And have to listen to four years of word salad from her? Yeah, no thanks.
Concerned Citizen
Kamala Harris would be a disaster.
Alfie Noakes
A strange article. Earlier this year the word was that Harris was wildly unpopular within her own party and regarded as an electoral liability by the leadership, who actually wanted to dump her for someone better.

Oh no. Joe was the winner of the primary and as such will be the nominee. Muh democracy and all that.
Kamala already used DEI to get VP. As you remember she got less than 1% from her own party and got her doors blown off in the debate in the short time she was a candidate.
Hervé L'Eisa
Wisdom of Kamala:
“It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down”
Would you like some dressing on your salad?
Blacklabel
the Democrat debate. Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala then Kamala called Joe a racist. then dropped out with less than 1% of the vote soon after.
then DEI called and she is VP somehow.

Since when did JT switch to satire?

As an administrator, prosecutor Kamala Harris is arguably "capable".
As Vice President to Joe Biden Presidency even "capable" is stretching credibility to its breaking point.

This is the very definition of political "ideology" over substance, constant repetition over a future vision that offers Americans change, through proven economic policies that promote growth.
Communities the length and breath of US are divided a never before, politically economically.

The U.S. Government Keeps Breaking the Economic Golden Rule: Do No Harm
https://time.com/6277025/us-government-interest-rates-debt/
Yet 2024, it is the most venerable US families and households that have seen incomes subject to inflation, to rising food prices and essentials.
A respected US newspaper described Kamala Harris in the eyes of voters, if there is anyone more incompetent than President Biden it is his VP. A walking talking "word-cloud" of giggling "flapdoodle".
The promise to protect woman's rights, lower child care costs, prescription charges, to protect Social Security and Medicare is the case in question.
The policies to make these pledges happen, have simply not materialized.
The underlining failures are exacerbated by a political ideology over abilities, leadership in government to competently manage the US economy.
That is before this US government inability to come to any rational means to contain two devastating wars.

Harris was used by the Democrat honchos merely as a vote-getter for women then relegated to the backroom and forgotten so as not to outshine the aging Biden. She was never groomed and prepared to take over as resident because Biden and his handlers wanted all the limelight on the boss without a serious thought about succession. The Democrat establishment are now paying the price for their flawed strategy and bigly so for letting Trump off the AG's hook with their reluctance to bring him to justice. So now they're in panic mode after a disastrous debate and a bleeding ear. DUH!
bass4funk
He does, that’s what got him in trouble last time. Kamala can’t even keep her staff from quitting.
FizzBit
Wow
Kinda sounds like jealousy to me.
If not, trash talking Vance with all his accomplishments is just elementary school talk.
bass4funk
The Dems have no deflection, none.
Yes.

Yes, what?
You left out the 3 appointed Conservative Supreme Court Justices, thanks Mitch.
The Biden ones, nope.
Trust me, I am calm.

DaDude
and you did fine as well so you can stop acting like the World is going to end if Trump is elected.
bass4funk
You forgot on thing in that short rant one main component. “Illegal”
Yes, he did.
Because it’s not a lie. 10 million illegals? That’s not by accident, and Blacks are starting to find that out and they don’t like it one bit. Another reason why Democrats are bleeding one of their most reliable voting constituency’s
bass4funk
No, he's the minority leader but the man helped to get those justices onto the bench.

taiwanchina:
And that's where the Democrats also fail miserably. Most do not support a genocide in Gaza and do not want America to continue funding the war there or in the Ukraine.
bass4funk
Many are, yes.
Across the country, yes.
You can hear the interviews of the El Salvadoran president, yes, it’s true.
https://youtu.be/WtkI-QAgM6w?si=kaIB1L-DsfSfJvCm
Yes

No, once you take the emotion and partisanship out of it, he was spot on.
Yes, and I just did and there’s lots more to back up the stats. The more the Dems try to run away from the truth, the more they will sink in the polls.

Fact check: Trump makes more than 20 false claims in RNC acceptance speech.

Fact check: Trump makes more than 20 false claims in RNC acceptance speech.
And so what does that have to do with my comment?
bass4funk
I honestly doubt it. Not this cycle, I think the Dems need to regroup and come up with a different message and focusing on globalist problems is not helping the party, that’s just a fact. It doesn’t matter left or right, Republican or Democrat, you take care of your house and kids before taking in someone else’s. That’s just common sense. If they did that, I think they could build a firewall against Trump just on that critical issue alone.

Majority of Democrats think Kamala Harris would make a good president, AP-NORC poll shows
What can we say about those Democrats?
Don't they care how their president must feel?
bass4funk
What lies? Yahoo news, really?
So why is Biden’s numbers slipping still?
What?
Won it back in 2022
Hmmm
And the Dems used every illegal tactic to take Trump out of the election cycle with all of these sham lawsuits and pathetic loser politicians like Bennie Thompson tried to take away Secret Service protection from Trump( thank God that never materialized in light of what happened) it made the party and him stronger and more united than it’s ever been in decades.
Yes, and you see the hysteria in the Dems eyes.
No violence and they are coping with that Biden is a compromised and finished candidate.
plasticmonkey
Are most of these people coming from prisons and insane asylums, as Trump says? Is crime up, as Trump says? Is the murder rate in El Salvador down 70% “because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America"? Is it true that Social Security and Medicare are going broke because of illegal immigration, as Trump says?
Trump’s speech was chock full of lies. All easily fact checkable. It boggles the mind how MAGA folks just don’t care.
bass4funk
Hmmm…

Between Trump and a 36 yr old rock, I'd vote for the rock. It won't be petty. It won't destroy the US govt and all our allies. It won't try to implement Project 2025 which will cut funding for all fact-based govt departments, leaving political whims to make choices.
Don't forget that Trump claimed parts of Alabama were included in Florida just to make a hurricane flub seem less true. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/09/04/president-trump-shows-doctored-hurricane-chart-was-it-cover-up-alabama-twitter-flub/?itid=lk_inline_manual_9 Remember that and how he kept his mistake in the news for 4 days! 4 days over a stupid mistake that he wouldn't admit. Petty.
Look up what destroys democracies ... one greedy person at the top who wants to be an "Emperor" - economic problems, reducing the power of the "representative govt body". Ever noticed that Trump wants that for himself? He dreams of being just like Putin.
Yep. I'd rather have a rock in power than Trump. I see Biden as a placeholder name for "not Trump". Kamala Harris would be fine, though she isn't seen as a great choice. She's smart, but there are lots of others who are smart too.
Seems odd that a convicted felon like Trump could be allowed to run for office at all. He cannot even legally own a firearm! I truly hope his homes have been searched and cleared of all guns since his conviction.
I still struggle with most of the ideas that Democrats want to happen and their spending. Before 2020, I'd never voted for a Democrat in my life. The GOP has drove me away with all their liars. I cannot vote for liars. I just can't.
JJE
Unspoken truth is they need to push not just Joe aside, but her too.
There's something out there called a voting public and unfortunately the symbolic VP choice won't work as people aren't the fools they take them for.
A whole new direction is called for. Time is short but that is self-inflicted.

Mattman, 59, said he believes Biden will not be able to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump — a prospect that leaves Mattman “very distraught.”
Poor guy--could use some emotional support.
sakurasuki
Did that poll count Trump too or only limited choice being shown at that poll?
stormcrow
I think she'd make a good president, too. However, would she be the best candidate to defeat Trump this November?
Busby
And she would...any of the Dems, with the exception of Menendez, would be a great President - head and shoulders above the puppet of Putin, convicted felon, and soon to be inmate.
The RNC Convention reminded me of two of my favorite TV shows; it had more conspiracy theories and lies than The X Files - and had more criminals, felons, and miscreants than America's Most Wanted.
dagon
You did fine with 8 years of GWB Bushisms and 4 years of Trump. You'll survive.
Busby
So the current, and still ongoing count of Trump's lies during his RNC speech is "over twenty".

That's very disturbing, but what is even more disturbing is that MAGA-world doesn't want the truth - it wants the lies.
They want to revel in a far-right fantasy world where Hugo Chavez (dead for 10 years) stole an election, where Taylor Swift is a Deep State plant, and where pizza parlors are the main threat to the US.
The problem is that reality always intrudes on their fantasy world - like when they lost the Senate in 2018, lost the Presidency in 2020, and failed to produce a "Red Wave" in 2022 - and the real world will intrude again in Nov 2024 - and once again we'll see "unhinged" MAGA outrage and violence as they try to cope with reality.

And the advisors that actually study national security are clear that defending Ukraine is essential and Israel must also not be allowed to be attacked from external actors.

Harris with her prosecutorial background (much of which I have strong reservations about) will have rich pickings going after Trump and she will probably do it more forcefully than Biden can.
Sam with whoever her VP pick will be with Vance.

MAGA have tried to use the them that a West Coast Big Tech Dem elite is their opponent but that is clearly not the case.

What lies Bass ?
Fermenting a hysterical belief that "THEY " are "opening their ' INSANE ASYLUMS ' to form part of the illegal migrant "hordes " descending on this pristine, white nation of America.
Thats what your boy, Trump {adult /child in reality } , said.
What a disgraceful lie to put out there and MAGA crowd just as disgraceful to lap it up like little kittens lap milk.
TaiwanIsNotChina
I bet they are not lining up to say she is unfit to be president.

"“I think she would be a very strong advocate for abortion, has been and would continue to be,” said Thomas Mattman, a Democrat from Chico, California.* There has to be more than stated here.
dagon
Your memory is as faulty as your logic. MAGA
Harris got in some good zingers and most people remember the fly on Pence's head.
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54455637
MAGA really wants to keep Biden in the race.
I though MAGA always said it is half the country. More MAGA fantasy.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Their party their rules. Republicans haven't won a popular vote since 2004.
TaiwanIsNotChina
All it takes to be president is to actually listen to your advisors, something Trump has never been able to do.
GuruMick
Taiwan...we agree.
A past Pres. said something like "when I'm talking , I'm not learning "
Good advice.
