  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler was asked on CNN whether Harris would commit to a press conference before the end of the month. He actually laughed, then replied, “We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election. … We are running a campaign that is built to communicate with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. We are confident in the plan that we have in place, and we’re going to execute on that plan.”

What he means by “we are confident in the plan” is that she is not going to answer any questions. None. She will not be out in public answering questions. Hide her. Stow her. Make sure she never says anything.

Because here’s the truth: Kamala Harris is not smart. The truth is, the minute you get her off the teleprompter, she is a mess of a human being

I really can't believe that you think you could actually use that argument. Seriously? Can we get maybe an 'in comparison to...' so we can see what standards you are judging her on?

VP Harris has held several press conferences during her career; she does just fine. Below are a couple of examples:

lol. Did you see her answer about inflation? That’s her going off script. She’s a train wreck. And her staff knows it.

The former president held a press conference today. There is a difference between fielding questions and answering them.

It's almost as if he has a Tall Tale AI generator in his brain that takes questions and tries to invent the most bizarre answers conceivable.

As long as people understand he's not giving answers, just storytelling, not much harm is done.

This thread IS about holding or not holding press conferences, and the utter uselessness of convening a press conference if a candidate answers every question with the most unbelievable malarkey.

Holding a press conference intending to answer with "whoppers" is worse than not holding a press conference at all.

No, it’s about Harris. See, I know what the OP is about since I’m the one who posted it.

I am not worried about press conferences. Did it ever occur to you that she is showing respect for her boss, the president? The policies are his. The leadership is his. She has been a loyal second-in-command, as she was yesterday, when he announced the first ten drugs Medicare negotiated better prices for.
She was gracious and grateful, leading the crowd in a chant of "thank you, Joe." It is not her role right now to take sole credit for the administration's accomplishments.
Thank God the American public has a candidate who models good behavior to the public--kindness, gratitude, respect, humor, optimism. The qualities of a true leader.

ALERT! ALERT! Someone is saying something negative about the coronated one! Emergency Deflection. Emergency Deflection!

I am making the comment tongue in cheek, but not every thread speaking even vaguely in the pejorative about Kamala has to have. “ but Trump” brought into it.

If those actions and mannerism disturbs you about Trump, why do they not do the same about Harris?

The thread is about Harris.

If I was a supporter, I’d not want her to do a press conference either. And I would probably make excuses as well.
