He had an extended interview with Dana Bash of CNN and excelled. He completely turned her attack questions around and steered it back to speaking about policies and issues.

What he did in this interview should be the template for discussing political differences and handling the compliant press.

He also sat down with ABC News’ “This Week,” and CBS News’ “Face the Nation. ” That is 3 more sit down interviews than Kam the Sham has had since she was imaculated .

Harris’s press avoidance strategy is un-American, and it’s working just fine. (thehill.com) (https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4820576-harris-campaign-media-avoidance/)

"But even if a press avoidance campaign can work, it is, indeed, a very cynical and rather un-American approach to trying to win an election. It suggests Harris doesn’t trust regular citizens to make wise voting choices based on being fully informed about her stances on issues. It also suggests a timid, fearful approach to the media, quite the contradiction to Harris’s broader campaign messaging (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Yr4U5Clls) that portrays her as “fearless.”


Vance points out that she is a chameleon . Besides his examples about reversing her policy on issues like fracking and border security (where she suddenly sounds a lot like Trump) ; she blatantly stole an issue he raised over a month ago......... no income tax for tips .

Harris copies Trump's promise on no tax for tips (axios.com) (https://www.axios.com/2024/08/11/kamala-harris-trump-taxes-tips-service-workers)

My position is that is a garbage proposal regardless who proposes it ,When Trump proposed it ,it was properly critiqued as a bad idea. Watch the world embrace it now that Kam has embraced it.

Right or wrong ; tax breaks are intended as an incentive . It is better to save ,or start families or to encourage any number of behaviors or policies .Conversely taxing can be used as a disincentive for certain behavior or policy.

Tipping was once a thankyou for good service. Now it is out of control and almost expected and it has increased to as high as 20%-25% of the total bill ;regardless of the service provided . What is that really except an incentive for business owners to keep wages lower ? It is also distorted because severs are often not expected to share the tip with the rest of the staff that contributes to the overall experience.

Tell the truth ;as a customer you really resent the expectation that you will tip be it giving a generous tip to a high end restaurant or the tip jar at the local deli or the line item in a bill when you order take out.
Tax breaks for tipping encourages the expectation for more tipping. It would be better to phase out tipping altogether. Good service should be the norm in a service industry.


Flashback The inflation reduction act (Kam cast the deciding vote in the Senate ) authorized over 80,000 extra IRS agents to crack down on waiters tips

Less than 200 miles from the southern border, Vice President Kamala Harris promised to fight for “strong border security,”

Kam the Sham has also changed policies on fracking ; Medicare for all ;aka single payer socialism
