Subject: Re: The Fox News Strategy Against Harris
Have you ever listened to Harris speak for more than 30 seconds? She lacks the ability to speak extemporaneously- seriously. After a bit she just starts issuing word salads.

Sure - she's not an outstanding public speaker. But her mediocrity at public speaking is just that...being a poor public speaker. Because she's in her 50's, and not 78, that's going to be impossible to frame as a mental cognition issue the way Trump's word salads can be attacked.

It's the flip side to the Biden issue. Biden's campaign didn't crater because he had a "bad debate" or did a poor job speaking extemporaneously - his campaign immolated because his speech patterns made it clear that he had suffered cognitive decline that made everyone doubt his ability to serve as a candidate.

The Democrats are going to turn that back on Trump as an element of their campaign salvo. And just as Trump's word salads didn't stop him from effectively using that against Biden (or force him to go in a glass skyscraper), it's unlikely that Harris' poor public speaking will stop her.

It's Trump's turn in the "too old to serve" barrel.
