Kamala's Fox interview was a disaster!!

Oh please. Kamala gets the tiniest bit of pushback and suddenly the interviewer is "rude." Maybe if she'd shown up on time and given more than 20 minutes, they could've had a more in-depth discussion. Kamala was wholly unprepared for predictable questions, such as: "When did you notice a decline in Joe Biden?" And these questions you take issue with were on major topics that matter to voters. Immigration for example. I know Kamala is used to talking about her favorite Doritos and the house she grew up in as a middle class kid, but voters need to hear her on the issues. Come on Symone.
What the hell does Trump do. He fights with his interviewers and says nonsense. Kamala handled it better than Trump would've. She got up and left rather than spew nonsense for 2 hours.
Yes, I would have preferred that Brett Baier turned it down one notch on the dial. I didn't care for the transgender surgery in prison question. That's just red meat for the Fox News audience. Immigration, Biden's decline and how would you be different were all necessary questions.
That's an oversimplification. Trump often says things that liberals and many times the establishment don't want to hear. I actually don't see him fighting with interviews. Rather I see him challenging their biases and preconceived notions. Does he go on too long? Yes. Did he go on too long in 2016? Yes again.
So let's be fair to you. What was the big thing Kamala Harris said about her policies in the Brett Baier interview? What was the one takeaway she said that you think should convince some undecided voters to support her?
Trump calls his interviewers "nasty people" and tells them to shut up. That's not someone who fights with people? lol
Brett Baier came out swinging. Where was her opportunity to talk about policy. If she was against a hostile foreign leader, she should sit there and answer the questions nicely while the other guy talks over her and berates her? She challenged his questions and then left as she should have.
Fair enough, but in the ABC presidential debate, the two ABC moderators kept on asking Trump J6 questions etc. They also fact checked Trump and didn't fact check Harris. IMHO, Baier would have got in trouble with Fox management, if he didn't give Harris a tough interview!!
It was Harris who showed up late to the interview, and it was Harris' advisors who wanted her to leave the interview early!! I also thought that Harris was quite rude and hostile to Baier.
IMHO, this interview won't get Harris very many undecided voters, to support her!!
That sounds a bit like a second-hand observation from a liberal commentator about a Trump interview. Do you care to post a clip of him telling an interviewer to shut up?
I don't expect Trump to agree or comply with an interviewer just like I don't expect Harris to comply with Brett Baier.
Actually this is an easy answer if you are paying attention. She could have elaborated on how she would manage the border better. Baier rightly pinned her on the 2021 failed legislation when Democrats controlled the Presidency and the Congress. If you're going to argue that the 2024 legislation was this big solution, you have to answer for 2021.
How she would deal with Iran was an obvious policy matter? It's a bit of a trap because Kamala's caught between her Jewish and Muslim supporters. Interviewers don't have to assist campaigns.
And last but not least, the big opening was.........what would you have done differently than the Biden Administration? You don't have to denounce the Biden Administration, but it's an excellent moment to lay out your plans.
Both candidates are not great communicators so Trump's lack of skill is not being disputed.
