Nicole Shanahan: Kamala Harris evaded issues in a way that left Americans frustrated

former RFK Junior running mate Nicole Shanahan is here Nicole what happened last night I think what happened was is we saw two candidates speaking to their bases very effectively and tens of millions Americans watching and walking away wondering to themselves oh gosh what do I do now I was really hoping for something more and people are disappointed in in kamla for not expressing more details in her plan which she said the word plan many times but none of us really walked away with an understanding of what any of these plans were um and then people looking to Trump and and hoping that we would see Trump talking about things in new and innovative ways um but it was very much the Trump that we're used to and um and that leaves all of us Independents in the middle really looking and grasping for you know some clarity and and I think what we want to see is teammates I think we really want to see a debate team we want to see people around these individuals that are speaking on their behalf or with them and talking about how they're going to make and execute their white house um in the direction that Americans are hungry for and I have to say the one thing Trump did was he talked about the topics Americans care about the most right now which are inflation at the border and War um and he really really did hone in on showing his passion and his commitment to solving those three very large issues um kamla kind of evaded them in ways that I think left many Americans frustrated was kamla evasive because she decided to be evasive or were the people running kamla the machine were they telling her not to say anything that she believes in and who are those people it's a you know I think the vehicle behind KLA and and I said this yesterday in my post- debate commentary it you we've got Black Rock in Kiev running a war in Ukraine enriching themselves in very significant ways we have big Pharma behind kamla that is really relying on the Affordable Care Act to directionally continue in the direction it's been going which is you know very very expensive prices and and kind of underd deliver of services and really an accounting um of an ongoing swath of of very sick people in this country and so you know I think what she did was she was very polish she was very prepared but Americans are feeling these issues in a very visceral way that her talking points and her sophistication weren't really able to somehow manipulate around um and even if that was their goal it you know Americans walked away just kind of feeling let down by last night's performance does comma connect with people I don't see it do you you know I I come from the liberal Progressive world and the community I come came from um come from they they thought she did great she looked polished she sounded polished um next to Trump she looked very strong to the intellectual liberal Community um but when you kind of dig deeper and and this is why I encourage the intellectual liberal Community to go out there and connect with Americans everyday Americans because when you do that you realize that that how out of touch many of these Elite um Democrats actually are working class Americans did did working class Americans hear Kamala last night and say yes I feel her I feel something there that she cares and has a solution did they feel that yeah it it's it's missing um but again like I can't say Trump left you know many undecided voters feeling great either maybe feeling more secure um feeling like there is a strong man in the room who's going to take care of business um but you know I think that people wanted to see something from Trump that maybe looked a little bit like a combination of trump and Bobby Kennedy together and we have 54 days until the election Jesse and I think we still have a chance to show undecided voters what this partnership really is all about we've seen flashes of that Trump and everybody aspires to see that again but it doesn't always come through maybe it will later uh but we can only hope thank you so much Nicole Shanahan have a great night click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis you won't get it anywhere [Music] [Music] else fore spee speee [Music]
