This was Vice President Harris's first real unscripted setting where voters could see and hear her explain some of her policy positions now and how they differ from before she became vice president. Oh no, an unscripted setting.

Beware the unscripted setting.

She's accustomed to scripted settings.

Like Danabesh, she's accustomed to scripted settings too.

It's different being a Democrat.

So Kamala Harris did her CNN interview and I watched

the old rules apply so that you don't have to and so that Michael Percy doesn't have to also. The big interview on CNN and who was there who was that her that was the

patriarchy sitting next to her I think the the old white guy sitting next to her, you know the Iraq War Combat vet who carried a weapon of

war in a war Zone, right?

That's the retired command sergeant major.

It's okay, it's good to be, good to be a Democrat.

Danabash did ask him about that weapon of war line and he dodged it completely

and ran all over the reservation not to bring Elizabeth Warren into this but ran all over

the reservation didn't answer the question

at all of course and and that was worthy of note and Dana Bash to her credit did

she well like Jen Pasaki she circled back.

She did come back.

Danabash asked some questions, there were actual questions that ought to be asked.

The art of the follow-up is something that has been lost on pretty much all journalists.

I'm making quotation marks with my figures.

Dana Bash did go back and follow up on a couple of dodged questions.

I think maybe two.
