There are times when you can take politicians at their word.When they say they want to violently murder you, believe them.

Thanks! Wait, my thread ninjutsu got in the way…I agree.
In what sense did it get worse? Fox News can spin anything into ‘this is why anything other than extremism is wrong’.Ziggy Stardust said:It started badly for Bret Baier, and it did get worse.
Bret Baier's attempted hit job for Trump did not go well. As usual he tried to focus on individual events that no one controls to make it appear that Harris was personally responsible for them. He worked very hard to make her look bad. Shae did really well in redirecting his attacks appropriately. You should notice that Trump has avoided any interviews he perceives as unfriendly. Her willingness to walk into the lion's den of Fox News speaks volumes about her willingness to reach out to the few viewers who might change their minds. Trump is a bully, Baier is a bully. His goal was never to provide Fox viewers with a unbiased interview.
This was supposed to be an interview where Kamala would try to win over some of the independents (?) or even conservatives watching Fox. But surely she shouldn't have been expecting a friendly interview. Among the highlights (it started badly, went on worse) was when there was (apparently) no actual preparation to the obvious follow-up and rhetorical maneuver of the interviewer, when Kamala called Trump unstable, to ask her about Biden.
Btw, what's with Trump's partly orange partly white face? ^^ At least before he was consistently orange.

By the end of the interview Baier looks pretty stupid.
It is a fake tan, so he has probably grabbed the fanny of all the people who are good at applying it.Btw, what's with Trump's partly orange partly white face? ^^ At least before he was consistently orange.
This interview was a slam dunk for Harris. Its obvious that she wasn't expecting a friendly interview and it wasn't friendly at all. She went into hostile territory and gave FOX News viewers information that they would never have gotten otherwise. She was clearly well prepared, with a plan to fend off all of Baier's criticisms and attempts to diminish her. One of the best parts was when Baier desperately tried to change the subject to Biden, and Harris cooly and firmly reminded him that Biden wasn't on the ballot. What was so great about that is that Trump fanbois loved mocking and talking about Biden being old and his cognitive decline and so on, then trying to hide their bias for Trump by BSAB'ing the age issue... but once Biden dropped out they stopped talking about age and cognitive decline, despite it being painfully obvious with Trump. Baier was pandering to the Trump fanbois who are seething that Biden isn't in the race anymore, because they can't dunk on Biden being old/senile/etc. They are burning up over it, and Baier was trying to throw them a bone by bringing up Biden.

I wouldn't call that brave either ^^ Looks almost like he did it himself.It is a fake tan, so he has probably grabbed the fanny of all the people who are good at applying it.
I do feel it is something we should not ridicule though. Fake tan is so much better for you than the real thing, and most people cannot afford to do it well so we should not make fun of anyone brave enough to look like that in public.
Is there a poll of Fox viewers on this? Because I am unsure if you are being tongue-in-cheek or not. The target group was indeed those ultra conservative or fellow travelers, same as with the Cheney endorsement.This interview was a slam dunk for Harris. She went into hostile territory and gave FOX News viewers information that they would never have gotten otherwise. She swept away any criticism about her taking interviews, because now even the FOX News faithful will recognize that they saw her do an interview, because she came onto their network.
Bret Baier was on the back foot the entire interview, rudely trying to talk over her and trying not to let her answer any of his questions or point out anything negative about Trump. He even half apologizes to her at one point for talking over her. By the end she has Bret Baier nodding in agreement with her. Harris completely crushed it in this interview and even some of the Trump fanbois saw it.
What do you mean by "Fox viewers"? I think I get what you are trying to say, but it does not make much sense, at least not in the way I think you mean it. Let me explain.Is there a poll of Fox viewers on this?
No. That's completely wrong. You're looking at it the wrong way. Like I said, you (and your "fellow travelers") are not the target audience. The "target audience" was/is undecided voters, and moderate conservative voters, particularly and especially women, who really don't want to vote for Trump, but feel like they don't know much about Harris (because all they watch for news is FOX News).The target group was indeed those ultra conservative or fellow travelers, same as with the Cheney endorsement.
Harris should just have called Baier "Nasty", and also call for Foxnews to lose it's license, and she'd be on par with Trump.Bret Baier was on the back foot the entire interview, rudely trying to talk over her and trying not to let her answer any of his questions or point out anything negative about Trump.

the audience is pretty classic "WTH is he talking about". LOL he keeps running against Biden.
Listen to the question.
Listen to the "answer".
Look at the face of the person asking the question ... "day of love"
6 minutes of rambling, grievance, lying and complaining about the 2020 election, without answering the question or saying anything substantive, as usual.

I'm not sure that helped Trump with Hispanics. "Climate change is not important but Kamala Harris will get us into nuclear war!"

I think it may help her even with people who don't watch the interview. Just hearing that she was willing to go on Fox may make a favorable impression since for years now, neither side has bothered engaging the other side by agreeing to an interview by the hostile network. It's the opposite of Hillary's "deplorables" comment. It signals that you want to be president for all Americans. It signals that you have the courage of your own convictions. It showed that she can hold her own in an unfriendly environment (women have to prove that they're tough; men enjoy the assumption that they are). In correcting Baier, she got to say things that right-siloed people might not previously even have heard about Trump. It's unlikely, in itself, to have actually won her a vote, but neither will it have lost her one, and it may add in an incremental way to people's positive impressions of her.She swept away any criticism about her not taking interviews, because now even the FOX News faithful will recognize that they saw her do an interview, because she came onto their network. Even Trump fans will know that she was courageous to come onto FOX and take a tough interview. Bret Baier went after her, as expected from FOX News interviewing a Democratic candidate, and she stayed poised and comfortable, in control of the interview the entire time. Baier was flailing and desperate to land some blow against her, he completely failed and it was obvious.
