Harris' running mate Tim Walz introduces himself to nation after Bill Clinton tears into Trump

Excellent. Bill standing up to one of life’s bullies.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Joe Simonson reported that scores of people were filing out of the DNC because of how dangerous it was becoming outside:

“Insane security failures. People are turning around and leaving. All because of fear about protests. Clown show.”

People were reported to be “getting trampled” and “jumping over barriers” during the panic.

One floor delegate called the situation “absolute chaos,” and that the DNC is “the worst event I’ve ever been to.”

Outside the United Center, left-wing agitators were destroying fencing and clashing with police.

(Wow. Left-wing violence. Never seen that before. That was sarcasm, by the way.)

Instead of condemning any of this, Joe Biden said that a lot of these protesters have a “point.”

There weren’t rows of boarded-up buildings during the RNC in Milwaukee. Riot police didn’t fight with protesters who tore down security fencing. No one spat on the cops.

Those are scenes that are apparently reserved for the newly self-christened Party of Joy.

To the Left, it seems, "joyful" is when you destroy property and attack the police.

Bill looked and sounded rough.

Still a fan though. He’s entitled to his (incorrect) opinion. Not the first time he has had questionable judgement though.

Great speaker in a folksy and believable kind of way.

Clinton is only "tearing into Trump" because he can't defend the Biden/Harris administration's horrible job performance.

Nobody can. Not if they've got two objective brain cells in their heads to rub together, anyway.

Everything is demonstrably and verifiably worse under Biden/Harris then it was under Trump I. This is an undeniable fact.

The economy. Prices. Inflation. Border security. Wars breaking out in eastern Europe and the Middle East. An absolutely and atrociously bungled Afghanistan withdrawal.

Everything. Everything is worse under the current administration than under the previous one.

Kamala Harris is promising to fix all of the very problems that her administration has failed to fix for the past 3 years, and in fact has made undeniably worse.

That's why we absolutely need a Trump II.

I'm not sure which part of Trump I is more objectionable to Clinton -- the world peace, the security at home, or the prosperity.

Trump has been mentioned by name over 200 times without even counting tonight.

policies? Nothing.

I voted for Clinton twice, the guy was at the time quite alright, measured, pragmatic, center, old-school Democrat didn’t have radical money-robbing policies, anything like the Marxists and Socialists we see today that completely took over the party.

President Clinton: "Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. What's the score? Democrats 50, Republicans 1."

—

Mostly True.

The number of jobs created from 1989 through March 2024 — under Republican Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, and Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden — was 50.6 million. Of that number, a bit over 1 million, or about 2.6%, were created during the Republican presidencies.

Yeah it was really odd last night when the Obamas kept mentioning how great everything will become again once Kamala gets in office.

basically admitting everything is poor now and overlooking that Kamaya is in office now.

that was the fun of Biden speech. He (likely intentionally) credited her with everything that was done over the last 3.5 years.

While she was desperately trying to distance herself from all of it, he pulled her right back in by giving her credit and praise for driving it

Bill was good but did blatantly lie that Biden “voluntarily” stepped away from power. Joe should be speaking tomorrow night in a just world, as he won the vote.

Both Obama and Clinton have some great one line zingers. Sure know how to work the crowd. Gotta love that. But since Kamala is on a roll and seems to have the election in the bag why the continued feet dragging on policy releases or public interviews ? The show is great but isn't the electorate beginning to wonder about some substance?

And who fact-checks the "fact checkers"?

Please. These "fact checkers" have a long and demonstrated history of raging pro-Democrat bias.

They're not different than the mainstream media in general. And just slapping a "fact checker" label on yourself doesn't automatically make you perfect and infallible.

And besides, a very large chunk of those "created jobs" were post-COVID.

But they were mostly a case of jobs RETURNING after they were DESTROYED primarily due to draconian and excessive COVID measures put in place mostly by DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS.

This is unbelievable. This party destroys jobs, and then when those jobs return, they take credit for "creating jobs."

Don't vote for these liars, people.

Bill certainly had his share of scandals. Let he without sin cast the first stone.

I have to wonder,as a British,and a neutral observer,whether these posters are renumerated for their comments?

Otherwise,it seems a colossal waste of time,emotion and energy.

Multinationals control most governments nowadays,we all know this

Republicans: "Clinton, Obama, etc. all attack Trump. They're aiming at the low-hanging fruit!"

Everyone else: "So, where's the high-hanging fruit?"

Bill Clinton tears into Trump at DNC

"Tears into" really? So much hype.

BlacklabelToday  11:50 am JST

Trump has been mentioned by name over 200 times without even counting tonight.

Policies? Nothing.

Exactly. That really is all the Democrats seem to have. "Trump is bad, Trump is bad, Trump is bad, wind and repeat."

Everything was better when Trump was president before.

Since he left and Biden/Harris took over, the economy has slumped badly.

Prices have risen unbelievably dramatically.

The southern border, which Harris was put in personal charge of dealing with, is an absolute mess.

Meanwhile, half of the world is on fire. Under Trump, no new wars broke out anywhere.

Biden/Harris inherited a relatively stable situation in Afghanistan. They proceeded to mess it up completely. Now, thanks to the Party That Cares About Women, women in Afghanistan are lower than second-class citizens again.

And meanwhile, media outlets like Japan Today are running hysterical stories about Trump visiting some town with "historic ties to white supremacy" -- while "forgetting" to mention that Joe Biden himself also visited that same town.

The RNC had no incidents of violence against police or damage anywhere. At the DNC, people are leaving in fear of their own safety, and multiple police officers in Chicago have been injured in attacks by left-wing lunatics.

I wish I didn't have to write all of this, but somebody has to do it on here.

Both Obama and Clinton have some great one line zingers. Sure know how to work the crowd. Gotta love that. But since Kamala is on a roll and seems to have the election in the bag why the continued feet dragging on policy releases or public interviews ? The show is great but isn't the electorate beginning to wonder about some substance?

Well, let's say she does. She releases a list of policies and starts doing public events, interviews, etc.

Is that going to change anyone's mind at all?

Republicans / MAGA people will vote for Trump even if he comes around their house and shoots their dog.

Democrats are never going to vote for Trump in a trillion years.

There can't be anyone out there who can, in good faith, call themselves "undecided".

In modern politics, policy, publicity, the press, etc. are basically just giving ammunition to the people who are against you.

Just four or five months ago, even many in the "progressive" media (which is most of the media) were saying that Kamala Harris was a political liability for Joe Biden, who was then the presumptive Democrat nominee.

Some were even calling for her to step down. This was the "progressive" media, mind you.

They were saying she was unimpressive, unaccomplished, a failure as southern-border czar, and so on.

This was just four or five months ago.

Now, they're treating Kamala Harris as the best thing since JFK.

Just let that sink in for a moment, folks, before you commit the utterly colossal mistake of actually voting for this woman.

The former president has distanced himself from Project 2025, but its key authors include his former top advisers. His running mate, JD Vance, wrote the foreword for the Heritage Foundation CEO's new book.

The Tea Party which birthed MAGA and their "Contract with(on) America" was all trickle down/ destroy labor protections, enshrine banker bailouts and legislate corporate takeover of American politics.

Now with Project 2025 people know it is so heinous they are trying to keep it as plausibly deniable as possible. So much for GOP party platforms.

Oprah, Pete Buttigieg and AOC also had powerful speeches highlighting the differences with Trump.

You have to give it to the Dems, they have a deep bench of people who speak leadership.

Unlike the foaming, spewing MAGA rabble whose debility goes up to the very top.

Bill Clinton arguably the most gifted politician of recent times but showing his age here.

Still sounds in far better mental shape than Trump though

I don’t know about all that.

Well, that was because of Obama, I should thank him actually.

Now with Project 2025 people know it is so heinous they are trying to keep it as plausibly deniable as possible. So much for GOP party platforms. 

What is up with you guys and this Project 2025, No one is going to implement it, no one, relax.

Oprah, Pete Buttigieg and AOC also had powerful speeches highlighting the differences with Trump. 

You are joking, right? ROFL!

You have to give it to the Dems, they have a deep bench of people who speak leadership. 

And? No one is thinking about voting for these people, so their opinions don’t matter.

Unlike the foaming, spewing MAGA rabble whose debility goes up to the very top.

The difference is, they were talking about disastrous Marxist and Socialist policies and you don’t need a celeb to frost all over it like it's a glazed donut.

@Some Dude.

Yep, reckon you may be right.

Perhaps a transition from South/North or religious extremism of America's history?

They always seem to need something to argue against,to espouse their opinions.

Fascinating.

Mentions at night one of the DNC:

TRUMP: 147 times

ECONOMY: 27 times

BORDER: 8 times

CRIME: 6 times

PRICES: 5 times

INFLATION: 3 times

Priorities!

I voted for Clinton twice, the guy was at the time quite alright, measured, pragmatic, center, old-school Democrat didn’t have radical money-robbing policies, anything like the Marxists and Socialists we see today that completely took over the party.

Clinton was a neo-liberal who dismantled American manufacturing and sold it off to China and outsourcing with NAFTA, setting the stage for white disillusionment and a race to the bottom and MAGA. Also a MIC interventionist .

Trump donated to his campaigns too.

He got in some good digs at Trump's character though.

Otherwise,it seems a colossal waste of time,emotion and energy.

Been telling these guys since January or so.

The thousands upon thousands of angry comments won't change a thing, the election has been already decided.

“When it comes to the border, hear me when I say, you know nothing, Donald Trump.”

El Paso. Someone actually from the border. I’d take her word.

The Tea Party which birthed MAGA and their "Contract with(on) America" was all trickle down/ destroy labor protections, enshrine banker bailouts and legislate corporate takeover of American politics.

Democrats are a cult. They care nothing about the Country or everyday working Americans.

All they care about is getting Trump.

Day 2 viewership is in. 20.8 million. That’s 6 million more viewers than the GQP snooze-fest.

So. Much. Winning.

Don't vote for these liars, people.

Yes, vote for the fascist liars I support.

Always liked Bill Clinton, he certainly had the touch with people, but the Democratic Party of today compared to what it was in his day is a completely different monster. Hardly even recognizable. Having a free abortion clinic at the venue was particularly classy guys. Sacrifice a baby for the cause. Love your work. So inspirational.

Both Obama and Clinton have some great one line zingers. Sure know how to work the crowd. Gotta love that. But since Kamala is on a roll and seems to have the election in the bag why the continued feet dragging on policy releases or public interviews ? The show is great but isn't the electorate beginning to wonder about some substance?

She released a list of policy proposals last week including some to help make housing affordable for first time buyers and measures to stop price gouging on food (if you look at publicly available corporate financial statements you will see that big grocery chain profit margins more than doubled during the pandemic, their prices rising more than twice as fast as their costs). I guess you weren't paying attention last week.

I remember the days when Republicans went after Clinton for sullying the dignity and integrity of that most sacred office.

These days they defend Trump.

The moral slide of the right in the US is alarming.

No standards left. Nothing left to sell out.

I wish I didn't have to write all of this, but somebody has to do it on here.

lol you didn't have to.

Unlike the foaming, spewing MAGA rabble whose debility goes up to the very top.

I think I need a Trump/MAGA Whisperer to understand what this means.

The speakers at the DNC like AOC are speaking to actual issues faced by Americans.

If for MAGA making billionaires like the God Emperor pay the same tax rate as bartenders is labeled 'Marxist', so be it.

Clinton was a neo-liberal who dismantled American manufacturing and sold it off to China and outsourcing with NAFTA, setting the stage for white disillusionment and a race to the bottom and MAGA. Also a MIC interventionist

It was Ronald Reagan who made a deliberate decision to run big deficits during the Cold War and simultaneously help grow the economies of allied nations by buying their imports in order to win the war for hearts and minds. If the west was visibly and obviously more free and more prosperous than the Communist states that would help the narrative that capitalism and democracy were superior to communism. The upshot was those budget deficits generated lots of debt instruments, US Govt bonds that our trading partners quickly figured out buying them was a good way to use the excess US Dollars generated by their trade surpluses. The surplus of US Dollars should have caused the value of the Dollar to fall, making the trade deficits self correcting, but that didn't happen. US debt is the reason the US has a huge trade deficit. If there were no T bills for trade partners to buy, any surplus of US Dollars would lead to a devaluation, making US exports less expensive in trade and making imports more expensive. That is how free trade is supposed to work, but US debt spending handed US trade partners the tool to perpetuate their trade surpluses, at the expense of US industry.

It was Bill Clinton and his economic team who figured out that game when the Japanese, who had at the time vast holdings of US Treasuries, threatened to sell them all at once. The US modeled what would happen if they did, decided Japan would be hurt a lot worse than anyone else and basically dared Japan to sell. Cooler head prevailed in Japan and they pulled back from their threat. However this focused the best economic minds in the Clinton administration on the threat the national debt posed and by the last two years of the Clinton administration the US budget had small surpluses. During the 2000 Presidential campaign there was even talk of splitting the surplus between paying down the debt and adding funds to the Social Security Trust Fund. By then the national debt, which was 69% of GDP when Bill Clinton took office was down to 59% of GDP.

However George W. Bush won the election and the first thing he did was cut taxes and increase the national debt. When he left office the national debt was over 90% of GDP.

True facts. I was a grad student working on my MA in Econ during this time and we watched this in real time. It was highly educational.

Clinton did take advantage of that end of Cold War peace dividend and balanced the budget and created a surplus even.

Cut entitlements and welfare benefits too. In many ways a more classically conservative Republican than those who attacked him in the GOP.

I like Trump but I wouldnt jump down people's throat for him, much less waste hours of my day not making money or enjoying anything... for him.

Definitely not a cult.

Keep coming! Kamala needs your help!

It's all a smoke screen, trust yet verify.

At least we have learned from Kamala that you don’t have to win every game to be undefeated!

Bill Clinton's speech only mentions Trump 8 times.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/watch-bill-clintons-full-speech-2024-dnc-transcript/

Bill tore Trump a new one.

And people are watching (unlike at the GQP INSOMNIA THERAPY FEST).

At least we have learned from Kamala that you don’t have to win every game to be undefeated!

Trump’s entire life is a testament to failure and his goobers think he’s a “winner”, lol.

Thanks for making the contrast so clear.

Minnesota Gov Tim Walz accepted his party's nomination for vice president Wednesday and used his Democratic National Convention address to thank the packed arena for “bringing the joy” to an election transformed by the elevation of his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Walz is definitely no Bernie Sanders ; despite Trump's weak attempts at labeling.

He does have a Mid-Western charm that will be good for balancing out the ticket.

Desert Tortoise,

That was a great post. Course anyone who doesn't like it will simply state it to be untrue, but it's still a great post.

clinton’s last two years in office were the last time the federal budget had no deficit.

Watching the RNC and DNC, I noticed such a stark contrast. The RNC is like a circus. People whining (like Sarah Huckabee Sanders crying that someone spat on her car), mudslinging (like going on about how Kamala suddenly turned from Indian to Black; while not having the capacity to understand that a person is capable of being half of each), emphasizing on dividing the nation by saying that if you don't vote for Trump or believe the things they do, then you're fired, and simply being so illogical and straying from any semblance of policy. I felt like I was listening to a late night televangelist infomercial.

On the other hand, listening to speakers like Michelle Obama, Doug Emhoff, Tim Walz, Bill Clinton, etc., I could actually feel a sense purpose. There seemed to be a sense of inclusiveness that we as a nation are in this together and should not be divided, even though we may have differences in opinions. There was a sense of nation over party and individual.

Is it any wonder why so many of Trump's former staff members have come out and complained about Trump. People like James Mattis, John Bolton, John Kelly, Anthony Scaramucci, etc. America is a democratic country and should stay a democratic one. Trump has already on record promised that if you vote for him, you won't have to vote again. He has shown to quickly fire or disparage and hurt people who disagree with him. Only dictators and autocrats do that. That is not what America is about.

MAGA-world sure is a weird place...

Trump calls his supporters the Great Unwashed, dirty and disgusting, and Basement Dwellers...and they still love him....

Steve Bannon calls Trump "just another scumbag" and he's MAGA-royalty...

Ted Cruz calls him a "sniveling coward" and gets MAL dinner invitations...

Graham says he a race-baiting religious bigot and is a golfing partner...

And JD Vance compares him to Hitler and says he's an idiot - and gets chosen VP...

Maybe it's me but that sure seems ultra-MAGA-weird....

Excuse me. No one is interested in seeing these rich politicians / celebrities claim the moral high ground—

the speeches had the opposite effect / the DNC is actually helping Trump regain the lead in the polls.

It was great watching Clinton hack Trump about his age.

What a convention, you can feel the hope in the air. They are identifying Trump as the piece of trash worthless human being he is, who cares nothing for the people. Nothing. He has one care, and that's himself.

He's a loser, and the awesomeness of someone like Walz, and loved presidents like Trump and Obama, only serve to explicitly show the contrast that Selfish Don is.

No.

Excuse me. No one is interested in seeing these rich politicians / celebrities claim the moral high ground—

The whole country is. America hates Trump. America hates MAGA. Women hate their bodies being controlled by weird guys who are afraid of menstruation.

This is going to be a Blue Tsunami in November. The Republicans are so screwed.

I can state without much exaggeration that the vast majority of people in my neck of the woods (UK) despise him. Heck, we made a balloon of him as a kid in diapers for when he came over to embarrass himself (and by extension his office).

We thought that Bush 2 was bad, especially as he hoodwinked an otherwise accomplished Prime Minister (Blair) into getting involved in a stupid and pointless war, but compared to Trump, Bush 2 is practically MENSA material.

not really. Cause looking and sounding as bad as he did while saying he is younger than Trump didn’t really land.

just made me think the “older” Trump looks and sounds much much better in comparison.

that failed. Along with a couple of blatant lies.

Uh, I'm sorry, a bit confused here, but how does all that crap relate to US politics?

It doesn't, per se. However...

A previous poster stated that "a handful of people want you to believe that the whole world hates Trump".

I mentioned that in the UK, he is widely seen as a risible buffoon who has stained, possibly permanently, the office of President of the USA. Further, the popular figures in the UK who have expressed support for him are themselves considered a joke. You can google to find "relative perception of Trump and Biden abroad", and you'll see that in most countries which are worth anything, there's an enormous gap between the public perceptions of Trump and Biden.

Now I know that the average American, and more so the average republican, and yet more so the average toothless, product-of-incest MAGA voter, is so insular that they never even consider that foreign affairs could affect them, but if the president of what is (currently) the most powerful country in the word is disrespected abroad, this will have a ripple effect on things like diplomacy and foreign relations. Thus it could indeed relate to US politics.

not really. Cause looking and sounding as bad as he did while saying he is younger than Trump didn’t really land.

It did with everyone not MAGA.

And MAGA are a dwindling minority of angry little men.

With all due respect, the average American could not care less what the Brits think or our President, so that ends the discussion right there, we vote for who we think would be the best leader to lead our nation and if the Brits are not happy or they choose to make fun of them, then they can do that in their country, I don't care. I want an American President, not a Globalist one.

Now I know that the average American, and more so the average republican, and yet more so the average toothless, product-of-incest MAGA voter,

Watching too much comedy TV again, I see.

is so insular that they never even consider that foreign affairs could affect them,

Flip mode and most Europeans don't understand that picking a Marxist or Socialist President would lead to widespread poverty in the worst way, open borders illegals coming in, and crime rates through the roof, not to mention these radicals declared war on our law enforcement and allow lawlessness to flourish

but if the president of what is (currently) the most powerful country in the word is disrespected abroad, this will have a ripple effect on things like diplomacy and foreign relations.

And Europens can't do anything it, so relax. I worry more about what my people think and I don't want a Marxist to run it.

Thus it could indeed relate to US politics.

For you guys, not for us, because when we sneeze, you guys catch the cold

I mean we were told by the same posters every day that Biden was easily beating Trump.

then he was suddenly forced out.

why? Because Dems told him to his face that not only was he NOT winning, but that he couldn’t beat Trump. Most popular and successful president in history, how can this be?

so isn’t it possible Kamala, who is no different in policy than Trump and directly responsible for their mutual results, is also losing and can’t win?

politicians and diapers should be changed often, and for the same reason. — mark twain

No that’s not how it works.

Nevertheless she’s exposed trump as weak, weird and all gloom and doom.

No that’s not how it works.

It’s called an election. Your cult lord keeps losing them. Then he lies about losing and incites an insurrection.

I don’t care what he supposedly called “us” or anyone else.

the only thing that matters is the policy. Does Kamala have any announced policy that aren’t (a) stolen from Trump or (b) that would be criticized if Trump said them instead of her?

Trump: no tax on tips! Inflationary, why are they special, who gonna pay? Reee!

harris: no tax on tips! Fiscally responsible, great thing for our service workers, it will lay for itself!

same policy without mutual results. Imagine if Trump proposed this dumb 25% gains tax or giveaway for new house owners that Harris did?

the real work in campaigns is for delegates to return and allot most of their time and energy into fundraising and working with congressional candidates in their state and district, plus the 1/3 of senators running this election.

that's the force multiplier. if you don't control congress, nothing will get done. like now.

control both houses and you can get things done.

It’s called an election.

ok and when Trump wins that this time?

but heeeee didn’t win the popular vote?

What if he does?

I try and really try hard to listen to Trump speak. All I hear is rambling, whining, name-calling. The only time I heard him try to even come close to talking about some kind of policy, is when he brought out two Tic Tacs (one small and one large). He called it inflation. I'm not sure if he confused price-gouging and inflation, or simply doesn't understand the concept at all. He's like the grandpa at the back of the room who rambles on about nothing where we have to once in awhile check on him if he's still breathing. Also, I can't believe he tried to get people to buy shoes with an image of him showing him being shot at. I know of no politician who would do that. I do not want someone like that as president.

Ditto....

Lol

Never did - too embarrassed and humiliated...still can't...

No, I answered and it hasn't changed.

They believe Trump said it...you don't - so why is Fox lying? (not the first time)...

I believe the other 3 that said he didn't.

MAGA-coping - deny reality...sad...

Nothing to deny.

i mean which team just had to suddenly replace their candidate last minute with an inferior one because the most popular and successful President in history (sorry Barack)…..couldn’t win the election against Trump?

yep I agree, it’s all about the election. Which “we” will win.

I don’t care what he supposedly called “us” or anyone else.

OK, some people have more self-respect than allowing someone to call them "dirty, disgusting, basement dwellers"...

the only thing that matters is the policy. 

OK, lets talk "policy"...

You've said you're a "life begins at conception - no surrender" guy" - what do you think of Trump surrendering and saying he could support killing babies until the 15th week?

EVs- are they a hoax like Trump previously said or are they "fantastic" and "everyone should buy one" like he's saying now?

COVID vaccine - "safe and it works and everyone should take it" or "poison"?

Please tell us what your view is on these Trump policies...

If you were the most popular and successful in history but it’s agreed by all that you can’t beat someone else- what does that say about the person you can’t beat? How popular and powerful that person must be!

I am not an American and doesn't know much the candidates, but from the comments I have been reading so far in this forum. Trump supporters have a lot of valuable points about him, what he has done as a formal president and what he can do for the nation of America, and with infallible evidences. Kamala supporters in this forum are only showing their personal hate for Trump and have no reasonable points about what their candidate has done as a current VP or what she can do for America if elected.

Also, Japan today has never posted anything good about Trump and the Republicans, Only Kamala and the Democrats. I think the poster here might be a bit biased or there is something I am missing.

These are just my observations.

Kamala supporters should try to emphasis more on what their candidate has done as a current VP and what she can do as a president if elected, and not just personal hates and likes.

My opinion though.

In summary, Americans should vote wisely for the sake of their children and the whole world.

It’s called an election.

ok and when Trump wins that this time? 

but heeeee didn’t win the popular vote? 

What if he does?

Then he’ll surely lose the EC.

Ditto....

Lol

LMAO

Once more, the MAGA white flag of surrender...

They believe Trump said it...you don't - so why is Fox lying? (not the first time)...

I believe the other 3 that said he didn't.

So why is Fox lying?

MAGA-coping - deny reality...sad...

Nothing to deny.

Just reality...

I'm interested to see what will happen if Harris does America (and the rest of the civilised world) a favour and wins.

The obvious first step is that Trump claims that the election was rigged and sends his thugs out to run riot across the country.

Assuming that is subsequently suppressed, and assuming that even the Supreme Court won't debase themselves enough to overturn the result, and Harris is sworn in, then what?

Come the next election Trump will be 82, older than Biden when he announced his re-election plans. Trump, at least according to people who can see things as they are, is showing signs of mental deterioration already, so in four years it could be significantly worse. Now I don't believe in attacking people for mental deterioration. There are plenty of better reasons to go after Trump than that. In any case, assuming he maintains his stranglehold on the republican party and they either can't or won't find a better candidate, are we just going to see a repeat of the same? Lose, complain, try to incite a riot, repeat?

OK, some people have more self-respect than allowing someone to call them "dirty, disgusting, basement dwellers"...

Which didn't happen.

OK, lets talk "policy"...

Let's, at the border, crime, and inflation especially now that we know the WH lied and they had to revise the numbers of the Job markets. Wonder why and how that happened...

Please tell us what your view is on these Trump policies...

Trump wants to increase fracking, send as many illegals back as possible, hire more police, and give them immunity....

Watching the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention, it's really clear that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are willing to work for and work at getting this presidency. Trump on the other hand, with his totally low energy shown in his speeches, no preparation, no attention to details, wants to be president, but doesn't want to put in the hard work to get it. He doesn't read notes, instructions, or follow rules and laws. Sorry, Trump, but Americans (at least real Americans), work hard, and are not afraid to do the work, to be successful. Unlike Trump, most people are not born into privilege, and are willing to follow the laws and rules of society.

You do know that economic data takes time to come in, right? Government may be awesome but they aren't miracle workers.

People can still be a-holes voting on base instincts.

Let's,

Then immediately dodges once more...talk about pathetic...

Life begins at conception, EVs, and the vaccine makes them all go tongue tied....

Please tell us what your view is on these Trump policies...

Trump wants to...

Implement Project 2025...kill babies until the 15th week, give green cards to immigrants completing college, and make everyone buy a Tesla....

You onboard with all that?

i mean which team just had to suddenly replace their candidate last minute with an inferior one because the most popular and successful President in history (sorry Barack)…..couldn’t win the election against Trump?

For a man of the sciences, you are very imprecise with your claims.

Who is claiming Biden was the most popular ( can be judged objectively to some point ) and successful president in history?

Biden has polled quite poorly as President.

Around Trump levels when he was president.

“According to the tracker Election Betting Odds, which aggregates data from four separate betting markets, Trump now has a 49.3% chance of winning in November compared to Harris’ 49.1%. This is a big 24-hour swing in Trump’s favor, as the cumulative odds were more than 5.5 points in favor of Harris on Monday”

successful DNC for sure!
