Ironic that the Marine veteran, who actually served in Iraq, graduated Yale law school, and is happily married with 3 kids is somehow the weird one. I can't figure that out. Walz was the consolation prize because Shapiro wisely decided to hold his fire and wait for 2028. Plus Kamala's ego wouldn't permit a VP who might overshadow her. Oh, and he's Jewish, which the radical fringe of the Democratic party would abhor. The GOP breathed a sigh of relief that Shapiro was not picked.

I was not a Trump supporter in 2016. I preferred almost any other GOP candidate. But when elected Trump actually governed fairly moderately. He kept the economy on track, lowered interest and inflation and unemployment. They were stable and prosperous years until the pandemic. That convinced me that about 90% of what he says is bluster and BS. But the policies were sound. Now, look at the policies of Harris/Walz. Abortion until birth, anti-semitic, terrible economy, bad on immgration, etc. Seems a no brainer choice. Not to mention that it is deeply suspicious how the Dems organized the coup against Joe Biden and the media just skips along past it. Plus the total lack of media access and interviews.... what are they hiding?

RCP has it as a basic dead heat now. Not surprising since Kamala/Tim are in their honeymoon period. Also the Trump campaign has been very slow and reacted poorly to the sudden change of candidate. They were over invested in beating Biden, but beating Kamala takes a different strategy. Too much waffling at the moment.

Good lord. This dude is one year, ONE YEAR older than me and Kamala. Just look at the photos- unbelievable. A man shouldn't age like that unless there is something behind it. Is this the Democrats attempt to add 'gravitas' to their ticket?

If that is the case, why was it not corrected in the MSM for 3 YEARS? THey and the administration gleefully allowed the title, however informal it may be, to be used for purposes of media reports and the like. Yet suddenly it is inaccurate? Please. Why didnt Kamala come out and say, "oh, I'm not the border czar" in 2021, or 2022, 0r 2023? It only became an issue when it was politically expedient for the Democrats.

Q: What's the difference between an infant and a husband? A: Not much, but at least you can leave the infant alone with your nanny.

According to her father, they were actually proud slave OWNERS. And no, she does not share much in common with most African Americans, whose ancestors have been in the country for centuries, lived through Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, etc. She was the pampered daughter of well-to-do academics, growing up in the safe lefty enclave of Berkeley California.

Nice way to ignore the topic. But the point is that we expect Trump to have the morals of an alleycat. It's baked into the pie. But Harris is supposed to be showing her virtue, a nice blended biracial family. Yet...her husband abused a young woman working for them (power harrassment is real as the young lady in question was working for the Emhoff family). AND got her pregnant, if the news reports are to be believed. What happened to the baby? And got her fired from her position as a teacher in a private elementary school. Makes you wonder about Kamala's judgement.

Not my leader of choice. If I'd had my druthers, I would have gone for someone like DeSantis or Christie. But we got what we got. And when compared to the Democrats' choice, the decision is easy.

Doesn't elude me at all. I come from a biracial family. But what we don't do is pander based on whatever racial identity is convenient or expedient at the time. What may drive away black voters is her inauthenticity, her background prosecuting/persecuting black men for petty crimes, and her lack of connection to the greater African American community through a common history.

I disagree, as you might expect. I recall it was the Democrats, with Hillary as Sec State, that showed off the "reset button" with regards to Russo/American relations. Putin would far rather negotiate with Harris than Trump, Russia tends to do its dirty business when Democrats are in office. And yeah, it IS possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Seems a lot of folks just like to vent their bile and have no other outlet than the safe anonymity of this forum. OR If you want to sling mud, at least be clever or original. Repeating the same trite accusations and phrases is a waste of time. At least provide a modicum of entertainment!

Oooops. After digging through Trump's personal life for years, the chickens are coming home to roost. So Mr. Kamala got his kids' elementary school teacher pregnant while still married to their mother? Interesting.

Translation; Putin wants Harris to win the election, so he pulled the trigger on this deal to give her and Biden some credibility. I mean, seriously. Can you imagine Kamala across the table from Putin, or Xi Jin Ping? They would be hard pressed to contain their laughter.

My God, your jealousy and obsession are palpable. In your dreams could you live a life like Trump has. Get over yourself.

I have. I have heard him speak for close to two hours, off the cuff, in a very entertaining way, with humour and intent. He's very entertaining. Now that your "what about..." has been satisfied, are YOU satisfied with how YOUR candidate speaks? Because she does have a certain reputation for being, how shall we say, salady.

Here is what you get when future-President Harris speaks without a prepared speech; "This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy." Trots out a few of her favorite buzzwords (significance, understanding, etc) and salads them together into a waste of oxygen.

I would prefer successful businessmen and successful presidents personally. Her record of achievements is paper thin.

Congrats to her, and welcome to the party! History has a habit of repeating itself. One thing Kamala 2020 and Kamala 2024 have in common- both received zero primary votes.

Hey America! Dont repeat the same mistakes as your distressingly woke neighbour to the north. We went through the same sort of hand wringing and navel gazing 3 years ago, over the supposed discovery of secret graves of Indian children. None have been found to be true, yet the moaning and gnashing of teeth continue.

I disagree. You are different from the weirdo in chief. Trump actually has a sense of humour.

Another parrot, squaking the same tired talking points. People focus on things like this because they are reluctant to discuss any issues of substance that might endanger their candidate.

Really? You certainly sound like you are. You parrot the same talking points, use the same trite phrases, and show a lack of critical thinking that enbubbled people tend to feature.

Glad you enjoyed my post. And actually, history is my 'thang'.

Sure. Like every month is "white history month". Grow up.

...and you know this how?
