe, than anything," which "completely opened up our border to a massive invasion of illegal immigrants like none ever seen in the history of our country."
One penny rent for each day of her campaign for which DJT has been living within her head, and I'd pay $$ to be a fly on the wall when she opened it.

Vance is correct.
“Harris bombed so badly that immediately after, Vance quipped over X that Democrats “should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden.”
“To my Democratic friends: maybe you should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden. — JD Vance (@JDVance) October 16, 2024”
I had not read this quip from Vance. Very well done.
She has nothing to offer, so she tries to change the subject.
My favorite was in response to “Why did you give Iran billions of dollars? “ she answered that Trump said soldiers with traumatic brain injuries just had “headaches”.
I guess in some quarters that counts as an answer.
It seems to me that was basically an admission.
Nuttier than squirrel turds. Do you think?
Polly want a cackle?
“There is something pathological going on here...”
What was pathological, and compulsively so, was when Baier was quoting her smear words about Trump — she started echoing them while he was quoting her. She was completely unhinged.
It would be a vain hope ... but it's their only hope!
There really is something pathological about someone who at every single opportunity to take responsibility for something assigns it to someone else, and expects the audience to take her seriously afterward. Her ridiculous passphrase “unburdened by the past” applies to her only, not to anyone else, and certainly not to Trump. Her answer to taking responsibility for the administration of the last three and a half years was to accuse Trump of talking politics for the last ten. That she was in office and he wasn’t apparently doesn’t even register. That’s simply not healthy.
She and/or her handlers must be under the impression that most in the audience don’t think beyond what they hear.
“who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant.”
Was she allegedly murdered, or was she murdered by an alleged immigrant?
Don’t they teach nothing to these kids no more about English and how it is spoke?
They teach on how English be spoke, yo!
JD is great! O-H!
Maybe something oenological?
Wine—or whine?
Difficult to tell but there may be some psychiatric issues.....her inability to form an appropriate response to a question which challenges her performance is very strange.
I guess the normal response would be to explain why she chose a course of action...she just goes off in a different direction instead of justifying her action.
When she told an interviewer that “we have been to the border”, and the interviewer stated that “she had not been to the border”....her follow up comment was that “I have not been to Europe either” A very bizarre “non response” at any age level...from kindergarten to adult.
Captain Obvious says... “She is not running on all of her brain neurons...something is off kilter.”
