Maybe people felt he should have stuck to calling out all ethnic and racial hatred and not qualifying it.

+1. black people have suffered racism forever. Why call out antisemitism? Read the room. There are tons of black people in that room.

Tons of Jews (and people of other backgrounds) as well. Antisemitism has been around forever as well.

And it's all bad. I don't know why some posters feel that the persecution of their group should be paramount

Jews mention antisemitism and they’re accused of making it “paramount.” Can’t make this stuff up. Why do we bother voting Dem?

Because Trump will kill democracy. But it doesn’t make me feel good given the tacit acceptance of antisemitism

Just stop; you only make yourself sound stupid. Even the Post abandoned the false narrative of “trump is a threat to democracy.”

Exactly.

Except when he says things like how he’ll be a dictator only for the first day or how folks will never have to vote again….

Wise people watch what leaders do, and less of what they say.
Most Americans are demanding secure borders. He did it before and he’ll do it again. Dems opened borders on day one. Biggest mistake ever.

Trump killed the border security legislation. You’re an idiot.

Dp.. but Biden had 3 years to fix the issue. Why wait so long? I suspect because people were seeing the news of migrants overwhelming blue states, there was more concern so then Biden felt like he had to act.

He should've taken care if the issue in the first year. That was a lost opportunity to nail 2024

Blah, blah, blah. Call it later than you wanted it. Fine. A bipartisan group came up with a plan and Trump killed it for political gain. He doesn’t think it’s urgent. He just wants to scare people talking about it.

That was the problem. Biden didn't think it urgent and it got out of control. Your blah blah about this is why some people prefer Trump. But go on and stick your heads in the sand. I hope harris pays more attention to the blah blah.

Trump killed a tool that would have helped. You can’t get around that with nitpicky gripes about the process.

No one us disputing that. The point is that Biden let the border issue out of control. He had 3 years to address it. He could've used the EO that he is now using 3 years ago. Heck he could've used it even just last year.

Why Biden? When Trump was in office he had a red senate. If he wanted it to happen, it would have. Biden may have been president, but he did NOT have a blue senate - it was still red. The republicans talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. Also, Biden is not running for president. Harris is.

Rs are tying harris to Biden.

Trump tried to build a wall. That was his attempt and addressing it. Yes it was a dumb way to do it. But the perception is that he did try to do something unlike Biden when it was too late.

I am not that hopeful that harris will tackle it with any urgency. If Rs don't want to cooperate just use an EO like Biden did, if she's serious about it.

Harris already said she would sign that bill. Trump has not made the same promise.

The right is being played.

Michelle’s line about the affirmative action of generational wealth was a good one.

[Anonymous]

"Going small is petty, it's unhealthy, and it's not presidential."

- Michelle Obama

She had so many good lines in her speech. Top tier and if there was a winner tonight it was her.

She said what needed to be said but still kept it classy.

[Anonymous]

"Going small is unhealthy, it's petty, and it's not ... presidential."

- Michelle Obama

(corrected - I had a typo earlier)

Hiring more agents to process more immigrants isn’t what most Americans are demanding, but nice try!

Our Black job is voting.

The "affirmative action" of generational wealth.

Small is ... not presidential.

M Obama delivered a phenomenal speech and B Obama also killed it.

[Anonymous]

AOC’s appearance demonstrated that she is a future party leader even if she scares the establishment.

Hillary was good.

Michelle was great.

I”ve been a Harris fan since the 2020 primaries and love the joy she has brought to this race.

Barak was ok. Not thrilled to hear from Bill tomorrow. Emhoff was good. Can’t to wait hear Walz.

[Anonymous]

B Obama is the best orator I’ve heard in a long time. That’s a big part of how he won the presidency. I can’t think of anyone in his league. His wife and Harris are decent but not at his level.

[Anonymous]

Both Obamas were sensational. Michelle's had more zingers and gems embedded in her speech. But they were both genius speeches. Obama had more humor and was appealing to some of the conservatives and independents who voted for him in 2008.
