Democrats are excited about Harris and as of this writing she's raised 100 million dollars since Biden announced he was dropping out and throwing his support behind her.
Quote
"Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don't think very highly of her. They don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris' name in Republican circles, people laugh. It's immediately a punchline," Cruz said Monday on his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz."
Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an "historic" candidate.
But what does VP Harris think about electric boats and sharks? Did Dana Bash ask her about that? And does she regret losing the endorsement of the late, great Hannibal Lector?
Perhaps the cannibal that ate Biden's uncle in Japan is actually Hannible Lector?
Perhaps the next time Biden converses with his diseased son Bo about running for president because Trump called supremist "very fine people" he can ask him to clarify?
I'll just summarize my thoughts instead of going over each quote one by one.
If Dana Bash had asked "why hasn't the Biden-Harris administration done that yet?" it would've been legitimate as long as she is taking credit for what the Biden-Harris administration has done. She clearly asked why haven't you done that yet?
I may not have been clear on the issue with her question regarding whether or not Kamala Harris "happened to turn black" recently for political purposes. The way she framed makes it unanswerable. She was hoping to pour an accelerant, to stoke a smoldering racial controversy for no good reason at all.
I can't agree that I took the IVF question out of context. I deliberately omitted that part because I think a drunk/reckless driving conviction is a legitimate topic for someone seeking office.
I think my reactions to recent political crusades attempting to turn personal life choices into public policy issues reflects how sad I am as a raised-Catholic baby boomer who thought we turned the page on certain "none of your damn business" issues long ago--I'm seeing them rear their ugly head again in a more totalitarian fashion than it was decades ago.

She's taking credit for so-called accomplishments the Biden administration made. So, she should be able to speak to things they didn't do.
I don't think they ever got to the question. We don't know what Dana Bash was going to ask. I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong.
You actually presented this one out of context. Here is the entire pertinent quote:
"One other question, because again, this is all new. However many days ago, this was not on either of your bingo cards, especially yours. You had to clarify that you had said that you and your wife used IVF but it turned out that you used a different kind of fertility in order to have children. And then when you ran for Congress in 2006, your campaign repeatedly made false statements about a 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving. What do you say to voters who aren't sure whether they can take you at your word?:
Trump talking point or not, it's a legitimate question.
Woops. While Harris was defaming Trump for attending the Arlington Cemety service in which he was invited to attend by families who lost their loved ones in the "successful Afghan withdrawl" ...
She forgot about the families and quite ironically politicized the ceremony herself.
Baloney.
Team Trump was the group that broke the rules, shoved and insulted an employee. People calling Trump out on that aren't the people politicizing the campaign event... that's classic gas lighting poorly executed.

That thinking is compatible with Trump's typical crazy word salad stream of consciousness.

All the things she says she wants to do she could have the last 4 yrs. Or at least attempted something. She did not. Why would we believe her now?
Her last 4 yrs is tells us what she will/will not do and anything else is just pandering to what she thinks will get her votes. Disingenuous.
You believe her opponent who said that Mexico was going to pay for a wall and that covid was no big deal that would go away by Summer. What's the problem when your preferred candidate is an expert panderer and whose entire persona is disingenuous?
Harris's opponent has a lifetime of examples that he will do or say anything to get what he wants... he'll even lie about a pandemic and try to overthrow an election.
But yes, why would we believe any other person when we could believe a pathological liar instead?

I disagree and think she couldn't do all the things she says she wants to do now.
Maybe a year ago, long for the campaign I remember talking about and posting an article about what she was doing as VP behind the scenes because she had low approval numbers and "wasn't doing anything". She was busy and productive at her job. Her job was to support Biden and his agenda. Her job really wasn't to "at least attempt something". She's like the back up singer in a group, supportive but not center stage.
You can disagree with the last four years, but that's Biden's agenda. In a strange twist of fate he's willing to play 2nd fiddle to her on the campaign trail. The excitement surrounding her campaign, which is dying down and getting more serious, shows a good deal of people don't find her disingenuous.
I don't think I can criticize her for pandering for votes because that's what a politician does. They lie, promise and fear monger. It's exhausting but she's no different than any other politician on the campaign trail.

It is patient of you to try to explain why the VP isn't the individual directing presidential policy.
I think Harris is remarkably different from a number of republican politicians on the campaign trail. She is the polar opposite of her opponent, Trump. She's nothing like RFK jr.

Sure. I can agree however people see it as the Biden Harris administration. Some will judge her on her performance as Bidens VP. No matter how you look at it.

Well I don't know?? Why did we believe the "experts" that told us masks were not necessary and then mandated them? Or how about not receiving a vaccine that Trump facilitated then mandating them as well?
Or the people who lied and said "Biden is perfect" then less than a week later questioned his health? Or that the "border is secure" then now it's not?
Trump tells exaggerating lies but so does the current POTUS and VP.
Stick with you non professional diagnosis of mental illness because in the face of Biden and Harris, the lying isn't exclusive to Trump.
Like politicians lying was not heard of before Trump. LOL Get real. 😆
