That was pretty awful.

By that, I mean the Fox interview with Kamala Harris and Bret Baier.

Despite what is being reported this morning, with some of her staff saying the Fox interview was an “Attack” I think it was pretty reasonable. After all if she can’t handle one reporter pressing for answers how is she going to handle a UN or NATO summit?

When he pressed her about a poll where 79% responded they thought America was on the wrong track and she started talking about Trump campaigning.

I thought, 1) “I wish they’d stop talking over each other,” and 2) “What the hell is she talking about?”

I was thinking along these lines;

No, Kamala, no, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Trump campaigning or not doesn’t change anything about what your administration has done and the mood of the American People. If Trump speaking can sway 79% of the people in a poll away from your policies, and administrations direction, then honestly I think the problem is with you & Biden.

That number is suggestive of you being remarkably out of touch with the American People and if you’ve missed the mark that substantially then Biden and by extension, you don’t, in my opinion, deserve the Presidency.

It was insulting that she’d try to use Trump as a boogy-man like that. Because if the Biden / Harris administration had been doing their job, and the American People were happy about the job they’d done over the past 4 years, Trump campaigning or not would have little effect on the Polls. Certainly not almost 80% of the people polled. I’d guess that the polling should be somewhere about 50/50 if everything was “normal”.

Put another way, only 20% of the country believes things are going well. In a simple Democracy that 20% would be ignored. Will of the majority & all right? Suddenly, the Electoral College doesn’t seem like such a bad idea does it? 

I was never able to determine what she was alluding to with her “Trump was campaigning” word salad neither was Baier and further, she didn’t explain herself.

I’d hate to see her in a really contentious negotiation against say Putin, or Xi, or a Muslim state like Iran where women are only supposed to cook, clean, bend over, and never speak. “What does a woman know?”

In those situations Harris or any Woman for that matter, better be clear & concise with her meaning. She’ll need to be direct and not attempt to wheedle her way into what she wants.

Yeah, maybe it means a woman will have to work harder as President. Those are the breaks, not every culture treats women with respect. If she can’t handle that, maybe she doesn’t have what it takes to be President.

Nonetheless, I’m really interested to see how the Democrats are going to install Kamala Harris in the Oval Office. They have to, you understand that right? If the Democrats lose, it may well be their end as a dominant party in what is essentially a two party system. 

Once could extrapolate from the polls that a pretty substantial percentage of the American People are turning their backs on a party that hasn’t delivered on promises even though that party has been in control of The Presidency for 12 of the past 16 years.

I’m tired of hearing Kamala talk about Trump. I’d like her to answer fundamental questions about HER. What are her policies, what are her plans when she becomes President, what are her opinions about world events and does she have any thoughts about solutions to world problems?

Believe it or not, much as I dislike the Biden / Harris administration, if Kamala Harris presented me with a better choice than Trump, I’d hear her out.

I don’t care that she’s a woman, or her race, or any of that shit. Despite what that vile, rancid, shrew, Joy Behar says, not supporting Harris, isn’t about misogyny.

The fundamental question is one of merit. 

Does she merit a position in the Oval Office more than the other choice? Thus far the answer is a resounding “No”.

I’m still trying to listen…
