What happens to Kamala’s momentum now the DNC is over?

Kamala can’t give stump speeches and has to be incredibly definitive on every single policy and Trump does not have to be? Nobody asks him to outline in coherent sentences his policies. If people can’t look on the websites but rather demand a verbal explanation in interviews or in speeches from Kamala then they should have that same exacting standard for Trump and pin him down to actually answer in a damn understandable and coherent way.

+1000 all media loves Trump. Even the mainstream media he declared fake news. He would be nothing without them.

This is a guess on my part.

Harris and Walz are campaigning together in Georgia starting tomorrow. CNN is headquartered in Atlanta, so it makes sense that the interview is with CNN while they’re in Georgia.

Walz still does not have much name recognition. I can’t remember the numbers exactly, but something like 40% of Americans don’t know anything about him. Given that he has high approvals among the people that know him, it makes sense then to try and introduce him to a wider audience. A joint interview will serve that purpose very well. People that won’t tune in just for him (apparently Vance has done a bunch of interviews; did anyone care?) will more likely tune in because Harris is also there. It will also give the audience the opportunity to see how they work together.

I would love to see a Trump-Vance joint interview.

They already had one back in July.

I should’ve specified that I’d love to see one now that the dynamics of the race has changed, and it’s obvious that Vance is a liability.

LOL.
Vance is hardly a liability. That is laughable.
Wait until the debate between Vance and Walz then tell us who the liability is........

His net favorability is under water by 10 points, and continuing to trend downwards. His weird fixation on childless women is going to turn a lot of people off. And he’s a charisma black hole. Man does not even know how to order donuts, and make small talk.

Walz is affable and relatable. He will do just fine in the VP debate (not that it ever moves the needle). I think the contrast in persona will serve the Democrats well.

Does Kamala have a thing for older white guys who can’t seem to tell the truth?
I mean Joe was confused and just made things up. Husband with his first marriage and the nanny.

Since you mention Waltz above as affable and relatable. How many things have come out since his announcement that are made up, false, exaggerated and ego feeding? I am at 4 and counting. Easy to be relatable when you just make up what people want to hear!

She said before the end of the month.

I know you are trying to make this a thing.

Just so you, I am not worried. She is a candidate that keeps her word and pays attention to details so she would not have made this commitment without planning to meet it.

I realize this is confusing to Trump supporters as he was always promising some sort of plan (e.g. healthcare, infrastructure) in two weeks and that two weeks never came.

Harris will keep her word and she will show up at the debate prepared and she will share more policy details.

The thing is, the vast majority of people calling for these details do not care, they support a candidate that provides no details, flips wherever and whenever is serves his interest.

You are not looking for solutions to the country’s issues, you are looking for sound bites that misconstrue the policies.

She has said what she intends to do and that she is pragmatic and will govern with common sense.

Everything else is MAGA flailing for a sound bite.

Exactly.

+1. She’s obviously smarter, more articulate and more capable of governing than Trump has ever beebn, nor will ever be. Sounding confident is not the same as competence.
There are strategic reasons for including Walz in interviews that have nothing to do with lack of competence to govern with respect to Harris.

She failed the bar exam.

And then she passed, and then had a career.

Trump failed at everything except inheriting $400M from his father and keeping some of the money he stole from business projects.

Good God. You cannot possibly make this statement in any seriousness if you know anything about his business.

Do tell! How does an amazing businessman declare 6 Chapter 11s?

I’m all ears too. How does an amazing businessman lose money running a casino?

The man is worth 4.3 billion dollars. Declaring bankruptcy is all part of the game.
So tell me - where is he failing?

If Trump had taken the money his father gave him and just put it into an index fund, he’d have considerably more.

P.S. His net worth is speculation. No one knows how much he’s actually worth.

Oooh this one says 7.5 billion.

What a loser!

All you’re doing is lowering the bar for her to defy expectations at the debate. Especially compared to the elderly dotard.

The bar can’t go any lower. And she still won’t clear it at the debate.
You know what the best predictor of future behavior is? Past behavior.

Kamala's economic plan is taking shape, starting with *5 trillion dollars* in new taxes.

These include a 39.6% top rate on small business, the highest-ever capital gains tax, and taking the corporate rate from one of the best in the world to one of the worst -- higher than China, Canada, and even Europe.

But the very dumbest is taxing "unrealized capital gains" -- money you didn't actually make.

Politics aside, can someone explain this to me? What happens if those gains later turn into losses? Do you get your money back?

I’m not a numbers person, so explain it to me like I’m 5. Please.

Good question, and I can guarantee you Kamala doesn't know the answer. Trump should ask her this in the debate

Exactly.

The fact that she has given you nothing but feels and you're running with this whole narrative of "she is pragmatic and will govern with common sense" means you either are her campaign worker or as simple as you make Trump voters out to be. What specific initiative has she delivered on while VP that supports your claim of how she will govern and keep her promises?

Who cares? She'll be the first black female president and she's not Trump. Isn't that really all that matters?

Keep calling her an idiot….women have experienced this in work environment forever.

Belittled, man ‘splained, gaslighting, idea grabbing - women know this all well. We have learned that complaining doesn’t work - working harder and smarter works. Showing who you are and not being defined by colleagues - wins in the work place.

So keep call her names and whispering she’s not up for it. When she has an entire career of wining local, state, and national elections. What track record do you have on the GOP ticket?

Let’s take our future and our daughters’ future into our own hands (looking at you girl dads). And as Gov Whitmer says women get “stuff” done.

GOTV!
Let’s get this done!

The Dems have a momentum that we haven't felt since Obama. The base is ready.

Kamala addressed the nation, not just the base, in her speech. Independents are polling for her, not for Trump.

No one is passionate about RFK. He was the "none of the above" candidate and has been tanking.

We're good.

RFK was polling quite well in a number of swing states, and the margins there are razor thin. I do think it matters.

I don’t think Kamala and Walz can survive forever on the good vibes machine. Obama had good vibes and policy and he was fighting the establishment (GW Bush). Kamala has nothing more than the vibes, and that’s not enough.

It does matter, but let's be honest, the people supporting RFK wanted an option that wasn't Trump. They still won't want Trump

But they will vote for him over Harris

not if he is on the ballot in swing states which he is. he withdrew too late.

What specific initiative did Pence deliver while VP?

VP roles are largely behind the scenes, and for the most part, just being prepared to step in if the president is incapacitated.

Do you have a source for all this? I have read about the unrealized capital gains tax on folks with net worth/income in excess of $100 million, but not the rest.

Fair enough. Bit I still keep wondering why white women didn't go for Hilary in 2016. So why is Kamala going to do better with this all-important demographic?
