I guess I didn't see the interview you're referring to. Which questions did she flub?

She had a couple of major word salads on the "60 Minutes" interview and on "The View", when asked if she'd have done anything differently than Joe Biden and she responded, "I can't think of a single thing", and then spent most of the rest of the interview trying to walk that back. The Trump campaign quickly flooded the zone with ads with that soundbyte. Not sure it'll pack the same punch as "I was for it before I was against it" but she should have been prepared with a better answer to such an easy question.

What answer, though? She's VP. I don't see what else she could have said.

Of all the questions the campaign should have anticipated and had her fully prepared for, that one should have been very high on the list given Biden's low approval rating.

And what should or could she have said?

I don't have that answer. The well-paid campaign handlers who prepped her for the interviews should have. Simply pointing out her 28% capital gains tax proposal versus Biden's proposed 40% would have been enough to get through a friendly interview on "The View".

"Of course I would have done some things differently, as I am my own person, but President Biden has done an amazing job dealing with the wreckage left by Donald Trump's presidency - the deaths from covid, the inflation caused by Trump's policies and inaction, and the very poor planning that Trump took in pulling out of Afghanistan. I'd like to think that the biggest thing I would have done differently is communicate a little more with the American people to explain how these terrible things happened, and who was responsible for them. Moving on to my plan to correct Trump's mistakes..."

Oops....she said "there's not one thing that comes to mind" rather than the quote I said.
