David Axelrod:Kamala Harris 的竞选活动唤起了人们对希望、变革和团结的渴望,这与 2008 年奥巴马竞选类似。Harris 将自己定位为主流美国价值观的代表,与特朗普的极端政治形成对比。他认为,选民更倾向于相信自己所见所闻,而非媒体宣传,而特朗普的行为正好印证了民主党人的说法。他认为,特朗普的频繁露面反而有利于 Harris 竞选,因为他无法控制自己,暴露了其缺点。Axelrod 还高度评价了 DNC 的组织工作,特别是 Stephanie Cutter 的贡献。他分析了 Harris 目前面临的挑战和机遇,并强调了即将到来的辩论的重要性。他建议 Harris 在辩论中保持冷静,直接与选民沟通,而不是与特朗普进行直接对抗。他还分析了特朗普的竞选策略及其局限性,并指出 Harris 已经成功地将自己塑造成变革的代表,而特朗普则代表着现状。 Michael Beschloss:他认为过去一个月发生了巨大的转变,拜登退出竞选,Harris 成为候选人,并举办了一次成功的 DNC。他指出副总统职位通常会削弱个人的影响力,但 Harris 现在摆脱了这一限制,展现出其领导能力。他分析了 DNC 中出现的主题,如自由、爱国主义和团结,并指出这些主题具有历史渊源,并能引起人们的情感共鸣。他认为,将特朗普描绘成滑稽可笑的同时,也要强调其危险性,这两种策略需要结合使用。他高度评价了 DNC 的成功,并指出 Harris 在演讲中没有过多强调其历史意义,而是专注于展现其能力和经验。他分析了民主党内部的身份政治及其作用,并指出,此次 DNC 反映了党内的团结。他还对共和党在特朗普再次失败后的未来走向进行了预测。 Preet Bharara:作为主持人,Preet Bharara 主要负责引导话题,提出问题,并对嘉宾的观点进行总结和补充。
