Thailand raises retirement age to 65 for all sectors

In a recent interview, GOP strategist and former Mitt Romney adviser Stuart Stevens shared a bold prediction regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances in the upcoming election. Speaking with *Vanity Fair’s* Joe Hagan, Stevens praised the Harris campaign’s strategy, describing it as "the best presidential campaign ever." He expressed confidence in her potential for a decisive victory, stating, “Harris is going to win fairly comfortably. I think Harris is gonna win by a larger margin than 2020. [Republicans are] gonna say this election was rigged, and the Republican Party is going to fail again. And it’s going to be very, very ugly.”

 

Stevens highlighted the strategic balance Harris has maintained, navigating traditional campaign topics like the economy and border policies while also addressing what he considers the unusual nature of this race. “The Harris campaign has done a balance of dealing with these issues you would deal with in a normal race — economy, border — while reminding people that this isn’t remotely a normal race,” he said.

 

Contrasting Harris’s approach, Stevens offered a critical view of former President Trump’s campaign strategy, which he characterized as unfocused and disruptive. According to Stevens, Trump’s campaign lacks a clear vision beyond instilling fear among voters. “There is no plan except voter intimidation,” Stevens stated, adding, “It’s a very chaotic campaign that has no focus.” 

 

The Republican strategist also criticized Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to Trump and a figure known for his 2004 campaign tactics against former Secretary of State John Kerry. Stevens suggested that LaCivita’s campaign approach, especially policies targeting transgender individuals, reveals the Trump camp’s lack of substantive direction. Referring to LaCivita’s previous attacks on LGBTQ issues, Stevens said, “Well, the closest would be the trans policy attacks. But that’s a policy that was put in place when Trump was president by his own Bureau of Prisons,” referencing a 2018 Justice Department policy change that limited protections for transgender inmates in federal facilities.

 

Stevens speculated on the motivation behind these tactics, stating, “There’s two ways to look at it: One, you can say, well, they’re doing it because it’s working; two, they’re doing it because they don’t know what else to do. I think it’s more the latter than the former.”

 

With Election Day less than two weeks away, polling data indicates a tight race. According to *The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s* polling index, Harris leads Trump by a narrow margin, holding 48.7 percent of voter support compared to Trump’s 47.7 percent. As both campaigns press forward, Stevens’s comments add fuel to an already intense election cycle that continues to shape up as a high-stakes and deeply polarized contest.

I certainly hope he correct,personally I think many republicans are going to vote for Harris no one in their circle will be the wiser…..

Has this loony actually been watching this "campaign"?

[Cryingdick]

It's funny watching the libs try to pretend to remain stoic. We are on the precipice of a dictator worse than Hitler taking over.

[spidermike007]

I believe she'll be Biden in terms of the popular vote, and likely win the popular vote by 8 to 10 million. The question is will that be enough to win the electoral college? I'm pretty confident it will be but we'll know very soon.

Only way Harris can win anymore is voter fraud

Deep down inside his limited gray matter, Trump knows he's lost it (the election, that is). But he'll carry on his bad-mouthing charade for as long as he has Fox and the like to carry his lies. And unfortunately, that will be long after November 5.

I agree I hope when he starts bleating and whining the DOJ slaps a gag order on him as the cases go through the courts,if he continues to yap lock him up!

Anyone can try to predict what will happen, but nobody will know until it’s all over. I’m not happy with either choice and sure there are many people in the same boat. Time will tell. Until then it’s just a guessing game.

So let’s pause for a moment and recognize who inserted the first ‘Hitler’ into this thread.

[WDSmart]

I certainly hope Harris wins. I've voted for her. 

I'm sure she will win the popular vote, probably by as much as 5 million. But the Electoral vote is still up for grabs. I think our Electoral system is outdated and needs to be changed or eliminated.

And here we have a problem with Trump’s supporters, both foreign and domestic.

 

Non of us know who will win the election, we of course all have our view. 
 

However Trump has already primed his supporters, both foreign and domestic, not to accept the result unless he wins.

 

How these people will respond if Trump does not win remains to be seen.
 

We have interesting times ahead of us.

 

[mogandave]

All of the sudden, all you have to do to get on TV and bash Trump. 

 

Every Republican is a qualified expert on how bad Trump is, any welcome on any news outlet in the country. 

 

The left licking Dick Chaney’s boots, how funny is that?

Not happy then?

 

Or is it just you don’t like people who actually know Trump sharing their opinions on him with the electorate?

Why would I not be happy? I hate Harris’s policies (open borders, DEI, divide the country, men in girls showers etc.) but she would likely be good for me financially. 

 

And again, the left lying and groveling amuses me. 

 

Life is good for me brother, you good?

Actually, you are wrong. Many Dems are now switching to say they will vote for Trump. That is why he is in the lead now in the polls.

I think it is people like you making comments such as these that instigate more problems not just with the Republicans but with the Dems also. Just like Harris and Biden putting a bullseye on Trump prior to someone actually attempting to assassinate him.

Then you’ll have no problem with providing quotes from me stating that the only way Trump can lose is if the Dems cheat.

 

Or maybe comments from me stating ‘the Dems are giving ‘illegals’ the vote’.

 

How about me saying ‘we’ve got the guns’.

I don't pay any attention to Stevens because it is obvious that he is just speaking Democrat propaganda. I'm surprised that he didn't say that Trump is Hitler, which is what the Dems have called the Republican candidate at each election for 60 years.

Harris calling Trump a fascist and a dictator show how attractive she and her policies are to the American citizenry.

PBS Newshour, broadcast in the USA last eve, talked about the attempted fraud, burning of ballots, false video of mail in ballots being destroyed. Gee, I do wonder which supporters are involved here?  Fortunately, the election officials reiterated the checks and safeguards actively exposing these attempts to throw doubt into the American election process. My thanks to all our American poll/election workers who are diligently working as American citizens to keep our elections safe and secure (even while the right threatens them and their families from those who follow Trump's false claims of winning the 2020 election).

Trump himself has promised to be a dictator and has frequently used the rhetoric of notable fascists.
