'Word Salad City': Harris Town Hall In Philly Goes As Bad As You'd Expect

Kamala Harris' completed another descending spin around her doom loop on Wednesday night: Lagging Trump in battleground states and therefore under pressure to increase her interactions with voters, she participated in a prime-time town hall that only further exposed her as one of the most superficial politicians of our time...with more poll damage sure to follow. 

The town hall was hosted by CNN and took place in Delaware County. Along with Chester, Bucks and Montgomery, it's one of four Philadelphia "collar counties" that have traditionally played an outsize role in determining who wins Pennsylvania's electoral votes.

You know things went bad when even the New York Times raked Harris over the coals for being evasive, saying: "Voters asked direct question. Harris gave circular answers." After the event, CNN's Dana Bash said, “What I’m hearing from people who I’ve been talking to … if her goal was to close the deal, they’re not sure she did that." Seasoned Democratic operative David Alexrod called out Harris' signature flaw: “The things that would concern me is when she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to Word Salad City."
