Campaign Memo: Kamala Harris to Sit for Interviews After Debate Debacle
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/2024 | Wendell Husebø

Posted on 09/12/2024 8:21:44 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Vice President Kamala Harris, who only sat for one interview since joining the presidential race, will answer questions in a couple of local and national interviews in the next few weeks, according to a campaign memo reported by the New York Times.

The announcement is a reversal in strategy and comes just two days after Harris appeared to avoid most questions during her first presidential debate. Political pundits slammed her for appearing evasive particularly on the first question on the economy, the number one issue for voters.

“Despite the economy being the number one issue facing the country, the sitting vice president generally reverted to talking points about a few of her policy proposals,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said after the debate. “Even Harris allies today are saying that she needs to talk more about what she will do for Americans if elected.”

My thought is if her ideas/policies are so superior to Trumps then why not sit down with Levin or Tucker and have a interview and state her case?? I ask libs that and they look at me if I have 2 heads.

Pre-prepared question interviews??

I knew it. This is the only way she can speak ... with the help of the LYING MSM.

She’ll only sit for interviews with folks with lower IQs and morals than her. This, of course, limits the interviewers to Hollywood “talent”, journalists, most media, and University Lib Arts “Professors”.

Her campaign thinks (hopes) she’s had an epiphany and has figured it out. Might be a big mistake. She’s still dumb as a fence post.

No reason for her to do that. The dems are disciplined and will ensure friendly interviews and moderators. They will try to minimize exposure and unfavorability numbers.

More proof that she didn’t do what she needed to do in the Debate.

I REALLY wish the R’s would learn this lesson.
NEVER go on a show/ network that is hostile.

Starve CNN/MSNBC/ABC/PBS/ NYT etc.

Just STOP. they are never going to like you. And they will NEVER change if you keep feeding them.

Hot take: Trump goaded her into not talking about the issues. They thought he was going to come to the debate and she was going to have to work to get him to respond to her attacks but he ran with it. He left nothing unanswered WHILE still needling her on policy. She doesn’t have the skill to do that so she made the entire debate about Trump (this is why Trump was able to speak for significantly more time). She realized it at the end of the debate (or someone whispered it to her). Watch the debate again and at the end she tries to squeeze in some policy. We should Be talking about my 50K/family blah blah blah. She figured it out by the end and that’s why they immediately wanted another debate because it’s not easy to get 60M people to listen to you. By the end of the debate she had said NOTHING of importance, I mean, ZERO. For all the people who think she won please tell me one thing that she said that you remember, one real take away from debate from her perspective. You cannot because she said nothing. At the end of the debate I am confident there is still about 25% of the people who know absolutely nothing about her other than she has a really smug face/attitude. I am so disappointed in the independent and conservative media for doing nothing than parroting MSM talking points and thoughts process.

No way is she doing sit down interviews with the media unless arrangements are made ahead of time where the questions are provided, and she can practice and rehearse her responses. She will never do any on the spot or impromptu interviews with random media hosts the way Trump does. Now I realize how strategically smart it was for Trump to do a number of sit down interviews with a number of young media influencers. He’s reaching much more younger voters in general than he would have by running a traditional media campaign with TV and radio ads!

They have already arranged for her to get many sickening tongue baths. Are we really surprised? We should watch her like a hawk, because there will definitely be an interview or six where she’s stoned, half in the bag or seriously hungover

” appeared to avoid most questions “

Appeared?!?! She never came close to answering ANY question. A questions from the moderators was her que to recite one of the speeches she was ordered to memorize by her handlers.

She will rehearse the interviews virtually nonstop since her job doesn’t require her to do anything.

They will probably give her the questions ahead of time, so her staff can prepare answers
