2024 Field

I'm kind of stunned on Kamala letting him get to her left in terms of advocating for third party funding of IVF. Am I missin' something?

Of course we all know sometimes he just says stuff without meaning it. Who knows.

She's probably focusing on illegals first for this benefit

So which one is it:

1) she doesn't have enough policy positions

or

2) they aren't all there for you to find in a neat package with indexes

But I'm glad we are raising our standards. I too would like all our presidential candidates to have all of their policy views contained within a single document with easy-to-use indexation. Maybe AI will make that possible one day.

I’ll start with her giving interviews where an adversarial press (lol) asks her these questions.

In lieu of that, we’ve been given a binder, so I’m asking for a page number.

The press is in the tank for her.

Won't matter.

I think the press is in the tank for Trump too. They've normalized his being a raving lunatic (and that's one of the more endearing things I can say about him). After a while you give up and that's what they've done. Every day should be a banner headline that the Republican Party has lost its mind by nominating him for 3 straight elections.

This is an actual for real thang. But not surprising in light of prior claims about Ted Cruz' father and JFK's assassination. To call him a raving lunatic is being generous.

I can absolutely see people caring, but I don’t know why. The CEO would have a team of people worried about the details of the product, and see their value as forming and retaining the team that built the product. If I had a question on the new product line as a consumer, I wouldn’t be calling the CEO.

This all just falls into the category of **** that’s outdated in today’s interconnected world to me. Sure, I want people at the top to be competent and knowledgeable. But there’s frankly never a need for a CEO or President to have such extensive knowledge of every issue or policy that they can instantly recall it and debate others about it. At the end of the day, I’m voting for the person who will support and implement policies that I prefer, not the person who can more eloquently relay those policies.

Because they are signs intelligence, preparedness, confidence, and leadership. These are things that are necessary for the office of POTUS (or any person in a position of leadership to be honest).

Kamala isn't trying a court case here. You are insane if you think this is outdated concept.
 
I would like my president to consult advisors/notes, etc when making difficult decisions. I don’t think its a good sign that they require notes to read off of when asked about their policies in a debate.

I believe detailed notes are provided to study prior to the meeting, and I believe that international diplomacy is more complex than two leaders sitting in a room answering questions. There’s also a difference between performing for millions of people watching you speak and having a conversation.

PRIOR to the meeting. That's the key word. No one shuffles through notes when discussing diplomacy. International diplomacy is certainly nuanced. It also isn't scripted.

In geez dude, this is like business 101.

I've only ever interacted with one CEO. He was never too proud to carry a thick briefing book to his meetings (internal and external) and to thumb through it during those meetings. There are different styles. Reagan was famous for his notecards.

Having briefing materials and referring to them does not preclude having an unscripted exchange or being able to improvise skillfully. One does not preclude the other.

Reagan used notes before teleprompters were common at public events. Shocking revelation.

It's not a bad answer. Anyone who has concern about mitigating climate change has probably changed their views as to how best to do accomplish that. EVs versus hybrids for example. And of course there is politics. Sometimes you compromise a little because you need Pennsylvania's electoral votes or Senator Manchin's vote on a particular piece of legislation. Half a loaf and politics is the art of the possible and all that jazz.

Trump is recalibrating bigly on abortion. I think he is being a realist. I'm not a fan of his to put it mildly. But what he is doing on abortion is what any skillful politician would do.

The answer was bad not nearly as bad as the question. Leading the witness much? Ask her why she changed her positions and that's it. You don't give the interviewee multiple choice answers to choose from.
