In television, the first thing you notice is what you see, not what you hear. It’s called optics and in the CNN interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz, what I first noticed was how small Harris appeared. Walz towered over her. When you’re running for president the last image you want to project is a small one.
The camera angle was bad and who decided Harris should sit behind a table, which made her look like a customer waiting for service at a restaurant? Dana Bash tossed fairly softball questions, did few follow-ups and let Harris get away with her answers on the border and the economy, the two biggest issues in the race.
Harris claimed, “I haven’t changed my values.” Maybe not, but she sure has changed her positions to attract the independent voters she must have to win the all-important swing states.
Anyone should be allowed to change their positions if that change is credible (such as when new evidence that has come to light) rather than political. Commentators who claim she is “racing toward the middle” mean she is making a pragmatic journey to get votes, not something born out of conviction. If Harris can change her mind on issues important to voters, who believes she won’t change her mind again should she become president? That’s the path Joe Biden took – projecting a middle position but governing as a left-wing politician, many of whose policies were endorsed by Bernie Sanders.
Bash let Harris get away with not answering the big question. Was she part of a cover-up about Biden’s mental decline? She was testifying until recently, along with virtually every other Democrat, that the president in private was engaged, in control and knowledgeable. The pictures and that disastrous debate Biden did with Donald Trump don’t lie. Few bought the jet lag and “I have a cold” excuse.
During the interview, Harris tried to claim “Bidenomics” has been successful, while admitting prices are still too high (no question about her recent promise to slap price controls on food and housing) and she was allowed to get away with claiming inflation is now under 3 percent. That is a cumulative number. Under the Biden-Harris administration, inflation soared to more than 9 percent and while the inflation rate has declined, the prices for just about everything remain stubbornly high.
Harris wants a $6,000 tax credit for each newborn because parents need child care. My parents had child care. They cared for me and didn’t ship me off to daycare. Same with my kids.
There was no question about the more than $35 trillion debt, which Harris’ proposals would increase. No nation has ever been able to survive with such debt and an open border. Harris vaguely promised to enforce new laws on the border, but never explained why she and Biden are not enforcing current laws. Nor was she asked.
On the Israel-Hamas conflict, Harris defaulted to the unworkable “two-state solution” that has characterized several administrations and won’t work because Israel’s enemies are driven by religious fanaticism. They believe they have a mandate to destroy the Jewish state and kill Jews.
There were no questions about China, Russia or Ukraine.
Bash didn’t ask about Harris’ proposed tax increases, or why government never seems to cut spending, even on outmoded or failed programs. As Ronald Reagan used to say, “The closest thing to eternal life on Earth is a government program.”
Harris should be an easy target for Trump during their Sept. 10 debate, that is if he has the discipline and sticks to the issues and the Biden-Harris record.
Why in the world do you think that the questioner/questions will be any more adversarial than “he said, she said” or “what type of ice cream do you like” for camel a?
Trump absolutely will stick to the issues in any debate with Heels Up Harris many successes as President and the multitude of disastrous ones by the Alzheimer Joe and Harris one. He always does it at his rallies.
Curious why this “brave” woman drug along Tim for an interview of softballs from a friend. Has anyone taken a parent to a job interview, much less a job interview with a family friend? Me either.
And we got see less than half of the total interview. I can only imagine the part they didn’t release
Harris the Laughing Hyena and her pimp VP Walz and Obama and the Clintons and Pelosi and Schumer and the
depraved democrat party and the Media
are now fully engaged in the process of implementing the Great Duping of America.
I shouldn’t be surprised when I witness the duping of the American public. Madison Avenue does it every day, so it is not unusual. But seeing now as it plays out in the presidential election is making me ill.
Up until a month ago, Kamala Harris was the butt of incessant jokes. Her word salad and cackling made her into a public fool. An NBC News poll last June found her to be the single least popular vice president in American history—only 32% of Americans had a positive view of her. Then the unthinkable occurred. Harris became the Democrat nominee for president, and the Democrat-controlled media set out to rehabilitate her. In the blink of an eye, she became the reincarnation of Lincoln. Will the voting public buy it?
I have said it before, and I will say it again. No one in his right mind should support Harris. She is, to borrow from a Wall Street Journal editorial, an insult to American voters. Oddly enough, her public fool persona is not the worst thing about Harris. Her personal attributes are eclipsed by her extreme leftist views. “She is farther left than 97 percent of the Democrats,” said Mark Levin, “the most extreme radical politician ever to run for high office in the United States of America.”
