And she is the leading Democratic candidate for California governor?

I watched the whole thing and shes getting frustrated because she doesnt want to cater to the Trump obsessions, Shes saying ask me the questions about my stance so the voters can make a decision based on me. Also, she clearly answered the question- in multiple ways, multiple times.
Regardless this is just her saying Im done with the antagonist approach. I would LOVE to see the "other" interviews to see if the reporter treated them the same.

There is a YouTube link on page five of this thread with all the interviews

It’s crazy for me to say this but I think it is possible California could elect a red governor, if Porter is the blue option.

I agree. There's a lot of resentment toward progressives in California. Even San Francisco recalled their DA. If Democrats choose a rude, abrasive, and unlikeable candidate, they will be vulnerable as long as Republicans choose someone sane. People can mock Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he would win in a heartbeat over Katie Porter today.

There is no question in my mind that an Arnold Schwarzenegger would win over Porter.

What a lot of DCUM posters do not get because they aren’t here in CA is that for much of the state, from the very wealthiest to the very poorest, the quality of life in the state has degraded under Newsom and particularly the progressives. I don’t think I know a single person who thinks their quality of life in California has gotten better since Newsom was elected. Almost everyone hates ICE, even conservatives and Republicans, so that creates a serious opening, but a reasonable-sounding Republican who asks the question “Are you better off?” could do very well. The anger at what the progressives have done to this state runs very deep.

Do you think CA is unique in that aspect?

Well that’s a let down

Always Trump on these threads. I'm a woman who thinks our behavior should outshine his, but posters like you want women to sink to his level. You and Ms. Porter have much in common, I'm sure.

Trump is president, so he's going to come up quite often in threads, as he should. If you can't accept that, then GTFO with your sanctimony.

No, they have watched amd seen videos of Trump being nasty, it's just that they have double standards.

It’s not about the lack of sweet and agreeable. It’s about the fact she refuses to answer questions. She got easily flustered.

Yes, they are showing the same answers to the same questions. That is the point. What you are seeing is how calmly and rationally every other candidate responded.

Those clips — the comparison — will appear shortly in every candidate’s ads. And it is going to be devastating, especially combined with everything else coming out.

She’s an unstable liability.

Obviously, your standards are really low. I didn't vote for him because his standards are in the toilet. But you do you.

It doesn't matter what you voted for. This isn't a "me vs. you" thing, it's a "77,000,000 people vs. you" thing. Who gives a f*** about your standards that don't apply to anyone?

Trump walked out of multiple interviews. He got the job twice.

Porter feels like she’s being played for some reason, says she’s going to leave, and says “THANK YOU” before she walks out (read the transcript), and “OH NO, what a &itch, she’s tanked her run!!!!!”

I don’t like how she reacted, but I like this double standard about men and women even less.

You cannot compare the two. Kavanaugh was falsely accused of gang rape. That tends to upset people.

Katie Porter was asked a question by a reporter.

That’s not what he was accused of.

This is ok, though. Such lovely cheekbones and eye bags!

Yep.

Oh wow, a woman looks angry, she will be a horrible politician.

Like, is she threatening to kill her own voters? Is she unleashing troops on the public? Is she threatening free speech or religion or the right to assemble? Is she shutting media outlets down or suing them? Maybe she should so voters will support her, instead of voting for "that woman" or any woman.

WHEN IS THE DEBATE?????

That better not get buried in CA only programming. Although front runners often don't lower themselves to debates, Katie may take that approach being the frontrunner and all....
