Fair.  I was really looking for a general vibe of the interview.  How she came off in a hostile environment.

Dems think she did great. Republicans think she bombed

So….exactly what anyone would expect

A sampling

Interestingly when I went back to pull these my “For You Page” was completely lacking of any responses to the interview. However, as I read through the page 10-15 mins ago there were tons of random tweets about it. Again by and large positive. All gone now. Weird…

So, I ordered a few things from the HarrisWalz campaign store back on 9/16.  As of today, they still have not shipped, so I told the folks running it (based in Austin) to either refund me, or convert my order to a donation, but I am not going to wait longer for fulfillment and shipping. Not happy with that, but it is what is is.  I am sure they did not anticipate the overwhelming response, but it it still frustrating.

The hat was an obvious hit and it’s criminal that they couldn’t roll it out en-masse. On-Demand hat and shirt embroidery exists and only takes a short time to turn around as long somebody’s willing to pay for it.

The fact that the Democrat grifter/consultant class would apparently rather limit themselves to well connected vendors in this situation instead of help their supporters stand up and testify is classic D.
These people couldn’t get Jesus Christ elected night-soil  collector without Republican help.

To be fair, nobody would hate and actively campaign against the actual Jesus Christ than Republicans.  Jesus Christ is 100% unelectable.  And not just because he's.....(((you know))).

I’ve seen a few folks say that they think she performs better in a fairly hostile environment than in a friendly one. Her answers in some of the clips I’ve seen tonight seem crisper and stronger than the ones that have come out on her podcast tour.
Sort of makes sense, given her background.

You could hear the echo in the room when she raised her voice at one point.  You go, girl!

Not super impressed with her on this Fox interview. The combative tone was probably good under the circumstances, but she got led around on the border. It's find to push back on the premise of questions, but if you accept it and don't answer it comes off as evasive doubletalk. She got much better when the questions changed to the economy

With the exception of one moment I don’t have a problem with BB or thr way this interview was handled. 
I do have a problem that Fox and the   traditional media don’t handle all their candidate issues this way, including Donald Trump.

Today, a white conservative voter in Georgia called in on black Sirius to say that he early voted for MVP. Explained why he remains a staunch conservative, and why he could not vote in good conscience, vote for a crazy as hell DJT…said that had Nikki Haley been on the ballot, he would have voted for her in a heartbeat.

Fox News hosted an all-women town hall with former President Donald Trump, billed as an opportunity for female voters to ask the Republican candidate questions that matter to them.

The Georgia town hall, where Trump took questions on reproductive laws, transgender rights and other issues, aired Wednesday morning. But Fox News did not disclose that the female audience it selected for the event was packed with local Republican supporters and the network edited its broadcast to remove some of their vocal advocacy of Trump.

 

Quote

The Georgia Federation of Republican Women wrote on its Facebook page Wednesday that the group helped host the event, posting photos from the venue and writing they were “Super excited for the opportunity of hosting this event right here in Georgia!”

Shortly after CNN reached out to the group and Fox News about their role, the post was edited to state they were “excited for the opportunity of attending this event right here in Georgia!”

 

Quote

Republican Women of Forsyth County also posted a video from the event showing attendees chatting with Trump and Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

A Fox News spokesperson told CNN the event was not hosted by any Republican group and that it was the network’s event alone. But the right-wing outlet did not disclose the makeup of the audience in its press release announcing the town hall or in Faulkner’s introduction, stating only that it was “held with an audience entirely composed of women.”

 

Spoiler

The first question posed to Trump at the town hall came from a woman identified as Lisa, who asked the former president a question about the economy. The network did not disclose that Lisa is also the president of the Fulton County Republican Women group.

The local Republican groups did not respond to CNN requests for comment Wednesday.

Some of the town hall attendees made it clear they were supporters of the former president, either in their questioning or in their attire.

“I want to thank you for coming to a room full of women the current administration would consider domestic terrorists,” a woman named Alicia said to laughter from the audience before a question about foreign policy.

But a portion of Alicia’s question was edited by Fox News to remove her admission that she was voting for Trump.

“I proudly cast my vote for you today. I hope they count it,” she added, according to an audio recording from a CNN reporter in attendance.

While it’s common for a pre-taped event or interview to be edited for time, Alicia’s short remark came in the middle of her question, which remained intact on the broadcast.

During another moment missing from Fox’s broadcast, Trump asked the crowd who they were voting for, leading to a chant of “Trump, Trump” breaking out by the attendees.

Fox News did not respond to CNN questions about the missing remarks.

The crowd of women was overwhelmingly supportive of the former president, welcoming Trump with a standing ovation and often breaking out into applause during his responses. When Trump called President Joe Biden “the worst president in history” and Vice President Kamala Harris “the worst vice president,” the crowd burst into cheers.

One woman in the crowd wore an “RNC Delegate” hat. Another named Rachel wore a Trump pin visible on her blazer as she asked the former president a question.

When Faulkner asked the audience whether they opposed “biological men and boys competing against women and girls in sports,” nearly every hand in the room was raised, the Fox host noted. According to CNN’s fact check of the event, Trump made at least 19 false claims in the one-hour town hall. Faulkner did not fact check Trump on stage.

The UK-based news outlet The Independent, which reported from the Georgia event, spoke with attendees and noted many “were from Republican groups around the area whom Fox News invited.”

Rachel, who wore a Trump pin while asking the candidate a question, was later interviewed on Fox News. Though she was identified by anchor Sandra Smith as a Trump supporter, the woman pushed back on The Independent’s reporting.

“I’m nobody and I’m not registered with anybody,” she said. “I found out about this meeting late through my local county Facebook page.”

We really need to revise our national elections so that any candidate that gets over 50% wins outright, with a deferral to the electoral college if not.  Would encourage national campaigning, increase the importance of third parties, and swing states would still keep their significance in close elections.
I've thought that splitting EC voted might have this effect. If Dems thought they could squeeze 7-10 EC votes out of Texas can you imagine how much more money would be spent in Texas? Imagine what that would mean for Dem candidates down the ballot? Texas Dem Party might actually have to make an effort and find some candidates.

Why would Stormy Daniels owe Trump any money?

If memory serves, she lost the defamation suit and owes fees (I think due to shitty counsel, but that's just how I recall it).

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/05/31/stormy-daniels-still-owes-trump-money/73919980007/

 

Quote

Porn star Stormy Daniels - who is at the heart of the hush money case that landed Donald Trump a conviction Thursday - still owes the former president more than half a million dollars in legal fees.

The debt stems from a failed defamation case brought by Daniels against Trump in 2018, where she was ordered to repay Trump for attorney's fees. It was filed after Daniels had released a composite sketch of a man she claimed threatened her to stay quiet about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Trump dismissed the sketch as a "con job" on X, formerly Twitter.

 

Quote

A judge dismissed the case, labeling Trump’s tweet as “rhetorical hyperbole” and noting that it was protected by the First Amendment. 

Daniels said in her testimony during the hush money trial that her former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who is now in prison for embezzlement and other crimes, wanted to file the lawsuit. Trump has sued Daniels in Florida to get the money, but she still hasn't paid, she testified. 

She also confirmed on the witness stand to Trump lawyer Susan Necheles that she owed Trump $560,000 in legal fees. When asked if that was before interest, Daniels replied, “I would assume, yes.”

 

Quote

Daniels’ lawyer Clark Brewster told USA TODAY the amount she owes Trump is a moving target given the growing interest but it's "$600,000 or $620,000, somewhere in that range." 

At one point during a cross examination with Necheles, Daniels said about the case that Trump “prevailed, but I was not found to have lost.”

In an interview with USA TODAY on Friday, Brewster said he and Daniels intend to fight paying Trump the money the court says she owes Trump.

“That’s a pending matter” in Florida, Brewster said, “and we'll defend on whatever grounds are available to us there.”
