Kamala Harris Election Campaign

I think it's wrong to necessarily conclude that Walz is aiming to be POTUS. I think he thinks he is up for the job. But this is a humble guy from a small rural town. I think he thinks he can make a difference. And that's fun.

I also agree with boxerken. I don't think being CEO of a multinational is a good qualification to being President. Being CEO isn't about coalition building. Being the leader of a nation is. You can't just demand that something is to be done your way. This dictatorial way of thinking is dangerous. The nation also isn't a business. It's not just about profit and loss. It's about people. There is very little that is similar.

I wouldn't refer to the Trump Organization as a major multinational. It does own a few real estate properties outside the US but the majority of properties with the Trump name aren't owned by the Trump Organization. They license his name. It's a family business built mostly by Fred Trump, Donald's father.

I also wouldn't describe Trump as all that successful as a business leader.
Here are just some of Trump business failures.
1. Trump Steaks
2. GoTrump
3. Trump Airlines
4. Trump Vodka
5. Trump Mortgage
6. Trump: The Game
7. Trump Magazine
8. Trump University
9. Trump Ice
10. The New Jersey Generals
11. Tour de Trump
12. Trump Network
13. Trumped!
Here is a list of Trump businesses where Trump declared bankruptcy and his creditors paid for his failures.
1. Trump Taj Mahal
2. Trump’s Castle
3. Trump Plaza Casinos
4. Trump Plaza Hotel
5. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts
6. Trump Entertainment Resorts

Finally, Trump never ran any of his businesses in a fair or honorable manner. There's a reason Trump was convicted of 30+ plus counts of business fraud. He didn't pay his bills unless they were unavoidable and forced to. If he could take advantage of someone, he did. He was proud of this and even bragged about. He thought it was a good business practice. Hundreds of New York/New Jersey contractors/vendors found themselves defrauded by his business tactics.

Also being a senior executive of a company doesn't lead to developing the kind of work ethic needed to run a country. You can't just make grandiose pronouncements and leave it to your underlings to carry them out (unless you're a dictator)
 
Wasn't there a football franchise, set up to run during the months the NFL wasn't playing, that was doing fine until Trump got involved?

That was the USFL. Trump bought the Washington Generals team and strong armed the elague to play of the fall to directly compete with the NFL.

All with the aim of entering an anti-trust lawsuit that eventually earned the USFL $3 in damages and no costs. Even when the NFL were looking to do a deal they had no interest in T****y's team.

Nitpick. It was the New Jersey Generals. And it was a failure.
 
More attack ads on Harris. Now she’s “radical”. They use an obviously out of context interview where she says she is radical and then go on from there to try and make you scared of her.

No, what you are saying is not confusing. It also is completely irrelevant. Why that has to be repeated again and again is beyond me. Is DEI good policy? Yes? Ok. Why is anyone that can conceivably be considered the recipient of that policy immediately repelled at the prospect of that? Why, again, is its use not celebrated as positive change from the championed policy?

The answer can't be "because racists think its bad." You don't. Racists don't like a lot of policies. I don't see anyone backing off supporting Loving or Brown because racists dislike it. If you disagree with how they frame it, own your version and showcase its use.

"That person is a DEI hire" is a statement that has literally nothing to do with DEI policies. If you think it does, then you're either falling for a racist dog whistle or dishonestly repeating it.

Wow, calling someone they disagree with radical or far-left. It's so... Weird how predictable they are. Like robots.

You understand that the conversation pertains to her position as VP correct? That Biden did her no favors in this regard when he said "Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender, but I'm not making that commitment until I know that the person I'm dealing with I can completely and thoroughly trust as authentic and on the same page [as me]"

You're still missing the point. It's not about whether or not race/ethnicity/sex/gender factored in, but that "DEI hire" is a dog whistle for "oh look the sheriff is a broad and a-[sound of church bell going 'gong' really loudly]".

There's nothing wrong with deliberately breaking the monotony of hiring only old white men to positions of power, but responding seriously to something that's clearly only an insult, not a criticism made in good faith, is a waste of time. Life's too short.

Ya, but if you know who the Washington Generals are, you can see how easy it is to associate them with Trump
 
If they do debate, I wonder if Trump will Harris for "a good old DEI worksong"

When all it actually achieves is showing how scared they are of her.

It's been an absolute delight to see hardline MAGA/FJoeBiden types all over the internet running around like headless chooks. They don't even know how to attack her.

I've seen people calling her stupid. That looks like a genius move when the guy they support is the thick as pig ****
 
Vance has been posting tweets showing photographs of him and his entourage with the VPs aircraft.

I thought the reporters traveling with Kamala might be a little lonely given that she never answers questions from them, so I figured I’d come say hello and check out my new plane while I was at it.

i would be pretty happy if the world finally turned on trump and all the scumbag grifters he brought with him. these people all have to go. i hope they get swept, and it’s looking pretty possible.

surely we must all be getting tired of these lying scammers stealing from us right in our faces? i can’t be the only one

And the internet has been having fun with those picture. There was one with them all walking in a line like the Underendowed Expendables that was captioned

Remember when the big MAGAt talking points were that "Biden is campaigning from his basement" and "Look at the size of Trump's rallies"?

Now it's "Trump is going to have a press conference from Mar-a-lago. Harris hasn't talked to the press in 18 days!!!!"

Because she's been out holding campaign rallies while he's been sitting in the basement of Mar-a-lago....

They were so unprepared for this.
 
I do remember how it seemed that Trump's campaign was a disaster in 2016 though.

Admittedly Clinton did make some mistakes. Telling the truth about the basket of deplorables, for example.
