romad1 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Of course this will elicit screams from the people who have their reasons to hate Bush. If it torments Trump it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Remember, RFK Jr. not only helped drive his wife to suicide, he often took nude pictures of the women he was cheating with and showed it to his pals (the ones he goes Falconing with?). He also sexually assaulted the babysitter. Family name got him out of it. RFK Jr is a ****ing scumbag, he's a perfect pal for Trump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 BIG CNN interview is gonna end up 20 minutes of CNN production time, 30 minutes of commerical, and 10 minutes of interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Harris wouldn't take the bait when presented with Trump's complaint about her 'turning black' - when Bash pressed again she just said 'Next Question' Perfect. No reason to play the game by their rules. Edited August 30 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) I have only seen clips of the interview, but it seems like she did fine in what I saw... which, given that the Rs spent the last month saying that she was the worst interviewer in history, means that the bar was absolutely floor level and she likely far exceeded it. Someone correct me if I'm off base here. Edited August 30 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he has to do is tell his cult it will be a terrible interview and they will believe it without watching it. Fox News will air a 15 second clip where they take her out of context.

gehringer_2 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) 33 minutes ago, pfife said: She was fine, it was a waste of time. Nothing particularly memorable It goes back to the fact that voters have all the wrong premises when looking at candidates and the media just drives the misconceptions. How did Reagan win 49 states? It was not by being a policy wonk or giving a lot of chapter and verse on policy detail, it was by persuading voters that they could trust his judgement to do things in the public interest. And even the worst things that Reagan did - starting down the trickle down path - he did in the belief that it would work for everyone the way he described it, so even though he was wrong, the public picked up on his sincerity that he thought he would lift all the boats with tax policy reform. So a question like "will you embargo arms to Israel" is a fundamentally dumb one to ask a candidate. That's a level of situational detail that can only be assessed when the exact time comes that that decision is ripe to be made. It's not important that the candidate have a position on it now, it's important the candidate create trust in the public mind that they will make the right decision given the situation when it has to be made. The press complains, and a politicians opponents complain because it's much easier to play the 'gotcha' thing if a candidate allows themselves to be pinned down to what eventually becomes a "wrong" answer. It's fine that the opposition does this, that's their right, but the media misunderstands what people actually vote for if they think those position details are the core of what gets people elected and it's why the central mass of the public just tunes out on so much of the argument. Positions statements are useful to candidates only to the degree they help paint a candidate's philosophy at the broadest level, not the detail level. And of course for anything that has to be legislated it will be miles between the proposal and the finished product anyway. I think the Harris campaign understands this and they are basically taking a page out of "Morning in America." They want the campaign to be about creating an emotional aura that forms a break with the vitriolic politics since ....well pretty much since Gingrich, but of course mostly since Trump.
