The Vice-President has answered few direct questions since becoming the presumptive nominee. This is probably good for her campaign, but not for voters.

As wildly different as Harris and Trump are, their campaigns seem to share a degree of indifference to the specifics of what their candidates are saying, because both campaigns realize that many of their voters are unconcerned about such details—or, at the very least, are unlikely to be moved by them. What matters to many voters right now is their hatred and fear, however justified, of the opposing candidate, and the fun they have calling the other side weird, dangerous, and deranged.

    Remember when presidential candidates used to run on policies?

      I remember plenty of presidential candidates who lost by running on policy, most recently Hillary Clinton.

      Obama (and for that matter Reagan) won because they inspired people, not because they were policy wonks.
