We must accept that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will duck and weave their way to November 5th and possibly the White House.
The media will have you believe that Donald Trump is off-message. At least he’s talking to the media. He has called for a press conference later today (3:30C/4:30E) at his New Jersey golf club.
So why aren’t Harris and Walz speaking to the press? Because they don’t have to, and after reading the following linked article, I’m starting to believe this is their campaign strategy.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly turned down interview requests with The New York Times to address fresh criticisms he’s facing over his response to the George Floyd riots in 2020. MSN.com
Here is what I think is going on: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ignore invitations for interviews and the press because they are campaigning and holding rallies. Why sit with interviewers when they know they will get highlights and clips from their rallies?
The public sees them out there, and they hear the words coming from the horses’ mouths, so to speak. How often have you heard that we can’t believe what the news tells us anyway? Donald Trump says everything is fake news. Harris and Walz’s campaign has caught on, so they’ll just keep ignoring the press.
Why should the public believe people like Wesley Hunt? Or why should Kamala and Tim face the scrutiny out there when they can simply move their mouths and let lies continue to fly out?
Kamala Harris was the architect of the DEFUND THE POLICE movement.

Here is their playbook: ignore the media but keep talking to the public via rallies and campaign stops. The media will cover it, and the people will see them say the things and believe them. Kamala and Tim no longer need to sit down and talk to you through the press or the legacy news. They have their social media channels, and the media will cover their rallies, so they don’t need to go to the press.
Forget about the fact that Tim Walz’s lockdown orders had a Minnesota grandma sentenced to 90 days for standing up to tyranny. Or how Tim Walz praised a controversial Muslim cleric who shared antisemitic views. And how about that time he opened the floodgates to Somali immigrants? Of course, he has already answered your blasphemist questions regarding his military service.
See? He answered the question in his speech the other day in Los Angeles. And YouTube tells you so. The proof is right there in front of your face. The words came out of his own mouth. The media captured it. And replays it. So why do either Tim or Kamala need to sit down and be interviewed? That’s just silly.

Yes, in all seriousness now, we would like to see and hear from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in an interview format or press conference. Can they handle it? Doubtful. Therefore, they will not face the nation via direct media contact. They will keep skating around, ducking, and weaving because they can.
The Democratic National Convention is coming up, so we’ll see them there via the media. Those clips will circulate for a good week. There is no need for Tim to sit down and answer why they call him Tampon Tim or ask about his masculinity and his gun grabbing.
After their convention, we’ll have a debate between Kamala and Donald. The vice presidential candidates have also arranged or agreed to a debate in October. This gives Kamala and Tim more excuses to ignore the media directly. I just hope that Trump and Vance will hit hard on the records of Kamala and Walz during these debates.
Speaking of October, don’t be surprised if something extraordinary happens. Steve Krakauer has an opinion piece at The Hill that will make you laugh and cry simultaneously. He speculates that Joe Biden could step down and resign/retire, allowing Kamala to enter the Oval Office and run her campaign as the incumbent. The Democrats will be determined to have their first black woman president after all.
My goodness, gracious. Yes, I think it could happen. After what we’ve all been witnessing lately? Sure. Why not. Plus, it will be a big distraction on why she and Tim won’t talk to the media.

GWB says: Serpentine, Shel Tim and Kamala! Serpentine!
Kevin says: “Masterful” sums up the Harris/Walz campaign. Prior to the Democratic convention, Harris/Walz isn’t facing that much criticism outside of the radical right mouth pieces like Fox, ONAN, et. al. to do an interview. It’s going to be important for Harris/Walz to develop their platform prior to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and then consistently deliver that message after the DNC wraps up. Also comparing the DNC platform to the Malignant Tumor’s crib note RNC platform that is basically his talking points will be eye opening for the electorate.
I’ll probably watch the Malignant Tumor’s “grievance fest and pity party” this afternoon on Youtube. Reporters will simply mention “crowd size, Harris/Walz enthusiasm, Harris’ race, or JD Vance’s abysmal performance” and he’ll be off to the races spewing incoherent and irrelevant things. He’ll be in the news cycle again but it won’t be complimentary.
DonOLD is just that, too old. He’s also doesn’t have the ability to give a coherent answer. His polls are cratering and they’ll even be worse by this time next week after the DNC. I have no idea who will be “performing” at the DNC but I’m guessing they’ll be able to pull in some people/groups on the “A” list versus the “D” list (Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan). The Malignant Tumor would give up his left testical to have the crowd of “A” list celebrities’ and former party leaders that the Democrats will have at their convention. I wonder why Pres Bush, VP’s Pence, Cheney, and Quayle and other party leaders like former Speakers of the House Ryan and Boehner didn’t bother showing up? There are too many old school republicans that don’t support the Malignant Tumor; he can’t get above 45% to 47% approval.
Harris/Walz 2024!
GWB says: Is commenting with your TDS part of your therapy?
Scott says: Yeah, there’s a major qualification for president in my book, A-list celebrities.. That’s really a deciding factor for you kevin? If so, you’re far dumber than I thought..(which is saying A LOT!)
Scott says: And of course, if by “masterful” you mean propaganda that Goebbels would be proud of, I can’t argue with you..
Carol Marks says: Oh Kev, bless your heart. Thanks for the laugh.
SFC D says: Kevin, you’re not well. Please seek help. Your chosen candidates (emphasis on “chosen”, not elected through the primary process. I suppose that’s how democracy works in your world) have no platform, a record that wouldn’t get them elected dogcatcher, and a fear of public speaking. Everything is scripted, rehearsed, and phony. Much like your canned responses here.
Jack says: Why does the DNC need a convention when they’ve already crowned her?
It would be a hoot if the people who went voted for someone else.
David says: These two clowns are just cannon-fodder for 2024 – they are going to get killed and the demoncrats know it. Their policy positions are garbage and their records are abysmal. The idea is to remove them from any future consideration and elevate a new wave of completely unserious candidates – like Glaring Nuisance from CA or the Big Gretch from MI. States that are losing population every day yet cling to policies that seek to destroy commerce and progress. Tye best business in CA is being a U-Haul franchise…
