Kamala Harris isn’t great at answering questions, but is perhaps at her very worst in addressing the border.
This isn’t because she can’t string sentences together (she can, although the results are always mixed), or that she doesn’t know what she’s saying (she’s quite deliberate in sticking to her talking points).
No, she can’t answer for the administration’s failures at the border, because there simply is no good answer.
What is she going to say? Yes, we completely screwed this up, and I regret to say, did it on purpose. I’ve learned my lesson, though, and want to reverse field on this issue going forward.
An answer like that wouldn’t be sincere, but since when has that been an obstacle?
Since she and her team obviously believe that a confession is not in her interests, her only alternative is to deceive, obfuscate and evade, and hope it’s enough to see her through to Nov. 5.
