I too am frustrated by nationally read pundits who keep asserting that Harris is not offering enough details on her policy plans. Dean points out that she has in fact made her position clear on the issues most important to most voters. By contrast, my local paper here in tiny Easton, MD reprinted an AP story about Trump's speech yesterday in North Carolina focusing on women. Here's what Trump said: "“I will protect women at a level never seen before. They will finally be healthy, hopeful, safe and secure,” Trump said. “Their lives will be happy, beautiful, and their lives will be great again. So women, we love you. We’re going to take care of you.” It goes on to say "The former president said women won’t have to think about abortion because decisions about regulating it are now left to the states." So, Trump asserts that women will be better off if he is elected. How? Why? Via what specific policies? The AP story does point out those problems. So, Peggy Noonan and your fellow pundits, will you write op-eds asking those questions? Any woman who walks away from that speech feeling reassured about a second Trump presidency is incapable of rational thought.
