When a professional athlete fails at a critical point of the game, they ca n’t hide their collapse from the fans, the media, or their teammates.  ,
Kamala Harris choked at her CNN town house on Wednesday nights. People of her own group are aware of this. The internet is aware of this. And it’s most probable that many citizens are aware of it as well.

Why ca n’t she respond to questions clearly and plainly and then turn to the platitudes that sneer at her? one political analyst for the Democratic Party said. The biggest problem for her is that she can talk like a human being rather than like a politician, and that is because it’s just all platitudes and BS.
” Christ now, reply a damned problem” the source added.
Harris did n’t “freeze” during the town hall as much as she could n’t keep her mouth from running away with her brain.
Past Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said on CNN on Wednesday night that “her behavior is kind of go-to word dish city,” and she did that on a couple of solutions.
You really need to vote for anyone but Donald Trump, Harris ‘ final statement, according to Matt Bai, who points out that Harris had little to offer in the way of a closing argument. And I’m anyone.'”
That’s but correct. Harris ca n’t come close to anything but more blather about Trump the fascist or Trump the felon, despite her best efforts. The absolute stupidity and folly of that discussion are highlighted by Jim Geraghty.

Besides calling Trump totalitarian, Harris repeated the line that Trump reportedly called fallen men” fools” and “losers”. That was reported in September 2020 by The Atlantic. More than 74 million Americans cast ballots for him two months later. I know plenty of Democrats think that collection may be disqualifying. And the Jan. 6 harm should remain disqualifying. And Trump’s four charges may be disqualifying. And his judgment should remain disqualifying. But for those remaining undecided, they are n’t disqualifying. Prevent making the argument that this audience has utterly rejected and heard. Get another argument about Harris’s features.
When Harris and the Democrats refer to Trump as a “fascist,” they obviously surprise themselves. They’re never shocking everyone else. And it’s a long way off in the race to try to persuade voters that they do n’t really know a former US president, a man who has spent the majority of his life as a celebrity. It’s ridiculous.
Matt Bai on Harris’s unwillingness to answer a flat problem:
At this late stage of the campaign, the responses she does n’t have surprised me. CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked about tax policy, and she responded:” We ca n’t have this conversation…. It’s a pretty complicated condition”. She was unable to respond to a query regarding the Supreme Court’s expansion. She has been questioned about her shifting positions on fracking and health care a thousand times, but somehow she has n’t found a direct response. I do n’t really understand it. But I think if people are asking why she is n’t running away with this election, you saw the answer.

Donald Trump has been slowly reversing his position ( or even drawing, depending on who you ask ). I believe it to be the original. Harris’s absence from the battle path has been the subject of Matt’s reading. She has to devote more time to these appearances because she has n’t been able to answer questions without saying anything. And the fact that she has to take some time off from fighting just to prepare for an appointment that any other candidate would do well two weeks before the election day is a depressing commentary on her candidacy.
