She is the sitting VP. She is being paid with tax payer money. And, she is not answering to the American people. And, apparently has no plans to.
She is scared. She is not capable of a coherent press conference or interview.
CNN: "Would it kill you guys to have a press conference?"
HARRIS SPOX: Kamala holds rallies so she can read from her teleprompter!
CNN: "A campaign rally is not a press conference."
HARRIS SPOX: "We're gonna be having a sit-down interview here before the end of the month."
CNN: "Can you commit to a press conference this week?"
HARRIS SPOX: No.
CNN: "Can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month?"
HARRIS SPOX: No.

There's good reason for Harris to brush off the media who mostly just want free content for their product.

You know what? I am a RINO. I'm a Reagan Republican and I'm sick of what has happened to the GOP. So, I'm voting Harris/Walz because I want the GOP to come back to sanity and to get rid of the "basket of deplorables" and return to the reasonable Republicans. MAGA has consumed the party and forced the real Republicans out. The only way to get the MAGA out of control is for them to lose elections and to show that they no longer have the ability to win elections. We need real Republicans to defeat MAGA in primaries. We need to elect real Republicans and not elect MAGA. The only way for the MAGA republicans to lose control is if they lose elections and no longer have the ability to win general elections.
So, I will vote for real Republicans in primaries and general elections, but I will always show up to vote against a MAGA candidate. Country (and state/county/local) before Party. Party before Candidate. I vote to save the Republican Party from MAGA.
I always find this a bit ironic since Reagan was the one who originally coined the slogan “Make America Great Again,” and the dystopian novelist Octavia Butler knew it had staying power because the president of the dystopian America in her novel The Parable of the Sower re-used it as well. A highly recommended read.
So, to some of us, Trump is an expected and natural outgrowth of Reagan’s Republican Party, to the point where at least one person predicted the rise of a Reagan/Trump hybrid thirty years ago!
Maybe on advertising and slogans, but not in reality.
Reagan would never have created an umbrella for the extreme fringe groups of society and included them and given nods to their dysfunctional causes. Reagan would never have associated with the Q-anon sect who believe that the Clintons were the head of a Satanic ring of pedophiles, or committed and supported election fraud, or pandered to Christian fundamentalists who want to put women into indentured servitude as baby incubators, or pander to right-wing militant militia groups that want to bring down the federal government.
I will give you that Reagan was somewhat antisemitic and did effectively say there were good people on both sides of the issue (his visits to German cemetaries vs concentration camps and his comment about victims on both sides was quite similar to Trump's good people on both sides in Charlottesville). And he was a product of his generation and times on race issues.
But Despite being 40 earlier than Trump, he was far more enlightened than Trump. Trump is trying to set us back more than 60-70 years beyond even the standards of the Reagan era.
