She can't possibly do enough interviews as far as I am concerned. People need to learn what they may get from both candidates if they are elected. The actual answer for her doing more interviews may be from internal polling. The campaign is likely trying to address whatever they think are pain points in the polls. I doubt they changed their strategy without a solid reason behind the change. |

The contrast is stunning Trump wants to be a leader Yet afraid to debate Harris again or be interviewed by 60 min Talk about a wimp Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The contrast is stunning Harris wants to be a leader Yet she was afraid to be interviewed by anyone for weeks after she was elevated to nominee She refuses to do an interview with Fox Talk about a wimp They are both very flawed candidates. Pick your flaw. I won't argue with you about it. I hope both of them are not in the picture as candidates ever again. They can go back to being private citizens. |

What evidence do you have that she “was afraid” to do interviews? It was clear to most people with brains that the August pre-DNC strategy was to let Donny hog up all the airtime and let his sundowning be on full display.

Can’t argue with you that letting the focus on Trump, presently the worst candidate in history for a variety of reasons, rather than on her generally horrible platform, is good strategy. She can only scream abortion abortion abortion the rich are bad the rich are bad the rich are bad so many times. She is a generally bad candidate, but gets to shine because she is compared to Trump. |

Once she was the candidate, she still avoided interviews. You avoid things you don't think will help your campaign. Her inability to do well in interviews made her, or her handlers, leery of allowing her to do them. She is only doing them now because she, and/or the campaign folks, has decided that it was better than not doing them. BOTH of them are doing things that they think will benefit their campaign. Pretty simple. |

So no evidence she was “afraid” to do interviews. You just pulled that one out of your rear end. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Okay. She didn't do interviews because she pretty much sucks at handling questions in any setting that is the least bit adversarial. This is not limited to Fox; she would not do them with anyone for a while. Afraid. Leery. Scared. Incapable of avoiding word salad. Whatever. I still believe that the same thing I stated earlier--the candidate replacing the old guys has the best shot at winning the election. That doesn't mean that she is a good candidate. |
