The bettors disagree with you. Trump is about a 60-35 favorite. And all your petty insults at people who disagree with you won't change it.

Yeah, Chuck was in 'tortured prisoner' mode with his over-wrought gestures and speech pattern. According to him, Kamala was able to rally support from the 'grassroots', from the 'ground up' within 15 minutes of Biden stepping down, so it is a done deal. If I were a Democrat, I'd be a little p1ssed off by now. Only a week ago they were talking about having an "open convention", and now it is becoming a coronation.

You're right. Hillary was a very smart and seasoned politician with a wealth of experience on the world stage. IMHO far smarter and verbally adept than Kamala. Your continuing to use ad hom attacks on Trump is rich. A man does not run a billion dollar company, produce a decade long hit TV show, or upend the political establishment and win the Presidency by being an idiot.

This is true. Trump's foibles are well known and already 'baked in the pie'. As Harris gets known to the public, her radical positions will come out and her support will begin to wither. Examples; a. confiscation of guns b. end to fracking and offshore drilling c. abolishing ICE d. free health care for all illegal immigrants and so on

The b-b-but Trump! is strong in this thread.

I think it is fairly standard protocol when the leader of an allied country speaks to Congress. This was not an Israeli political event, it was a long planned visit by the democratically elected leader of an ally.

Yeah? What other countries in that area are democratic and respect civil rights for minorities? Try being gay or female in Gaza for a day, if you survive.

No more than referring to the freely elected leader of one of America's staunchest allies, and the leader of the only functioning democracy in the Middle East (and the only one with rights for LGBT, women, and minorities) as a 'war criminal'.

Yeah, pandering to Hamas is so much better...

Yes. Her reason was that she is intimidated by the pro-Hamas supporters in her party. Hence her snubbing of one of America's greatest allies.

Trump isn't the VP or a member of Congress. No reason for him to be there. But it is noteworthy that Netanyahu visited Trump afterwards. Kamala? A quiet meeting with no press and no photos. Why are you gaslighting like this? She was obviously trying to appease the anti-semites in her Party.

Kamala really blew it here. She should have been at Netanyahu's speech, showing a modicum of leadership and statesmanship. Especially since Biden was out. Yet she slunk away to speak at a sorority. Really shows how she, and much of Democratic leadership, are scared of the Hamas Wing of their party. Meanwhile, Washington was left to suffer at the hands of the terror supporters. American flags were burned and replaced with Palestinian ones. Was anyone arrested? Sickening.

JD is a brillian pick. He makes the rust belt swing states ALL in play. He is also a far better speaker and debater than Palin. I was looking forward to seeing him dissect Kamala, oh well. As for who she picks, Shapiro is off the board. No Jews allowed in today's Democratic party. As forthe campaign, Harris has a habit of starting strong and finishing weak. Remember 2020?

Whatever you are 'consuming', if you have any left I would like some. Although perhaps not if it makes a person so paranoid and delusional.

The polls, and more importantly the bookies, do not agree with you. Current odds are 65-70% Trump victory. And that will only increase once Kamala starts to campaign. Same as in 2020. And Harris wont pick Shapiro because he is Jewish. Did you see what happened at Netanyahu's speech? something like 50 Democrats didnt even show up, including the VP. The Democratic party is in thrall to their anti-semitic base.

Not sure where you get those stats. I checked, and in the last election, the Democrats won college educated voters by 56-43. BUT... the GOP usually wins both the male and the white vote. So I am not sure how you reach "overwhelmingly" in your analysis.

You sound like one of the smugs who equate education with intelligence. And it will haunt those like you in November.

I disagree. Trump has excellent political instincts. Love him or hate him, you have to admit it. The way he has reshaped the GOP into a more inclusive and populist party has been masterful. His rallies attract thousands of people, they are fun and he is great at reading the crowds. It is an easy dodge to simply say, "half of America is stupid", but YOUR half is smart.

You are partly right. But he spent a lot/most of his time in Kentucky with his extended family, as did his sister. His mother stayed in Ohio, but she was a drug addict and did not raise her children.

Funny though that she has never shown that yet. She may have been a prosecutor but that was a while ago, and she was rather famous for never actually being in too many courtrooms. Not sure why people think she is such a braniac- Howard University (her alma mater) doesn't even crack the top 100 universities in America. University of Cali Law school was the #82 Law School in the States. Not exactly Ivy League.

I don't think she would, actually. What is her track record at debates so far? Look no further than the 2020 primaries. She does not do well when questioned directly or when she needs to answer extemporaneously. As for Trump, check his debates with Hillary Clinton. Some say he won and some that he lost, but it cannot be denied that he at least did respectably well. And Hillary is far the intellectual superior to Kamala, as well as a far better debater. So, if Trump could handle Hillary, he won't have trouble with Kamala. Especially if the debate is in a more GOP friendly arena. How about using Fox News?

Hell yeah, it is a very impressive start. No question. But if you review her 2020 campaign, it was remarkably similar. Lots of buzz in the beginning but tailed off. We shall see. I think the GOP was hoping for Biden to run, but Kamala was their next choice. They can tar her with the same brush regarding Biden's failed policies. Plus her own rather radical ideas. IMHO one of the more moderate governors would have been a stronger candidate at the top of the ticket.

Considering who Biden thought was the "smartest person I know", then Trump talking to his kids seems rather tame. They are all bright, well educated, well traveled, etc.

I thought those were checkmarks of the current Democratic Party....

Something could be worked out. But the key is to keep the Supremes away from politics. Having fixed terms would make the justices part of the political system and vulnerable to responding to politics rather than ruling based on the Constitution. Almost by nature a judgeship needs to be a terminal position, followed by retirement or death.
