Agree.  Trumpworld had been beating the drum for months that America should not/cannot have an old guy as POTUS.  Not only is Trump now the old guy, he's also old news.  America is sick of Trump.  Everybody wanted someone new, not Trump or Biden.  Well now we got one.  Get used to hearing the words "President Kamala Harris."

misleading

 

The claim Harris “had an affair with a married man” is technically true. But given Brown had been separated from his wife for more than a decade, the claim is misleading. Haris and Brown’s relationship was not secret and they made public appearances as a couple ( here;

 

Technically true = true.

 

He was still married.

It’s not an individual thing, it’s across the board on the rightwing, and not just the US.

 

Biden has stepped down, the people on the rightwing who were last week posting about his age, health and suitability for the Presidency are now in angst over him having stepped and endorsed VP Harris.

 

The display of raw nerves, is astonishing.

I think the undemocratic appointment of Harris (not even bothering with those pesky primaries) delights Republicans.  She is a trainwreck of a candidate.  There are several others who would have a much better chance of beating Trump -- Shapiro (except the Left hates Jews these days) or Whitmer.  They're smart and don't carry Harris' baggage.

It's irrelevant what you did.

 

What I said was accurate. He was still married. He was 30 years older and in a position of power. They had a relationship. Then he promoted her.

Harris has pledged to confront Trump directly, drawing on her prosecutorial background. She has tackled predators and fraudsters and is ready to challenge Trump, whom she describes as a familiar type she's dealt with before.

Is this all that they can produce? A political prop deemed successor by autocrats. No rational policies, a campaign of fear mongering get Trump is all they have. Hasn’t the constituency of the left been able to see through the perpetual scam they’ve been sucked into?

Joe’s running the country.

 

He’s not running for re-election, and therefore no longer campaigning.

 

Where’s Trump is a more salient question.

 

The oldest candidate ever for the Presidency, perhaps he’s having a nap.

 

Do you think he’ll debate Harris?

Trump is now the deadweight for the GOP. Trump and his campaign like the Titanic will find difficult to change course and pivot their infrastructure towards a new younger opponent. He is airing his frustration publicly and incessantly posting on Truth Social. His campaign have to get back to the drawing board to work out new advertisements and messaging strategies. Trump will likely to descend to a more bitter aggressive frustrated demeanour in his rallies that will stoke violence.  Meanwhile GOP is staring into the abyss that they will again lose the White House and Congress and they are stuck with Trump. No one dare ask for him to step back and be replaced. He is the millstone around the GOP's neck. Off to prison felon.

He took a bullet for Democracy and was back on the campaign trail the next day. I doubt he has any concerns about the cackling psycho babbler who may or may not be the Dem's pick.

Oh, poor Donald(pun intended). Musk just backed out of his $45 million a month pledge to the Trump campaign. I guess Musk can see the writing on the wall.

Here’s the truth Jonny.

 

Soon after the news of Harris running was announced I cautioned ‘brace for misogyny and racism’.

 

It’s arrived and it’s only going to get worse.

 

You can choose whether or not to take part in it, there is no compulsion (other than of the reflexive kind).

Please tell me that’s true.

A very smart prosecutor, vs. a very dull convicted felon. Has a nice ring to it. Trump will do anything in his power to avoid any direct confrontations with her, as she will clean his clock, with those extra 50 IQ points, over the dullard.

Of course your wails of misogyny and racism were expected.😃 All your prediction did was pave the way for 3 months of crying when presented with facts about Harris. 

 

So let's go back to the facts? Did she or did she not have an affair with the married Willie who was 30 years older than her, in a position of political power and then later promoted her? 

 

As for racism, I think it's great that we could have the first Indian American candidate if the Dems decide to go that way.

He didn't back out. The initial pledge was misreported by WSJ. 

 

They made up the pledge, Musk corrected them and then they claimed Musk had retracted what he had never promised in the first place. 😃

She's on the expected bounce. An upsurge is not unusual, but will it last? Plenty of time for the GOP to destroy her, based on her own actions, or in the case of the southern border, inaction.

 

IMO she is inherently unlikable, and incompetent, but will that be enough to make her lose? We will have to wait till November to know.

 

The main thing for me, is that she didn't win a primary in her POTUS bid- people just don't like her.

She is a lot more intelligent than Trump.

Prosecutor vs Felon, that will be a nice debate.

Ah yes, the prosecutor who said whe was "proud" of a rapist (Jacob Blake) who assaulted police officers. Who set up and promoted charities to pay the bail for violent rioters. Who jailed pot smokers and was a pot smoker herself.

 

You are right, it WILL be a nice debate.
