Lousy Interview Bodes Ill For Harris-Walz Campaign
Newsweek ^ | Aug 30, 2024 | Paul du Quenoy

Posted on 09/01/2024 2:13:09 PM PDT by SharpRightTurn

"I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," replied Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in a verbose word salad when CNN's Dana Bash asked in her Thursday interview why her policy positions have changed since President Joe Biden cleared the path for her to run for president.

Bash looked curiously embarrassed for even asking such germane questions of someone seeking to be the most powerful person in the world. Harris, on the other hand, seemed confident that Bash would make no attempt to press her on any issue, likely knowing that the interview's main purpose was to offer her campaign cover from accusations of dodging media scrutiny. Accordingly, she did not explain what her "values" are, how they have led her to endorse policies significantly at odds with those she espoused before she became the de facto Democratic nominee five weeks ago, or why Americans should trust her.

CNN featured Harris' verbose and evasive response in a 90-second teaser released before the full interview, which lasted only 27 minutes. As short as the interview was, Harris' actual airtime was further reduced by media footage of her campaign and the unusual inclusion of her running mate Tim Walz, who, as CNN's own Anderson Cooper cynically noted, was there to reduce the amount of time Harris would be exposed to unscripted questioning. As some commentators have noted, seating Walz to Harris' right at a round table—and thus closer to the viewer—made her look physically small and unassuming, almost as though her presence was deliberately diminished.

When Harris did talk, she often stepped into the very traps her campaign has been trying to avoid. When Bash asked what she would do on the first day of her administration, .... [Excerpted]

Unbelievable this empty suit extreme liberal from San Francisco is tied in polls with Trump. Has this country lost it’s mind?

Can’t take chances. Not after what happened to Biden.

“since President Joe Biden cleared the path for her to run for president.”
No, Joe didn’t do that, that was Pelosi, all the way.

Harris’ bounce in swing states seems to be receding. If Republicans want more movement in that direction, all they need to do is to keep Harris talking....... something she will certainly avoid as much as possible....... but American voters deserve to hear her.

Yes. It was expected of him to supplement, revise and extend any remarks she made that got her into trouble.

Que-Mala’s problem is that she’s about only 60-90 seconds ‘deep’ intellectually - or in the attention to detail that she’s given anything she’s proposed thus far. There’s just not anything there and what IS there is a gross pattern of bad things happening because she’s just ignored everything.

Kamala values power, power above anything else, and nothing else.

She'll say or do anything, no matter how craven.

It’s better for people to know how awful they are ahead of time. If they can’t even get an interview right, how can anyone expect that they will be able to do the hard work of governing the country?

Or maybe as usual the polls are lying. Trafalgar says Trump is up in every battleground state.

Hmmm, the media seems to have lost its enthusiasm for Harris after a few days have gone by after her easy-peasy interview. Especially NewsWeek, who have been propping her up with one poll after another showing her in the lead. Now they seem a little worried.

Harris’s whole campaign team know what a ditz she is. Heat was being felt from the usually friendly lame stream media because she wouldn’t give interviews even to them. So she HAD to do at least one. And this stinker of an interview is why her advisors will not agree to open access to the candidate - the more voters see her, the more they will see that she is an idiot, babbling almost incoherently.

Trafalgar leans republican, but we will take it. I hope the September 10 debate will be decisive assuming Trump performs well.

Open your mouth, and hide your hands under the table, and remove all doubt.

RE: Has this country lost it’s mind? (tied with Trump....)

One possibility.

My more likely answer is pure evil and demonic influence in the Dem Party.

Monsignor Stephen Rosetti who is one of more than 150 American Catholic exorcists said in an interview he has seen a definite upswing in demonic influence in the past few years. He said all his fellow exorcists are overworked. They now get Jews, Muslims and Hindus as well as atheists who ask for help now.

The late Father Gabriele Amorth (1925-2016) performed over 6,000 exorcisms.

Which means don’t listen to what I am saying because it does
not mean anything since ...
“most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed”
from what she was holding to at the begining
