[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes anyone think Kamala is going to an amazing job in a debate vs Trump? I’m no Trump lover, but let’s get real here. If she has a Biden type debate then it could be game over for the Dems.[/quote]

Call her stupid all you want. She’s not. She’s a former prosecutor who has run a campaign with amazing message discipline— and discipline, period.  It’s going to be an amazing contrast to Trumps rambling and erratic behavior.

Plus, she’s younger than Trump and much more attractive. I think the visual of youth v age and Trump rambling and her shrugging, saying she can’t respond because he’s incoherent and weird and looking younger and better is a JFK v Nixon moment.

She does not need to be policy heavy to win because Trump’s main policies are grievances and retribution. Her upbeat campaign will do well against that.

Plus, Trump is on his heels. He has yet to find a good response to her. None of his insults are sticking. He can’t even land a good nickname.

Maybe I’m wrong. But, I think Trump looks like Biden did in his first debate when he goes against her. Definitely think more people than normal will tune is. [/quote]

What is her message though? Other than criticizing Trump and throwing out some grand ideas she can never accomplish, what’s her platform?[/quote]

1.  Not Trump
2. No insurrections
3. Pro-choice. 
4. Pro-NATO
5. Pro-Israel, but has separated herself from Biden on Gaza 
6. Child Tax Credit

Etc.  You realize she has a website with her policies, yes. Google is your friend.

That is, BTW is much more coherent  than Trump, who has no policy positions.  [/quote]

What is her pro choice policy proposal?[/quote]

I'm sure it's similar to this, which would codify Roe as Federal law: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/701

[/quote]

In fact, her campaign has publicly stated that this is her position.   Restore Roe via law.

So, no third trimester abortions.  That means that in some states that now have no restrictions women will have less reproductive freedom under Harris than they would under Trump. [/quote]

Third trimester abortion is post viability and has always been available in some states in rare case where the mother’s life/health is at stake. By third trimester, you’ve had your screening ultrasound and have known for a few weeks if the fetus has an abnormality or condition incompatible with life.  Actually needing a third trimester abortion vs premature delivery is very rare.

I’m pretty liberal and am against unlimited/ post viability abortions. So are most Americans. I don’t think any states allow unlimited 3rd trimester abortions. There are apparently only a single digit number of doctors in the US who will perform them. And again, the criteria for them is strict even where legal.  Usually if something goes wrong in the third trimester, you deliver a premie and pray.

Are you saying the guy who brags about overturning Roe v Wade now supports unlimited third trimester abortions?  Because I don’t support that. At all.  And the national bill would allow the states where third trimester abortion for futile pregnancies to continue. Remember, federal rights are a floor. Not a ceiling.

In short— a terrible talking point, as out of step with American opinion as zero abortions, and not actually a gotcha.

What about post birth abortion (ie murdering a human that has been born, which is obviously illegal everywhere). Does Trump support that too?  [/quote]
