Grading VP Harris's Visit to Munich

 Basically, the 'show' for the US at this security conference in Munich was Speaker Pelosi, Secretary of State Blinken, and VP Harris.  

Most of the journalists avoided Pelosi.  Blinken had the standard ten questions thrown at him, and did his usual routine. 

Then you come to VP Harris, who had roughly 45 minutes of question-time. 

On the theme of answers....I'd give her a '5' (scale of one to ten).  It wasn't a disaster....but it just seemed like every answer was coming out of a mouth of a 13-year old school-girl.

On believably/trust?  I'd give her a '6'.  Maybe people were expecting a more experienced person on the international scale, but that's simply not her background.

Finally, giving people some element of courage?  That was probably between a '3' and '4'.  

If you were looking for some team effort to reassure the public....these three came in, lacking the skills to accomplish that.
