Tuesday, October 08, 2024

"With no more debates between Harris and former President Donald Trump currently scheduled, this slate of interviews could present the best opportunities for surprising and news-making moments in the final four-week sprint to Election Day.

Here are five takeaways from Harris' sit down with "60 Minutes":"

With the Orange Chicken in hiding, she stands out as a great candidate compared to the former Traitor in Chef.

Looks like she's lining up a busy month, not really surprising.

Obama is forcing her to do actual interviews now, and ones with actual tough questions that she isn't comfortable answering. This doesn't end well for her as non-memorized answers and thinking on your feet have proven to be her kryptonite.

too bad Obama isn't "forcing" that puss trump to do interviews. Trump turned down 60 minutes once he found out they were fact checking.

Obama is the Wizard of Kenya.

The 60 minutes (and this is not an exact quote) "Trump cancelled the interview citing fact checking (we always fact check) and other reasons that didn't and never happened" was quite the opening.

Think of fact checking as a red line for Trump.
He sees it and does what he's always done: he runs away.
Like when faced with the prospect of facing Kamala Harris again.
Red line! Red line! And ... whoosh! he's off and running ... away.
Lol

#5 - The projection is strong in the cult. Her Kryptonite is thinking on her feet and answering tough questions? Dotard only does friendly interviews and town halls, and even the when asked by a supporter a simple question about child care, he meanders off to lying again about terriffs. Even in his so-called press conferences he simply rambles through his Klan rally lies and takes no questions. The odd time a reporter actually gets to ask Combover Quisling a question, if he can't answer it, he attacks the reporter. Old BlueWaffen is a freaking moron!

Wow.

VP Harris finally sits down with a one-on-one interview with a media company.

The GOP should be ecstatic about this.

I mean, all the lies and gaffs they expected to occur and hoped to capitalize upon.

Oh, wait ....

From the cited article...

... Harris says Congress must act on border security

Harris maintained migration is a "longstanding problem" when asked about President Joe Biden's administration's approach to immigration policies and refused to answer whether officials should've cracked down sooner.

From the outset, the Biden administration faced record migration in the Western Hemisphere, which was hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Over the last three years, US officials grappled with migrant surges at the southern border.

Asked why the administration didn't crack down earlier, Harris cited an immigration bill proposed to Congress in early 2021 and slammed Republicans for tanking a recent bipartisan border bill after Trump urged them to reject the measure.

CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked: "But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?"

"It's a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions," Harris said. ...

Interesting.

Of course Trump didn't bother to appear he would have had to do some homework to try and remember some answers to questions like..how will you pay for your programs, and is project 2025 going to be your platform?
