She is going to lose |
No. She will win and it will be the best thing for this country. |
Yep and his buddy Guiliani took down the Italian mob to make room for the Russians. |
DP. Maybe this used to matter, but Trump has definitely shown us that Ivy League credentials don’t mean a whole lot for a presidential candidate or a presidency. He has them, Biden doesn’t, and Biden is a FAR better president. Would it be great if Harris went to Harvard Law School? Sure, I guess. But I went to an Ivy/T14 law school (not Harvard) and I can tell you firsthand that plenty of dumb people make it into these schools and, conversely, plenty of smart people attend lower ranked law schools for any number of reasons. If you’re not doing biglaw or pursuing an elite legal career (the presidency is not one, but the SC definitely is), it doesn’t really matter. So her law school isn’t really relevant to me. With respect to Amy Coney Barrett, I’d argue her credentials matter much more because her job is literally a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Even so, my problem is more with her jurisprudence and ideology than with her credentials. NDLS is a fine law school. So no, we are not hypocrites. |
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. ACB was not qualified not because she attended well respected Notre Dame. I didn’t like her because she only had 2.5 years as a judge; McConnell rushed her through during an election year in either a corrupt, hypocritical move; she was an Originalist in regards to the constitution; she worked on Gore v Bush and thus biased, and she portrayed the Handmaid’s Stepford Wife persona perfectly. I actually think we should have more judges who attend non-Ivy schools. Judges who attended UVA, UCLA, OSU, and UMD need to be reflected on our courts, including SCOTUS. Ivy doesn’t make you better. It simply reflects family money or connections. |
Reagan ran a failed campaign in 1976. What's your point? |
Biden has it too and everyone on this board was arguing that it didn't matter when he was running. Using the DEI hire insult really isn't where you want to go with this argument. |
Exactly. She is a partisan hack. |
ok, fair points. Respect ![]() Still, sheain't bright and rather than be a lawyer, decided to go into politics which is a whole differnt skill set. It's been reported by her staff who worked for her that she doesn't delve too deeply into any of the issues and is quite lazy. That's what I've seen also. |
No she won’t. Trump picked a terrible running that is actually making him less appealing rather than better or at least neutral. What does that prof with the long track record for picking the winner say? He has like 6-10 markers he evaluates. I will not vote for Harris unless she takes a hard stance on immigration and asylum. I am not opposed to either but I am opposed to letting people in unchecked and basically paying people to come here (hello, NYC!) when we already have people with needs here. I know the situation is complicated. I will not vote for Trump either. Harris does not need my vote. If she loses it will be due to unfettered immigration and ultra liberal asylum policies that make them a joke (eg, people not taking asylum in first country). |
Someone who inherited more than $400 million in 1999 and is only worth (probably a lot less than) $5 billion now is absolutely a failure, yes. |
She is. Just because you need more. There is plenty of confidence. Maybe you should volunteer for her campaign so that you speak with real American's who will tell you what they think. Like the Republican I spoke with yesterday who said, "She's strong. I know she will stubble at some point but she has been flawless so far." I'm not sure what else you want, but I also think you are most likely troll. |
This actually made me laugh. What is your net worth? |
