someone who can deliver a rational message in complete sentences.

trump’s former press secretary (a republican) will also speak along with other republicans.

see the maga people called in bomb threats to chicago hotels and swatting the republican who spoke last night. classy.

apparently trump is now going down the “she’s a foreigner” path. that should work out good for him.

So the Democrats have or will have had speeches by 2 former presidents, the current president, the former nominee….

And Trump had Hulk Hogan and Amber Rose.

GWB? Dick Chaney? Mitt Romney? Mike Pence? Paul Ryan?

Not a single member of the now GQP legacy leadership would agree to attend or endorse him.

Thats kind of telling…

And according to Jessie Waters and Comer, Waltz is now a deep plant Chinese stooge!

Nearly eight years after the end of his presidency, Obama remains one of the most popular Democrats in the country, eclipsing Harris and the current administration, public opinion polls show.

Obama needs to put aside the 'we go high' rhetoric for a minute. We know he can from his epic roasts of Trump at White House Correspondent dinners.

Hit Trump in going back to his racist birther and DEI insinuations at Harris that he experienced.

Hit at Trump's limited vocabulary ineloquence compared to his.

Biden looked back at his accomplishments yesterday and it is time for Obama to do the same to put the stake in Trumpism/MAGA.

yeah, there's so much to nuttiness to unpack every day and exhausting to write it all up. have to let others have some fun, too. he went so far into orbit today, fox had to cut him off. the people he was rambling to were dead silent. in shock.

We got Trump because of Obama

Hit Trump in going back to his racist birther and DEI insinuations at Harris that he experienced. 

That won't work, but it will work for him in proving Trump was right.

Hit at Trump's limited vocabulary ineloquence compared to his. 

Obama can't say anything because thanks to video archives, the man cannot speak well off the cuff without his teleprompter, he tends to drift, so I am sure if he wants to go there, the Trump campaign can turn that against him, so if I were Barack Hussein Obama, I would think about that before opening up his mouth

Biden looked back at his accomplishments yesterday and it is time for Obama to do the same to put the stake in Trumpism/MAGA.

Reading all the headlines, it seems a lot of Dems were not happy with Biden and his Swan song angry diatribe, but that's all history now.

Trump messed up by demanding an early debate. If Biden did really well it sets the tone early in the cycle. If Biden did really poorly they would have time to change candidates. Look what happened.

I'll hand it to the Harris Campaign, ever week has been a net positive. Walz is one of the rare times a VP has had a real positive effect. The roll out rallies have had massive turn outs. Momentum and enthusiasm is on their side. They have captured the every week and pushed the flailing Trump Campaign to the background.

Meanwhile JD Vance is a BOAT ANCHOR on Trump. The campaign has yet to find something actual undecided voters actually care about in terms of oppo on Harris. They are flailing while Harris keeps the momentum going.

The Harris camp feels confident enough they have Walz hitting up purple districts in red states to pull house seats.

Meanwhile Trump is taking the bait from the Lincoln Project and losing his mind over the ads they put on conservative news.

Planned Parenthood has killed 25 unborn babies in its Death-Mobile parked outside at the DNC.

You’ll get Harris because of Obama too.

When Obama ran for office he got close to 92% of the black vote, impressive

Kamala has less than 73% of the black vote and Trump decided to more than 20% of the black vote, which is not good news for Kamala, add to that, the Hispanic and law enforcement, I think we don't have to worry about a Harris Presidency.

-10 ( +5 / -15 )

Trump decided to more than 20% of the black vote

Even if this were correct (got a recent poll?) it won’t be enough. He’s yesterday’s old man.

Correct and yes, it is enough to tank Harris, if the Dems didn't think so, they wouldn't panic about trying to bring back black men that have walked away from the party. Even Van Jones made references about that, you don't want to lose more than 2% of the black or latino vote if you are a Democrat.

Wow.

Earlier this year, even the Democrat-loving media (which is most of the media) was not exactly in political love with Kamala Harris.

For instance, in March this year, even the highly Democrat-leaning Washington Post ran an op-ed piece with the headline:

For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step aside

Go ahead and Google that headline if you don't believe me. Washington Post ran the piece on March 15 of this year. Just five months ago.

The highlights:

"She was a colossal failure as border czar" -- again, this is the "progressive" WaPo saying this.

"Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others."

"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her."

This was all just FIVE MONTHS AGO.

How did Kamala Harris, in the space of only a few months, go from being (a) a horrible political liability for Democrats, to (b) the "future" of the Party and its grand glorious hope?

God help us if this woman becomes president -- which I'm sure the media, who again just a few months ago didn't seem too high on her, will do all they can to make happen.

-8 ( +5 / -13 )

Obama is 63. That was almost 20 years ago for former President Trump.

2 ( +9 / -7 )

she is not African-American, that is for sure, so she's Jamaican and Indian, ok

We’ve been through this. US government officially classify Jamaican ancestry US citizens as African American.

Do you need me to post the .gov link again?

10 ( +13 / -3 )

So it is about "race"

For the left, but what else is new?

-12 ( +3 / -15 )

One more thing from that Washington Post op-ed in March of this year:

"Her performance as second in command has been disappointing, to say the least. Americans have taken note ...

"... a recent analysis by FiveThirtyEight set her (Kamala Harris') average overall approval rating at just 37.2 percent, among the lowest recorded for a vice president.

"There’s no reason to think her ranking would spike were she suddenly promoted to the Oval Office. Instead, most signs point to disaster."

Again, this was just five months ago.

And again, this was in the very biased-toward-Democrats Washington Post.

But now, according to the media, she's now suddenly the greatest thing since sliced bread???

-10 ( +3 / -13 )

bass4funk

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”

She said it so many times, so it is confusing to her, she is not African-American, that is for sure, so she's Jamaican and Indian, ok

And this is the sort of comment that drives Kamala's poll numbers up, especially among black voters.

7 ( +9 / -2 )

Obama's elevation to the presidency was a step forward as a symbolic advance against racism, but he accomplished little and left America with a poisonous legacy: Biden and a trail of blood...

-4 ( +1 / -5 )

And this is the sort of comment that drives Kamala's poll numbers up, especially among black voters.

Not really, she remains close, and some areas like abortion higher, but she's not leading by 10-15 points over Trump and that is not a good sign for the Dems, in other words, the coronation of Kamala is not certain and then the debates, so once she talks about Crime and immigration it's kinda over for her.

Obama was such an 8 year disappointment. All the things he could have achieved had he not gone down the racial identity focused path.

That was poor.

JD Vance is polling lower than that according to FiveThrirtyEight.

The average has him at 33.3%

But now, according to the media, she's now suddenly the greatest thing since sliced bread???

A bit hysterical. Which media? I’m sure the rightwing podcasts for teenagers don’t agree. Fox News presenters wouldn’t agree ( but maybe say something else off screen or on WhatsApp groups ).

I don’t think too many see her as having the kind of abilities of Obama or Bill Clinton.

She just needs enough to beat an aging and clearly declining Trump.

This is damning - every Trump supporter here should read this;

“Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s former White House press secretary, came out strongly against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.

Grisham started her short speech by saying that not only was she a Trump supporter, she was also a “true believer” and one of his “closest advisers,” and that Trump’s family was her family.

“I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham said. “Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement-dwellers.”

So in addition to calling you “the great unwashed”, Trump is now saying all his supporters live in Mom’s basement…

Outraged enough yet?  Insulted enough yet?  Disrespected enough yet?

How much more humiliation does it take for your eyes to open to the MAGA con-job you’ve bought into?

Best Trump disses of the night;

Biden:  “Crime will keep coming down when we put a prosecutor in the oval office instead of a convicted felon.”

Hillary: “Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety,” Clinton said. “Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial ― and when he woke up, he made his own kind of history: the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions.”

Crockett: “America, looking at the two choices before you, who would you hire: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?” she asked the crowd. “Kamala Harris has a resume. Donald Trump has a rap sheet. She presides over the Senate, while he keeps our national secrets next to his thinking chair.”

Raskin: “JD Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor.”

Best diss though goes to Trump - who as related by his former communications director, called his own supporters "basement dwellers"...which may be the only accurate statement he's uttered in four years...

Convinced 20% of the Black vote, so I would say unequivocally, yes.

Or are you satisfied with just getting some negative attention?

That is on the MSM on the left, that will never change no matter what he does, ever. You can extend that to any conservative. The only praise the left will give to Republicans are people like Cheney and Kinzinger, people who don't matter or have any political sway within the party.

Wants to tax you into oblivion

Fake news put out by the extremist media and podcasts, to cover that Trump's 20% tariffs on everything would add thousands of dollars to costs for the people, while he'd give another tax break to the ultra-rich.

Remember, he crashed the economy. Hard. Left it a disaster. Just like Bush 2.

Remember how inflation is the lowest since Trump crashed the economy now? Notice how the stock market has hit its highest levels? Notice how unemployment is at a record low?

You guys are out of touch. November will be fun. The Kamalanomenon is real.

If you believe them, maybe.

We know it's painful, but isn't it better to just wake up and acknowledge you got played, and won't be duped anymore?

My taxes went up under Trump. Anyone who lived in a SALT state (which were mostly blue) who was middle and upper middle class income got screwed by the loss of SALT deductions. The tax breaks for the ultra wealthy was paid for on the backs of the middle and upper middle class folks in blue states. The GOP was dead to me at that point.

it's a higher plane of thought to understand that having an administration that will make more decisions for the good of the nation and more people, than one fixated on self-interest and the good of a few.

Go to my home state and ask the people. particularly Blacks and the police on how they feel about Kamala. How many Law enforcement departments support her?

I’m pretty busy these next few months. If you know the answer, you could make an actual persuasive answer by just telling us.

8 ( +8 / -0 )

After 2 days of the DNC:

we have no idea who we are or what we stand for, but hey we aren’t Trump. His name been mentioned hundreds of times already.

isn’t your convention to coalesce around your own core beliefs and values and share those and talk about yourselves and what you are gonna do?

the official Dem platform still lists Biden 2nd term multiple times.

some approval bumps for speakers, sure. But who unfortunately aren’t the nominee and make the nominee look really poor in comparison.

Well, we did learn one thing today - Trump can call his supporters "Basement Dwellers" - and they still love him...

Basement dwellers - as in uneducated losers who live in Mom's basement...

I wonder what other insults he could hurl at them in private and they still would revere him?

I guess the only person that could answer that is Jim Jones...

Kamala Harris snubs the Obamas by leaving Chicago for Milwaukee before they deliver DNC keynote speeches —

with former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, headlining night two of the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris left Chicago and traveled north to Wisconsin to address an almost-capacity arena audience and hold a DNC watch party with rally attendees — an obvious snub of the pair, who took their time in reluctantly endorsing her.

What a mess…

Obama didn’t save the DNC with his pretty words—it’s been a mess—a) many fake/cringe moments (this has to do with the fact that the MSM and the DP are painting Kamala as something she is not plus the false love shown to Biden) and b) many lies, or at least, distortions of reality.

Kamala's honeymoon phase is coming to an end; Trump is leading in Pennsylvania (it looks like he will win at least 3 battleground states) and she will have a hard time in the debates—the reality is here—it will be a closer race than it would be with Biden, but Trump will be the 47th President.

Not that wide and we won't know for sure as the polls and this convention are not over yet. keep the bib on. 

Harris is your next President Blacklabel, get your excuses ready.

I doubt it, especially when you look at the must-win battleground states, Trump gets PA, and it's over.

Only the most blinded MAGA-fans can deny the implosion of Trump's campaign and him personally...

His campaign crashed as soon as Biden dropped out - after spending millions targeting Biden's AGE...and now all those ads are being used against him... And his entire campaign has been trying to get him to talk policy instead of racist insults - and he ignores them...

So we get unhinged, lie-filled, "weird" rants like his latest speech;

"Donald Trump thinks it should be “illegal” for the public to criticize the Supreme Court justices who rule in his favor. In a bizarre speech over the weekend, between a bad Emmanuel Macron impression and claiming that he is better looking than Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump made a frightening declaration: He believes that those who criticize his judges should be punished."

Yes Obama is a good orator. However I just hear lies whatever comes out of his mouth, so find him incredibly boring to listen to.

He’s a politician. His lies are within the usual boundaries of what politicians lie about.

He’s not a pathological liar like Trump.

Still, strange reasoning. I don’t think Trump is boring despite his allergy to the truth. He’s obviously slowing down, slurring, mixing up names and not the man he was, but he’s got something when speaking.

Can be entertaining but less so these days.

Former President Donald Trump said he would consider appointing independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a cabinet position if he were to drop out and endorse the Republican—a move his vice presidential candidate said the ticket was considering the same day.

“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump told CNN, adding that he would be “honored” by the endorsement. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it,” Trump said.
