Harris campaign officials believe that talking about the current landscape of abortion restrictions in the United States is a winning strategy with female voters, particularly liberal and liberal-leaning ones. But Mr. Baier did not bring up the issue, and the vice president did not guide him there.

Instead, both of them stayed focused on immigration and border security — a topic that, according to recent polls, is near the top of the list of concerns among female voters.

At several points, Mr. Baier asked the vice president if the families of women killed by undocumented immigrants were owed apologies from Ms. Harris and the Biden administration. He read off their names from a list, one by one, and played a clip from the mother of one of the victims, who blamed the administration’s border policies for the loss of her daughter.

Dog shit political instincts. This is the same person who had to exit the primaries first in 2020. Can't win an election to save her life.

It will be amazing if the Dems lose again, the fact that this is even in the cards is frankly fucking insane

          Coincidentally, because they already don't like Trump, Kamala's target demographic is suburban white women.

          It's almost like there was a reason she got 2% of the vote the last time she actually had to earn them.

            i will say if i had to guess, i'd say a harris presidency has a chance of breaking the fever of Trump Derangement Syndrome (he might even die!) and allowing some "progressives" to come to their senses, but not enough to actually care about this shit

              Obama getting elected off of similar sentiments than doing jack fucking shit for 8 years is what let the current crop of fascists form.

              You empower the nazis and demoralize everybody that expected things ro improve if a dem was president. And then everybody who isn't already a washington post subscriber accurately asses that no matter which party is in power their lives keep getting worse and they keep getting poorer.

              Until a candidate actually redistribute wealth and improves the material conditions of everybody, even the hogs, the current 49% 51% split is just going to keep getting more diametrically opposed.

              Obviously the chuds are dug in but if a politician of either party actually improved their lives they'd soften.

              And that means actually improving their conditions, not "Here's a website where you can pick from a variety of plans that cost anywhere from $600 to $4000 a month, all the I es that cost less than $1200 a month do literally nothing and you get to just send a check to an insurance company (or else we'll fine you) and get nothing in return.

              Instead you have democrats just constantly saying "we want to improve your lives but republicans won't let us"

              Even if that's true (it's not) "we tried and failed to help you" is not a motivating message.

    Fuck kamala I am absolutely not defending her and I'm not sure why she thought this was a good idea in the first place.

    That being said holy shit this was a dumpster fire.

    Beir would ask a question and then immediatly just talk over her and start arguing with her if she started actually responding then as soon as she started talking shit about trump he'd cut her off and move on.

    Also playing a completely unrelated clip as evidence that the clip she was actually talking about didn't exist was pretty orwellian.

    In any country with a population of people who could be consider competent adults this would be ample evidence for stripping fox for parts.

    All of which I could have told her and her team 48 hours ago for way less than whatever hickster they actually employ for plotiical strategy.

      It's so fucking stupid, like getting an invitation to get kicked in the dick and being like yep I'll take it

      Or worse even asking to be kicked in the dick

      Trump would NEVER take an interview with Maddow he's not that stupid
