This interview is really showing how smart and sharp she is.
Dana Bash has been trying to trap her with a number of gotcha questions instead of asking her to clarify policies and such. VP Harris is unflappable.
She thinks on her feet at the speed of light and effortlessly answers while pushing her own policies and accomplishments. I am really impressed. I knew she was exceptional but this interview really showcases it. She reminds me of president Obama.

OMFG this is not North Korea. Harris is not Kim Jong-il. You people are sick.

Bash asked Kammie softly padded questions about things such as her flip-flopping - policies! - and her identifying as Indian in the past but as black now. Kammie weaseled and dodged, and Bash moved on without actually getting answers. Softly padded questions are not "gotcha questions", and weaseling and dodging are not "smart and sharp".
Kammie knew:
* What questions she would be asked;
* What her scripted non-answers would be;
* That Bash would not call out her weaseling and dodging.
Has anyone watched the "interview" for continuity and consistency breaks that would be artifacts of editing? IOW, did Kammie need more than one take to get her weaseling and dodging to match her script?

Yeah, it's hard to discern qualities like sharpness in a pre-recorded, possibly scripted and edited, interview. Hell, the "trap" questions may have been deliberately set up to be knocked down.

Bash's perfunctory handling of Kammie's non-answers suggests that the "questions" were casual, just-to-get-this-out-of-the-way, token CYA gestures.

That was "knocking it out of the park"?
A fantastic reply:
Nolte: CNN’s Kamala Harris Interview Optics Ridiculed — ‘Child at Adult Table’
On top of the vice president’s dismal performance, the optics and staging of CNN’s Kamala Harris interview are taking a beating.
The criticism, which is all valid, comes down to this…
A bizarrely dark location.
A messy location with scattered coffee cups.
Kamala in a gray suit in a dark location.
Kamala’s Stolen Valor Support Liar Tim Walz towers over Kamala, who looks like a child.
CNNLOL’s Dana Bash towers over Kamala.
Kamala is furthest from the camera and looks like she brought her dad to a job interview.
Kamala looks tinier than she is, as if she is barely able to get her elbows on the table.
Kamala looks like a little kid at the grown-up table.
Simply not presidential.
Tim Walz looks like a lawyer or chaperone.
Add to that a disastrous interview performance, which Breitbart News has already covered in-depth, and what you have is a total whiff by the Harris campaign.
To me, she looked small, frightened, and timid.
And you know the campaign chose this dark and empty location.
Kamala needs to look presidential and in command. Optics matter in presidential politics. You can laugh and argue that’s a shallow way to choose a president, but I would argue that knowing how to stage optics or hiring people who know how to stage optics is a reflection of the candidate’s competency.
My expectations were that Kamala would knock this softball interview out of the park.
Left-wing news outlet – check.
Left-wing interviewer who is totally sympathetic – check.
Six weeks to prepare – check.
Aware of the high stakes – check.
Team Obama prepping her – check.
Kamala is not dumb. Her problem is two-fold: 1) She has not thought through her policies because she is only interested in saying what will get her elected, and 2) She folds under pressure.
In short, on Thursday night, she choked.
Bringing Walz with her was a terrible decision that created much of that hilariously bad optic. Her answers were empty, even when the hideous Bash offered her softball questions with multiple-choice answers:
Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you’ve made — that you explained some of here — in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now, and you’ve learned more about the information? Is it because you’re running for president in a Democratic primary?
One can only imagine how poorly Kamala did in the parts of the interview far-left CNN likely edited out.
The optics, though. Sheesh. Was Kamala hoping that with Walz and Bash on either side of her, she would look like the ChairCackler of the Board? Was that the idea? Well, instead, the vibe was pure Bugsy Malone — an intellectual child failing at playing grown-up.
Meanwhile, the Trump-Vance ticket sits down with all comers. Former President Donald Trump is even doing hour-long, free-flowing podcasts, something Kamala could never do without imploding her candidacy.
If I were Kamala, I’d get a food taster because Joe Biden is tanned! rested! and ready to go!

This diatribe must be one of those "grammatical errors" that plagues Tim Walz? :banghead:

That's part of the scariness that is the DUmp and moonbats in general. They choose to worship whoever the elites put up in front of them without threat of imprisonment, kidnapping, torture ect.

I came away with one thought. She might actually be ****ing retarded.
-
She’s definitely an empty suit and way out of her league. If she was concerned about the country she wouldn’t have accepted the nomination. However it’s all about her ego which I understand is gigantic.
She’s a loser and if elected will be hungry with power and really make a bigger mess of the country than biden did.
:rant:

She was probably out of her league when she was a deputy DA in Alameda County. Her sole ethical (?) value is acquiring and exercising power.

all joking aside, I really do think she's stoned half the time

I'm sure all his false claims about his DUI arrest are also "grammatical errors". There are tall tales and there are outright lies. During his political career he hasn't been shy about tall tales, but his outright lies are pretty egregious.

BTW have I ever mentioned that I am a elite Delta Airborne Ranger Seal?

Compared to a DUmmie, Kamala is really smart. :-)

Not possible.
I did 20 years as a Space Shuttle door gunner and transported all those guys. I woulda remembered you if you were somebody who doesn't exist and was never here.

Way to keep up the OPSEC brother! :cheersmate:

And they point their fingers at others and call them cultists!
:rotf:

Sharp as a Nerf baseball bat, :rotf: :tongue: .

I mean really, she probably could have sat there saying "Fruit Loops" over and over, and some democrats would have praised her for such a sterling interview.

You're being dishonest. I was the pilot on the space shuttle rocket thing and we didn't have door gunners. We had Muffy and her (use your imagination) pole to distract the enemy. If they got close enough, we rammed them.

That's my official issue cover story, and I'm sticking to it. :uhsure:
