good morning common and the usual suspects. As usual I'm here for you, Lucy, Ricky, and all others in need of hand holding, comfort,and love. It's a very simple question is Bret lying or telling the truth? If,If, your corner is throwing in the towel and begging for, no mas, there is a very good chance your team believes you are losing, and you can't recover. Before it even started she was late and they cut the time allotted for the interview short. There wasn't time for lobbying and disingenuous BS, Bret wanted answers to the questions HE ASKED, period. What a concept, neither candidates can answer simple questions. To be fair both trump and Vance still can't answer a simple question, WHO won in 2020, lol. The correct answer is, Biden won in 2020 BUT, FB, Twitter, and most other media outlets now admit they were pressured to block stories that would have hurt the Biden campaign, they complied, hence the outcome was rigged, because critical information was blocked, as we all know. What a FKn country, what pathetic choices we have been given. Shameful.

I watched a few minutes on YouTube last night.
I felt she held her own. Trust me I hate to say that....I warned about her in 2014-ish, I haven't been able to stand her, I'm not voting for her.
But the part I watched, including the ending - she didn't seem to have desperation, etc.
Isn't it normal to have a fixed amount of time for an interview?

“ Isn't it normal to have a fixed amount of time for an interview?”. — Bret says before they started they cut it from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. Do the math, if it takes 4 minutes to answer each question, how many questions does he get to ask? She didn’t hurt herself as badly as she could have but, it was not a softball interview.

hclasvegas: Before it even started she was late and they cut the time allotted for the interview short.
Umm. The interview was pre-taped. Before the interview, Baier said it was expected to run approximately 25–30 minutes at around 5 p.m. ET, about an hour before "Special Report" aired live. The interview ended up being 26 minutes and 44 seconds, exactly within Baier's preannounced length. It was not cut short.
Seriously, stop getting your "news" from ZeroHedge.

Yes, he did. Go read it again or ask someone to explain it to you.
hclasvegas: Biden won in 2020 BUT, FB, Twitter, and most other media outlets now admit they were pressured to block stories that would have hurt the Biden campaign...
Kinda' like Trump paying off a porn star that he rawdogged cheating on wife number three in the last days of the 2016 race to keep voters from getting the news that he was slime? And then didn't he go on to break the law to cover it up?
Or like when he paid off a Playboy model while cheating on his wife and worked with the National Enquirer to block other embarrassing stories?
Wait, wait, wait... it's exactly like the Trump campaign when it went to Xhitter to prevent the circulation of links to hacked J.D. Vance email on its platform to prevent Americans from seeing it... exactly what you're whining about the Biden camp doing.
Legacy media and social media had no problem publishing every hacked Podesta and DNC email, BTW.
hclasvegas: Bret Baier says Kamala's staff was DESPERATELY trying to end the Fox interview
Right. I guess that's why Fox went into damage control and had Junior, Eric, and Stephen Miller on to say how Orange Jesus is such a manly man (which is hilarious when you think about it: Trump wears more makeup then most women, colors his hair, and is rumored to wear lifts, a girdle, and adult diapers), way tougher than Harris who had just chewed up and spit out Bret Baier in front of loyal Fox viewers.

From Bill Kristol at “The Bulwark”
It was an impressive event. Harris’s public remarks were excellent and our private conversation with her was heartening. It was moving to walk around the historic site and reflect that it was right here, almost 250 years ago, that Washington crossed the Delaware and helped ensure this whole American experiment could get launched.
I also took the chance at Washington Crossing to speak informally with several campaign operatives to try to find out what’s really going on in the election. And then last night, here in Philly, I was able to catch up with some Pennsylvania Democrats and interrogate them. It was a chance to get some inside dope on where the race stands, less than three weeks out.
What did I learn? It was all off the record, so I’m limited in what I can say. But the general gist is: The inside dope is pretty much the outside dope. The private story is the public story. Things really are as they seem. The race is insanely close. It’s on a knife’s edge. There’s no reason for either complacent confidence or dark despair. The insiders are on the same roller coaster as the rest of us, doing their best and hoping that it results in the right outcome.
So I have no blinding insights to report from Pennsylvania. But I had a couple of thoughts.
As I was there at Washington Crossing, I thought of Thomas Paine, whose great pamphlet, the first in his series titled The Crisis, was read to Washington’s troops there, before they crossed the Delaware.
These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer
soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink
from the service of his country; but he that stands it now,
deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like
hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with
us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Pretty impressive. And then I remembered our modern Tom Paine, James Carville.
James had texted me that morning with a couple of notes about campaign tactics. As always, he was terse and sardonic. He uncharacteristically concluded his text this way, referring to the whole Bulwark team and Republican Voters Against Trump: “U doing important work. Do not let up.” Carville’s text reminded me of something he’d written almost exactly four years ago, a piece he’d sent in unprompted to the Bulwark. It was titled “A Crusade for Something Noble.”
You can read the whole thing here. But the heart of it was this:
This is more than a campaign. This is a crusade for America.
What this moment has done for all of us is that it has given us a sense of common purpose. Common purpose which we will be able to recall forever: that when our country and our Republic were on the brink of collapse, when our fellow Americans needed us, we took a blow torch to our past differences, our former conflicts and our old rivalries, and we fought together.
As I sit here, I can say with certainty that in all my years, joining in this crusade to take America back from the brink of destruction is the greatest thing I have ever been a part of in my life.
I was moved by the piece four years ago. I was moved thinking of it yesterday, and rereading it last night.
And as I write this morning—despite the lack of easy reassurance from the operatives with whom I spoke—I really do believe this: Yes, the election’s on a knife’s edge. But voters are going to look at the dark future on offer from Donald Trump, and the hopeful one on offer from Kamala Harris, and do the right thing. We’re going to win the election.</i,>
Vote for the America we’ve known and loved since our childhood- imperfect, but still the world’s last, great hope.
There’s no excuse. Vote for chaos and retribution, or vote for a future marked by maddening bureaucratic obstinancy- but A future that tends toward justice for all.

Ahh the old Dope argument from ignorance. I have never seen it so it does not exist. Poor logic.
Besides, it is interesting that your take is completely different than everyone else's take. Most people think Harris was great and Bret Baier struggled. Weird that you see the opposite. Then again, you have a long history of idiotic takes due to the fact that you have poor reading comprehension and use poor sources of "information" that take advantage of you.
BTW, you could have made your post before the actual interview. Your post was going to be the same regardless of the actual interview, you mind was already made up.

I imagine they don't believe he's a danger to our democracy. Right-wing populist demagogues are being elected in western democracies all over the globe, and part of democracy is that the electorate is allowed to choose to elect right-wing demagogues if they want to. Doing so isn't a danger to our democracy, though it is a certainly an awful choice to make IMHO. If enough people want to support a horrible candidate because they want to see the liberals cry, then that person will get elected.

Quoting Fred Derry: "Well, that's a hopeful way of putting it."
A simpler answer is that they're delusional.
A canvasser in Nevada this week asked Trump voters why they can’t vote for Kamala Harris and they said: “She’s not black.” When shown a photograph of her father, they said: “That’s not her father. I’ve seen the birth certificate.”
Others said that the January 6 attack on the Capitol “was actually the Democrats.”
Others repeated Trump's frequent claim: “She will create a Great Depression.” When shown the Goldman Sachs analysis that the U.S. economy would be better under Harris than Trump -- or reminded that the stock markets keep reaching new all-time highs -- they dismiss the data and stellar market performance as lies.
A shocking number of American voters simply have lost touch with reality.

The question was why the smart righties on this board don't believe he's a danger to democracy. I'm sure that there's lots of voters out around the country who have all kinds of crazy ideas about Trump or Harris that motivate their choice, but the question wasn't about them. It was about how a smart right-wing or right-leaning person could decide that Trump wasn't a danger to our democracy.

Voting in a demagogue is certainly an exercise in democracy.
Voting him out, however, can often be an impossibility.
