Dana asked good questions. The issue was that she didn’t push on the non-responsive answer. Kamala was great at deflecting, where it seems she answered but didn’t. Sometimes Dana would do a good follow up, but wouldn’t press when she knew that Harris wasn’t going to answer. I get it. She didn’t want to look like a bully.

It would be great to see the unedited footage or read the transcript.

In other words, Kamala Harris acted like every politician, ever. Wow, talk about making the normal seem suspect, somehow.

-- A2SG, not like she's the only candidate in this race who does that kinda thing....

Dana asked good questions.

What will you do on day 1? Warm up question.

What is your position on fracking? Answer fact checked as lie....but whatever...

Do you regret making statements about Joe's mental fitness? Answer is a deflection. I felt like of all the questions, that was her real opportunity. She could have said yes... she regrets it...but she was wrongly putting playing for a team above the interests of the people.....that would have been genuine, if not honest, and I think more people would understand it as an answer.

Instead she doubled down. I don't recall her actual response....just that it was some "whaaaaa??? I don't know what you mean? Joe Biden is a mental dynamo!"

I recall her actually offering answers at one point.

I'm gonna have watch it again. I saw a lot of substance lacking and it felt obvious. I understand politicians need to say empty statements but they need to do so in a way that tricks people into thinking an answer was given.
