Independent here from ND. I guess I'm an alpha male, not voting for Harris...not because of anything other than I believe she's not up to the job. She would be very disrespected amongst our allies.
I believe Ed's full phrasing was "wanna-be alpha male." 😄
Seriously though, I agree with you that Harris isn't up for the job. It's just amazing to me that after the pandemic, "stop the steal," January 6, and almost his entire cabinet from last time saying Trump's unfit for office, anyone thinks Trump's up for the job. Also, our allies largely thought Trump was joke.
Bernard & John - best podcast ever, it is great to see two never-Trumpers squirm on video (for posterity) facing the inevitable re-election of President Trump and the complete collapse of VP Cackler's campaign. Everyone's mother would say when someone turns to calling names (Hitler, Facist, Unhinged, etc) the argument is lost. It's a great day that Lyin' Biden & VP Cackler finally pay the price for all the lies. Now - let's get Lyin' Biden, his brother, & Hunter Biden convicted for treason for taking bribes through a vast family money laundering scheme, maybe Dr. Jill, too. Time for both of you to get over your infatuation with Nikki Halley, she's a loser. Maybe a competent cabinet member.
John - time to change your loser hat for a MAGA hat, hah!! Your Jan6 bias blinded you both. BR
In all this, remember if Trump gets in, he will extend his tax breaks which business desperately needs to get investors. Most people in the business and financial community votee GOP (policy) for that reason.
I'll give VP Harris' performance and effectiveness with Brett Bair a B/B-. Her demeanor was good. Much of her substance was good. But she's got to learn how to answer questions effectively. Additionally, she missed opportunities to slam Trump.
Tim, you've got to remember that VP Harris is in the middle of a presidential campaign and that any Q & A has political implications. She can answer a question directly and honestly while affirmatively giving her position. For example, to the question of what she'd do differently from Pres. Biden, she might say (as she's previously and inartfully said): "One thing I'd do almost as soon as I was sworn in would be to bird-dog the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump had killed back 10 months ago. As soon as he was sworn in, Pres. Biden introduced a comprehensive immigration reform bill - one that was negotiated on a bipartisan basis years ago and which would provide for border security, take care of our dreamers in a fair and humane way and providing for a guest worker program so that our fruit and produce don't rot in the fields. Unfortunately, with covid and the economic crisis, Pres. Biden had to attend to other matters and the bill languished. I'd learn from that mistake and place a high priority on getting passed immigration reform no matter what other matters were at hand."
That's off-the-cuff, but it provides an effective and direct answer to the question. It could be tweaked
In watching the interview Bob I believe she answered, not verbatim to your text, but fairly close. I believe a good follow up question by Brett would have been "why did you reverse the Trump executive actions prior to working for a congressional solution?"
She can give opinions in questions. Obama did this very effectively during his campaign years. But apparently, she supports taxpayers funding sex change operations for convicted felons.
I agree with you guys. Why Trump has not embraced Nikki Haley is truly a mystery.
She was mean to him, Tim. Some things are more important than winning elections.
I am getting ready to submit my Colorado ballot. I am writing in John Daly for president, I kid you not. QED
Wow! I'm honored. Wait, are you talking about the golfer?
I thought you might say that, but nope. I will be sure to write in John A. Daly, the worlds' greatest author next to Bernie Goldberg. QED
That's Yuge!

Scientists will study that episode for years for its hallucinogenic effects on Trump sycophancy.

I would suggest that she learn to answer questions period.
