The Democrats could had avoided this problem. They could have allowed another primary candidateWell I for one could feel the guiding hands of Jesus and the Virgin Mary in Kamala's presence during the interview. (guess what that is).
She is building, in a fraction of the time candidates normally have. It was bland and safe, the next outing will be more bread and circuses.
But she can talk and is not an imbicile as Fox and ANN etc. were shovelling to make Trump feel less worried.
The reason we don't clamour is that we don't fixate on star players as saviours.
Kamala, somebody else, whatever as long as they are committed to preserving the appearance of norms that we ourselves have built our identity on, like honour, loyalty, sacrifice, you know stuff for suckers and losers.
They could have been honest ad not hide an ill presidrnt

back from the other side of the pond and it was almost, but not quite as much fun as a good, solid, kick in the head.
