Harris on CNN: My values have not changed

Kamala Harris' election odds slide with bookmakers after CNN interview

 

Well you’re right I’m not heartless and also I’m not supporting Trump or the current Pub party.

I’m also not supporting Harris, another sign I’m not gullible.

She FOS.

 

I fully support your decision to not vote in this election. In fact, I think all true republicans should take your advice and sit this one out.

 

Oh I’ll be voting just not for POTUS.

I think many people should sit this one out.
Only real reason to vote Harris is she’s not Trump and the only real reason to vote Trump is he’s not Harris.


FWIW. I’ve been an NPA since I registered in 1992.

 

Walz killing it. Very clear messaging.

 

Even more from yesterday.

 

He’s no J.D. Vance as an orator but he will have to do.

JD is smooth…

 

He’s like the socially awkward outcast kid who gets invited to a party and just sits in the corner with his arms crossed the entire time trying to avoid human interaction.

Kamala Harris is cutting off Trump’s political oxygen

Kamala Harris is succeeding in accomplishing something none of Donald Trump’s adversaries have since 2016: Turning off his political oxygen supply by refusing to engage with his manufactured spectacles of insults and taunts, or with the often wholly substance-free issues that preoccupy the press.

As last Thursday’s CNN interview of Harris and her running mate Tim Walz made clear, she’s resolutely unwilling to let the press — or Trump himself — set the agenda for her presidential campaign. In the process, she’s managed to blunt the tools Trump has repeatedly used to undermine his opponents: drawing them into responding to his schoolyard slights, and turning the media’s pursuit of purportedly “legitimate” questions about his opponents — many of them formulated by GOP partisans — into political weapons.

Harris’s refusal to engage with Trump on his terms represents a break from how Democrats traditionally have dealt with him. In related news, her favorables continue to rise while an obviously flustered Trump flails at ghosts and searches in vain for a smear campaign that will allow him to regain the initiative.

It’s hardly a coincidence that over the past several weeks, the power of the press to impact the tenor and focus of the presidential campaign — and the power of Trump to do the same — has been suddenly thrown into question. By refusing to engage with Trump’s taunts or play by journalists’ rules, Harris has upended presumptions about politics that have dominated during most of the past decade. And that’s a good thing.

 

My values haven't changed, I've just become more like Donald Trump.
