VP Harris mocked for being 'too scared' to do interview without Walz: 'She simply cannot be left unattended'

[LoreD]

From NPR

Excellent critique of Harris' performance:

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/30/nx-s1-5095227/kamala-harris-interview-cnn-analysis

6 takeaways from Harris' interview on CNN​

1. Harris passed the test of doing an unscripted interview​

From a strictly performance standpoint, Harris was clear, calm and didn’t get rattled when pushed about changes to her positions on certain issues.

In some past interviews, she came across as defensive, but that wasn’t the case here. She seemed comfortable and in command, which is important for a presidential candidate who people are still getting to know.

3. Harris shows (again) she’s not an ideologue — and is aiming for the middle​

From saying she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet to committing to stronger fracking and immigration policies than she had in 2019, to her position on Israel, Harris is again showing she’s aiming her campaign squarely at the middle.

Fox News runs a hit piece on Harris

An hourly occurance

 

[Amutt]

I'm not a fan of either candidate (plus I'm a Canadian, so I'll leave it to y'all to sort this mess out), but this sort of headline is NOT news. It's advocacy pure and simple, and both foxnews and cnn are guilty as hell of being shills for their party of choice.

Especially since it's not unusual at all.

The things Kamala Harris says are far more intelligent than anything you've ever said here.

But any time you take a break from making threads defending pedophiles, everyone here breathes a sigh of relief.

You just want Kamala to help you kill and murder more people.

Your beloved NeoCons, whom you pretended to hate back when they killed and murdered so many Iraqis, are now your precious close friends.

They're now complaining about China having an "overcapacity" problem -- even while they fail to acknowledge America's own overcapacity problem -- its overcapacity to make war to cause death & destruction.
They've simply availed themselves of that overcapacity and used it for their own ends -- ends which have nothing to do with America's own national interests -- and arranged for as much death as possible.
And you're all for it. The illegal invasion of Iraq is just an easily discarded memory for you, or not a memory at all. The current conflicts being stoked are just more of the same, which you've come to embrace.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Desecrating Arlington?

That is rather strong language, like calling Jan. 6th a riot when it was clearly a kegger that got out of hand, and the only rioters were drunken Antifa disguised as MAGA.

MAGA.

aka "Photo op gone wrong."

This seems a little .. um .. out of left field. Is this a personal attack on whomever you were responding to? The killing and murdering, I mean.

I just don't see the connection between Kamala Harris and the neocons of the 2000s. Just because traditional Republicans are speaking out against Donald Trump doesn't mean that Kamala meets their global hegemony goals. This is a reach.

She's to afraid to do an interview by herself so she has to be supervised

Just walked away from your favorite FOX News host, huh?

In the meantime, candidates have traditionally appeared with their VPs in interviews. Even Trump has interviewed with Vance sitting next to him. Except, Harris knocked it out of the park.

Do you people ever wonder why your political masters can't ever provide you with something that is actually worth whining about? Perhaps it is because what you all have decided represents you best, is so morally bankrupt and inept, that no mater what they come up with, it will never be worth the effort. Perhaps it is because Democrats never really offer you anything to criticize.

Stay tuned for Hannity telling you that Harris has a hair out of place, and thus can't possibly ever sit before a global leader and discuss important issues. You know, like Obama has a brown suit! Aghast and stuff! We'll await your thread.

You bias is showing. FOX is much more welcoming to left wing panelists and guests. The left just doesn't like to get asked questions so they don't go on FOX because they don't get tossed softballs.

You must have missed Mayor Petes visits to Fox. Always a pleasure for Pete to call out Fox on its network.

Reminds me of how Joe couldn't travel or appear without either Jill or Hunter leading him around by the nose.

Off topic, but briefly:

He's pro-russian. I support Ukraine.

So it's a reliable rule that any time you find him complaining about killing and murdering, it will be about the killing of russian soldiers.

He appears to feel deeply about his support of putin, because sometimes it appears in other threads.

The current Harris-Biden admin is overrun with NeoCons. The word "NeoCon" is actually a misnomer -- these people merely got that name because they first manifested themselves during Bush Jr's administration.
They're not really conservatives at all, and they exist on both sides of the aisle, in both parties.
They masquerade as both liberals and conservatives, in order to blend into both parties.

They really appreciate working under ignorant dumbass presidents, who can act as mere rubber stamps while they wield the real power and keep control over day-to-day operations.
That's why they thrived under dumbass Bush Jr, and also thrived under dumbass Obama, and while they had to go on hiatus under Trump, they came back under dumbass Biden, and they're now pinning their hopes on dumbass Kamala.

But it's not clear that you really opposed the illegal invasion of Iraq by these predatory thugs, anyway.

 

[Zappa]

Viewed cynically, it's a good strategy. Harris is not known for thinking quickly on her feet (or even on her ass). From what little I've seen from Walz he seems very good off the cuff.

Get ready for Tim to but in every time it sounds like a cackle might be welling up.

Actually it’s a bad move.

It illustrates and you illustrate she’s not capable of standing on her own two feet.

It’s why she’s dodged the media for over 40-days.

Given the softball interview with her support animal and cheater cards a’la Biden, she was piss poor.

Her first rambling non-answer-answer set the tone.

Now back to hibernation for her is my guess.

No, the fact is that NeoCons started this war between Russia and Ukraine, by overthrowing the elected govt in Kyiv to replace it with fascists.

It's all about Machine Politics.

The Obama Democrats (Welfare State) have entered into an alliance with the Security State (Deep State)

They plan to monopolize power between them and jointly live off the US Dollar, while letting US economic productivity wither and die.
This will gut the middle class, those pesky people who complain about govt and don't bow their heads quickly enough.

The American electorate can then be reduced to mere fleas on a dog's back, and kept on the ropes and out of the way.
America can then be run by oligarchs who will use their money & financial leverage to keep hold on power and themselves on top, for a more reliable ruling dispensation.

Never mind hairs out of place - she has no goddamned brain cells.
If she's your idea of an intelligent speaker, then you're saying something about your own standards.

Did you see the CNN panel afterwards. They tried to put lipstick on that pig of a performance and couldn’t.

Harris was given a t-ball and whiffed mightily.

I was and always will be morally opposed to the second invasion of Iraq by President George W Bush. "Shock and Awe" (Rumsfeld) - more murderous words have never been uttered in modern times. I felt it then and it's even more shocking in retrospect.

It must be nice to be superior.

What we call a "double hater."

Looking down on the USA masses of rabble.

She dropped the ball on fracking.
She should have said something like "I'd like to see it replaced with green energy but I want the free market to push that along naturally "

You missed the post debate panel on CNN. They struggled to make a positive out of her 18-minutes.

Not a single superlative, and a lot of stretching to make it sound like she did ok.

 

[Zappa]

She dropped the ball on fracking.
She should have said something like "I'd like to see it replaced with green energy but I want the free market to push that along naturally "

She dropped the ball constantly.

As for fracking, her take was to ban it on Day 1.

Now she’s for it?!

After wrecking the energy industry in the US? Just look at the prices under Harris/Biden. That’s due to their policies on energy.

Everyone knows she’s full of shit, even the hard core Leftists.

 

[MSgt]

Never mind hairs out of place - she has no goddamned brain cells.
If she's your idea of an intelligent speaker, then you're saying something about your own standards.

In the meantime, your standard is Trump. Bumbling, slurring, misspeaking, erroneous, lying, incoherent Trump. A national traitor, and documented felon and sex offender. A man who can't complete a sentence without bursting into another one. A man who wrecked America on every level, leaving it to Democrats to spend four years fixing it. This is your standard. In the meantime, high profile Republicans visit the DNC to denounce Trump and support Harris. Virtually of his former staff, his own former VP, and George W. Bush refuses to endorse him.

Not you though, right? You remain steadfastly and blindly loyal to a person who consistently proves not to care a thing about you. Say's it all, doesn't it? I hear Trump is pulling out the Qanon crap again for you. That's how desperate he is to maintain popularity and how much he respects you. Why should he offer you respect? You've proven that he can do and say whatever he wants, offer you no policy at all, and you will still remain irrationally on your knees in worship. He knows this about you. And your response? ****ing pathetic.
