I have to quote the court (tennis court) philosopher John McEnroe here: "You cannot be serious!" Harris didn't answer the questions she was asked. She deflected over and over again to how terrible Trump is. But as Baier noted once, they invited her to get her reactions on various topics, not just her opinion of Trump. She blamed Trump for all the current administration's problems, saying Trump was running for reelection all that time which is (1) irrelevant, one must govern despite opponents and enemies walking free in public and (2) not even true, he didn't campaign actively until the primary season. At the very end she referred everyone to "80 pages" of stuff outlining her positions, on her website. So she wouldn't have to know what it says there, and defend it in critical questioning? Where does she stand up on her own to sustained, critical questioning? Even if you like her, you must admit she is not ready.

She didn't have to defend these positions or herself in a normal primary process. It didn't go well in 2020, this time she got to skip it altogether. That's not a qualification for leadership.

Trump is doing a gauntlet of interviews with lots of liberal and critical voices -- the major networks, then Bloomberg a few days ago. He engages with the questions, he's not afraid to tell the questioner that they're wrong. Is Trump always right? No, but he at least acts like someone who can be in charge. If Harris became the president, would she continue blaming Trump for everything that went bad during her time in office?
