Kamala Caves ... And Plays 'Let Me Speak' Card Anyway

  HotAir  

“I let him talk—I’m going to let her talk,” Trump told Hannity. “There are those that say that Biden is smarter than she is. If that’s the case, we have a problem.”

. . ."Well, that's more access to Kamala on the record than they've had since July 21! Harris has been on the record with the media for a staggering 26 minutes over the last 45 days, and eight minutes or so of that time got absorbed by her equally reticent running mate Tim Walz. In contrast, Trump and J.D. Vance have spent hours and hours taking questions in interviews and pressers, holding such events almost at a one-a-day pace since Harris got nominated. 

"Of course, we all know why Harris wanted the mics unmuted for this debate. She wanted to bait Trump into interrupting her and speaking over her, so that she could do what she did to Mike Pence -- embarrass him by scolding over interruptions. Harris got some mileage out of that four years ago, mainly because Pence is a genuinely courtly Midwestern man who wanted to avoid looking overbearing. 

"Trump really doesn't have that problem. If Team Kamala thinks that will work against Trump, they're about to be sorely disillusioned, especially because Trump (like everyone else) will see it coming a mile away. "If Kamala can't deal with an interruption," he'll likely proclaim, "then how can you trust her to deal with America's enemies?" And so on." . . .
