Trump was Trump. He’s entertaining whether you love him or hate him.


I do NOT love him but admit he was funny. He sometimes has some very good comedic timing. Biden can also be very funny, which is why he should have ditched his cranky old man schtick; he has a great smile and wry wit. He should’ve buried angry Joe deeply inside and embraced smart ass Joe.

This honestly is one of the biggest problems with Kamala. She’s not funny. She goes from an annoying, nasal “complaining voice” to a grating cackle. I may like her policies but would have to mute the TV for four years.

It did not go unnoticed that she snubbed Cardinal Dolan.


Cardinal Dolan snubs folks every day, so not worried there.

My very Catholic 80 father just made some anti-Dolan jokes the other day. Dolan is not a beloved figure. He is a caricature of the weak side of the Church, loving all the trappings and worldliness of being a powerful cardinal hobnobbing with the wealthy and powerful. Yuck. Give me the clergy who prefer the company of the poor, the homeless, the least among us. They are the ones doing God’s work.


If you resent leaders who are caught up in all the trappings who love hobnobbing with the rich and powerful, but don’t give two poops about the poor and least among us, then I assume you can’t stand Kamala, right?

Or any prominent national politician that is fed campaign dollars through the RNC and DNC. It's all a very rotten show and the poor regular Americans are just pawns in the game. But ya'll knuckleheads keep buying them Trump bibles and/or donating to the RNC or DNC. Surely, they'll start to look after the regular people one day....hahahaha

Kamala Harris and her campaign co-chair Gretchen Whitmer have established a pattern.

Thanks for listing off just about every cliched stereotype about women in power. I think you missed too emotional and not likable tho.

Well, Catholics have set themselves up as Trump lovers.

Harris gets my vote partly because she didn't go.

I'll take the kind, likable and most importantly COMPETENT Harris over the two elderly unfit jerks that have stank up The White House since 2017 any day!!

I’m not a Dolan fan, but he’s a good fit for New York. Nothing wrong with hobnobbing with the rich and powerful, especially if the result is a big fund to use for the many and varied ministries of the Church to the poor, the homeless, the least among us. And if Dolan is following the injunction not to let one hand know what the other is doing vis a vis personal charity nobody really knows what personal efforts he devotes to relieving people’s burdens.

Harris needs to worry about the 95+ % of the live audience and those seeing it on social media and articles who did not recognize a niche comedic character from 25 years ago. To those people, it was unfunny and deeply weird at best, and at worst, a bigoted mocking of Catholics.



No one under the age of say, 40, recognized that character.


No under 120 wants a continuation of mentally declining 80 year old people leading the most powerful country in the world either. I can put up with Harris' antics. She is competent. Biden being replaced by Trump would be like replacing your 1987 Pontiac Sunbird that does nothing but leak and sputter with a 1983 Ford Escort that blew it's head gasket when you drove it previously.


Harris, waltz and trump are all the same generation, boomers. The only younger one is Vance who is a millennial.


Harris is almost 20 years younger than Trump. There is a huge difference in mental fitness from a 59 year old to a 78 year old. Anyone who disagrees has had zero life experience around elderly people. We have current living proof of what it looks like when a person in their late 70s tries to complete a four year presidential term. It isn't pretty. Please, for the love of god, do not vote for another round of 80 year old POTUS. There is simply too much going on in the world to have another vegetable brain in The White House until 2029.

Oh please. She's a ditz. Probably blonde IRL.

"Ukraine is a country in Europe....."

Don't try to sell us on her mental qualifications. "Joy" and "stay woke" tells me all I need to know. She's another community organizer politicking in grievance politics. Life experience depth of a gnat. Just glad-handing all day.

She is a person I would give a coloring book to.

uh... at least Kamala didn't come from a wealthy family and wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Trump is courting billionaires to donate to his campaign. Do you really think he would hobnob with everyday Joe Schmoe? Why would he be any better?

If Harris is dumb blonde ditz, what does that make Trump? Dumb as a rock.

She passed the bar exam and was a DA and AG. Trump speaks at a 5th grade level; his grades were horrible, and his father had to bribe the college to accept Trump.

I'm not a huge Harris fan (I used to live in CA when she was the DA there), but Trump is next level dumb.

Don't go there.

The room full of dems where non-stop making jokes at Harris response. There is little to no respect there at all. Alarming. Alarming she didn't show up and more alarming the rooms reaction to it. It's pretty telling.

She was born to professors at elite universities. As rich as Trump, no, but still better off than most Americans.
