One thing we were all waiting for during the campaign was for Kamala Harris to go on Joe Rogan's massively popular podcast and speak without a script for three hours. There were some talks with the campaign, which insisted the segment be limited to one hour, that Rogan pack up his studio and go to where Harris was, and that the campaign had editorial control over the interview.

Needless to say, the appearance never materialized. 

Jen O'Malley Dillon, chair of Harris for President, said on a podcast that Harris wanted to do the interview but, ultimately, they just couldn't find a date for Harris to travel to Houston, even though Harris made it to Houston with her huge rally at which Beyoncé didn't perform but instead lectured for four minutes about abortion … and was reportedly paid millions to do it.

Would appearing on Rogan have tipped the scales? Dillion says probably not, and she's right. But it likely wouldn't have hurt.

CNN senior media analyst Brian Stelter, working with a transcript of a Pod Save America episode, noted that Stephanie Cutter — remember her from Barack Obama's 2012 campaign? — complained that Donald Trump did "no traditional media" and "got not s**t for that," according to Dillion.

Hindsight is 20/20, and Harris didn't do interviews.

Sad.

Even one hour without a script would have been a disaster.

Were they trying to lose?

You should hear James Carville's profanity-filled rant about Harris not appearing on Rogan. Stay tuned for that.
