    Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went into America’s Den of Misinformation – Fox News – for a Wednesday night interview that demonstrated two things:

    1. She has far more guts than her opponent, Donald Trump.
    2. Fox News remains an arm of the Republican Party.

      Let’s give her a little more credit and also say

      1. She was able to give about as good of a solid answer as one can in that den of snakes.

      Literally no soft ball questions, unlike the interviews Trump is willing to sit for. I was surprised she even had a good answer regarding the stupid transgender surgeries bit those 'phobes have been pushing, pointing out federal law that even the Trump administration followed.

      Not sure if it’ll sway any of the brainwashed, but it might be some people’s first exposure to her and first impressions matter, especially if she wins and needs to combat misinformation.

        I’d assume her staff diligently went over all the repugs talking points, prepared lines of answering, briefed her and generally advised her well, which she converted into a solid delivery. That’s the most presidential thing ever: picking competent specialists, trusting them, listening, then packaging the decisions resulting from their expertise in a presentation suitable for the public who generally don’t have the time to do all that themselves.
