I have no idea why she isn't taking press questions. .

Quit it..just quit it.

You know damn well why she's not taking questions. I know we've been over this before, but it's perfectly alright to point out the warts on the candidate you support. It won't really affect the election and will lend additional credibility to points you try to make. It's okay to say she has a poor record of speaking without a teleprompter and because of that the Dems are shielding her as long as they can from one of her inevitable answers that make zero sense.

Aren't you interested in hearing from the candidate your support and how she'll perform in a pressure situation? If we're going to entrust her with the keys to this country, we should know if she's capable of getting in a room with the most powerful people in the world and representing us well...yes?

Looks like there are three options for debates on various networks. Hopefully the American people will get a chance to see it.

You guys are much smarter than me. I don't have any idea why she's not doing press conferences.
Maybe she's afraid. But I doubt it.
She's doing a lot of campaigning, and talking to lots of people about issues that matter.
I suspect that's far more beneficial to her campaign than something like Trump pulled today at Mar a Lago. Actually took very few questions, but spent a lot of time whining and complaining about all his various grievances...from crowd size to stolen elections; a constant stream of lies.
I understand it was only open to a few select reporters from his favorite outlets.

Didn’t watch the whole thing however I did see he’s happy to do 3 debates with NBC, ABC and FNC moderating.

Hope it happens. It would be more beneficial to hear them speak than have the media define them. Do you agree?

[paulxu]

Sure. I wouldn't mind hearing them both being asked (and answering) policy questions.

The ball is clearly in the VP’s court.

Will she play or not?

It really is this simple.

For months the media focused on Biden's apparent cognitive decline, highlighted by the lack of focus at his last debate.
Curiously, there does not seem to be much focus on similar challenges with Trump.
Forgetting his sort of normal rambling all over the place when he goes on and on, or bizarre things like electric boats and sharks, what do you do with a totally made up story with the wrong characters?
He did no go down for an emergency helicopter landing in California.
He was not on a helicopter with Willie Brown talking about Kamala Harris.
He did ride on a helicopter with Jerry Brown to view forest fire damage, and later suggest raking forest floors.

Now, there can only be 2 answers to this puzzle:
1 - He knows what he's saying is BS but understands his base and handpicked reporters are too dumb to question him on the obvious nonsense
2 - He actually believes he went on a helicopter with Willie Brown, they talked about Kamala and had an emergency landing; and is in cognitive decline.

Either one is not really all that great.

Gavin Newsom going on X complaining about the homeless problem in LA is some pretty funny sh*t. These politicians have lost their minds

Apparently, she has only agreed to the debate on ABC. I predict the moderators will challenge Trump on everything he says, while letting her give her work salad responses that don’t actually say anything. They won’t push her for more details or specifics.

After the debate, the MSM will have a collective orgasm about how great she did, how presidential she was, etc. At that point, Harris will say there’s no reason to have any more debates and will continue avoiding the press.

Was it yesterday, or the day before, when she said she would try to have an interview, not a press conference, set up by the end of the month. Seriously?!?!? If the media had any integrity, they’d be after her and her campaign every day demanding to know why she’s avoiding them and what’s she afraid of.

At this point I would be happy for someone to put policy or an agenda on her website. Less than 90 days from an election and people are voting for what (Yes I know she’s not Trump)? I’ve heard surrogates suggest she has changed direction on major issues. Yes a PC would be extremely helpful.

Well at least people know how to donate. For what remains a mystery…
