In a weird way she’s arguably principled because imo she could much more easily sweep up the centre left and centre votes if she shat on Daly in a very blunt way. Mick & Clare are hardly electoral assets, they both lost their seats last year!

Shame because HH is pretty crap.

It’s very obvious she basically agrees with them on Syria, Russia etc and just wants to sidestep the questioning every time.

Each to their own but I personally can’t vote for Catherine Connolly as long as her answer on this question stays the same.

Throwing them under the bus would cost so little and put many voters at ease. But she only has good things to say about them, and always refuses to specify any disagreement.

you can just read the interview, you know.

So I see this election as very critical to who we are as a nation - the character of America, democracy. And they may not like hearing that, but I don't like what they're saying either. And what they're - the assault that they are making on - no one is above the law. That's been what America has been about, except if you're Donald Trump.

KELLY: When you say they, you're talking about who? Republicans?

PELOSI: Yeah. I'm talking...

KELLY: People who support Trump?

PELOSI: ...About the cult that the Republican Party has become - a cult to a thug. And that thug would be Donald Trump. So I wish they'd take back their part of - the country needs a strong Republican Party. It has had a strong Republican Party with great leaders for America. And that is really not what we're seeing there. It's up to them, though.

Obviously this is a particular left-wing species of it, but I think this is a reflection of a very real Online trend found all over the political spectrum where people don't understand some aspect of the world and so assume their ignorance must reflect a conspiracy by The Powers That Be

this reminds me of the joke idea in 1988 to run Richard Nixon. the slogan people used is : He's tanned and ready
(I learned about this from my grandpa's trivial pursuit 1980s set of cards which were published in 1989)

Compared to this nonsense from Booker, Harris' answer on MSNBC is actually quite astute especially if your goal is to straddle the line. Booker's goal is to be the pro Israel stalwart in 2028.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 5h

Whereas Harris told MSNBC that she believes whether or not Israel has committed genocide is a fair and honest question to ask, Cory Booker explicitly said to the "I've Had it" podcast that he thinks addressing the question of whether Netanyahu has committed crimes would undermine resolving conflict.
