It was horrible to attempt to watch. I got about halfway through. I've been waiting for Harris to do a tough, challenging interview, and it was painful to watch the deflection and evasion. The main defense seemed to be to make Bret Baier look bad because he interrupted. Terrible.

Mostly responding with but Trump will not end well.
This is why her handlers have tried to make her candidacy about vaporous "feelings". Even low info voters can see that she's got no policies to offer, except more of the same
Kamala Harris is not ready for prime time.
Donald Trump is apparently not the only person who thinks he won in 2020. Harris keeps acting like he did and she's running against an incumbent.
Pfft, why duck out halfway through a short interview? From what I see, nothing she said was anything like the grind President Trump routinely takes on.
Train wreck. He asked about when she first noticed Biden’s mental decline and she claimed he’s fine, then tried to say Trump is declining? WTF.
And she blames the border issues on Trump, acts like she did good because they proposed a border bill on the first day in office. A bill that went nowhere even though Dems controlled congress. And ignores the fact (which Bret raised) that the executive orders to undo remain in Mexico caused all these problems. Ugghhhhh
She "entered the lion's den" and "she was ambushed".
Was supposed to be 30 minutes or so of Harris responding. Harris insisted on 20. Arrived late in order to get only 15.
Did Baier ask about the increase in crime as corrected by the FBI?
Donald Trump is better at dodging questions that Kamala. She doesn't have the necessary charm to pull that off or at least minimize the harm from dodging questions.
Presenting more evidence whoever running her does not feel the need to be accountable to voters…for reasons many of us recognized long ago..
As if to prove the Harris brain trust doesn’t grasp the power of incentives, whether economic or other incentives, Harris agreed to the high-stakes Brett Baier interview because he has a reputation as a squish.
Unwittingly, they created the incentive for Baier to prove he’s not a squish.
Calling Inga and Bich and Freder. Hello?
It was a strategic triumph for Harris. The point wasn't to respond to questions but to list faults of Trump in every answer, with an audience of Trump supporters. Where else can she get that audience. She came off as a wife-bitch though, so something was missing in subtlety in the performance.
…or late night, or a breezy morning show.

“ Pfft, why duck out halfway through a short interview? From what I see, nothing she said was anything like the grind President Trump routinely takes on.”
Because it seemed like a good time to go do the dishes and take a bath, which I was going do anyway. Doing chores seemed more amusing, so I took the opportunity to get some chores done. Sorry that bothered you! I did end up watching the second half of it just now. Everything she said was something I have heard her say before, and it was nonresponsive to Baier’s questions so there was no value to having a good interviewer. It merely exposed her as someone who has absolutely no intention of answering serious questions.
She can't answer any questions. Let's look at some hypothetical questions:
What will you do on Day One?
Can't answer that, since she could ALREADY BE DOING IT.
What would you do different than Biden?
Can't answer that. Already did on The View. She said she'd do nothing different.
Are you a candidate of change?
Can't answer that. The next question is ... what would you CHANGE that you are already doing? And why not change it NOW?
She cannot answer ANY questions.
Her incompetence is irrelevant. Her Chief of Staff and Cabinet heads will make all the decisions. She wont have to persuade the American Public to do anything, because they've "elected a new people". At this point, the Democrats could put Porky the Pig in the Oval Office and nothing would change.
You actually believe Trump supporters watched that trainwreck and/or were persuaded somehow with kamala-la-la-la's ridiculous non-answers and evasions?
Did it work on you?
They are literally now reduced to attempting to "fake" bribe black men into voting for her by promising $20,000 "forgiveable loans" ... aka "bribes" ... that they know will be shot down as unconstitutional the SECOND she tries it. They're hoping black men are so high they'll believe this.
Can you imagine this vapid twit sitting across the table from world leaders?
Kamala Harris has proven time and again that she is quite ready for late night walking.
Still with head bobbing and vocal fry. I hate it. She can’t answer a question directly.
“If he wins, Trump will be a murderous Dictator” is the sole message of all the Dems and their wholly owned Media. Boy is that boring.
Yes, but now the mainstream media can falsely claim that "she took on Fox News and won."
Where is the orange felon debating? FOX NO CNBC NO ANYWHERE ANYTIME NO TRUMP will not go anywhere we he can be fact checked even if he knew where he was,,which after his last show is debatable. Do you think trump would go on MSNBC or any left leaning media format..NO WAY the guy is a 300 lb sissy afraid to face a woman who already made him look more incompetent then he already is. trump the father of IVF you cant make this shit up ....and the abortion King all together.. cmon man use your brain....
You’d better stick to walking yer doggie, Hardin. Justa walkin’ the dog.
Again, we're looking a mediocre woman who was picked by the Democrat Establishment to be Calf State AG and then Senator. She was almost invisible both jobs. After dropping out in 2020 and winning zero primary votes, she was picked by Biden, and she did nothing for 3.5 years.
Its hard to think of a more unqualifed person nominated for President in the last 50 years. But she'll probably win.
Final Comment. BB suprised me. I thought he would play softball.
RCOCEAN, close - they nominated Pork-Me the Pig….
JSM
And why the FBI only realeased the true numbers AFTER the ABCNews interview, where ABCNews cited their false numbers to claim that "crime is down."
Even Bill Clinton knows they're not vetting murders and rapists they're letting cross the border. So Kamala has pulled him from the campaign trail entirely since he's undermining her entire reason for being other than head.
I switched to the Transcendental Etudes a couple of minutes in.
Playing verious versions of Liszt Transcendental Etudes on YouTube they differ a lot, and I found one I thought was best by Boris Berezovsky.
In the film In Harmony the woman gave a CD gift of a set to the male lead, who said he already had one. The woman said this is much better performance. I wondered what set that was. I could find the DVD and search it out but instead asked Edge's AI or whatever it is
"what version of liszt transcendental etudes is recommended in the film en equilibre"
"in the film En Equilibre, the version of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes that is recommended is performed by Daniil Trifonov. His interpretation is highly praised for its technical brilliance and emotional depth." and gave a youtube link.
Pretty impressive answer, but it turns out that I still prefer the Berezovsky. less muddy. You can't trust Hollywood.
Berezovsky
Trifonov
Baier ought to have asked AI about Harris instead of Harris.
I believe that person was referencing Kamala Harris ducking out halfway through the interview. Her staff deliberately kept Fox waiting (they're not really waiting ... it's all a fake election stage anyway) and then ducked out early from her interview.
What I have learned from this article - Trump, while out of office, has more juice regarding the passing or not passing of bills than Biden and Harris combined. At least Harris thinks so.
Joe Bar - the head bobbing is force of habit, and, well, not a surprise that her vocal cords were fried….
JSM
Quit calling Kamala Harris the Orange Felon. She hasn't been convicted.
Yet.
Brokedick Dinky bravely facing a total collapse. Chin up, sssailor.
There's something broken in Harris' brain. Dementia, traumatic brain injury, heavy alcohol or drug abuse? There something, she is very much off.
Did you watch her ?
LOL
I did not think it was possible, but spittle-flecked Dinky has dialed the lunacy up to "11"!
If you'd have had your frontal lobe pushed back as much as she has by Willie Brown, you'd have some issues as well.
She's a long time inebriated buffoon.
Asperger syndrome?
I could only take about 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. Harris just wouldn’t shut up. I was beginning to wonder whether Brett was going to get to ask a second question before she ran out the clock.
Can you imagine how desperate the Althouse lefties/LLR-democratical lefties are right now as they anxiously await talking points from the New Soviet Democratical leadership?
You would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
She isn't ready for the 5 minute space between 4 and 4:05 in the morning.
You could have stuck it out. She only lasted 15 minutes (after purposely arriving late) before her team started screaming and throwing in the towel to get her the hell out of there!
Damn it, Mosby! Dat hanging curveball proved irresistible, lol. You beat me to it.
Your name is what she made do listening to that colossal goat fuck of an interview.
I can see why 90% of her staff quits in disgust. When they want leadership and direction, she gives word salad, and when they don't get anything done, it blows back on her, or it's not what she wants, she tears into them.
I can actually. Most world leaders are vapid twits. They could cackle at each other. I smell pay per view.
No, just garden-variety Asswipe Syndrome.
I don't agree it was a triumph of any kind for Harris, but I do agree with RHHardin about those two interpretations of the Liszt Transcendental Etudes and I am fan of Trifonov otherwise-though someone should buy him a sandwich.
"rhhardin said...

I've seen some silly responses trying to cover for a disasterous performance, but this guy has gone to a whole new level.
Don't forget her unapologetic plagiarism of ideas she likes. She won't do her homework, gets passed at you, only for you to find out she's using that one talking point you said one time.
The boss in Dolly Parton's 9 To 5 is a better leader than this ho.
The key isn't feelings but seeming to mean well. That's the women's vote.
Harris did an excellent job.
They're prepping that rubber room as I type.
How in the world did someone so stupid come to within a heartbeat of the presidency?
C’mon, Inga. You can do better than that. You have to. Before all you hold dear is lost.
Brett Baier immediately came out of the gate overly aggressive. He wouldn’t let her finish a sentence. He seemed to be trying very hard to prove he isn’t a RINO. He tried to make himself look like a loyal Trumpst. It was forced and unbelievable. What was painful to watch was this man who I thought was the most reasonable political commentator on Fox looking like a stereotypical gotcha garbage interviewer.
He must’ve realized that he had over done the aggressive act and seemed to tamp it down a bit. Harris held her own and more. It was dishonest to present the clip of Trump and Harris Faulkner without showing what Trump actually said about fellow Americans being the enemy of the people. Harris called him on it and made Fox look the the trash news channel it is.
Harris did an excellent job. Much much much better than Trump if he were to have been interviewed by Rachel Maddow or someone on MSNBC or CNN, that’s why he is chickenshit to face a tough interviewer.
Trump cultism has reached its Zenith here on Althouse.
But for mail-in-ballot fraud, you could stick a fork in Harris- she really would be that done.
Baier was completely fair with the questions- he was far less aggressive than any interview of Trump has been including the two Presidential debates Trump has done this cycle already. Harris' problem wasn't Baier in any sense other than the fact that he refused to let her dodge the questions. Someone finally fact-checked her just like Trump faces all the time and completely fucking melted down.
Agree
Go down, to my revised comment. Corrected a couple of spelling errors.
Agree.
Inga, if you want to see an unfair interviewer and how a competent person handles it, watch Vance and Raddatz. Vance conducted a master class. Harris failed first grade right here.
Harris needs to go back to the Senate where she can talk forever and nobody cares because they aren’t paying attention anyway. This job is way too big for her.
It merely exposed her as someone who has absolutely no intention of answering serious questions.
She can't. Because her answers aren't acceptable to voters
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - The Interview
It was like watching an argument with somebody from human resources. Not a good look ladies. Not a good look.
Gee, I wonder if Putin will be "'overly aggressive" and knock Kamala off her game as badly as Brett Baier knocked her off her game.
If you can't take the heat, sweetie ... go back to the kitchen.
Thank God someone as demented as Trump will never see the inside of the Oval Office again. Harris will be the next POTUS.
"You repeatedly said 'the border is secure.' When did you decide it wasn't?"
ouch
He asked her to provide an estimate of the number of people crossing the border. That's not aggressive. It was the first job given to her as VP. That's a softball question.
These people are just stupid.
bolded for emphasis
Baier treated her like leftmediaswine treat Republicans, disappointing. He allows Democrat idiots like Igna to focus on him instead of Kamala's stupidity.
Good on Baier starting with the issue that voters claim is their number one concern.
Putin, China and Iran are licking their chops at the thought of it.
Do you have a plan to donate your body to science Inag? Because human civilization could learn a great deal by creating a neural model of your brain with an electron microscope.
Holy s***! P-Inga is really going with that as the talking point?!
LOLxinfinity
Poor, poor poor poor kamala. Some white dudes somewhere are definitely NOT setting kamala-la-la-la up for "success"!
A complete collapse by this drunken airhead. And P-Inga's comment simply makes it all the better when one recalls how P-Inga claimed Joey Bag-O'Dementia destroyed Trump....only to be removed by the powers behind the scenes under threat (and NOT due to "courage" or "honor" or anything like that because what would a guy who showered with his adolescent daughter know about those things?).
"Why the Worst Get on Top," The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek... It was a revelation in my early 20s (having grown up under communism). Sadly, it is worth re-reading at this time in this country...
She is the least equipped person to be in this position, this close to being the President, in history. Can you imagine this slug, with Tim Walz as her sidekick, running the United States?
Seriously, as has already been noted by Yancey Ward (and probably others), if not for the mystery of mail-in ballots, this would already be in landslide territory.
Good question for P-Inga as well, since she has claimed the very same things on this blog only to turn on a dime (as in Animal Farm) when directed to by her political masters.
exactly. They talk as if Trump has been prez this whole time - with such powers! sadly -the left's stupids buy it.
Dumb and aggressive....childlike insistence
Would never happen. Kamala could literally go blue-screen-of-death and begin speaking in tongues and these people would spin like dreidels during Hanukkah.
Uh, no Baier didn't.
No just a few honest questions she had no answer to
Wow, that was a disaster. I wonder how many edibles James Carville scarfed down after that.
I particularly enjoyed the kamala-la-la-la-la screeching over and over again and I'm betting if a pet store somewhere was showing this interview that the parrots went insane.
He's got it on IV now......
Inga is seen here as the "Crazy" she is. No clue to what went on.
More to the point...
https://x.com/dom_lucre/status/1846709116397338805
It's too bad that Kamala's virtuoso performance is being upstaged by some boy band dude dying. Every reporter in America is talking about Liam Payne.
Not Kamala.
Remember, according to the Althouse lefty little brains, kamala-la-la-la is super-duper sharp and joey bag-O'dementia is his best self EVER and Elon Musk is just some dummy that got lucky.
Discuss.
I dunno, she just seemed like a smug, dumb lib bitch to me.
"Dumb and aggressive"
A high-school girl.
Dinky reminds everyone that Harris's supporters are dumber than she is.
CAPTAIN QUEEG FOR PRESIDENT
With neurons sputtering madly.
Inga talks more shit than Kamalala.
That is accomplishment.
He wouldn’t let her finish a sentence.
Maybe that's because she wasn't capable of finishing one. It's not interrupting someone if they're not actually saying anything.
Without mail in vote fraud the Republican party has 60 seats in the sentate and Trump wins 40 states.
I think what I enjoyed most about kamala-la-la-la-la's drunken high school airhead "interview" was the Joy it unleashed.
So much Joy.
Ooodles.
LOL
That's Althouse's rhhardin! In my mind's eye I picture him kinda like the Harding character in One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest, sitting in his bathrobe smoking, making droll, sexist comments to rile Althouse. He's a cherished presence in this asylum we seek here.
You’d better stick to walking yer doggie, Hardin. Justa walkin’ the dog.
I feel like there is something i am missing here. Is that along similar lines to taking your kids to the pool, or seeing a man about a horse?
It's not cultism you asshole.
this was an interview between Bret Behr and Kamala. Kamala is a train wreck.
Trump went in the lion’s den with the bitches from the women’s black journalist group. So don’t tell me he’s never been challenged. Or how about the guy just yesterday from Bloomberg at the Detroit Economic group. That guy detested Trump. The audience gave him a standing ovation.
Agree.
it's ALL True!
we are SO LUCKY that Trump didn't win back in 2016!
just Imagine what the world would be like if he had ever been President!!
also:
Vote Trump OUT OF OFFICE!! Eight years is More Than Enough!!!
Dinky... Put the pipe DOWN man! you've smoked enough!
This is why we have primary elections and an election season in which candidates must present themselves to the voters.
Coups just don't work, unless the fix is in. Which is why Kamala Harris doesn't really care how she comes off.
Because the fix is in.
professor lady so funny to get frustrated by candidate lady! must rove candidate velly much !!
Look at it from the continuously inebriated kamala-la-la-la-la's perspective: She was promised that she would NEVER have to face any questions that weren't fawning, pre-vetted and coming from a friendly marxist journalist.
And here we are, after obambi's "outreach" to black males backfired and Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon fake hunter Tim Walz's supposed capability to bring in masculine men has actually been obliterated by this pro-groomer, kamala-la-la-la-la had to venture ever so gently, ever so softly, ever so gingerly into a non-100% safe space with Brett Baier, a Trump hater all the way down to the deck, and she can't even handle that for 15 minutes before her staff goes insane to stop the "interview" trainwreck.
Kamala, like obambi, is very very very very disappointed in the failure of others......
is mistake to ask pointed questions.. simply ask what is your view on etc and let them run their mouth without restraint!! logorrhea is revealing of psychology
"it was painful to watch the deflection and evasion" She can't defend the Bden record, she can't come out as the CA prog she is, she is incapable of making an argument about anything, and she functions as a vacuous figurehead. So what else is she gonna do but deflect and evade? Get ready for four very paniful years.
Come to think of it, do any progs ever face serious questioning outside their prog bubble? Has Walz during his tenure in MN?
She still is an unserious upper-middle class middle-aged woman, though immaculately dressed, expensively coifed and jeweled, but still just a wealthy tennis-mom and wife of a Big Dick corporate attorney. Another AWFL, miraculously promoted to "presidential candidate" without any relevant experience, statesmanship, visible intellect, or fundamental political commonsense.
Harris campaign staff to get a vicious tongue-lashing tonight. Poor performance is never fault of invariably unprepared and ill-equipped Harris. She can't think on her feet, has limited memorization skills; looking at her academic record, it's evident she never was a diligent student, nor a diligent political candidate for elected office. Her prior election campaigns were in fact orchestrated "cake walks" for Kamala. Only exception was her disastrous 2019 primary campaign, and now, as she herself describes 2024 presidential campaign, "it's no cake-walk!". Yup, Kamala, it's no cake walk at all.
Where was the joy? She didn't seem joyful to me. Did she seem joyful to you?
No joy in Mudslingerville tonite?
Joy was so yesterday. Tonight she was all BRAT.
"How in the world did someone so stupid come to within a heartbeat of the presidency?"
Try: "How in the world can someone so stupid be within a heartbeat of the Presidency?"
Maybe kamala-la-la-la-la is just a "knucklehead" like Walz which renders them both susceptible to communist/marxist ideas.
"JUST IN: Bret Baier says there were 4 Kamala Harris staffers waving their hands back and forth to stop the interview.
“I'm talking like four people waving their hands like it's gotta stop.”
“I had to dismount there at the end.”"

I had heard about the British sitcom "Yes, Minister" (1980-84) but had never seen it until last night. Amazon suggested it, I watched 3 eps then Ep 4 this morning. The Minister, secretary for administration, is on a TV show. The interviewer asks him about a big broither type database. The minister responds with a word salad "That is a great question. A question many people are interested in because it is a great question." Then circles around like this a couple more times until the presenter stops him and asks him to answer the question "Beg your pardon, what was the question again?"
It was exactly the kind of word salad we see daily from Kamala. I even started writing a comment about it in the earlier thread but got distracted.
Then I saw how this interview started. Kamala answered almost word for word the same as the minister. Does she prep for these things by watching "Yes, Minister"
Terrific show, btw. Not just Kamala's interview but Yes Minister as well.
I can imagine that the next 20 days we'll be seeing clips from the interview followed by "I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message."
John Henry
Great job by Baier. Her campaign must be pretty desperate to subject her to that kind of humiliation.
"Democrats Wondering If It's Too Late To Go Back To Joe Biden" https://buff.ly/4f6MNzh
--Babylon Bee
Would have been really cool if instead of wrapping early, because Kamala arrived late, they had given her the whole 30 minutes. Then at 6PM Fox could have announced that because she arrived late, the interview would run at 6:30 or even 7.
They really let her off easy by truncating the interview.
John Henry
The Sloshy KH: "Come on Brett. You know what I mean. You know what I mean."....begging for Brett to throw her a lifeline for a basic question....
BB: "Actually, I don't"
No one let her off easy in terms of time. After 15 minutes she was cooked and her staff would have rushed the stage to save her from the astonishing incompetence on display.
BRAT - Blockhead Ranting About Trump
After dropping out in 2020 and winning zero primary votes,
That is misleading and wrong. It makes it sound like she actually ran in a primary and didn't get any votes.
She dropped out before the first primary (caucus). She got zero votes because she was not on the ballot. Pretty much the same as me, Ann, Meade and RCocian
John Henry
Bret was master-class. She gets to brag that she was "brave" to agree to an interview - and then reneged on prior agreement for a 5:00 pm start and 30 minute duration. And Mika and Joe claims that he was "rude" and "disrespectful". I can't MSNBC enough.
Yep. Why RFK jr. said Trumps needs a landslide - (to overcome the cheating.)
Liars and cheaters - cheat and lie.
It's amazing to watch Inga claim Harris did well. The only possible way to claim that was to pull out the "Mean ol' Brett was a mean ol' poopyhead to virtuous Kamala and stabbed her in the back when she wasn't looking!"
If Kamala cannot handle Brett then how is she going to handle Putin? Inga assures us that Putin will be easy compared to... a Fox news anchor.
Yeah, Inga: you might want to avoid Kamala Harris for a while. She loved arresting and jailing people for smoking pot, and you clearly on on something pretty strong in order to defend that disaster. You wouldn't want Harris to jail you for the rest of your life because of whatever substance you have to be abusing to defend that performance.
Or maybe the check got an extra zero for you to humiliate yourself that badly?
It was horrible to attempt to watch. I got about halfway through. I've been waiting for Harris to do a tough, challenging interview, and it was painful to watch the deflection and evasion.
@Althouse, I feel your pain because I couldn't make it through either (and I did not even make it halfway) and I had no expectation that she would do well, or even competently. She in fact did not even measure up to my (very low) expectations.
"It's amazing to watch Inga claim Harris did well."
Kamala could have crapped on the stage and Inga would joyfully applaud. Everybody here knows this.
For the past week I've heard that Baier is anti-Trump, will ask softball questions, not hard-hitting and so on. Even kind of a chump.
So she goes on thinking "Easy money."
I think she got hustled and is not even bright enough to realize it.
The fact is I miss this shot, I walk away and I'm still a chump. (Harrelson makes the shot)
Whereas You miss this shot, you've been beat twice by a slow moving, geeky, chump." (A bit of trash talk and Snipes misses the shot"
One of the best hustle scenes ever filmed. Never gets old.
Can't imagine why Kamala made me think of it.
She's a chump.

I agree, Drago and that is why I suggested it. I wanted to see her staff come onto the set and literally stop the interview.
She got off too easy.
And they are thinking of 3 hours on Rogan? Bring it!

When the only tool you have is a hammer, use it to hit Trump repeatedly. Really, what else do they have?
Trump could pinch a loaf and Mason would happily slap it on a bun and eat it with relish, like a good Trump cultist.
She not only would have clapped, we would have gotten a post from Inga citing her medical experience and giving us a long comment not only on how brave it was to take a crap on the Fox set, to show her true vibes.
She then would have told us how the turd was just the right size, shape and color to indicate excellence in every aspect. Might have even commented on the shit that Kamala left too.

Ok I just watched the beginning of the interview on the immigration question. Baier was being really respectful, nothing like the Martha Raddatz interview with JD Vance. His time was measured and he was reading the question.
I'm glad I don't have to spin this.
It's Biden-Harris corrupt dysfunctional nation now. We do need to turn that page.
btw - Ana Kasparian, a veteran progressive political commentator and longtime co-host of “The Young Turks” web show and podcast, recently revealed that she left the Democratic Party after a traumatic experience.
Oh really?
Biden and Kamala could destroy the nation (oh look - they did it!) - Corruptocrat Cultist I-Nag would rejoice and open the window to breathe in the burning tire fumes.
She couldn’t come off as likeable or reassuring. No one expects her to answer the questions but she made Hillary look like Dinah Shore

delusional says Jim Acosta
Inga, the Bitter Clinger. WAKE UP!
You'll have to pull those hilariously false gaslighting lies from Inga's cold dying fingers........
Dinah Shore! Worked for Burt.
I noted in a comment here a few days ago that having Harris go on Fox News for an interview was probably going to be the worst decision since having Joe Biden debate Trump. I think that I was correct.
I felt a great disturbance in the democratical narrative force, as if millions of mindless NPC gadfly/P-Inga type's voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Kamala: "But Trump Trump Trump."
Inga: "Harris did an excellent job. Much much much better than Trump if he were to have been interviewed by Rachel Maddow or someone on MSNBC or CNN, that’s why he is chickenshit to face a tough interviewer. Trump cultism has reached its Zenith here on Althouse."
Good for the DNC. They got that talking point out pronto.
There is also, "Yes, Prime Minister." There one hopes parody doesn't become our reality, John Henry!
One phrase in the talking points email was "Out of the gate..." which has popped up in multiple comments between 7:20 and 7:45 Eastern time. Cliche metaphor from journalism discourse that ordinary people don't normally use unless prompted in some way.
I have a professional interest in this kind of stuff: which particular bits of a talking-points-email stay unchanged in the re-write? Which pieces are memes that preserve themself in their own forms?
One of my hypotheses is that the things that get precisely replicated are familiar but not a normal part of the writer's spoken idiolect. They don't stand out enough to be obvious things to change to avoid precise quoting, but they persist in their form because the writer doesn't realize that they are recognizable.
"Out of the gate" is a dead metaphor from horse-racing that persists in journalism. I'm guessing the talking-points emails are written by former journalists who are now in the PR business.
Baier certainly could have been tougher.
Trump could pinch a loaf and Mason would happily slap it on a bun and eat it with relish, like a good Trump cultist.
I'm calling it. Rubber room if Trump wins. She's that close to the edge.
And she's not the only one. These people are going to absolutely lose their shit.
Watching it now. She will not stand up for their border policies.
Apparently the spelling errors you corrected weren't the real problem here.
Just imagine that Trump had said "cakewalk."
LOL. This is the nincompoop they’re going to fraud into office. I’m pretty sure we will never see a press conference with “president” Kamala Harris. I wonder if her handlers will even tell her what decisions they make for her. Why bother, she wouldn’t understand anyway.
I thought regencies were for underage royalty. Hah. Joke’s on me.
What a whiny tone of voice.
Baier certainly could have been tougher. I kept waiting for him to shut her filibusters down and get back to the question at hand. Didn't happen.
Now she's faking anger.
Harris announced her candidacy in Jan 2019 and and did not suspend her campaign till December 2019. She attended 5 nationally televised debates and spent millions. Implying she didn't get votes because "she didn't try" is misleading. She dropped out before Iowa because polls showed her campaign was going nowhere.
I doubt any undecided male was persuaded by this performance. Undecided females might view it differently. A friend says this was like the worst argument he ever had with his wife.
Anybody who's been in politics long enough can dodge questions. In 2020 Harris could dodge questions, and even answer them. This time, she's saddled with all of Biden's failures and doesn't have anything else to offer.
Every heterosexual man that saw this tonight recognized it for exactly what it was. We've all been there, and like tonight, it will eminently degrade our impressions of "her" permanently.
That was ugly. Breakup ugly.
Well, she was completely dishonest on the border. The very first question was, 'how many people have you let in?'. Simple question. Surely she knows the answer. She wouldn't give it.
"Well, she was completely dishonest on the border. The very first question was, 'how many people have you let in?'. Simple question. Surely she knows the answer. She wouldn't give it."
Leftards see dishonesty as a strength ("By any means necessary" "Whatever it takes" "The ends justify the means") when used to further the cause. That's one reason they're so comfortable with Islamism.
Inga, Freder, and the risible Dinky must face facts: If Harris if bores and exasperates the cruelly neutral Althouse, then their candidate is a three-alarm dumpster fire.
Now some after hours angry boozing...
That's the thing. Baier didn't have to be tougher. He just had to act like an honest journalist.
"JUST IN: Bret Baier says there were 4 Kamala Harris staffers waving their hands back and forth to stop the interview.
“I'm talking like four people waving their hands like it's gotta stop.”
That's interesting! I assumed it was Fox people calling for a wrap because of commercials.
Why would he pay any attention to Harris people?
Sounds a lot about how the press used to describe Reagan - just a puppet for his staff. Could use that sort of staff again. /sarc tag
Cruelly neutral my ass.
Tanned, rested, and ready!
Filibuster and run clock. Post-interview, Bret Baier shared w/Fox colleagues that she showed up 15 minutes late, pushing the turnaround time to get it on-air quickly as his News Hour approached. Who remembers that the last time Comey appeared on the same program, he “was caught in traffic” and missed the first 35 minutes of Baier’s show? That is no coincidence for a VP, or fucking FBI Director who get a police escort..
"Inga
Cruelly neutral my ass."
LOL! Love you, Inga! Poor Althouse can't win- She calls it cruel neutrality, but both the lefties and the righties just call it cruel!
Trump tends not to actually dodge questions as such. He pivots to what he wants to address and then meanders back to answer the question. But if you get distracted by the first part of his answer you may perceive that to be the case.
When you're effectively the incumbent, blaming the challenger doesn't come off well.
She was scared. She arrived late, and left early. She blew it big time, and if there ever was a chance for her to do Rogans show, that ended last night. She can't handle it.
Trump's last two "town halls" were packed with Trump supporters (including some former Republican candidates) reading favorably written questions from identical note cards that were designed to make Trump look good. But Trump got bored and played music for about 40 minutes near Philly with puppy-killer Kristi Noem attempting to be the MC. Then he conveniently held an all-women town hall in Georgia with Fox anchor Harris Faulkner hosting the show. All female questioners were again reading pre-written questions. Trump didn't disappoint telling 19 outragious lies including one where he invented IVF.
Harris put up with Brett Baier's rude questioning and interruptions while answering all questions given without advance knowledge. When Harris answered a question by noting Trump's comment about "enemies from within" getting handled by our military, Baier played a clip of Trump's supposed answer to that comment from Faulkners broadcast that denied, but didn't answer his "enemies from within" quote.
With $787 million out of pocket and more to come, Fox still lies for Trump.
THIS sums it all up...

"That's Althouse's rhhardin! In my mind's eye I picture him kinda like the Harding character in One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest, sitting in his bathrobe smoking, making droll, sexist comments to rile Althouse. He's a cherished presence in this asylum we seek here."
Why doesn't he knock off the bullshit and get to the point?
"Brett Baier immediately came out of the gate overly aggressive. He wouldn’t let her finish a sentence...."
Why didn't she take command and show leadership? She's offering to defend us all from Putin and Xi, so she ought to have easily dominated Baier. But she jibberjabbered and acted afraid of the tough questions he asked. I wanted answers. Did she think Trump's executive orders on controlling the southern border should have been left in place? That was the "aggressive" question Baier began with, and he insisted that she say what she'd have done differently from Biden. We never got an answer. And now all her friends are straining to defend HER. I want her to defend US. It's absolutely pathetic. I believe she disqualified herself last night.
Trump attended your silly debate, and David Muir interjected to make a claim about crime statistics that the FBI has now corrected. The FBI and Muir lied for Harris and it wasn't enough.
“Well, you phoned me you'd be late
'Cause you took the wrong express
And then you walked in smiling
With your lipstick all a mess
Oh, let me say to you, little mama
Woah, I've got news for you
Ah, your story don't ring true, lil' girl
Yeah, I've got news for you”

I thought Baier missed a trick by leading with immigration. He went full frontal against something she was prepared to deflect. He should've gone with the "most dangerous adversary" one. That put her on her heels, and gave a great opportunity to drive a wedge into her base with her support of Israel. Then hit her with immigration when she wasn't expecting it.
DEI theory is not the problem. DEI implementation is the trainwreck. Anyone who had been in the workplace in the last 50 years knows people of color not only capable of brilliance but who brilliantly do their current job day after day. When they try to move forward, they are stopped by training or education requirements that are often unnecessary to do the job they want and are suddenly waived for another candidate when convenient.
Harris was flagged early on to fill a role and did so as directed. She filled the role needed at the time by someone else. She could have taken the time learn the job(s) backwards and forwards but chose not to do so. When Biden put her "in charge of the border" her office immediately pushed back limiting the scope of the job. If Biden had been competent, he would cleared up that confusion immediate but he was more interested in the optics than the facts. He just "knew everybody hated Trump as much as he did" and would fall into line behind him.
The problem was Trump was actually not a bad president. He made some some horrendous hires and lacked personal self control in comments, but he made some good decisions as well. The Abraham Accord was a possible new solution to the Middle East. It was allowed to languish for no other reason than the Biden/Harris administration had an inflated idea of their own importance.
Where did they get that? From being flagged early for jobs they were weren't qualified for and being passes along.
Gadfly - Harris put up with Brett Baier's rude questioning and interruptions while answering all questions given without advance knowledge.
Shorter Gadfly - "You answered every question Joe - er, Kamala!"
