Now Republicans say she’s giving TOO MANY interviews.



lol

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

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.

You just making stuff up now?

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.

Calling you out, SooPoo:

Can you point to a source where she said the "rich are bad", or is it just your inaccurate extrapolation of her public statements?

Quote: RonC

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.

If Kamala is incapable of avoiding word salad, what does that make Donny?

Seriously, watch this from earlier today. What the hell is he saying?!

This is why so many righties will only talk about Kamala and pretend Donny doesn’t exist anymore (this last part isn’t directed at RonC or SOOPOO, they are the rare ones who can admit his mind is going).

I gave you the specific quote from her TV ad. She demonizes the “1%’. ‘They do nothing for anyone but themselves’. Ignoring the FACT that that small sliver of the population pays 1/4 of the taxes.
She attacks BIG PHARMA as if all the innovation and invention and live extending they do is bad. She wants to cripple them.

She does not demonize big pharma for saving lives and innovating, she demonizes big pharma for using the U.S. as a cash cow. No other country pays the money for drugs that the U.S. do, we basically subsidize their profits for all countries that they operate in. Basically every other civilized country has price controls on drugs, and since we do not, we pay more and more as other countries pay less....

It's as if there was an agreement that US consumers should subsidize pharma [in a sense] so that drugs would be cheaper for the rest of the world. Also, was there an argument that the public never heard, that such US participation is essential for drug development costs? The problem is, not every US consumer is someone that can be doing that, come on!

If this ends it will be interesting to see how much drugs go up in cost in other countries ... or if new drugs quit coming on line because no country is there to support the cost

I was involved in medical research for a product that was being developed to sell to hospitals/ surgicenters. I can guess that around $3 million was spent on the project I was the clinical doctor for. My final recommendation was to NOT go forward with production/marketing, as I didn’t think it improved on existing technology. And would have been more expensive to produce. That’s $3 million that generated zero. (Number is an educated guess). My understanding is the research for drugs is far more expensive, with far more failures than successes.

When they finally hit a home run it should be a home run, not a single. When Nike sells a sneaker that costs $10 to manufacture for $350, no one blinks an eye. When the Sabres sell a $1 beer for $12 it is just ok.

I WANT BIG PHARMA to always have that profit motive. Or else the Mounjaro I’m on never would have been invented.

Back to regular programming. Why couldn’t the stupid Republicans have chosen a ‘normal’ candidate. One that we could just go issue to issue with the Dems. I think Haley/DeSantis/fill in the blank could have focused on all the Democrat failings without having all the baggage Trump brings. You all know I don’t like Harris, but you can analyze her positions and make a decision. You can’t do that with Trump

I have bets on Harris. I’m feeling good about them.

Republicans decided not to hang together when Trump came out of the gate the first time. So, they all got hung separately. That’s why they can’t successfully oppose him.

I realize all candidates are mildly flawed, and some worse than others. Trump doesn’t even fit in that usual category.

NBC released its latest national poll results. I don’t think anyone would call NBC News a right biased organization. They have Trump and Harris tied at 48-48. When they allow for 3rd party candidates they actually have Trump up a point. For Trump to even be close to Harris in a national poll is a terribly poor news for the Dems. I forgot which source, but read Trump is ahead of Harris in MICHIGAN even after his stump speech making fun of Detroit! My local tax bill just came due. Big increase from last year. NYS totally Democrat controlled. (My area is slowly seeping to Democrat run). Just had my fall sprinkler service. Up 30% from last year. Snow plow contract came. Up 20% from last year. The Dems can shout from the roof how ‘inflation is slowing’ but the damage has already been done. America is aware of the disaster of Democrat policy fueled inflation.
If it wasn’t for the millions who will vote solely for a Democrat because of abortion, this would be a route like we’ve never seen. And that’s with the Republicans having a lying, felonious, aged, generally despicable candidate!
