@Bass
And found guilty of rape
and also paying off a porn actress.
Please try to keep up. Trump wasn’t “allegedly” found guilty. He was actually found guilty and paid a substantial settlement.
And i’m not sure what you mean by paying off a porn star won’t happen again. Is this what you think because of Trump’s age and physical condition?
Ken
And along with this statement Trump will always still be worse because he is a criminal

Maga must really be scared because of how much confidence there is in Harris. First y'all made age to be a big worrying factor and now your side has the old dude who can't think straight

True and to your point is why the Dems are panicking because they are bleeding minorities, enough to make a difference in this race.

So why is he beating Biden and Harris combined?
Last time there were a lot of irregularities, but that’s not going to happen, they hired more security and over 65,000 poll watchers

The Republican and MAGA crowds including the White supremacists that were chanting "We like Hitler, We like Trump" at the convention will remind the country who they will be getting if Trump is re-elected.
Harris's ancestry will make her a target from the same people attacking Vance's wife. They are both apart of the same ancestral community.
Will that community mostly vote for the wife of the VP or for the woman who would become the first female US president partly representing their community?
Most minorities and women will support Harris. Trump cannot when the presidency with only the White male vote!

That was before the general pubkic learned how much of failure as human being and a president he is. People will not make that mistake again that is why he lost his re-election by 8 million votes.

Even our MAGA-friends here will admit it - nothing gets under Trump's skin more than being dissed by a woman...
It enrages him, turns him a brighter shade of orange, makes him hurl more ketchup at the walls than anything else...

Trump can't take being insulted and dissed by a woman - it makes him implode...

I doubt I am addressing a US registered voter but I'll bite as an actual leftist and give a nuanced answer as opposed to the usual demagoguery from the MAGA reps.
Kamala is like Biden and Obama. A dedicated neo-liberal with a conservative tough on crime background with a lot of monied interests behind her.
Her own father is a left-leaning, socialist professor at Stanford who has criticized his own daughter for her neo-liberal economic policies , identity politics dodges and prosecutorial record like a true Marxist.
Despite that , I am sure many on the left, center and center-right conservative will choose Kamala November 5th over the kleptocrat fraudster, self-professed authoritarian and insurrectionist.

Harris raised $83,599,345 in just 24 hours. Just for her nomination!
Trump is selling shoes for $300.00.

Election are won and lost on leadership, on a the party performance record in government .
The "southern border" policies Joe Biden called on Kamala Harris to lead the administration's campaign to address the "root causes" of migration.
Harris has not even visited the southern border.
Hence the republican campaign brutal ads “never seen anything like the Biden-Harris open border policy. a third world invasion, responsible for people. child trafficking.
The breakdown of law and order, the fentanyl deaths epidemic.

And that’s why Trump will beat her

Based on her record as a prosecutor in California, Harris is another hold-your-nose Donkey" choice" for voters, but still preferable to a convicted felon and traitor to the country and Constitution.

Of course. Especially over a convicted felon, rapist, and fraudster. There's no comparing Kamala Harris to a scumbag like Trump.

Even though they deflect and refuse to answer, we know who our MAGA-friends prefer in a comparison of the current Dem VP with the last Repub one...

I was a little surprised today when a newscaster said that the country may not be ready for a female, black, President.
Perhaps I'm naive. That thought never entered my mind. I was both shocked and offended. In 2024, is that really a question? Srsly?
She's smart and knows how laws work. And most important, she isn't a convicted felon, petty, or a proven liar. Sure, there are some things I wish she had in her resume. The other guy doesn't have those either.
It is a little funny that Harris was a prosecutor and Trump is a convicted felon.

Kamala Harris is tarred with the same brush, the political economic failures, as Joe Biden, short term gains, an example would be the green new deal, a belief that economic growth could be decoupled from the costs of such policies independent to growth in material and energy usage on a global scale.
The harsh realities of Green New Deal where the imaginary model, the measure growth by ethical ideological standards, is simply an illusion, ignoring a brutal reality.
Long term jobs in such a scenario, that economies are independent to the necessity that growth is imperative for businesses to invest.
One cannot have one without the other.
Then the Inflation reduction act, The cost to the US tax payer are eye watering.
The drug pricing scheme, leading to a sharp downturn in investment/innovation, as well as increased reliance on Chinese medical manufacturing supply chains.
Pharma/drug developers have suspended development of medicines to treat multiple blood cancers.
This cannot or will not simply ignored by the US electorate November 5th.
Then the rather sensitive issue of oversight.

Quote from NPR:
So unlike President Biden, Harris doesn't have a long track record in foreign affairs.
I admit it--Biden saved his smartest move til late in the game--pulling out of the race.
And ironically--he withdrew on National Ice Cream Day!

nah less than that. just around 40,000 votes total among 3 or 4 states was the supposed difference last time.

Harris:
“Before I was a senator I was an attorney general and a prosecutor. In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. I know Donald Trump's type”
Sounds like this will be a common theme going forward.
The hardcore Trump support do not care about his character, but will this approach appeal to the less dishonest and less partisan?

No, because she’s inept and unqualified.
Trump said, what every normal man thinks, he just is extremely direct. He didn’t lie. And anyone thinking otherwise is just not dealing with reality, not to mention he was saying this in private, when I’m with my guy friends, I have said a lot of things that men usually talk about when it comes to women and I have 4 sisters, it can be just as bad when you listen to their conversations. Now if Trump said that statement in front of women casually, you would have a point, but he said it off camera and didn’t know he was being recorded.

Wrong. According to AP VoteCast, Trump won 8 percent of the Black vote, about a 2 percentage-point gain on his 2016 numbers (using the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, or CCES, a national survey of more than 50,000 confirmed voters, as a point of comparison). And he may have done even better than 2 percentage points. If you compare the CCES numbers to the results of 2020 exit polls by Edison Research, Trump actually improved by 4 percentage points.

Want to know how desperate Trump is, just look at this little nugget...
"Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on Fox News, rather than very biased ABC,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social."
So Trump wants to move the debate from ABC to Fox - flipping on his previous "deal"....
But Trump just said this about Fox last week;
"Former President Trump tore into Fox News on Tuesday over its coverage of a poll showing him beating President Biden in a head-to-head match-up but losing to Vice President Harris.
“Fox News will put up Fake Confidential Democrat Polls that were ‘leaked’ to them, but not Rasmussen or any of the REAL polling groups that have me way ahead,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “What’s up with FOX? I do better with CNN!!!”
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4762384-trump-rips-fox-news-polls-cnn/

Nah, that's one woman too many on the ticket which would be "like a mattress balancing on a bottle of wine", to quote that same songster. Besides, Whitmer is too cozy with Zionism. Young Pete Buttigieg is the perfect brainy balance to beat MAGA and take the Dems in a new direction into the future to win back the blue-collar voters the Clintons, Obama and Biden abandoned.

Ok… she has money. So what?

National polling averages show Harris trailing Biden 48 to 46 percent, according to the New York Times.
That is an improvement on Biden's scores in the same polls, which showed Trump beating him 47-44.
In swing states and even states that have turned reliably blue in recent elections, Harris out-polls Biden even when losing.
She's within one point - 48-47 - of Trump in Pennsylvania, besting Biden, who was losing 48-45 to Trump.
In Virginia, she leads Trump by five points over Biden, who only leads Trump by four percentage points.
*However, those polls were conducted before the assassination attempt on former President Trump.*

Someone needs to ask Nikki Haley if she still stands by her words from last Jan...
"The 2024 presidential race has seen both parties’ nominees bedeviled by concerns about their age and fitness. But after Biden’s decision to step aside on Sunday, Democrats have shed such concerns—and the words of Nikki Haley, who railed against gerontocracy during her campaign for the Republican nomination, have come back to haunt Donald Trump. Haley was an early observer of the public’s dissatisfaction with both candidates’ ages, going so far as to predict that fortune would favor the party that first dropped their elderly candidate. After losing the New Hampshire primary in January, Haley took a shot at both presumptive nominees, prophesying that “the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election.”

100% spot on absolutely summed it in a nutshell.
How? She has the history to prove it, no conservative made that up, she made her own history and she wants to debate Trump with that history, I don’t know if she’s really thinking this through or not..
Translation liberals seem worried
Now, now, No need for that, please don’t do that to us this early in the morning!

What do you have against ‘grifters and con artists’? That’s why 45 is popular! Didn’t you know it’s ‘smart’ to not pay taxes and stiff your employees? Surely the one with the most bankruptcies is the best choice to run the largest economy in the world.

She will make a safer and saner president than Trump or Biden.

“Likewise, Harris' tenure as the attorney general of California has been the subject of criticism from left-wing critics as well, primarily related to her approach to tough-on-crime prosecution and other criminal justice policies she championed.
During her 2020 presidential campaign, which she launched in January 2019, Harris faced significant criticism over her prosecution record. Opponents of tough-on-crime prosecution argue it disproportionately affects low-income families and minorities, further entrenching them in the prison system.
…she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana."
her entire job was basically imprisoning Black men and parents.

The fact that their go to argument about Harris is 'word salad' when their are years of Trumpian non sequitur word salad and it is getting progressively worse is just hilarious this morning. I could give a Kamala Harris chuckle.

It’s obvious that many posters here have at most superficial knowledge of Harris. She’s always been a grifter.
The “little black girl rubbish”: from age 7 she attended an exclusive school in Montreal where she and her biologist mother lived in an upscale neighborhood.
She attended a law school in California ranked 82 out of “the best” schools. Not exactly Yale.
She failed the CA bar exam the first time. 50% usually pass the first time.
She started getting high paying job under the wing of the King of California politics Willy Brown. She was qualified for none of the jobs. Why is it that Brown’s wife put her foot down while he was mayor of SF at which point Brown “dumped” Harris with a wink?
As DA she claimed a high conviction rate (“tough on crime”) not by increasing actual convicts but by decreasing the actual number of cases brought. As highlighted during the Democratic nominating debates in 2020, she once hid evidence that would have exonerated an innocent man. She kept men in prison to labor when she might have released them. Want more? Do a tiny bit of searching.
Now try to imagine Harris sitting across the negotiating table with Putin or Xi. Can you hear her obnoxious cackle?
Once a grifter and con artist, always one.

Hey Blacklabel even CNN made the comment that it feels more like a coronation than a democratic process.
Blacklabel
same exact comments a month ago except the name was Biden lol I think we know how that turned out.
childish Kamala got destroyed by Tulsi Gabbard, deflected to calling Joe a racist and then dropped out before voting even started.
and by the way, she’s not the nominee yet, so until that happens no need to debate her. Obama has curiously withheld his coronation of her so far. Wonder what he wants in return?
lincolnman
You would think our MAGA-friends would think through these comments before posting...
You know, saying Trump is going to "frontally assault" a woman...
I guess they're OK with him forking out ANOTHER $85 million...
Not sure Melania is on-board with those words though...
TokyoCarnivore
Kamala wanted to jail parents whose kids where not showing up at school. and then laughed about it. Gosh i wonder who would have been affected by her actions, oh yeah brown and black people! The left is so full of you know what, its mainly white libs who are running scared now that black and brown people are waking up and coming together for Trump.

The Black culture isn’t obsessed with this false Neo-Nazi rhetoric just because Kanye brought an unknown guy to lunch with him.

Well as usual, our MAGA-friends comment before checking the far-right talking points for the day...
They'll flip on these as soon as they check with Newsmaxx or Fox...
"Donald Trump is already trying to change the rules for the second scheduled presidential debate after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race on Sunday. But since Biden has dropped out and is likely to be replaced as the Democratic nominee by Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump is getting cold feet. "Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on Fox News, rather than very biased ABC,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social."
https://www.salon.com/2024/07/22/is-already-trying-to-back-out-of-a-debate-with-kamala-harris/
So Trump is backing out of the deal he previously agreed to - you know, FLIP-FLOPPING and GOING BACK ON HIS PROMISE...
Which surprises no one...especially evangelicals who believed him when he said "life begins at conception"....

Seriously? You think the unions aren't concerned corporate America is far too politically invested?
Workers not listening need to grow another set of ears. Corporate captains paying themselves $56 billions, $400 millions...whilst workers are picketing for $18/hr .... nothing wrong with this picture?
I don't like the fact Trump is a self confessed isolationist who need no allies and who only have dictators for friends. But letting corporate America into funding democracy is only going to end badly for workers.
bass4funk
Trump is itching to take her on, and yes, he will go full frontal assault on her, he’s already slightly doing that. And no, her race won’t save her.
Depends, I’m an independent voter and vote according to the issues most important to my life, what you say or do in your private life doesn’t concern me, I care what you do for the nation, so if independents are easily ticked and focus more on Trump’s words, they will vote for Harris, if they are concerned about the social economic situation, they will vote for Trump. It just depends what their personal priorities are.
Obama could and that made people fall asleep. Most Americans just the facts straight nothing more, they want to talked to and not talked at.
Biden did.
Many think it’s made better, sharper, more lethal.
So why are more of the poor and middle class voting for Trump
It’s still an ongoing investigation, but the Kennedy files might be released.

I can't stop laughing at the comments. Ya all actually believe Kamala can actually debate Trump. haha!
She had like 1% of the vote in California. Tulsi Gabbard destroyed her in the debate and called her out for the criminal activities against black men
OssanAmerica
Harris needs to openly and publically challenge Trump.to a debate. Either he agrees and gets steamrollered or he publically refuses, letting the entire country see what a coward he is. I dont think Trumps ego will let him refuse, although his campaign handlers will do their best to dissuade him from getting slaughtered.
plasticmonkey
I agree. African American men are going to turn out in droves to elect a "white" man who plays footsie with neo-Nazis. That man really likes "the blacks".

Nobody who actually know anything about Harris would be silly enough to refer to her as a far-left progressive.
Doesn’t the right get tired of blowing that old dog whistle? No one with any sense or sense of decency is listening.
Blacklabel
African American men are not going to be turning out to select a “black” woman who is married to a white guy and whose job was to imprison them and their male family members.
too much gender and racial and class conflict there.
she’s already down in polls just as much as Joe or more.
I think Dems are setting her up to lose so she is out of the way when the “real” candidates come in 2028.
PTownsend
Trump's handlers probably would not allow him to debate VP Harris, knowing he'd resort to a string of vindictive personal attacks, which might appeal mainly to his hardest core cult members, but further alienate reasonable independents. Trump has shown an extremely limited ability to articulate even basic understandings of issues, so to avoid showing his limited awareness makes school yard retorts instead. One of my memories is of a woman reporter asking him a question, and his saying "you are a really terrible person". Trump's old, never had much in the way of intelligence, and his aging has made him even nastier, but mainly to those he sees lower caste than him, his fellow autocrats he lauds. Unfit in any way for office. Why does he not want the Epstein files opened?

It's comical to see the leftist media and leftist elites fawning over ms word salad.
'We were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time. Right? The significance of the passage of time.
There is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do... And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children and what that means to the future of our nation, depending on whether or not they have the resources they need to achieve their God-given talent."
What kind of dressing would like to have with your salad?
Blacklabel
hope some of that money can be used on dressing all the latest word salads.
We're all filled with so many mixed emotions about this," Harris said. "I just have to say, I love Joe Biden, I love Joe Biden, and I know we all do when we have so many darn good reasons for loving Joe Biden."
TokyoCarnivore
The disgraceful actions of the Dem party. Once again not allowing their actual voters to decided. They did the same thing to Bernie. Most of the money is coming from people who didn't even know they sent her money.
The dems have been caught doing this before.
I love seeing black Americans especially black men who are waking up. Check out X so many coming out against the cop sorry former AG who destroyed so many black men's lives. Thanks Dems you're handing more votes to Trump daily!
The fact you leftist actually think Kamala can speak articulate. haha! I see the leftist commentators are already pushing the typical talking points, if anyone doesn't like Kamala, they are racist and misogynist. haha

Enthusiasm about Kamala and a historic change, a good debate performance and strong platform from Kamala Harris could change the conservation about this election so far.
DJT has had a string of luck recently and it was doom and gloom at the DNC but it could be changing.
As a side note and just to lend a helping hand to the MAGA brothers I am going to do them a favor.
I know their go-to strategy which comes straight from the God emperor himself is to call anyone under the sun who opposes him 'far-left, radical, Marxist socialists'. You see that tired rhetoric on this board all the time.
Well, the father of Kamala, Donald Harris, is a renowned Stanford Marxist economist. Who has even been critical of his daughter's economic policies, focus on identity politics and prosecutorial record.
https://www.nytimes.com/article/kamala-harris-dad-don-harris.html
The Stanford Daily, reporting in 1976, described him as a “Marxist scholar,” and said there was some opposition to granting him tenure because he was “too charismatic, a pied piper leading students astray from neo-Classical economics.”

I read a little on this woman.
Take away the misogyny and racist slurs hurled at her.
A substantial woman with a good intellect with a history of working in Government, not against it.
Congress people swear an oath to the US Constitution.
In Trump's term, he dismissed top level people who would,nt carry out his orders because they contradicted the Constitution.
Trump wants cronies to swear an oath of allegiance to Trump.
Not good for democracy, not good for America, not good for the rest of us.
