Harris can't even answer any direct policy question.

OK. So why did she change her policy on fracking, from opposition to support? What's her policy on free transition surgery for inmates? She was for it. Now she wont say.

EagleDesigners Harris wont even answer question that she knows are coming, from friendly interviewer, such as Mrs. Ruehl. For example: What are you going to do about inflation? What are you going to do about the border? What are your plans for Ukraine and Isreel? She can't answer, because she spent the last 3 2/3 years dismissing those as problems.

Giving interviews and answering policy questions is NOT unrealistically high standards for a presidential question. It was the norm until now. Trump has had a platform, written up in a pdf document on his campaign website this entire year. Only recently did Harris post something, which is very few things copied from the Biden campaign.

@empathry Trump has given 14 press interviews and town halls. He has had many rallies with policy. Harris has had an interview on ABC and one with Oprah. And there was no specific policy. There was agreements with the hosts that she would NOT be asked such questions. She answers the only specific questions she is asked, "Are people better off now than 4 years ago?" and "What are you going to do about inflation?" with the same canned dodge "I grew up in a middle-class household. I grew up around hard working people....bla bla bla..." She dodges the question because she has no answer. Trump has a 16 page pdf with his platform. These commentators on msnbc are grossly overpaid media elites that don't have a clue about people's concerns. Harris is an empty suit puppet running to serve the interests of the political establishment. That's why she wont answer policy questions! It's also why anyone should be embarrassed to support her.

@empathry Harris has been VP for 3 years 8 months. She's had more that 2 months. The VP is supposed to be ready to take over the presidency immediately. Any intelligent person who was VP for years would have hundreds of pages of notes on policy proposals. What did she even do every day???

@kyoung4534 Nobody is "justifying" voting for Trump. Trump will answer questions on policy. Harris will not. She wont explain what she will do about inflation, immigration, war in Ukraine and Israel. Because those problems are do to her and Biden's incomptence.

@BarbaraMiller-f1x Harris isn't changing her mind. She's changing her positions to pander to the voter base. Trump has had the exact same basic policy since her started his campaign in 2015. Do something about illegal immigration, stop corporations from outsourcing manufacturing, and keep America out of other countries' wars.

@BarbaraMiller-f1x She's not changing her mind. She's changing her public positions just to win the election.

@empathry "Lie count" Not sure what point you're trying to make about that. Harris lied about things that were long ago debunked, with 2 minutes of research. The "very fine people" hoax, The "bloodbath" hoax, Trump left office “with the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression,” a lie. "Trump is a supporter of project 2025" a lie, he doesn't support it. The political establishment puppets, Biden, Harris, and every clown on this network, don't even care if their talking points are a lie. "Harris had 2 months". No. She had over 3 1/2 years. Any intelligent person who was V.P. for a term would have 200 pages of policy proposals written down. What did she even do for those years?

@gilbrowning4695 It's not a mystery. It's a pdf on the Trump/Vance campaign website, that's been there since the spring.
