Harris trolls Trump at Vegas rally and LA fundraiser, says her crowds are 'pretty big'

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris poked at Donald Trump over crowd sizes, his refusal to debate again and his privileged background on Sunday as she hauled in campaign cash in California and held a raucous rally at the same Nevada venue where the Republican nominee had appeared just two weeks ago.

During the presidential debate, Harris appeared to get under the former president's skin when she said people were leaving his rallies early because of his rambling speeches. And she's kept it up on the campaign trail.

The vice president told donors at a tony Los Angeles fundraiser that, as she campaigns around the country, her “crowds are pretty big.” And then before a roaring Las Vegas crowd estimated at 7,500, she renewed her jabs at Trump over being reluctant to debate again, saying, “The American people have a right to hear us discuss the issues. And as you say here in Las Vegas, I’m all in. I’m all in.”

Harris’ four-day West Coast trip had dual purposes: She opened and closed it with stops in Sun Belt battlegrounds — Arizona and Nevada — where the vice president is trying to shore up support as Trump pounds her relentlessly over illegal migration. And her mid-stay in California was devoted to hauling in campaign contributions from donors in her blue home state.

"Vice President Kamala Harris poked at Donald Trump..."

"...Harris appeared to get under the former president's skin..."

"...she renewed her jabs at Trump..."

VS.

"...as Trump pounds her relentlessly over illegal migration."

She "pokes," "jabs," and "appears to get under (his) skin," while he "pounds her relentlessly."

Gawd. So sick of this seemingly innocuous but obvious insidious crap.

I need a GD break.

"Infotainment" is the currency of the realm, now. Newsrooms and news divisions have to show a profit now and, with the demise of classified advertising in newspapers and its accompanying revenue, it's all about garnering clicks and views with people who have been exposed to little more than breathless announcements of "you won't believe what happens next!!111!111!!!"
