    it includes the WaPo:

    If she hopes to prevail, Ms. Harris needs to present her ideas. The media and public have legitimate questions, and she should face them. This is a political necessity — Mr. Trump is already turning her avoidance of the media into an attack line. And elections aren’t just about winning. They’re about accumulating political capital for a particular agenda, which Ms. Harris can’t do unless she articulates one.

    What’s more, Ms. Harris might find her best hope of persuading voters is not to reinforce familiar negative information about Mr. Trump, even if it’s repackaged as an attack on his, and his party’s, “weirdness.” Rather, a new survey published in Matt Yglesias’s newsletter by political scientists David Broockman of the University of California at Berkeley and Josh Kalla of Yale, who study political messaging, suggests that her best bet would be to provide the public new, positive information about herself — and her agenda.

    Without hearing Ms. Harris articulate her thought process, she runs the risk of leaving voters to wonder whether she is just shifting with the political winds, or, indeed, planning to revert to previous positions after she’s won the presidency. Why, for instance, did she embrace Mr. Trump’s idea to exempt tips from taxation?

    It’s weird. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Pretty soon she will be selling hats and commemorative coins and start only giving interviews to far left social media figures.

    I don’t understand why no one is asking her about her policies. It’s all about big rallies and couch ****ing and the Harris magnetism.

    How did we end up here? It’s so puzzling.

    Don't forget golden shoes. The real question is if she has a fake university scam in her and can pull it off like her opponent

    Shrodinger's leftist.

    She is excessively tough on petty crime and yet a raging leftist.

    They need to pick a lane but in reality I understand this tactic is effective in the sense that the GOP taylors their contradictory messaging to whom they are speaking. The whole "she's a evil law and order prosector" is a narrative spread by the right to cause in fighting amongst the Democrat base between the leftist and centrist camps.

    The Policy stuff is coming. The reason she is not talking about policy is she is saving that for the convention speech, that is when you lay out the details.

    I also can't WAIT for the debate.

    However, It is becoming a movement like Obama (she is not Obama) and it is a way for Democrats to counter MAGA with sheer numbers/buzz/enthusiasm/ and pop culture excitement. It is the return of the Obama collation. Trump never excited young people. The prospect of a woman of color as President has. Women will be the key because they see her as a chance to protect their rights. Young people see her as listening to them on Israel.

    Trump is fuming because he has never been popluar with the majority of Americans. His doom and gloom is OLD. People want HOPE and a vision of America where there is more UNITY than division. That is what Harris is tapping into.

    This is WHY Trump will lose and I think the Dems take full control of Congress.

    Maybe in 2028 Republicans will go with that strategy.

    So is she a harsh overzealous prosecutor on petty crimes or not?

    So to win your vote, if you could vote, she would need to be a CEO who spends 3/4 of her day posting on a Rockets message board.

    Clinton, Biden, Obama and Carters grandkid on behalf of him will be speaking at the DNC.

    Bush, Cheney, Romney and even his own VP Pence won't endorse Trump because they all hate him.

    If I were hiring someone to run a hospital, I would hope they had experience running a hospital.

    These people have dedicated their careers to public service...clearly this is a job for a game show host.
