Yes...Unfortunately for him this will hurt him significantly. He's not nimble enough to walk through the minefields that he steers himself into.
Get ready Kamala fans...this is just the beginning

Correct...From what I can see she's very much akin to Mr. Trudeau...Fine on script but awkward and lost off script.
MSM is her training wheels however.
He should tighten it up some. However, the liberal media will always look for some word or phrase to blow up out of context. Most Americans who will consider voting him are used to his verbosity.
Remember the "bloodbath" if you elect Biden. The liberal media tried but didn't make much of a dent. Of course, Trump was addressing Chinese EVs swamping the U.S. auto market.
It's the usual doom/gloom tactic...like telling people to prepare for a hurricane.Did Michelle Obama just say Democrats need to make sure every voter is registered and has a voting plan?
WTF does she mean by make sure they have a voting plan?
Sadly, the only strategy the Dems have is hoping they can smear Trump enough. No substance they can offer as far as a platform, policies, etc.
And here's why...
If they stick with Biden's trajectory as far as policies, people have seen it fall apart over the last 4 years and don't want another 4 years of of that.
If they come up with new policies, people will say WTF? You stage a coup and shove aside Biden and now want to reverse what they were trying to get people to support a month ago?
So this is why the only thing they have left is to have Kamala preach about feel good sentiments to hide the fact they have no platform.
ie why put forward a sketchy platform when you can use photo ops at record stores to show you like black artists?
I actually think Kamala has gotten bolder with her policy pronouncements. I just don't agree with her Government First approach to solving problems like inflation and housing.
Whoa there’s so much more to it than that. He was in that project together with a Russian/ukrainian oligarch. There were lawsuits associated with it. I’ll find a link in a moment. But basically another fraud which was just on the line and not prosecutable, so just a “smart business”.

Talon Class Action
This website has been established to provide general information related to the proposed settlement of the case referred to as Talon Class Action.
These are polls sponsored and financed by the various media. Rarely do we hear about internal polls from the campaigns itself.
For sure the campaigns pay close attention to the polls, and accordingly structure their various platforms that are designed to attract certain crucial sections of the population.
Strangely, Newsweek seems to be running overly-dramatic and conflicting headlines on polls every day. I don't think there is much real journalism being done there, but people still remember the name.
Kamala Harris suffers triple polling blow before DNC starts
Kamala Harris came behind Donald Trump in one national survey and two Pennsylvania polls released over the past few days.www.newsweek.com
A little grounding for both sides. Still tied.
We will see.
I doubt either of us is representative of the general public.
Americans (people in general, really) have shown very little understanding of what controls prices.
Yes, they immediately framed it as "price controls".
Cracks in the wall of media praise for Harris? Multiple outlets eviscerate VP over price control plan
Mulitple liberal outlets shredded Vice President Kamala Harris' price control policy proposal after she unveiled it on the campaign trail this week.www.foxnews.com
Her team probably should have anticipated that and been more prepared.
"Likely".
So you don't know, you're just guessing.
Projection? Nope, fact.
There have been several studies that show Fox News viewers are significantly less informed than those who get other sources of information. In 2008, there was a study that showed something like 80% of them believed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, something we know was never found and untrue. But, things with Fox have gotten measurably worse since then, so much so that a crazy number of their viewers still believe the 2020 election was stolen, even though there are no credible facts showing this.
I would love to see a credible study showing how lefties are that ill-informed or gullible.
RFK Junior is all over the place. I don't necessarily know if his supporters will support Trump endorsement or no endorsement.
His supporters down here that I know seem to be either conspiracists or protest voters. It's possible many of them don't vote at all or vote for another third party candidate.
Not pushing.
Stating.
It makes sense when you look at what they actually do.
This
This is completely wrong.
Oh, reporters tend to be more pro-Democrat.
The media is pro-Republican.
Here's a simple a way of explaining it.

Like I said, I expect it to be tight.
I do think there will be a bit more of a DNC bounce, but like most bounces, it will regress back.
Given the debate is the 10th, the DNC bounce should have faded by then, so if anything the storyline will be about Trump gaining momentum going into the debate.
They are.
But the media favors the GOP.
You've never let what you see and hear change what you believe about what you are seeing and hearing.
I am not expecting any different now.
Not anymore.
I did in the past.
You were under the impression the American media gushed over Obama?
I think that sort of proves my point...You would want to fire the one person who pushes back against the right-wing/GOP fever swamp play book. Someone who brings in facts that fuck up the other hosts feelings. Tarlov, it should be pointed out, is not a sycophant like all the other fox hosts. She ain't kissing Biden's or Harris' ass in the hopes she can parlay that into her own show or a place in the administration. She is frequently the only reasonable voice on the opinion side of things.
I don't believe bullshit like this, even when its people saying the Trump campaign is paying people to attend his rallies. We should all be skeptical of this type of unattributed crap from some rando on the internet.
It doesn't really matter what the American voter in the middle thinks of price controls, price gouging whatever. Fair or unfair, these voters have a tendency to blame whoever is in the White House for inflation, unemployment, etc. We all saw employment numbers were revised down for April 2023-March 2024.
The economy is okay, but the direction is pointing to a weaker scenario. I suspect weaker data now until the election. It will be interesting to see if Kamala can separate herself from the Biden Administration.
Nope, I wasn't exactly guessing. I did a couple searches. Some one-off govt. lawsuits for gas stations price gouging during a hurricanes and EpiPen. Nothing directed at an entire industry or category.
I'm all for evaluating overconsolidation in certain industries. When prices across all categories are significantly higher and were stable for many years before the printing press was turned loose, I don't think consolidation is the problem. What the U.S. has had is called systemic inflation.
