She didn't have to answer the 1st question. Baier did it for her.
She deflected.
She said, " I'm sorry for her loss, I'm so sorry for her loss, sincerely."
So she didn’t apologize for her role. Got it.

He asked her a question about working with Biden and his apparent decline. "You met with him at least once a week for three-and-a-half years. You didn't have any concerns?”

What was her answer (again, the key word is answer, not response) to the question?

Should we ignore it? Pretend it didn't happen? Make believe that he doesn't say these things? Make it the new normal? Do you want to be lower the bar that much?

Hey, Bradskii, want to make a friendly wager? Wanna bet me that, if Kamala Harris ever mentions anyone else's genitals in a speech somewhere, positively or negatively, the GOP/right wing/MAGA contingent will be equally as unconcerned about it?

You game?

-- A2SG, you can even name the stakes....

Maybe someone could use AI to get it to look like she's using Trump's words. Or the UK or Australian or French PM. Maybe the Canadian one. See what it looks like to have Trudeau talking about the size of a dude's genitals at a political rally. If you hadn't heard or knew about Trump doing it then you simply wouldn't believe that it was Harris or Trudeau. You'd assume some deep fake. Because normal people in situations like that don't talk like that. It would obviously be a fake.

Unless it's Trump. And then you'd think 'Yeah, that sounds just like some bizarre thing he'd say'.

It's amazing what Trump has normalized in our political sphere, isn't it?

-- A2SG, can you picture Abraham Lincoln talking about some other guy's genitals?

I didn't bring it up, you all did and are obsessed with it for some reason...I don't care. In fact I had to go look it up and looks like he was just doing his usual joking, crowd seemed to like it though. He just said that AP was "all man". I mean he was in Latrobe where Palmer was from. Big deal...

I'm certain that if he'd been selected as a top 4 president, you'd be linking to the survey constantly.
And, again, you'd be wrong. Unless a survey sample was randomly selected and large enough to be representative of the universe it portends to characterize then I would not post such rubbish. As a rational person, I read before I post. Some just see a headline that seems supportive of their feelings and post it.
And I don't need a survey to tell me how grossly unsuitable he is. I don't even need the opinions of so many who worked directly with him. I don't need the opinion of scores of Republicans who have come out against him. Or even the opinion of the man who is his running mate. Or members of his family.
So, you don't need any facts? Therefore, you are biased and your feelings can just as easily be dismissed as rubbish.

What was her answer (again, the key word is answer, not response) to the question?
1. She expressed her deepest sorrow for the deaths of those girls. Baier was wanting her to take the blame for their deaths. That she didn't do nor should she.

2. Why should she say that she had concerns over Biden's decline? You don't seem to be concerned over Trump's? Both are getting older and are affected by that.

3. Should I be concerned with you? Oxford dictionary says this about the word "answer".
a thing said, written, or done to deal with or as a reaction to a question, statement, or situation.

So, by the definition of answer, Kamala Harris answered Baier's questions without falling for his traps. Just as Jesus answered the Pharisees questions when they tried to trap him. They walked away angry because Jesus outsmarted them and Republicans are angry because Harris outsmarted Baier.

Then she should have had the courage to answer the question. “No, Brett, I do not owe them an apology.” See how easy that is? So stop pretending that she answered.
2. Why should she say that she had concerns over Biden's decline? You don't seem to be concerned over Trump's? Both are getting older and are affected by that.
She could have answered the question.

Are you still going to keep up with your assertion that she answered them? So far you are zero for three.

Ah, semantics. Well, if disingenuousness is your plan, well played.

1. Christians, we are called to have compassion and she deeply expressed her compassion for the pain the families are going through. She doesn't have to answer the way Fox News was wanting.

2. Again, she answered the question just not the way you wanted.

3. She answered every question, so she's 3-0. You're 0-3 because she didn't answered the way you wanted.

4. More exactly, conceptual semantics.
She did a great job of going into a hostile situation and handling it like a pro. Disingenuous doesn't actually define the interview but you should know that if you were familiar with semantics.

The universe of historians of US presidents and the US presidency? Sounds like a big universe to sample. Care to guess how big it is? And remember when all is finished what you get is an objective measure of the opinions of US historians, not an actual objective ranking of "bestness".
So, you don't need any facts? Therefore, you are biased and your feelings can just as easily be dismissed as rubbish.
What people who are nearest to him say about him are facts. It is a fact that Kelly and Milley view Trump as a fascist. (And so do scholars of fascism.)

Uhh ... that's exactly the reason an unbiased sample is necessary.
Care to guess how big it is?
Doesn't matter.

Care to guess how many voted in the 2020 presidential election? 154.6 million. Do you care to guess the sample sizes pollsters use to predict the 2024 election?
What people who are nearest to him say about him are facts.
Only those who are unbiased count, both Kelley and Milley have axes to carry regarding Trump.

It is chicanery to attempt to elevate mere opinions to be objective facts. A fact endures, opinions not so much. What other people opine may change and often does quite rapidly. Do you know why the pollsters rerun their polls so often even daily? Opinions are quite ephemeral.

1. You've already proved that you don't know the definition of "answer". You don't have keep proving it.

2. No, you wanted a yes or no answer but the truth is rarely yes or no.

3. At least you accept that the problem is partially yours.

4. Oh, you mean I was being disingenuous. That really proves you don't understand the issue. Thanks for clearing that up.

IOW, you have no idea how many people are in the opinion group being surveyed.

I don't need to guess. I've read the fine print at the bottom. Do you think ~1000 registered voters are too few to make a national survey?
Only those who are unbiased count, both Kelley and Milley have axes to carry regarding Trump.
"axes to carry" -- now that is *your* opinion of them. On what do you base it?

Lol. Mkay.

The questions were yes or no questions.

Um…okay.
4. Oh, you mean I was being disingenuous. That really proves you don't understand the issue. Thanks for clearing that up.
You think, despite the evidence to the contrary, that she actually answered questions. So it’s either ignorance or something else.

2. Depends on sample size, confidence level desired, and margin of error to be tolerated.

3. Trump fired Kelly and "retired" Milley.

4. It's only a fact that at a particular time they expressed their subjective opinions. That fact does not elevate what are only subjective opinions to magically enter the realm of objective facts.

He's totally unsuitable even if he was the only candidate. But in a two horse race? Are you kidding me?
Instead of quote mining, how about answering my question honestly?

I haven't looked it up because I don't care. There are no attempt to create a statistical sample in the presidential historian polls of presidential "rank". If you don't like that, fine, but you are asking those informal surveys of professional historians to be something they never claim to be.
2. Depends on sample size, confidence level desired, and margin of error to be tolerated.
I literally gave a sample size, what do *you* think of that size. (What is your tolerance and desired confidence? I can't answer that question for you.)
3. Trump fired Kelly and "retired" Milley.
Speaking of non-facts. Trump didn't "retire" Gen. Milley. He retire just over one year ago (sept 2023) after his standard 4-year term as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Nearly every Chairman of the JCS retires from service at the
4. It's only a fact that at a particular time they expressed their subjective opinions. That fact does not elevate what are only subjective opinions to magically enter the realm of objective facts.
Frankly you are doing a lot of demanding answers, but won't reciprocate and instead express your subjective opinions.
