Last week Kamala Harris had an “interview”/townhall with Oprah. Let’s be clear, I do not watch Oprah … in fact I cannot recall ever watching Oprah! However, I saw many clips of this interview, and from what I saw, it was completely predicable. Whether or not Kamala had the questions beforehand turned out to be irrelevant as she did not answer any of the questions that were asked. She did talk a fair amount after each question, but calling her answers, “word salad,” would be doing an injustice to just about any salad. In fact after a few minutes of each answer it became almost impossible to remember what the question actually was!
Whether the question was about immigration and the border, or the economy and inflation, the answers were practically interchangeable. We learned again that she was from a middle class family, and along with her sister was raised by her mother and a neighbor lady. I challenge anyone to relate how this part of her past life relates to either the border or to inflation.
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!
