  • 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.

Is there any reason why she needs to be doing any press conferences?
To see if she can actually answer questions without know what they will be in advance.

Have you not read anything on this thread or the others?

Will you vote for a President never hearing her speak openly and not scripted? Will you vote for someone based on what amounts to little more than scripted commercials.

Or is her opponent so abhorrent to you, you would vote for anyone else and it really does not matter who they are.

Yes, and it seems it's only Trump supporters that have an issue with VP Harris not doing what they want her to do.

VP Harris has given many interviews and questions and answers with reporters over the past five years. There's plenty of material available on her social media accounts, YouTube, and elsewhere to see what her positions are on the issues. She's also doing rallies and making appearances in several states almost daily where we can hear where she stands on the issues and what her plans are for the future.

What I'm seeing from VP Harris and Governor Walz is a lot of positivity and praise for our great country and its people, along with ideas that will make it even better if they are elected. All I see from the other candidate is doom and gloom. If you listen to Trump, you would think this country is one of the worst places in the world to live, and a future without him as the president will lead to its demise. What a joke. When he's not insulting our country, he's insulting the people who love and care about it; including those who have dedicated their lives to defending it. Why would anyone vote for a candidate that talks so much garbage about the country he wants to lead?

Exactly.

Frankly, I don't think his supporters listen to him (or want to).

CNN is reporting the same - you cannot honestly believe they are Trump supporters. You have to plug your ears and close your eyes not to see or hear the growing outcry from the left.
VP Harris has given many interviews and questions and answers with reporters over the past five years.
Not ONE since she was gifted with the candidacy to the highest office in the country. Since that time we get 17 min scripted infor mercials in front of crowds and little else.

They are different from VP to Presidential Candidate - she is back tracking on major issues and not answering why. The response so far from the followers is - "She never said that" - then it is shown she did. Or "you don't understand what she means" and there is no chance to understand what she means, because she doesn't answer questions - she just follows a script.

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.
Lol, the title of the thread made me laugh. Too funny.

She's only been the candidate for president for five weeks. During that time she had to pick a running mate, prepare for the DNC and campaign. She really hasn't had much time to give any press conferences.

The response so far from the followers is - "She never said that" - then it is shown she did. Or "you don't understand what she means" and there is no chance to understand what she means, because she doesn't answer questions - she just follows a script.
What candidate hasn't backtracked on some of the things they've said in the past on certain issues? Maybe the answers you're seeking from VP Harris will come this evening during her interview on CNN. Here's a preview from that interview where she addresses your concern about her backtracking on some of the issues:

Yeah, it’s super weird and totally random that she is hanging out with Walz for no reason whatsoever while on the campaign trail. I hope somebody gets to the bottom of why she seems like she’s tapping him to appear in all sorts of things with her or on her behalf, because it’s a darn mystery to me.

Wow, it's refreshing to hear a thoughtful response, and she directly addresses her position on immigration. Trump should be scared. lol

And lied about how sharp he is.
I have seen what he's done and what he said. His mind is fine--as is his character.
His expressive language skills have slowed a little.

Democrats are not clamoring for this interview.
She scheduled it to give her message to people who won't vote for her, who will misinterpret what she says and find some other complaint to lodge.
But she is for the people--supporters and non-supporters, enthusiastic and critical, possessing good judgment or totally lacking in it.

I guess that’s because Democrats only care that she’s not Trump. Policies don’t matter.

Have you seen how crowds react to Walz? His authenticity, his warmth, how comfortable he is with his emotions, his huge smile and sense of humor?
I am sure I am not the only wife who teased her husband at the end of the convention, "Why can't you be more like Tim Walz?"

So superficial stuff. Thankfully I’m not like Walz. I would never support the vicious murder of the unborn.

I just watched part of his speech to the International Association of Firefighters. It was excellent. If you knew nothing about the guy or the campaign or which side of the fence you'd find his political beliefs you'd come away thinking 'Wow, I hope this guy is on our side'.

You are quite right about his authenticity. He doesn't try to be something he isn't. He comes across as a really genuine guy. Heck, I wish I was more like Tim Walz.

And then...watched Vance talking to the same crowd a day later, trying to convince them that Trump was for the working man. Was pro union. He was roundly booed for that. A dismal speech in comparison (Walz is still a card carrying member of the Teacher's Union).
