Saw the interview, and I'm not going to compare it with Trump interviews because I don't see a point to that and I'm judging her interviews on their own. I didn't like her non-answers and dodging of a few questions such as why she changed her views on fracking and a couple more that I'm forgetting now. Dana Bash would even go back and re-ask the question after Harris goes off about other things in her answer. It's obvious that she's decided to just ignore Trump's insults and not even acknowledge them, which I think is a smart move. Letting him go off and look like a child without hitting back is a smart move as it feels like you can't win that back and forth with him. That interview still has me concerned about how she'll be in the debate. I'm starting to wonder if she simply let's her nerves get to her in live interviews without a script, which prevents her from putting together really strong answers which I've seen her be very capable of prior to becoming VP. I'm still not convinced that she'll answer questions in the debate without going around in circles without answering the question. If Trump catches on to that and says something like, "I don't think anybody knows what she just said, but since she dodged the question, I'll answer it directly", it'll look bad.
Credit to Bash for asking Walz directly the questions around why he lied about the "going to battle" thing and him and his wife getting IVF, when it was apparently not that they got. I wasn't aware of those things, but Walz answered them both clearly and direct, without dodging.
