and given he's a political loyalist who sought a pardon, i don't trust a thing he said. setting aside supreme court interference, the other half of what keeps trump unimpeached and out of jail and such, is that you have to get someone from that disturbing inner circle to rat him out when he does bad things, and a lot of them would sooner go to jail themselves than roll on el jefe.
I am a die hard Kamala supporter, but it does surprise me how poor she performs at answering difficult questions.
Doesnt change my opinion, as Donald is literally an incompetent piece of garbage. I’m not saying that to be insulting, I’m just giving you facts.
Kamala is poor at answering unscripted questions. Donald is literally the dumbest trust fund baby I’ve ever seen. Facts.
yeah, to me, how you end up at military schools and fordham as the child of a multimillionaire NYC slumlord is amazing. that's frittering away a ton of advantages. but then daddy handed him his seed money and he wound up bankrupt. also amazing.
it's kind of like tucker is heir to the swanson fortune, educated at elite boarding schools here and abroad, and barely able to get in and graduate from trinity college, one of the easiest NESCACs. i was a poor kid at a public school and i got in a better college than that.
it's also hard to believe that people who are working class look to people like this, whose whole motto is money talks, as though they will somehow help them.
I didn’t watch, and I’ve seen very little over the past 4 years, but what I’ve seen is bad.
I get why people don’t like Trump, but he can speak. He was the star of a TV show, and famous for his business presence before that. I never really liked him, but I’m voting for him over the far left.
Either way the results of the election won’t ruin my day.
It's so sad how the criteria for being a good leader is almost entirely based on how well you perform in front of a camera. Do any of you have any public speaking experience? It is extremely hard to think on your feet and come up with genuinely good answers (or deflections) to public policy questions on the fly. It is a skill that bears little relation to critical thinking/problem solving, policy crafting, or coalition building, which are the foundation of governing. People who perform well in front of the camera are not normal and are more akin to performance artists. Politicians with lots of "rizz" should make us skeptical, not comfortable.
i see this differently. someone who comes up from other executive and legislative jobs has lived "government" and "policy" for years? decades? they have worked out positions on this that and the other issue. it's almost a reflex.
trump is a businessman/rich person who yields word salad.
and harris is a career lawyer until she made biden's ticket. mind you, city DA, state AG, which is not messing around, but her instincts feel like those of a lawyer -- emphasis the good facts and pretend the contentious stuff doesn't exist -- as opposed to a political candidate -- who should have a platform on everything, and be able to defend what went on this term.
IMO she's better suited to an attorney general gig than this.
Anderson was tougher on her than Baier was during the Fox interview. She really struggled answering questions articulately. I don’t get her why she has such a difficult time. And when she does get around to answering the questions, her answers are so vague.
I’m still voting for her since the alternative is so horrid, but she is really a bad candidate. We would probably be better off with Biden for another 4 years.
Yeah, those 4 years Trump was in Office were just awful. Wait, what?
Waste your vote on Harris, I love it as it will have been a wasted effort. He's winning this thing and the country will be better off for it. Biden was awful, Harris would be worse.

I agree that either one winning won’t change the direction of the country much. A lot of people on this board act like the world is going to end if one or the other candidate wins. Go to the “Kamala Harris” thread. There’s a bunch of wackos who think the world will end.
Having said that. I think Harris needs to stop comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s lazy and stooping to his level. She should be better than that.

you're not paying attention if you think the last 4 years went badly. pandemic is basically gone. unemployment is down. inflation is down. migration is down.
i do think afghanistan was handled badly, but that was always going to be the "last days of saigon" after trump agreed to leave by a deadline. he just didn't win the election where it happened on his watch. but it's laughable that the anti-migration folks were going to get all the interpreters and such out. like you want us to believe you were quietly friends of the refugee. my understanding is y'all slow walked the visas.
biden was then faced with a paradox -- the GOP started up day 1 with the migration create a crisis. just because it changed presidents. y'all are then like get non citizens out of afghanistan.
pick a lane, please.
kind of like, y'all wanted movement on migration in general, then a bill got offered, and it's nah, what we really want is our guy president.

you can't possibly be a dem and think that she's comparing him to hitler as opposed to saying he's a little oddly interested in hitler, and friends with many dictators.
This is Hillary all over again... because Kamala is a bad candidate, I'll let our country be run by a criminal. FFS.
i do wonder if someone at DNC thought this was a genius idea or if instead it was like, bail, offer up someone throwaway, harris isn't serious, we won't be wasting a 2028 candidate for this. she wasn't even in the top handful of potential swapouts in the polls.
heck, i think truly far-left bernie would pull better numbers. it's amusing watching people suggest a DA/AG is some flaming liberal.

it's fake.
I meant when I saw her speak it was bad.
Inflation is not down from Jan 2021. It may be down from its peak, but it’s still higher than it’s been most of the 21st century. Prices are significantly up since 2021. I’m not too concerned about it as the value of my home and investments have also gone up.
The Biden administration doesn’t get credit for eradicating the pandemic. It was a disease that killed the old, obese and/or immunocompromised. It mutated and was even less dangerous. Everyone has been to exposed to it. The curve flattened naturally and the vaccine did help, which Trump initiated.
I have issues with both sides on the economy. There’s a lot I don’t like on the far left that I won’t get into.
But I live in a nice purple town in a purple state (will be red for the election)🗳️ , so I’m all good no matter what happens.
An earlier post you mentioned that Trump can talk while Harris sounds rambling. This is my take as well. I dislike both candidates, but Trump can speak and doesn't even seem to hold back. I can't take the democrat party anymore, and that's after voting blue almost exclusively since 1992 (Bill Clinton was my first vote, I turned 18 that spring).
Anyone with some intelligence will stay away from supporting Trump in public but will vote for him in private. I think this is why his rallies are always so poorly attended. This feels like an election where minds are already made up, there aren't really undecideds, only folks that are keeping quiet.
For the record, I support term limits on congress and senate, same as what president has. Two terms. I support age limits as well, if we force military officers out at age "65 (or whatever it currently is), then our politicians should be subject to the same.

70 IQ is the problem for Harris. She is legitimately mentally handicapped, all of this is so far over her head its not even funny. The Dems love running someone this incapable though to see if they can prove to themselves that they can get ANYONE elected. Already "fortified" a dementia patient into the White House, why not try someone in the lowest 5% range of American IQs next?

It's time to stop referring to her as unintelligent or low IQ. Whatever her deficits, Kamala Harris (ultimately) passed the California bar exam. Unintelligent people do not do that.
She's a woman, and a minority. In California they auto-pass you for any type of certification if you meet those 2 criteria. Wake up!

How to tell us that you don't know how bar exams work, without saying you don't know how bar exams work.
Bar exams are taken and graded anonymously. The graders have no way to know who wrote a particular essay, and a large portion of the exam is multiple choice/machine scored.
I missed that. But I caught the Trump/Harris event. I thought she was very articulate and intelligent in that one--far more so than her opponent who wandered and uttered strange things that had no place at such an occasion.
