Harris to hold first rally with running mate Tuesday in Philadelphia

 

[ceecee]

For the record, I am not suggesting they change now that everybody has rallied around the Harris flag. I just wish they had paused for a few weeks to consider alternatives and possibly have an open convention. I think they could have really got Trump behind the eight ball with a centrist who would appeal to swing voters. I'm uncertain Harris has that appeal. She may be able to move to the center and we'll see if the public buy it. Trump fear may also yet carry the day for her.

In any event, it's Harris now, so the Dems will sink or swim with her at the top of the ticket.

lol They did pause for a few weeks to consider alternatives and discussed it. You weren't invited to that conversation. I also don't understand people angry that Obama didn't share his involvement with them. I wouldn't give the GOP or MSM that kind of advantages.

I wouldn't discount JD Vance. Every time that freak opens his mouth is very obvious that he 1) has very little political experience. and 2) he can't seem to stop saying the very worst right wing culture war idiocy and normal voters just don't want to hear it. I would put those two things above even Trump fear at this point and after this, regular voters who had no idea what a Catholic natalist is - will know exactly what that is.

I don't hate the guy liner though. However given what the eyes are windows to, I'm not really sure what the strategy of trying to draw attention to them is for him... That house is hainted.

As one commentator said:

We have to be honest with ourselves, Trump is almost 80. What means that voting for Trump is quite likely to lead to president Vance in years down the road.

What is basically the argument that could really make a difference with undecided voters.

I would have liked to have been in that room in 2020. That would have been interesting.

lol I think he should do much more makeup but, given Trump's hatred of facial hair (since I'm pretty sure he can't grow any) I wonder what the over under is on him forcing JD to shave and show everyone that rather effeminate chin.

Trump’s first try at pivoting to Harris blows up in his face

The former president suggested Harris only recently “became” Black.

Maybe you guys are right, maybe in US there really is a link between stupid and having plenty of money.

Lots of people here think being really rich means you're really smart. There are also those who conflate being smart with being an entrepreneur.

Actually this is something that people think all over the world. Since it is kinda logical at face value.

Also I would dare to say that in US you don't have that many paths if you are of high intelligence (unless if you want to waste that talent). The system is very market based and thus going in entrepreneur direction makes sense for most.

I'm probably pretty dumb because I decided to do anything but that. (And a few other things which I winded up doing anyway.) I tried being "my own boss" for a little bit last year and I hated it.

Anyway, I'm annoyed when people act as though someone like Steve Jobs "invented" Apple computers.

I mean here we are coming into the zone of "multiple versions of intelligence". Since everyone has it's mental strengths and weaknesses.

True, "Jobs" is more of a brand and salesmanship than anything else.

I know what I said about posting polls but this one is truly a turning point.
Harris takes the lead in the national polling average on 270 to win. It is clearly visible that the top of the column is blue and bottom is red.

Now that one is interesting to me, if for no other reason than you usually dont see this much blue at this time. Guess a lot of the old timers got their dander up at the whole project 2025 thing.

The equation is probably pretty simple. Harris can bring out many people who were just "meh" when it come to Biden.

In other words even she can technically be a grandma to the youngest voters, what clearly shows how much Biden was just too old (he can be her dad when it comes to years). Also the dude was alive when Hitler and Stalin were rocking the world through WW2. While 3 Biden's lifetimes in a row would be about as old as USA. I really don't hate the guy and I even owe him for some things. But we have to be objective here: he simply got too old for this.


Which is basically why Trump will probably lose. Since he is now older than Biden was in 2020. In other words it is 2024 and that means that everyone bellow 42 is either a Gen Y or Gen Z. Therefore if you manage to grab into that pool you will win. As they say "Demographics is just another word for destiny".
