Just because she's better than Trump does not mean she's good. It just means she's not trash! She gets a D instead of F. Not sure it's really worth enthusiasm to cheer her as much as it's just a sigh of relief.

I mean if you objectively look at her political record, campaign victories and really peel back the layers to analyze her political acumen and strengths all she's got going for her is that Biden chose her as a DEI female candidate who could help him win his election.

For the record, I'm a female DEI business owner so please don't say it's because she's a DEI female candidate causing me to not be her fan. She's got really low energy and lower ability to communicate effectively.[i]

Well, there's two major party candidates on the ticket - she clearly has more energy than Trump - that's not even up for debate - as well as a higher ability to communicate effectively. Did his teleprompter read "something something Arnold Palmer something huge?"

I hate to be the one to put this out there, but - I think she's thrown in the towel. How else to read this?

OP, your enthusiasm is appreciated, but if the candidate doesn't have it, how can we?

This week:
Vice President Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday wrapped up a series of moderated conversations in Wisconsin, where they continued to make the case that Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.

On Tuesday, she will record an interview with NBC’s Hallie Jackson at 3:40 p.m. ET in Washington, D.C. At 4:30 p.m., the Democratic nominee will tape an interview with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro.

Harris will travel to Pennsylvania on Wednesday and participate in a CNN Town Hall event in Chester Township, just outside of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

On Thursday, the vice president will be in Georgia for a campaign rally, joined by former President Barack Obama

Harris is expected to visit Texas on Friday to attend a campaign event in Houston focusing on abortion rights and rally with Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas plus recording Berne Brown’s podcast.

How is she a lousy politician? She has more elections under her belt than either Trump or Vance. She has more experience in public officiant than Trump and Vance combined. What is lousy? Economists, save the Navarros of the world (when they're not in jail and barred from their electronics), believe his economic agenda could trigger a worldwide recession.

She dropped out early in 2020 primary. She underperformed other Democrats when she ran for AG, winning by .8%.

Yes she still won.

I’ve been impressed by her connection with real Americans and her sharp mind. Thrilled to think of her as Madam President.

She didn’t win, what are you talking about?!

Hint: hit “click to show earlier quotes” and you’ll see what we’re talking about. Yes, she did win her first election for AG, in the actual red wave year of 2010, with an immensely popular Republican governor, against the much more experienced and popular Republican DA of Los Angeles County, in a race Karl Rove poured national money into because he though she was a star and wanted to nip her career in the bud. Yes it was close but that was a surprise win and she came from behind to do it.

Do you realize that Joe Biden started running for president in 1988?

She may have underperformed, but she still won and keeps winning.

+1 Trump started running for President in 2000 with the Reform Party.

Ok, so that’s like one event per travel day, with the exception of the last day, where she does 2 events.

That’s not nearly enough. He’s doing 2-3 travel events a day, with interviews in between.


She’s acting like she’s not really interested in winning. I don’t understand it, or her motivation here.

It’s worrisome.

She needs a lot of time to prep for interviews.

PP again. I get that, but why do interviews at all? I did just read that she declined Joe Rogan, so I think that's a good move.

She's clearly better at group events and rallies. I don't understand why she's not barnstorming the swing states like Trump is. She could easily do a couple of rallies each day in each swing state and that would do a lot to energize her campaign.

I seriously don't understand this decision.

In retrospect it was probably a lot to expect of her to go from three years of low activity VP idleness to suddenly being thrust in the starring role and constantly campaigning. Three months in, she looks exhausted. And she’s looking at early voting numbers that look mostly bad.

PP here. I agree with this. She does look exhausted. Hopefully she is getting some rest for the final week!

The trolls are very active today.

Next time, you should have a real candidate, and not one who led a failed coup, has multiple felonies, divided the country in his Covid response (and everything else), and goes on senile, hateful rants.

OP, IF Harris wins, it's going to be by a whisker, and it's not going to be the repudiation of MAGA that is required to put that genie in the bottle. That is if she wins. At the moment, it's 50-50, which is ridiculous, considering who Trump is.

I would not trust "the voters" to do this, in general. I'm OK with how Harris was chosen as the Democratis nominee. But then again, I'm OK with candidates being chosen at the conventions, not by popular vote.

His audience is voting for Trump and also the most unreliable voting block in the U.S. I don’t think she should waste time on Rogan. Smarter to go after GOP women… they reliably vote!

Indeed. I am going to reliably go vote. I am going to go write in Nikki Hailey.

If the Ds had been willing to have a primary and pick someone else, they might be getting my vote.

For those of us who tried to ensure this happened and failed, please tell us what we can do next time to hamstring the crazies in our own party?

If voters unaffiliated with either party can vote in primaries, then it becomes a popularity contest, not a vote for comptence.

She doesn't need the ego salve Trump gets from the smiling sycophants at his mindless, contentless rallies

In states where party registration wasn't required, the GOP primaries were closer/more sane than in states where it was.
