The vibe campaign continues

Actual CNN journalists were suggesting that Kamala should continue to ignore talking to journalists or giving specifics

This was one of those perception deals. You have some who suggested that even those who thought Harris gave a strong speech admit that it lacked policy substance, while others who criticized it for being void of policy substance admitted that it was a strong speech.

I didn't listen to it. From what I understand the idea was to follow the Obama formula of image and rhetoric. Obama's Hope and change replaced by Kamala's joy and apparently the new website slogan of "let's win this thing". Not sure how "let's win this thing" helps us understand what she plans to accomplish other than becoming President. But that seems to be 99% of the campaign - elect Harris rather than Trump. In the immortal logic of Nancy Pelosi, we will need to elect Kamala Harris before knowing what she will want to do. Sounds fair to many, including CNN journalists who apparently are more interested in seeing Harris elected President than doing their jobs.

The website was supposed to have been updated with a policy page by now, but still has not been. There is a BIO page, where we can read up on how great these two candidates are as people and supposedly get a feel about what they will do. But specifics? Not a chance. Perhaps all of the heat Harris took for her first few policy proposals gave them pause and they decided to retreat back to the obscurity of the abstract. Still appears to be her best strategy.

We will see that effect the DNC had on the voters and the polls. Apparently, Trump announced that he has a special guest appearing with him on the campaign trail and by all accounts it will be RFK. His campaign officially withdrew in Arizona and asked to be removed from the ballot there. That signals he will be doing the same elsewhere and if he endorses Trump, that will have an impact on the race and blunt some of the effect of the DNC. It won't have quite the same effect on the race as Biden dropping out a few days after the RNC, but it will have an effect.
