Kamala Harris Election Campaign

I'm now hearing Republicans grumbling about Trump needing to be replaced.

:dl:

As if Trump would step down. Or that the Republicans could agree on who should replace Trump.

Maybe he'll use bone spurs as an excuse? :confused:
Nah, short of a major stroke he will not be replaced. I would bet my last penny on it.

Remember, this whole "she isn't doing press conferences" crap started yesterday, and only because Trump has been too humiliated to be out campaigning.

With Biden it was, "He's campaigning from his basement, look at all the massive rallies I have!"

As soon as Harris has bigger rallies, the guy literally campaigning from his house, switches to, "She isn't doing press conferences like me" and his turdslurpers lick it up.

Make no mistake, if this were Biden doing press conferences at the White House, you would be hearing something completely different. They aren't fooling anyone but themselves.

So the New York Times is wrong when they say Kamala Harris isn't giving interviews?

In the nearly three weeks since President Biden withdrew his candidacy, catapulting Ms. Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket, the vice president has shown little eagerness to meet journalists in unscripted settings. She has not granted an interview or held a news conference. On Thursday, after a rally in Michigan, she held her first “gaggle” — an impromptu Q.-and-A. session — with reporters covering her campaign.

It lasted 70 seconds.

If I were her, I wouldn't give press conferences either. She's winning the campaign, why go to a press that is biased against democratic candidates and ruin it?

I think Trump is a once in a generation politician. He came to prominence at just the right time to have this much influence on the political culture of the United States.

If you have an unpopular opinion, just say it, no need to sugarcoat and liberal-wash it. I am afraid Trump may have energized a movement, but no one person can quite do it like him at the moment.

Who cares? Raise your hands.

If I was her I wouldn't give an interview until at least after the debate. Why do anything that might upset the momentum? Now is the time to raise money, excite the crowds and know thoroughly how to answer the gotcha questions that reporters will try to make her stumble on. It's also time for debate prep.
 
As far as her policies go, we know the outlines pretty well and we know she won't get anything passed without general buy-in from congressional Dems, so I'm not sure why anyone would panic about the gritty details. It's not like the Reps where Trump says, "Jump," and the Rep congress says, "How high?" There are competing constituencies on the left that moderate most legislation.

The policy details, in fact, are less important than her ability to get anything at all passed as president. The real question is: Can she corral the Dems? That's where my concern lies.

I kind of agree with you.

Nathan Bedord Forrest, William Jennings Bryan, Huey Long, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Mccarthy, John Birch, Lyndon Larouche, Trump. All were populist movements. All were a somewhat charismatic, all, peddling xenophobia, bigotry and hatred. The problem with all of them was that was all they had. All sowing division. None of them were great leaders who knew how to unite.

For a non-US person why do people become VP? Apart from the slim chance of becoming president by virtue of an assassin, what is in it for an ambitious politician. Do VP usually get chosen to be the next presidential candidate? Clearly Biden got a stinking pension out of it, and IMHO should have retired and not stood for the presidency. But what do VPs do after VPing? The only one who I can think of who has made a mark for themselves is Quayle.

The guy Quayle worked for did okay...
 
You gotta love the meltdown on the right over the Camo hat. Seriously, they are going nuts about it. The suggestion is they are phonys.

The problem of course is not only does Walz have a history of wearing Camo as a 24 year veteran but as a top notch hunter and marksman.

The hat by the way has raised more than a million dollars. Two million in sales. And that is in three days, They can't keep up and now are selling the hats with with the Harris Wolz logo silk screened instead of embroidered.

It's not a bad position to have.in many cases the broad strokes are enough to garner support. But the specifics matter, and more importantly the ability of supporters to influence policy before someone is elected. It's why I don't agree that candidates running on the same basic platform are interchangeable.

One specific example from Bidens presidency was the withdrawal from Afghanistan. A majority of the candidates showed support for that in the 2020 primaries. Do I think most would have followed through given the political fall out? I just don't. He might have been the singular figure that would follow through. And it cratered his approval, something that hasn't recovered since. I worry about the effects that will have for any politician that tries to remove us from such entanglements.

Also, these are hats union-made in the USA. I recall MAGA hats are made in china.

"I DEMAND HER POLICIES" from a bunch of people who have spent the last 6 years simping for Trump, a man who has never had a thought, much less a policy.
She's a functional adult and she's making people whose entire personality is "I'm going to be the most insufferable person ever" just adorably edgelord mad so I'm good.

That's unfair he has two:

1) I hate America with all my heart, all my soul and all my strength; and I will do everything in my power to destroy her.

2) Now to scam all the monies.

So stop supporting MAGAts, who obsess about outlawing abortion. They are the ones who have done things like go to court to try to prevent the use of abortion drugs, and have tried to create laws to try to prevent people from getting abortions.

They are the ones obsessed with it. Pro-choice people are like, um, not my business.

When Samson wrote ignore, he probably meant ban.
