 Why are Leftists losing their minds over Trump's McDonald's campaign appearance? Because it demonstrates that he likes and cares about regular Americans. That's genuine. As opposed to Kamala, who must receive a briefing session to pretend to care.

 My instant reaction to Kamala Harris' interview with Bret Baier. Let's just say it didn't go well. As in, the Hindenburg levels of not well. https://t.co/HuLFkLv9rS https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1846693004653830144/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/BLchMIFzBgvg8voW.mp4?tag=12

 It's not just that Harris is foolish or incoherent. It's the sneering disdain with which she treats even the possibility of having to answer questions or run a campaign. She was handed her vice presidency. Now she expects to simply be handed the presidency.

 Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with the aid to Gaza. This is about Israel's response to Iran. It's a threat that if Israel goes too hard (say, targets nuclear facilities or oil fields), Biden will claim it's about the Gaza aid and cut off military aid.
