    That’s all correct, but wasn’t Harris’s goal to appeal to conservatives?

    I didn’t find the article particularly convincing because there’s a clear answer to the question of why Harris defended Biden’s mental acuity, everyone knows it, but Harris can’t admit it explicitly. No one wanted to be the first person to say that the emperor had no clothes.

      Yes, but what I’m saying is his take is going to be slanted on purpose. He isn’t trying to have an objective take on her performance, he’s going to write an article trying to make her look as bad as possible.

      I’d rather know what johnny conservative thought of his own mind, rather than someone with the goal of making you not like her but johnny conservative doesn’t have a media outlet I suppose lol

        If you want to know what Johnny Conservative thinks, just go read the Fox news YouTube comment section for insightful comments like “MAGA!!!” and “TRUMP2024!!” and “lolol word salad Hahaha ha she didn’t know the number!!!”

        These people are not well.

        That’s a good point. He does seem like he would probably write this sort of article as part of his political agenda regardless of what he sincerely believed. Thus the existence of the article provides almost no information about what conservative voters might actually be thinking.

          If it is in The Hill you should always be looking for issues like this, they publish a lot of crap written by crap people who aren’t trustworthy and have an agenda.

      well of course she is not going to convince someone whose source of living is being conservative propagandist…

      the question is whether or not she had a chance to convince even 1% of normal conservative voters.
