From today’s NY Times “here’s what we would ask Kamala if she weren’t too scared to sit for an interview” piece:

 

If I’m coaching Harris:

“You’re asking ME why frustrated people vote for Donald Trump? Because he lies to them. Because he sells them magic beans. 
Seriously, that’s the answer.

And while it’s my job to make a better argument than he does and help them understand how our policies can help, it’s YOUR job to help them separate fact from fiction. And your profession has utterly failed at that, because you’re too focused on horserace bullshit and asking candidates for office  to put each other’s voters on the couch.
So after all the whining about me taking my message straight to the voters and not going through your platform to speak to them, are you going to interview me or what?
You do your job, David, and I’ll do mine.”

Hi, I'm JD Vance. I'm going to Yale and writing a book about Ohio.

Ok.

I'd like a whore please.

What kind?

Oh, I don't know. Probably white. Maybe Asian. Whatever makes sense. So how long you been working here?

Think about how stupid the average person it.  

The average voter is probably 10% stupider than that. 

I just had a meeting with our hospital administration because some of the patients at our hospital are confused by some of the big words we use on our standardized consent forms like “chest” and “abdomen”.   In asked what should we say “tummy”?? Without flinching he said “yes”.  Apparently they did a study and our average patient has the mental capacity and vocabulary of a 7th grader.  That is a direct quote.  This country is absolutely fucked.

Actually, they passed a bill during a special legislative session that extended the filing deadline to Aug 31 but the Dems chose to stick with the roll call vote to meet the original deadline just to avoid any potential GOP skullduggery. They probably didn’t have to but you can’t blame them. Better safe then sorry and with Ohio Republicans you can never be sure.

I think the quick and easy answer is "political punditry as to why a candidate might appeal to some part of the electorate is your job, not mine."  And then shift easily to explain why voters should vote for her.

It's a stupid fucking question.  Dismiss it as such.

You hear right, my friend.

And the Tavern is perfectly good bar food.  A solid burger.  Tator tots are available as a side, which is always a plus.  And Monday is all-day happy hour, beers are $4 I think.  It's a solid and reliable option for grub, drinks, and yep, catching a game (I've watched soccer matches, baseball games, NBA finals, and plenty of Longhorn football games there over the past 30+ years).  And yeah, you never know who you'll bump into there.

I wouldn’t make it a habit, but for a big interview, I would absolutely hit that. If she can use this big hyped up initial interview to frame horserace discourse and access journalism as part of what frustrates voters, without antagonizing the media she actually needs, it’s a winner.

Nyt proves the point. “We will ask you about Trump and that’s it”

That’s a garbage question and it requires her to either insult voters (because they are bad or dumb and believe lies) or concede that Trump has a point.  I think all candidate should sit for hard interviews— about their policies, records, qualifications, etc. Not “please amateur psychoanalyze your opponent’s voters.” 
 

Can we also move past this little tick of “including people of color?” Embedded within that is an assumption that non-whites must have legitimate reasons for believing lies or wanting to take apart democracy.
