The way most candidates should handle something like this, is to put out a book. Then reporter's questions can be addressed by saying, "Well, I wrote a book about it last year, and apologized for my past behavior, you can read the details there."

The problem with that is Kamala Harris didn't know what political position she needed to have last year. Last year's book might have needed to be a complete apology for her stance as tough on crime or it might have needed to be trumping her strong record. Only the events of the last year have made it clear exactly what position she wants to take.

That's why politicians should write multiple books to cover every possibility.

and thus the ghost writer industry turned to statistics to predict the tide of their topics for their esteemed hosts, whilst wall street made bets on which book ending would make it to final print.
