More deep thoughts by Harris:
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
..But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…
..I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.

Gotta start her out slowly with only one sound bite. Let her work her way up to two, like Hillary. (It's a constitutional crisis and it's a threat to our democracy).

Would be one of the few times in her career that she is honest if she did.

I don't understand how she can't get better speech writers. She's not the first politician who sucks at speaking extemporaneously, and she herself may not be filled with lots of great ideas, so that's why it's perplexing that she just doesn't have a better support team to just tell her what to say. In this modern age of politics, she should fit the mold of a winning candidate, she just needs better material to read off of in situations like this. She should be an ideal paper candidate but her team just sucks as well.

That wouldn't solve her problem of when there's no teleprompter, in which case she just repeats the same flowery phrase or 2 word salad over and over, as evidenced by numerous clips in this thread.

I don't think its her team's fault. She got to the top despite little talent, because of identity politics (female, minority) + willing to spread her legs. Her team has had a bunch of turnover since 2020. That tells you the problem isn't the coaches, but the player. You could have the greatest coaches out there, but if the player lacks talent, there's only so much they can do.

I remember reading that she's unwilling to prepare. You can have the best writers, but if you're unwilling to put in any effort, the great writing doesn't matter.

I see it all the time at work. Someone is hosting a meeting, but doesn't come with either an agenda or a plan.

It is pretty simple. Would you work for an egotistical b&$ch that treats their staff like something you would scrape off of your shoe after visiting the dog park?

The position of speech writer for VP is prestigious and people will put up with quite a bit for that title. When they do not, one has to ask why. Somethings are just not worth the money/title they come with.

There is. So what? I like to point out the irony of Conks criticizing Donk politicians for inept leadership, lying, etc. just like I pointed out the irony of Donks during trump's presidency. It's my shtick. ;)
