'Train wreck for Harris': Kamala is ripped to shreds for 'word salad' CNN softball interview as ex-Obama strategist gives brutal verdict ahead of Trump debate showdown

Kamala Harris was last night ripped to shreds for her 'word salad' answers in a softball liberal media interview - her first since Joe Biden stepped down 40 days ago. The Democratic nominee appeared beside her running mate Tim Walz for an hourlong broadcast - which in reality amounted to less than half an hour of actual questioning by Dana Bash.

Scott Jennings, an ex-Bush advisor, issued the ominous warning that Donald Trump will be 'salivating' ahead of the presidential debate on September 10 - their first ever face-to-face meeting. That sentiment was echoed by GOP polling guru Frank Luntz who tweeted: 'A lot of people think Kamala Harris has done well so far in this interview. I disagree – a good debater will find it easy to challenge her.' He added: 'If tonight's interview is judged not on policy but on performance, Kamala Harris will be found lacking.' Bash, a CNN loyalist who has worked at the liberal network since graduating from college, was accused of failing to land any major blows. Harris HQ span the interview as a great triumph. Donald Trump told his Truth Social followers it was 'BORING!!!' Daily Mail columnist Andrew Neil said Harris was 'let off the hook on her part in the cover up of Biden's cognitive decline' and added that CNN gave a 'master class on how not to hold politicians to account'. Former Trump aide Steve Cortes called it a 'train wreck.' Harris at times appeared nervous and hesitant in her responses which were branded 'word salad' by many on social media. Axelrod said Harris was forced to straddle the precarious position of taking 'credit for the things that are good and to try and walk away from the things that are not.'

This reminds me of Bill and Hillary interview after they could not cover up Bill’s girlfriends anymore.

I remember a big show piece run on national TV the night before the election. A sit down interview with Bill and Hillary. The piece was produced by Harry and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.

It was one of the slickest and well produced info-ads I’ve ever seen. The set was great, lighting, color choices, time of day lighting, interviewees on the couch together comfortable.

When It was over, I said to myself, “Damn, they’ve won this.”

Trump needs to be Reagan like and polite. The only card she can play is to get him to look mean. He should be fatherly and use this chance to show people that he’s a nice person.

I sometimes wonder if Comrade Kamala was selected as an in your face way to demonstrate that they can put into office anybody they want to and that the American people can’t do a damn thing about it

That is the absolute best advice anyone could give the former president! And I am not overstating that.

Let’s hope his advisors, and DJT himself, understand this is the only way to go.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

Which is exactly what I said about Baraq Obomber at the time. Like it was a bet that some Middle East sheik made and, sadly, won.

Great advice. Let the surrogates do the dirty work. Vance needs to be diplomatic about it as well.

Will someone remind me of those “things that are good” from the Biden/Harris administration?

I’m drawing a blank.

Did the cashier enjoy it?
