Harris’ CNN Townhall confirmed what we have come to more fully understand as we hear more from an unscripted Kamala Harris – she is not intellectually, socially, or temperamentally equipped to be POTUS. She is imperious, kind of dumb, and incapable of articulating, and apparently understanding, complex topics. These are critical skills for a POTUS to have. I encourage everyone to go watch the CNN Townhall in full and judge for yourself.

The vice president’s uneasy performance on Wednesday night was immediately panned by Democratic strategist David Axelrod who claimed she went ‘word salad city’ on several answers.

 

Harris stood before undecided voters in the swing district of Delaware County, Pennsylvania as new polling showed Trump taking a slight edge over the VP nationally.

She also dodged when Cooper asked her if she’d be stronger than Trump on Israel.

 

That answer, particularly, got under Axelrod’s skin.

 

‘When she doesn’t want to answer a question her habit is to kind of go to word salad city and she did that in a couple of questions,’ he said.

 

‘One was on Israel. Anderson asked a direct question on would you be stronger on Israel than Trump and there was a seven-minute answer, but none of it related to the question,’ the Obama adviser complained.

Van Jones, a prominent talking head on CNN who worked in the Obama administration, echoed Axelrod’s key point.

 

‘The word salad stuff gets on my nerves,’ he said on-air after the town hall wrapped. ‘I think some of the evasions are not necessary.’

 

CNN’s Dana Bash said afterward that ‘if her goal was to close the deal, they’re not sure she did that.’
