Harris Finally Crashes and Burns on CNN
by Jeffrey Blehar, October 24, 2024
Even CNN’s own analysts panned the Democratic nominee’s performance. This was her first authentic campaign disaster.
...while Harris was predictably awful in both sit-downs ...They were water-treading exercises for the most part.
Last night’s CNN town hall, on the other hand, was memorably bad. This is the moment her campaign dreaded, the moment when the fundamental emptiness and inadequacy of their candidate was revealed for all the world to see without helpful edits or someone to bail her out. There Harris stood exposed — with an unpersuaded audience and a moderator in Cooper who handled his task without showing any particular solicitude for her electoral fortunes — and she withered in the spotlight. ...There are moments from this event that will haunt Harris in retirement forever should she lose, the sorts of ghastly stammering failures destined to go into YouTube clip reels ten years later explaining “How We Got Here.” (And if she wins? All is not forgiven, merely set aside — until the reality of her as president for four years takes its toll on Democratic fortunes, which will be quickly.)
...Harris’s answer to Anderson Cooper’s pointed question about the border fence to be perhaps the lowest moment of her entire public career to date,... in the specific sense that nobody who watches it — not even her fiercest partisans — will be able to come away from it with anything save a reflex-level revulsion. (For her friends, the reaction will be shame and desire to change the subject. For her enemies, it will be glee. For the vast majority of normal voters, it will simply be: “DO NOT WANT.”)
Cooper asks Harris: “Under Donald Trump you criticized the wall, over 50 times, you called it ‘stupid,’ ‘useless,’ and ‘a medieval vanity project.’ Is a border wall stupid?” ...She adopts a smug rictus grin and begins to half-cackle her way through a series of completely unrelated digs about how Trump didn’t succeed in building it. “Let’s talk about Donald Trump and that border wall. [chuckles] So remember Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it? C’mon, they didn’t! How much of that wall did he build? I think the last number I saw was about 2 percent, and then when it came time for him to do a photo-op, you know where he did it? In the part of the wall that President Obama built. So c’mon!”
Cooper then gently reminds her that she is now claiming to support a bill that would appropriate $650 million to build that wall, and then she remembers to rotely say she will support “a bipartisan bill” but also “fix our broken immigration system.” She didn’t even answer the question (“Is the wall stupid?”), but in another way she answered it with crystal clarity: Of course she thinks it’s stupid. Why else would she default to making jokes about it? (The photo-op dig was also devastatingly revealing about how Harris truly thinks about and conceives of politics: It’s all about optics and flash to her, the most authentically Californian part of her personality.) ...watch it all, feel the pain that every person in that audience and every live viewer on CNN must have felt in real time. With her sputtering, stammering smirk attempting to cover for her inability to offer a credible answer to something she knew she’d been nailed on, those two minutes could well end up serving as the epitaph for her entire campaign.
What was most remarkable about the disaster is how even CNN’s own analysts panned Harris’s performance as well, some with a palpable sense of disgust. Almost all of them were traditional media types (assume bias accordingly), and their reaction ranged from disappointed and bewildered to visibly unsettled. Dana Bash spoke about “what I’m hearing from people I’ve been talking to” — this is of course a polite euphemism for “all of my Democratic media friends, including myself and every one of you in this room” — and said, “If her goal was to close the deal? [pregnant pause] They’re not sure she did that.”... Former Obama grand strategist David Axelrod ... is a legitimately intelligent observer of politics and was perhaps the most devastating of all in his analysis, precisely because Axelrod still has the bones of an old-school Chicago journalist and therefore cannot bring himself to openly insult people’s intelligence despite his obviously close associations with Obama and Democratic politics. (“It was a mixed night,” he euphemistically summarized.) His review is worth both reading and watching:
When she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word-salad city, and she did that on a couple of answers; one was on Israel, Anderson asked a direct question, “Would you be stronger on Israel than Trump?” And there was a seven-minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking. And so, you know, on certain questions like that, on immigration, I thought she missed an opportunity, because she would acknowledge no concerns about any of the administration’s policies. And that’s a mistake. Sometimes you have to concede things, and she didn’t concede much. But I’ll tell you something, John King mentioned Bill Clinton; no one’s going to be Bill Clinton, but you do want to relate to the people in front of you, she didn’t do a lot of that. She didn’t ask them questions, she didn’t address them particularly, she was giving set pieces too much.
...that’s a solid indication that Harris truly failed last night. Her friends could only bring themselves, out of charity, to characterize it as a missed opportunity. But it is October 24. The hour is far too late. Given how little time she has left to change the story of her campaign, this was Kamala Harris’s first authentic campaign disaster.

It's the only play she has left to distance herself from the Biden admin record, her past record & statements, & her inability to give a straight answer about what she intends to do if elected.

She looks more like Bill Clinton's type. Maybe the poor woman was confused. Maybe Bill was there and trump and he had themselves a bimbo sammich?

And your comeback is an eyeroll emoji. For worse and better, the Biden-Harris administration has governed; they have tried legislative experiments that Americans used to expect from political leadership, some of which fail and some of which succeed.

Legitimate concerns. but I think Harris will do A LOT better handling them than Trump (and Biden has done better than Trump would have). Especially with so much of Trump's cabinet gutted and refusing to work with him again.tech37 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2024 7:52 am Good morning seacoaster!

In reference to your brainwashed hyper-partisan friend's listing, it's a shame he couldn't add a few other notable issues.
But first, stock market? As you know the market is not the "economy" and whomever is POTUS doesn't really effect the market. And, gains in the market the past couple of years probably has to do with cost-cutting layoffs that boosted profits as well as an AI bubble.
Unemployment dropping? Due to creation of more useless government jobs? And, weren't the books cooked re employment? https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/21/economy/ ... index.html
A few things disss just happened to forget:
1. Border crisis and all its repercussions. The Dems (specifically Biden/Harris) own this.
2. Ukraine war and its funding. Also, isn't it strange how Harris/Dems have embraced the once-despised neocons? Incredibly weird.
3. Inflation and actual economy. The looming disaster here is Harris's idea that the issue is price-gouging and no clue that pandemic spending the cause. This inflation also has effected real wages which were up pre-pandemic. What does over 1 trillion (with a "T") credit card debt tell you? Working Americans in the actual economy are really struggling.
4. Foreign policy ME. What happened to the Abraham Accords? Just look at condition a disastrous Biden/Harris policy re Iran has left the ME.
I could go on and on but you get the idea I'm sure. If I was "owned," ... fine by me. Peace... out!
