    Agreed. Her current job is to support Biden in everything. If she disagrees she isn’t doing her job and is thankless after Biden supported her.

    She needs to find a way to say something like, right now we'll support Biden, but as the events change and evolve we'll keep what works and make changes where we need to make changes.

    Interesting opinion not actually based on any of her interviews. Thanks for not contributing anything worthwhile.

    I don't think so at all. If a small snippet (purposely cut to remove literally the context right before and right after) is all it takes to cost someone the election, I just don't buy it.

    The whole segment is about what she's doing differently – the changes she is going after. She literally announced a major new policy on The View and released a document on it. I started a thread about it here. I think people do care about that (not the people here, since most aren't that interested in policy, but more in these types of snippets – not talking about you, just in general).

    The question about Biden starts at the 8:14 mark.

    Yes … more of this… “bimbo”… more insults to her intelligence and insults alluding to her gender… “w****” was making the rounds for awhile but that didn’t take off well enough to move the needle. So we are back to her being a silly woman that is over matched… keep playing that tune and she may actually win.

    It’s really comical when this clown tries to sell Kameltoe to us. I believe in the traveling snake oil salesman more than Kameltoe’s accomplishments. Lol

    The only way she wins is when the Dems are going to cheat again.

    My thoughts exactly.
    With such a great nation as ours, warts and all.
    How did we end up with these two as our nominees?
    It's like we are in bizarro world.

    why can't she say she is onboard with all the decisions that have been made? does that preclude her from adapting to the new times and initiating new policies going forward? Biden won in 2020 in part, on the back of the policies that his administration ran on, so it's not like they are deeply unpopular.

    Seems like an actually tough questions to answer right. You either were non-player in the administration and can't assert your will - a major attacking point by the macho men of the MAGA world or you say I was a major player and Biden's policies are my policies too & be accused of being an establishment puppet (which is a ridiculous fear based accusation to levy against a most powerful person in the world).

    All she has to prove is that she is capable of better critical thinking compared to Biden to retain his base & also be sane & non-weird to steal some of the independents. No?

    New policies to become a little individualized & get people excited is obviously a good idea too but that doesn't have to involve criticizing past decisions.

    Seems like a nothing-burger instead of a major flub

    It's ridiculous but we're stuck with one. As muchas I dislike Trump I'll take him over Harris. I'll take anyone over her though

    agreed. as Trump gets more desperate, his true nature of a misogynist will surely come out (remember Megan Kelly). unless of course, the great political operator and good (dictator) friend Putin calls Don & will talk sense into him...

    ps. how disgusting that they are calling her Kameltoe on here.

    I still don't understand why CBS needed to edit her response to make her look more competent, just put the real in front of the voters and let them decide...
    such a bad look and as usual the cover up is worse than the crime
