That voters generally prefer government experience for the job of running the government which does make sense. That is why it is pretty common to attack a candidate by going after their experience and qualifications. Here is the special report about something that really matters and you may hear about at the debate next weekend into the election. President biden spent his life in government and everybody knows that. When democrats began to look at kamala harris as his replacement, republicans rushed to question her competence in government experience and let me remind you that donald trump put out the word that she was too inexperienced. And from there the headlines came out that she was unqualified and some said she was the most unqualified candidate around and you can see the reports hitting this and the basic maga attack here is on experience. And then some of them mix it in with the claim that she wasn t only inexperienced but somehow only rising as a kind of an experienced unqual ....

That delay, that gap is it really interesting. Because we know this isnt the only information that american intelligence had about possible russian attempts to influence the election. So there it were other channels coming in at the same time. Also highlights the degree to which the fbi was put in an almost impossible position later in the campaign.
