President Trump whinged (using the English from England spelling as it is way more specific and cool) his way through the interview, then left in a presidential huff, There is little doubt that he was offended by being reminded that the size of his rallies are quite diminished from 2016.
Vice-President Pence was asked to defend his boss and all the slick politician could come up with is that “the President is a tough guy”.
Joe Biden talked about actual plans for the future, and had to deny, once again, that he will be a pushover for the radical left and will not implement Medicare For All and the Green New Deal. As if this is even possible in the bifurcated U.S. of A.
Kamala Harris laughed her way through the first part of her interview, fielding some predictable questions. When asked about the label that she is the “most liberal senator”, apparently usurping the crowns of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, she replies that she won’t be defined by a simple word. “Liberal” is such a denigrated word in the U.S., closely followed and trumped (so to speak) by “Socialist”, that it is impossible to have a rational discussion. The next question, queried by a scowling interviewer, is more ridiculous: “Are you bringing a more Liberal or even Socialist perspective to the White House?”. God Forbid! Kamala responds that she has grown up with the perspective of a brown and black girl raised by a single mother who immigrated from India, of someone who became a prosecutor, then California Attorney General, then the first female woman of colour to be elected to the U.S. Senate. These are her talking points sure, but they do need to be repeated to the wider audience. Meanwhile, the interviewer stares back with a deer-in-the-headlights expression.
