In a sit-down interview with CNN’s Dana Bash last night that was about as easy as it gets (pre- recorded, edited and with VP candidate Walz by her side), it was obvious that she still sucks at speaking and she’s unwilling to take a stand on most policy issues.
The interview was done in Georgia while Kamala is on her “bus” tour and while she sat there, staring ahead and searching for words, America could see that her bus failed to leave the station.
The reviews on the interview, even from Democrats (ones who are honest, at least), aren’t very good. Former Obama strategist David Axelrod delivered a bad review during CNN’s post-game analysis, saying disappointingly that VP Harris didn’t move the ball forward much.

Former Bush advisor Scott Jennings issued a stark warning, predicting that Donald Trump will be “salivating” ahead of their first face-to-face showdown at the September 10th presidential debate. And frankly, I couldn’t agree more. Unless Kamala dramatically steps up her game, Trump is going to mop the floor with her – no matter what the rules of the debate are.
Taped, edited, and still a disaster: Kamala’s interview woes.
Despite the easy format of the interview, Kamala managed to pull off another train wreck says the Daily Mail, steering the conversation into familiar territory – blaming Trump and COVID for her administration’s shortcomings while offering little more than vague plans for an “opportunity economy” in the future where she promises to fix everything that her and Old Man Biden have created during their plague on the nation.
When asked why Americans wouldn’t prefer to go back to the more affordable groceries and housing prices of the Trump era, Kamala launched into a rerun of her favorite excuses: millions of jobs lost post-COVID, mismanaged crises, and a magical “rescue” operation she insists the Biden administration performed after Trump left office. It’s the same old song – except more Americans died of COVID under Biden than Trump, a fact she conveniently left at the last station.
She also didn’t point out that the economy was starting to rebound post-COVID until Biden put the brakes on American energy production and sacked us with massive inflation he, along with Kamala and the Dems, passed the laughably named “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.”
Stuck in reverse: blame game and empty promises.
As Bash pressed Kamala on why these problems still haven’t been fixed in her three and a half years as VP, Kamala’s response was the verbal equivalent of a runaway bus. She insists that her and Biden have been “fixing” things since Day One, but when your answer is, “When we do what we have done,” it’s clear she’s running on empty.
Kamala’s continued defense of Bidenomics – a term most Americans equate with high prices and economic distress – is laughable. Even more laughable is that fact that Kamala thinks she’s the one to fix it all.
When asked about the mess at the border, Kamala didn’t take any responsibility for the millions of illegal aliens invading our country and was quick to blame Trump for derailing bipartisan efforts for a “border security” bill which would have done little to stem the border crisis except add more data processors to the border.
The wheels have come off: Kamala dodges and deflects.
When it came to addressing Biden’s cognitive decline and Kamala’s complicity in letting a mentally unwell person not only run for another presidential term, but also continue to say in the Oval Office, Kamala didn’t just miss the bus – she refused to board altogether. Standing by the president’s so- called “intelligence and judgment,” she failed to convince anyone that the man who’s been derailed by his own administration by an insider coup is the leader America deserves. Her only answer seemed to be that he’s much better than Trump.
Kamala also claimed she has allowed a “diversity of opinions” throughout her political career, but her revolving door of departed staff tells a different story: the wheels have come off this bus, and everyone’s scrambling to jump off.
On the Israel-Hamas conflict, Kamala actually DID take a stand but it’s not one that her anti-Israel folks in Michigan are going to agree with or accept. Prefacing her remarks by the old stand-by of “let me be clear” she promised her unwavering support of Israel – including sending them arms and letting them defend themselves.
Of course, she included her usual pivoting to talk about the “innocent” Palestinians, but as long as she’s okay with sending arms and money to Israel, the southeastern anti-Israel “uncommitted” voters aren’t going to be jumping on her presidential campaign bus anytime soon.
Spoiler alert Kamala: YOU have been a part of the failed leadership the past 3.5 years.
And when Kamala said she wanted to “turn the page” on the last decade of what she believes has been contrary to where the spirit of where the country lies, Bash reminded her that three years of that has been the Biden-Harris administration. Kamala had to do the math – and her answer: she called it an “era” that started about a decade ago that the measure of a leader is based on who you beat down and not who you lift up.
Final stop: a one-way ticket to nowhere.
Kamala’s interview was yet another reminder that when it comes to the big issues – border security, inflation, the president’s health – all very important to American voters – she’s just not equipped to drive the bus. Her inability to articulate clear policies or take responsibility for the administration’s failures left viewers with the impression that she’s a passenger on a runaway bus, not a leader with a map.
The big debate in September.
With the upcoming debate with Trump casting a long shadow, Kamala’s bus tour interview has revealed that the candidate has no gas to go anywhere important. Her latest interview was a bus wreck in slow motion, packed with her favorite buzzword “significance” tossed around like confetti. It’s clearer than ever: this road trip is going off the rails, barreling straight towards what will most likely be a debate disaster for her this September, one that could be as bad as the one that took her boss out of the presidential race.
