In reply to the discussion: 'Her ambition got it wrong about Joe': Harris faces debate backlash [View all]Jakes Progress
(11,122 posts)First, I like to know if a candidate can reflect on their actions and learn from them. This exchange is another example of Joe not being able to do that. Obviously he was wrong in his actions back then. He could have said that. He could have acknowledged that he has grown and learned as he grew older. That would have shown wisdom and it would have bolstered his position as an older and wiser man who has learned from a life in politics. But his reaction seems to be "I have never done anything wrong. Ever. And I have never done anything I need to apologize for." We know that isn't true. Does he?
Second, I think Kamala was the first of the candidates in the debates to show her ability to stand up and argue. Elizabeth did a credible job the night before, but Harris was better at it. Joe got flustered and showed that trump could roll him. I think his ego is too fragile and his sense of his own righteousness too tough. We'll see what happens when someone attacks Kamala. Others on the two nights tried to attack but only came off as petty and petulant.
Who ever gets the nomination gets my vote. But I hope the nominee can stand up the the rolling ball of dung that is trump.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
