  • 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.

Walz to join Harris for interview. Why? Because she needs a babysitter.

So we finally get an interview with Harris. But it’s really not. They are partnering her with a babysitter…Walz.

Everyone who has seen any interview of any length knows why. She cannot be allowed off script. So it will definitely be interesting to watch how many times Walz has to chime in.

That's a pretty strong claim. Do you have evidence to support it? I saw a video in an earlier part of this thread. That video does not support your claim. I would be interested in seeing something showing she can't go off script, that she needs help communicating.

Then ignore that part.

What do you think is a running mate’s main job in a campaign?
To show that they are capable of taking over if necessary.

Joint interviews with both candidates on the ticket are common.
Here's an article about a Trump/Pence interview in 2016.
Unfortunately, Trump wasn't smart enough to recognize how Pence could help him.

Donald Trump spent his first joint interview with running mate Mike Pence skillfully evading Lesley Stahl’s questions, and answering the governor’s for him.

Hopefully, Harris is wise enough and modest enough to allow Walz to respond to the questions he is asked.

WAIT!? It is being pre recorded? You gotta be kidding. So they can tape for three hours and then edit a 60 min video to make he sound cogent?

You gotta be kidding.

What happened to live TV? Too scared? Too dangerous for her campaign??

I see. We've gone from
Harris won’t sit for an interview
to
Harris didn’t do her interview the exact right way!
with nary a change in gears.

Here’s a sampling of the word salads she has produced. Some of the scripted ones are bad, too.

Do you really think that this is a legitimate complaint?

Then why remove Joe?

The only reason Joe was forcefully removed from office is because an unscripted Q&A on live Television exposed his flaws. He did great at the State of the Union with zero questions and a handy teleprompter.

It's the same story with Harris - as long as she stays away from a live interview and stays with choreographed events - including this pre recorded advertisement being touted as an interview - she will be fine.

Put her live with no note and no teleprompters - she will pull a Biden. I think that is what they are scared of and that is why she will only do one debate. - they are terrified.

Trump and Pence did joint interviews leading up to the 2016 election. One for 60 Minutes on CBS and the other on ABC with David Muir. Both were pre-recorded.

and hundreds of live Question and Answer interviews - Trump would spend 45 min to two hours speaking unscripted to reporters, still does.

Kamala refuses to. That is the point.

Is there any reason why she needs to be doing any press conferences?
