Harris comes off well. I am glad to get to vote for her and am glad that our party doesn’t nominate empty treasonous suits like the GOP does.

This was my observation as well. All the questions were literally things I have heard on this forum and on social media from MAGAts.

Yup. Bash let the Trump campaign be her assignment editor. Sad.

Typical Dana Bash. An entree of GOP/Moscow talking points with a side of “are you black enough?”. With an appetizer of sycophant Maggie Haberman sharing Trump’s comments after watching the Harris-Walz interview, BEFORE THE INTERVIEW AIRS!!! I’m surprised that for dessert Elisabeth Bumiller and Maureen Dowd didn’t crawl out of their holes to tut-tut about Hillary’s emails and Al Gore’s dancing.

Nonetheless, Harris handled it well. Definitely commander in chief material.

Not really. He's such a fire hose of obvious, demonstrable lies, there's no point.

He used IVF as a term instead of IUI because IVF is something most people have heard of whereas IUI isn't.
He attained a rank and served in that capacity for months, and then retired, at the rank below.

These are not "lies" and certainly not like any of Trump's thousands of obvious lies.

He had "Command Sargent Major" stamped on his Congressional challenge coin. That's stolen valor. He claimed to have "carried a weapon of war, in war". That's stolen valor, not bad grammar.

That isn't stolen valor. He achieved the rank and served in the rank, but retired a rung lower.

He did not achieve e9. He wasn’t promoted to e9 then demoted at retirement. He never went beyond e8. He is a gross liar. You are an enabler.

He served in an e9 capacity for several months, but did not do the coursework to codify the rank, so when he retired, he retired at his previous grade. this is pretty well documented.

Again-being frocked in anticipation that you will attend the SMA is not a promotion. The promotion occurs after successfully completing SMA. He served as an e9, made the e9 list, but was always an e8. That’s facts.

The coursework was attending SMA, which he either declined to do or dropped out of. He doesn’t specify which he did.

You don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t get promoted until you complete the coursework. He was never promoted to e9.

He wasn’t an e9 except in name for a few months. He wasn’t an e9 who was demoted to e8 at retirement; he was an e8 that acted as an e9 for a few months. He was never promoted.

You don't know what YOU are talking about. He received the promotion - this is a fact, served in the role for several months, but then retired before completing the coursework. He formally retired in the earlier rank. This has all been long since documented and you are being obtuse about it.

Seriously, stop trying to make "Swift Boat 2.0" happen.

Her replies didn’t have the depth or nuance I expected from someone who has been part of Biden administration for 3.5 years.

When she talks about spending HOURS in the situation room, I suspect she was being honest—more than one. Less than five.

Okay, she's a mediocre candidate.

But she's still much better than the alternative. Trump is a nearly an octogenarian (and will be part-way through the next presidential term) and is rapidly declining both mentally and physically. This job is one of the most stressful and aging jobs and he will not be able to survive competently for a four year term. Biden was much more stable both physically and mentally in 2020 than Trump is now and look where Biden is. The same will happen to Trump. It is quite likely that should Trump be elected, Vance would have to execute 25A to have Trump removed from office for age-related incompetency and then we would be left with Vance who is even less qualified than Harris to assume the office. At this point, Trump is not fit for office and he will only get worse, not better.

Trump did not pay attention to his daily briefings when he was last President. He will have even less attention span for them now and we would be risking a aging senior who needs to have elder care making uninformed decisions for national and international events and having access to the football. Additionally, an aging senior who has alienated our European and NATO allies, has courted relationships and proudly touted relationships with Russia's Putin and North Korea's Kim. You are risking world-wide political instability entrusting the US international relations to someone in his state of age-related decline.

I hate to have to 100% agree with you. I'm so angry that these are our 2 choices for president.

I'm a never Trumper and will vote for Harris because of the two she's the better (I am in Maryland so even if I was MAGA it wouldn't matter at the voting box). But I wish we had 2 better choices. Walz seems like much better VP than Vance though. MUCH better.

She's a walking Trump ad.

Inorder to bring inflation down you would need deflation. We haven't had deflation recently.

they brought down the rate of inflation which means prices are rising at a lower rate. It is now 2.9% which is getting closer to fed target of 2%.

+1 funny how he embellished his military service but was much more modest about his DUI. I mean, 96 MPH while wasted is nothing to shake a stick at.

Agreed. I was happy that she at least asked several “tough” questions about the border and inflation - and reminded Harris that the past four years she seems so eager to “move forward” from were the Biden-Harris administration…

But you’re right about Bash’s barely disguised fury while interviewing Vance. She knows what Democrats expect of her.

How does Bash still have that job? She can't clearly articulate new view points on any CNN round tables. Really surprised she got the interview!

Wait, what? I had no idea about this. I can’t even imagine going 96 while sober, much less drunk! JFC.

Neither bother me. What's worse raping a woman or ordering an angry mob to kill your VP?

Savannah

They bused in the crowd from Atlanta.

Sure they did dummy, just a four-and-a-half-hour drive away!

They did.

The local news reported widely on this.

Was it the lamestream media? Fake news! MAGA!

No it was the local news station. WJCL.

they interviewed people on the busses.

That defeats the purpose. I thought they were trying to get the Savannah voters

She's got the Savannah voters in my family.

Mine as well. And they are a retired military family.

Please be careful here. Savannah is a term used in the American south to categorize an African American’s skin tone- a lighter tone like Kamala. I am sure you didn’t mean it that way but what you said is triggering to African Americans from the south.

Interesting. I am ADOS and this is new to me. I have family in that area of Georgia and Atlanta, as well as the Carolinas. I have no interest of doing the research, but will reach out to cousins to find out if they've heard, specifically cousin in Savannah. Family runs the spectrum on the various hues of the beauty of Blackness.

It's also a city in GA where the Vice President spoke to 9,500 people yesterday.

Are you telling African American people that they cannot be offended by your racist comment?

DP I am the African-American who said she has retired, military family in Savannah voting for Harris/Walz. How is my comment racist. How is it racist when my cousins say they live in Savannah. What the hell am I missing, and frankly I don't think you're Black. Don't speak this madness in our name.

She’s as maga as the rest of CNN is now. You’re cute as you attempt to play the “LiBrUl MeDiA” card.

In fairness, he quit drinking after that DUI.

It's interesting how many of our leaders don't drink. Trump doesn't drink. Biden doesn't drink either. George W Bush too stopped drinking shortly after his DUI. It's almost like a job requirement.

Hmmmm,

Harris/Biden did not do a darn thing to bring down inflation!

Nothing! What did they do? What?


The person who brought down inflation was the Fed. By raising interest rates and cooling down the economy. The inflation rate, although better now, should have been even lower if Biden did not spend like crazy past few years and print and devalue the dollar. One example is printing $800 billion for the IRA that did NOT need to be spent at the time.

Even if the inflation rate now is 2-3%. The prices are Still rising!!!!! The prices are not going down and the previous years of 5-9% inflation are still priced into you cost of milk, eggs, wood, housing products.

For those who are actually interested in policy and economics, rather than reflexively slinging mud at their less preferred candidate, academics say that neither Trump nor Biden was really to blame for inflation.

‘Neither Trump nor Biden is to blame’
Global events beyond Trump’s or Biden’s control wreaked havoc on supply and demand dynamics in the U.S. economy, fueling higher prices, economists said.

There were other factors, too.The Federal Reserve, which acts independently from the Oval Office, was slow to act to contain hot inflation, for example. Some Biden and Trump policies such as pandemic relief packages also likely played a role, as might have so-called greedflation.
