Marc Thiessen: “She (Kamala) is the least examined major party nominee in American history…”
Video transcript
>> Joining me now, Marc Thiessen, former speech writer to President Bush and Fox News contributor, Marc, great to see you. I mean, we had Haydn Biden, now we have Duck and Cover Kamala, Haydn and Slide and Biden, and now we've Duck and Cover Kamala. She will try to get through this election cycle without giving a major interview to a real journalist. >> Oh, 100%. I mean, look, she's rising in the polls right now, but it's a sugar high because all it is is that she's not an octogenarian who has dementia. That's why people are excited about her. She is the least examined major party nominee, probably in American history. She didn't make it to through the primaries, she didn't make it to Iowa in the first time around. She didn't go through a primary this time around, which means she didn't have a debate where Democrats attacked her record. She hasn't done a single town hall with voters, taking questions from voters, hasn't done a single major interview, hasn't done a press conference, and she's only gonna do one debate. Now we all know that one debate can ruin a presidential campaign so there's a great opportunity there for Donald Trump. >> Has it happened before in modern politics where they've only done one presidential debate? >> I think Ronald Reagan only had one debate with Jimmy Carter, but most of the time it's three debates at least, and they agreed to two. So Joe Biden took one of the debates, did she get a pass because the former nominee got to have took one of her debates? >> Okay. >> I think she ought to do, they agreed to two debates, they should do at least two. But one debate can end a presidential campaign, we just saw that with Joe Biden. >> Don't you agree that the meme campaign and the joyful stuff, that's all gonna kind of fall away in the debate, and it's going to be bait Donald Trump. To me, that's what they're gonna prep her to do, to bait him January 6th, or Charlottesville, or go back to, you don't like the way I look, or it's gonna be that kind of thing. >> They're gonna try and get him off his game. Look, if he goes into that debate the way he went into the debate with Joe Biden, and focuses on the record, and lays the traps and lets her fall into them, she is just as inarticulate as Joe Biden without the excuse of age. So you just need to give her a chance to get her off the teleprompter, and let her fall on her own face, she will do it. She hasn't given anything without a teleprompter yet, so he's just gotta be incredibly disciplined because this may be his one chance, this may be the one time we get her clean for an unscripted moment. >> Yeah, American Samoa just gave the roll call, we got the DJ up there, and yeah, Cassidy the DJ, so hopefully that will get everyone jazzed up. Mark, you wrote a great piece about the two factors that are most important in understanding the support that Donald Trump has, and that Kamala's vulnerabilities, really quickly what those are. >> So the two statistics you need to understand why all this, what Biden was saying yesterday didn't fell flat, is on Biden and Harris's watch, Americans have gone from the highest personal savings ever recorded to the highest personal debt ever recorded. All the savings were spent down, they now got record credit card debt, record personal debt and record interest rates, which means they can't get out of that debt, and it's compounding every month. >> That's right, real life, by the way, RFK has now, apparently they're trying to figure out whether they're gonna join forces with Trump. >> That would make a huge difference. >> That would indeed, I agree 100%, yes. >> He's either deciding whether he's gonna drop out or he's gonna join forces with Trump to beat the party that refused to allow him to have a real debate within the party. >> That would be quite a thing to have the son of Robert Kennedy endorsing the Republican candidate for the- >> In the end, will it have been a mistake for them to have shunned him aside as they did? >> I think very much so, yes. >> All right, we appreciate it. Thank you so much, Mark. >> Thank you.
