Back in mid September I wrote the following after Harris’s interview on Oprah 1.
“In general there are three groups of voters. Those that are going to vote for Kamala. Those who would never vote for her Harris no matter what. And those are independent or still on the fence. The first two groups are going to be unaffected by a similar Oprah-like townhall, but a true independent may watch in order to help clarify which candidate he or she was going to vote for. For this group, these interviews are critical, and for those of us who believe that Kamala Harris is an empty suit, they are perfect. A candidate for President can only laugh and smile without actually stating any policies for so long. Perhaps during the initial interview, but certainly during a second interview, any reasonable person will realize that Harris has actual positions on very few things.
I can hardly wait for Oprah 2!
9/23/24”
Well, as anticipated, this week Oprah 2 came in two different forms.
The first was an interview on CBS “60 Minutes” conducted by Bill Whitaker, the seasoned journalist, who asked run-of-the-mill questions. Even though a lot of Kamala’s nonsensical word salad was edited out for TV, she consistently tried to not answer Whitaker’s questions. He repeatedly tried to get her to actually answer his questions, but to no avail. Any honest undecided voter who watched this CBS interview had to be left stammering, “wtf!” as Harris demonstrated that she had no actual positions on the main issues that voters care about.
For those of us who back a candidate that actually has real positions on the central campaign issues, this CBS version of Oprah 2 was a success.
Moreover, the second version of Oprah 2 was even better as Harris appeared on The View on 10/8/24. Everyone is aware that Harris knew the questions beforehand, as the modus operandi on this show is to have the questions written on small blue cards.
The very first question was a softball and Kamala whiffed!
Host Sunny Hostin, “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”
KAMALA: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
For months Kamala Harris has attempted to distance herself from Biden’s record — a record that is very unpopular with voters, and she gave that unbelievable answer! Megyn Kelly predicted that this answer would be repeated on a Trump ad within twenty-for hours!
With only 28% thinking that the country is moving in the right direction, it is amazing that Harris just affiliated herself with Joe Biden with “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
One Oprah 2 is better than the other Oprah 2!
