Kamala Harris is who she is — no agenda but an agenda to succeed for all Americans. Her appearance on 60 Minutes was nothing short of winning, especially side-by-side with her Republican counterpart Mike Pence.
What a breath of fresh air. In eight days.
Watch a choice cut:
Are we really believing Stahl told him they'd have a “lovely interview”? (Image via video still)
“You're president — don't you think you should be accountable to the American people?” Lesley Stahl asked Trump when he began throwing a tantrum over her tough interview questions. Silly her — he does not believe in accountable to anyone in any way.

Watching Trump and Biden answer questions from 60 Minutes is a study in why they are where they are in the polls. Biden allows discussion of a hot-button topic in a thoughtful way, Trump trumpets his past (illusory) successes.
The Trump portion was from before he stormed out of his interview with Lesley Stahl in a fit of pique:
WATCH: President Trump was asked by @LesleyRStahl about his priorities — before cutting his interview short.@60Minutes has a history of asking tough questions of presidential candidates during the run-up to the election.

Biden is open to adjusting the Supreme Court, but he also — sensibly — sees how this could be a dangerous and even futile precedent. There is nothing I would like more than to toss Cardi B and a Democratic fetus onto the Court in retribution for the packing the Court has endured, but it's not a bad thing for the Democratic nominee for POTUS to be cautious on this topic.
Meanwhile, Trump told Lesley Stahl — same reporter — in 2016:
You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.
Also worth noting: Trump had previously said he would leak his 60 Minutes interview before airtime in retribution for unfair treatment ... and it was another broken promise. UPDATE: I stand corrected! Because rules, agreements and norms do not apply, and whaddayagonnado, sue me?, Trump did release a recording of his 37 minutes with 60 Minutes.

President-elect Trump is already fuzzy on promises and statements he's made, but he isn't a fool—he gonna dance with the racist and the apathetic-to-racism voters who brung him.
On 60 Minutes, airing tonight, he says he plans the immediate deportation of between 2 and 3 million people. Those he can't deport he will lock up in our for-profit prison system.
See, he thinks 2 -3 million immigrants currently here are criminals—drug dealers, rapists.
So don't ask me to get over it, because this nutjob is exactly who he promised he would be.
