I don't think it will change very many minds.
Forgive me for being snide; I can see why she calls herself a "Brat". She cannot control herself when she doesn't get her way.
I have to admire Baier's artistry. He offered Harris a chance to repeat her allegations that Trump is mentally unfit for the office and then IMMEDIATELY counter-punched with "...and when did you first notice that Biden was unfit for the office?" implying that she is not a trustworthy witness for that kind of assessment.
Harris was oblivious to how she discredited her previous screed.
Also ironic is that Harris pointed to the turn-over in the White House staff during Trump's first presidency as evidence that he was too horrible of a person to be POTUS. Meanwhile, the Harris VP staff experienced almost 100% turn-over during her tenure. Again, she was completely oblivious to the three fingers pointing back at herself.
I wish he had book-ended most of her answers by observing "So even though you acknowledged that the American voters deserved an answer, you refused to answer the question as-asked."
The Fox staff also deserves some recognition. They flipped a graphic up on screen while Harris was bragging up how tough she was on Iran showing that Iran revenues more than doubled under Biden creating funds for terrorism.
A final bit of snark
The Harris supporters flooded social media with cheers about how well she did. Many of the comments, strangely, used similar wording. What caught my eye was "...she entered the Lion's Den..."
In my corner of the mid-West, there is a chain of porn-shops that cater to truck drivers. It is (or was) called "The Lion's Den". Freud is undoubtedly smirking in hell.
It was a train wreck as far as the Dems were concerned. The interview was supposed to be much longer, but Harris's team frantically waved off the rest of the questions after she started whining about Trump did this and Trump did that, not once answering a direct question.
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating to watch from the standpoint of a story-teller.
DeleteHarris is a "narrative" person and dismisses requests for substantive answers about her platform with a wave of the hand and "It is somewhere in the 84 pages of my views on my website"
Trump can be both a "numbers" guy and a "narrative" guy but his narratives are extremely compressed and straight-line.
He would have answered the first question with "Our best estimates are between 9.8 million on the low-end and 16.3 million on the high-end" and let the chips fall where they will.
I don't think minds will change now either Joe. It's all emotion now.
ReplyDeleteIt was clear from the first question, which she took over four minutes to not answer, that she went in there to filibuster not answer direct questions.
ReplyDeleteAs far as everyone one social media with similar comments. I’ve always said the left desperately needs three things: An original thought; A thesaurus; a sense of humor.
ERJ, I am trying to think of the last presidential interview or debate I watched. I honestly do not remember anything past the 1992 debates, and only because of the outlier (Ross Perot).
ReplyDeleteBut no - at this point, no minds were changed.
I don't watch those things. Watching dog turds dry is more interesting. As for voting, I think the whole country has their minds made up about who they will vote for. Probably less than 10 or 20 thousand people who don't know that yet. In my opinion.
ReplyDelete"Trump can be both a "numbers" guy and a "narrative" guy but his narratives are extremely compressed and straight-line."
ReplyDeleteI broke out laughing. How about the weave?
Biden is the guy with the weave, if you mean artificial hair.
DeleteThere are very few people who by now have not decided who they are voting for. Harris supporters are quite simply immune to logic,fact and reason. NOTHING will change their minds. Roughly one third of society is functionally insane. And they invariably buy into the leftist bulls**t. But it's all irrelevant. The left OWNS the election machinery plus the agencies and entities tasked with keeping elections honest. The outcome of this election was determined in 2020 when the left stole that election and got away with it.
ReplyDeleteWinner winner chicken dinner.
DeleteLogic and reason don't 'play' in the left's calculations... sigh
ReplyDeleteThe only reason Trump won in '16 was Hildabeast thought Trump was an assclown so the communists(democrats) didn't take him seriously and run the full cheat. They will NOT make that mistake again. It will take an act of God for Trump to get back into the oval office. The cheat is strong.
ReplyDeleteAll of the above is correct. I am just astounded that Baier conducted a pretty fair interview versus the MSNBC adoration fest.
ReplyDeleteI actually turned a TV on in the daytime to watch. Lasted through her first question and went back to changing beds. The main difference I see is in the manner that Harris talks at people and Trumps talks to people. Trumps father took him to the docks and Harris grew up in academia with museums and is just not comfortable with us low class people.
