“I think it's a double standard and it's a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her, but also because they're still grappling with the idea like, oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief? I mean, I really, really have to think about this. Well, maybe I need to know more. I don't want to make a mistake. And this is particularly true. Let's just say it and underline it for white women. You know, I was told by Adam Grant, whom I'm sure you know. I do it.”

“She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase. In fact, she's put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has, you know, plans about what to do. She's got the good things that she was part of in the Biden administration. She can continue to talk about and even, I think, highlight the jobs that are being created, clean energy, all of that.”

“I think she also did very effectively something that I want to see her do a lot of between now and the election. And that was to reference what other leaders, leaders around the world, but also people in our own country, national security leaders, defense leaders, people who had worked with Trump. They're all coming out and sounding the alarm about him. That has to be front and center. You need to do everything you can in this election to put people who should and do know better. On the defensive to justify being for somebody who's chief of staff from the White House says is untrustworthy and should not be near power, whose national security advisor, former defense secretary, the list goes on. You know, part of what I tried to do in this book was to talk about the stakes. It is, of course,”

“Thing that I really liked about her performance is that she stood up to him, which you have to do. She exposed him, but she did it as a joyful warrior. I mean, she kept that smile on her face, you know, some Republican magotypes criticize her for having expressions. Well, you know what? I found that very relatable. You know, because, you know, he would say these ridiculous things and she would have the same look that a normal person would have hearing this from a guy, you know, at the grocery store that you ran into. Right. So I thought she handled her assignment extremely well. And it was, you know, it was very different from what I faced in 2016. And she was able to kind of pocket some of what I tried to do and also having the knowledge that enough people knew about him. To be able to go from there”

“An Anscene presidential and tough commander in chiefish, and also talk about her policies. So she's got a much more difficult task than he does because he just, you know, bears down on what he's always done and what works for him. But I think she's gotten much more ground that she can cover now.”

“Yeah, and I think she very effectively did reach out to swing voters. I mean, she talked about small businesses. She talked about the opportunity economy. She talked about making homeownership affordable for people. So this was very intentional. She wanted to expose Trump, which she did very well, but she also wanted to speak directly to the camera, to those if there are undecided voters, swing voters, however you characterize them, about both her temperament that I am on your side. I am going to be your president. I see”

“Well, I think what he should do, he's incapable of doing. Is so clearly comfortable only being divisive and dark. He doesn't have an optimistic view of America and he doesn't think it's in his political interest to have one. So he can't expand his reach very far. He has to keep hammering the people who already are attracted by that dystopian view of our country and make sure that they actually turn out and vote for him. She has to do what she did so well in her speech at the convention, what she did on the debate stage, which is to reassure people she's going to be the president of everybody. You know, she is not going to be the president just for black women, children of immigrants, Democrats. I mean, she's the president for everybody. And she must have said that two or three times. And it's something that I thought was really important for her to do because”

“Exactly. You can be both. You can be absurd, which he is in so many ways in the way he talks, the way he behaves. You know, we threw everything at him in 2016, trying to see what would stick because it was so new to people. She has greater range. We tried to define him as corrupt and mean and narcissistic and unprepared and impulsive, all of which he is. But we couldn't break through for a lot of different reasons. Now I think people have enough experience with him. They may still vote for him because they may still decide that, oh, well, yeah, he may be all these things, but I still like X or Y about him. But they can't say they weren't warned. They can't say that they didn't have that information.”

“I think eight years on, and especially four years of his presidency, people could see that he did things they were worried about. Part of the reason he lost in 2020 was because of the very bad way he handled COVID. So people were like, hey, God, I don't want to go through that again. And then the idiocy about drink bleach and all the rest of it. So, I think there was a kind of platform that had been established”

“I think one follows the other. You know, when I was running against him and debating him. Most people knew about him was that they'd seen him on TV and he was a really successful businessman who was strong and tough and fired people and all of that. They didn't know anything more about him and they didn't really pay a lot of attention to the things he was saying because he was just so entertaining and it was like watching a train wreck. They couldn't believe what's he going to say next? Who's he going to insult next? It was very entertaining, kind of the sequel to the apprentice. So I had to do a lot of things at once and it was, you know, to warn people in my convention speech, I said, you know, you can't trust a guy with nuclear weapons who can be baited by a tweet. So, you know, we did both. We tried to sound the alarm about danger, but we also, you know, tried to ridicule him, which was so well deserved.”

“And yeah, he channels Trump. He plays Trump. He puts makeup on like Trump. He puts lifts in his shoes. He fixes his hair weird. I mean, he literally compare it what Trump has said in a way that is just uncanny. And I know that, you know, I don't think there was anything she was surprised by because she had been so well prepared.”

“With respect to the debate, I had full confidence in the people preparing her. Karen Dunn is an extraordinary, not just debater, but incredibly smart communicator. Philippe Reinas can literally channel the kind of bullying.”

“But I've been speaking with her fairly regularly. For a number of years. I've known her for a long time. Her sister Maya actually worked with me in the 2016 campaign, traveled on the plane with me. When she was running for president, when she was selected to be vice president, she would call me. She would ask for advice when she was putting her office together. A number of the people. That were advising her were people that I knew well. So there was nothing unusual about this conversation going into the debate. Literally within 30, 40 minutes of President Biden withdrawing and endorsing Kamala. I talked with her. She knew that Bill and I had endorsed her.”

“I feel so relieved, excited, optimistic. I knew she would do well because I had a lot of confidence both in her and the team that was preparing her, I thought, would literally get her ready for any kind of stunt he would pull or anything he might say. But she even exceeded my high expectations. I thought that her ability to expose him by triggering him so that people could see in real time this is a man who is unhinged, incoherent, and dangerous. And so The main goal of the preparation was to give her a chance to contrast herself with him so that people who are just tuning in, who maybe Kara didn't know much about her, even though she's been vice president for four years, would see her in command, could envision her as president. And I think all that happened.”
