    I tend to disagree although let's not forget that it was Republican primary voters who decided to field the team from Riverview High School.

    Because she just says a bunch of nothing. The term "word salad" is the right one.

    No question. It's mind numbing.

    Its amazing "doesn't seem presidential" is still a talking point for anyone in a time where Donald Trump has been president already. Whatever aura the office had, if it ever did, is long gone. And now we are moving into an age where every president is going to have grown up in a time of cell phone cameras and videos. We will soon elect a president that was filmed butt chugging at a frat party.

    These threads seem funny after she verbally eviscerated Donald last night.

    And all the reviews were that she very much looked and acted presidential.

    Full disclosure, I did not watch the debate. I am going on the 4 years we have as evidence.

    You can put a screech owl up against Trump and it will appear more presidential.

    So I had heard about this comment. Thanks okie for posting it so we can all see the full context. So here is some of the context I got from it.

    First, she is quoting something her mom used to tell her. Bit of context normally left out. It isn't something she just came up with.

    Second, she then immediately explains exactly what she means by it. That you can't look at a single issue independently, you need to try and understand the circumstances that led up to that issue. Simple minds seek simple solutions.

    I can understand why some republicans thank it is "word salad." They have no ability to look at issues more than skin deep and don't care about the WHY of things, and the consequences of actions.

    Maybe you should actually watch her, rather than listen to what ever news source you use to tell you what she said.

    This clip is a great example, after watching it I am seriously confused how anyone could say that was word salad. It was a well articulated piece and on topic. She was talking to people who were volunteering to serve on an advisory committee, and she is talking about the importance of understanding not just what the problems are, but the circumstances behind the problem.

    I'll do you a favor and link a couple more of her speeches. Very presidential, and very ready for the job.



    Her speech in NC.

    "Maybe you should" have seen the gazillion times that I have said I only watch CNN ...IF I am watching the news ...and then really only for major events.

    Also we can play a pickleball match of back and forth videos all day. There are plenty that show her missing the mark.

    The democrats themselves didnt want her anywhere close to the ticket until fate for ed their hand.

    Democrats wouldnt nominate her now against a full field i bet.

    And it isnt just conservatives that feel this way....

    Then it should be easy for you to find me some videos of her ... full videos ... not clipped to take things out of context ... of her sounding stupid.

    I'll wait....

    Keep waiting.
    My opinion of her speaking ability is likely not going to sway you. And in this election, I dont even care enough to debate it.

    So lame. "You won't fight me so you must not be able to throw a punch".

    Look, I think she is plastic and fake when she speaks. She lacks the convincing qualities of a Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter etc.

    No biggy. You disagree.

    Wow.. that is really weak.

    You claim you can show me tons of videos showing Kamala "show her missing the mark" after I give you a couple videos showing her looking pretty damn sharp.

    You then say it isn't worth your time. I call you on it and the best you can come back with is "you find her fake." Still no videos. So I decided to let you off the hook, and just drop it.

    Then you come back for more?

    But still can't find the few seconds to find these videos of her looking "off the mark" or even "fake."
