Policy U-turn but my values unchanged ... she is magic.

Unfortunately Kamala peaked too early and she risks the ride going south from here ... head to head fist fight with Donald to change her fortune for winning the presidency. Not forward looking, forgetting the crucial electorate of youth, independents and first time voters. Mainly on the defensive ... her big surge was the old man retiring ... now she's all naked, taking the bashing.

From your CNN link ...

"I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," she said.

"You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed - and I have worked on it - that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time."

Her campaign later said Harris does not continue to support the Green New Deal, a wide-ranging proposal to address climate change first introduced in 2019.

During a September 2019 climate crisis town hall hosted by CNN, Harris was asked if she would commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on her first day in office.

"There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking, and starting with what we can do on Day 1 around public federal lands," Harris said at the time.

By the time she had become Biden's running mate, she had moved away from that stance and even cast the tie breaking vote to expand fracking leases, as she noted to Bash.

Harris also did not expose any daylight between herself and Biden on the Middle East when asked directly if she would be doing anything differently, including limiting arm sales to Israel.

"We have to get a deal done. This war must end, and we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out," she said.

'Sapere aude'

Obviously, CNN recorded the interview for evening ("primetime") broadcast. No need to plumb nefarious reasoning for a decision to "meet them where they are". In any event, CNN accommodation ultimately did not flatter the travelers. This is the salient conclusion to the whole escapade.

I suppose, being vexed as I am by MSFT w32tm this week, I can't but help to polish one detail: eurotrib "EST" time stamp on my comment (above) links to CNN's promotional article.

Where I sit in Bal'more and in Savannah, GA, the time zone is Eastern + 1 hr Daylight Saving Time (EDT), or UTC -4. The most ignorant, litigious nation on planet "falls back" to Eastern Standard Time (EST, or UTC -5) 3 Nov.

The correct time should have been 10:04 PM-4 hr—6:04 PM EDT (18:04). This correction signifies only when I logged the article at eurotrib and confirms that CNN must have recorded video clips even earlier.

Isn't artificial intelligence grand!
