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

[Anonymous]

Let’s face it, none of the candidates this year are on an intellectual level with say Clinton or Obama. Vance probably has the best academic credentials of the lot. Which is why there are multiple jokes about coach surfing, donuts, etc. It’s called deflection.

The man is bright so of course some will seek to discredit him.

By doing so she would reach a wider range of audience especially the younger demographic. Trump recently did interviews with Dr. Phil, Theo
Von and Shawn Ryan. Instead the only interview she will be doing as of now is one pre taped edited interview with CNN. This makes her look weak and not confident in herself or whatever her proposed policies may be for the country.

Her handlers fear what she may say and do in a live, unscripted solo interview.
Not worth the risk. And, that in itself speaks volumes.

5 pages this morning with MAGA throwing out any 💩 trying to make it stick to Harris. And, that in itself speaks volumes.

DP - People can think it's a weak move and not be MAGA. This is Harris' time to instill us with confidence in her ability to lead.

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.

Definitely a troll.

Prepare for tons of hand waving and pretzel twisting

Or (and I know this might seem crazy to you but hear me out), primaries are not a requirement under the law, there was no time to institute new ones after Biden dropped out, and holding an open convention would have been sheer chaos and handed the White House over to Trump in November.

Assuming the posters whining about this are actually disaffected Democrats and not just right wing trolls, what exactly did you think you were voting for when you voted for the Biden-Harris ticket in your state's primary? Idiots.

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

You just pulled this number out of the crack of your butt. BS.

DP - The New York Times is reporting that number--$5 trillion over 10 years: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/22/us/politics/kamala-harris-tax-plan.html

Now tell us what the deficit will be if Trump is elected.

I didn't see that in the NYT but encourage you to share a reputable linked source if you have one. I'd sincerely be interested in the figure, as would others.

Now we get a pre-taped joint CNN interview with happy-stupid sitcom dad and serial liar Tim Walz.

Enjoy the crumbs, peasants

And JD Vance has reversed his positions on his running mate. Before becoming the VP candidate:
- said he was a never Trumper and he never liked him
- called him an idiot and America's Hi+ler and "a cynical a$$hole like Nixon"
- said and agreed with "The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs."
- said "Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation's highest office"
- said "...there's a chance, if I feel like Trump has a really good chance of winning, that I might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton."
- said "I can't stomach Trump."

It's a shame. He was right before until he let his blind ambition change his mind and he could suddenly stomach a Hi+ler and authoritarian fascist who was unfit for our nation's highest office, just for personal gain.

The Republicans have completely forgone any illusion that integrity matters to them with their ticket.

hmm ... so which plans does she have? The one about banning price gauging, and the one about 25,000 for home ownership is all I've heard. Well yeah, probably her plans (such as they are) will cost less than Trump's

Babylon Bee is the most unfunny “comedy” ever. Conservatives don’t have a sense of humor and it shows.

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!

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?

Clinton came in with so much political baggage from the previous two decades of public life. Her baggage overwhelmed the concept of voting for the first woman President. She was a horribly flawed candidate to begin with.

Then her campaign manager was not very good and allowed themselves to be blindsided by the Trump tactic of rousing the rural communities of purple states to swing them. Trump needed all of that to win by 77K votes out of over 300M votes.

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.

Trump, however, lost the last time he ran for President. It is very rare that a party is willing to renominate the person who cost them the last presidential election.

Big mistake here.

You used "Republicans" and "integrity" in the same sentence.

It’s not just rare, it’s unprecedented that a party would nominate a person who did not participate in a primary.

The Republican party wanted nothing LESS than to nominate Trump. However, their voters voted for him so what they were willing to do was of no consequence. See how that works?
