It looks like he was drawing from a lot of disaffected voters who didn' t want a Biden/Trump rematch.
The change to Harris seems to have made most of the Democratic side of that group go back to the Dems.
All the recent polls show him more consistently hurting Trump.

Since he and his running mate seem to understand the problems with the FPTP system, they are bowing out since their priority of preventing a Democratic presidency is threatened more by them staying in.

Wow, this interview is great.
She just lays it out there.

A crash in September or October would hit the Harris campaign very hard.
I am quite sure that is being worked on by Trump and Co, but who knows how effectively they can pull it off.
I'm sorry that's just conspiracy talk. There are natural reasons long stock market rallies die sudden deaths in the autumn. No one is controlling the stock market.

You might have heard about a global recession. U.S. industry is more exposed than ever to global economic activity.

That's not what you were guessing about.
You were guessing it was "because they don't make sense" as opposed to them being written to deal with emergencies and not as generalized attacks on industries.
I think this is where you get into quibbling mode and try to break posts down by challenging a sentence or even a phrase. Price gouging laws have been applied in unique circumstances and cases are indeed rare.

Since you brought up price gouging laws in 30 states I believe, I could have put the burden on you to list price gouging cases and how they had major impacts on price levels. They were isolated situations with very limited impact.

If you think Kamala's position on pricing is merely rhetoric, I would agree. It isn't going anywhere even if the Democrats control the Presidency and Congress

Oh, it is quite possible for things to go economically bad due to real global forces.
None of that contradicts Trump and his allies being willing to try and engineer an October surprise.
They have limited ability to do that, of course. They can make moves and they can hype the narrative when they do.

But it would be naïve to think they haven't considered it among their options.

I think this is where you get into quibbling mode and try to break posts down by challenging a sentence or even a phrase.
I think this is a case of misunderstanding where I thought what I was objecting to was clear and also where I may have been mistaken as to what you thought the important part of the statement was.

Price gouging laws have been applied in unique circumstances and cases are rare.
Agreed.
As they should be.

Do you have any reason to think that these are the kinds of laws Harris is talking about instead of the media-created fear of "price controls"?

Since you brought up price gouging laws in 30 states I believe, I could have put the burden on you to list price gouging cases and how they had major impacts on price levels. They were isolated situations.
Of course they are.
Price gouging is a fairly rare thing.

If you think Kamala's position on pricing is merely rhetoric, I would agree. It isn't going anywhere even if the Democrats control the Presidency and Congress.
I don't think her position is rhetoric any more than most Presidential comments on domestic law is rhetoric.
Federal price gouging bills already exist and if one gets passed, I am pretty sure Harris will sign it.

That the only way she could IMPOSE "price controls" would be through some kind of executive action is why I asked if I missed details, since she didn't appear to be suggesting any such thing yet despite that the press decided to go all in on "price controls". No one has provided any evidence that she is actually talking about price controls since then, though.

You think the last George Stephanopoulos interview he did served him well?
When was the last time Trump was interviewed by Stephanopoulos?

I'm talking about these podcasts he is going on.

Reread my posts...Trump's problem is that he has no fear of being interviewed by anyone. And that doesn't serve him well.

Maybe so. However, the fact that Kamala does absolutely no interviews with anyone, I don't think serves her very well either!!

Yes,
@BarackObama
had a persuasive, powerful speech last night. But in order to buy what the left's selling, you have to be completely oblivious to political reality. The Obamas act like they have a monopoly on decency, dignity, generosity and if you disagree with them, then you're evil. Democrats talk a big game, but if you look at what they actually do, their actions are dishonorable and dangerous.

That's not at all surprising so why rage? The majority of self made billionaires don't acquire that status until after the age of 30. Bill Gates was 31. Elon Musk was 41. Warren Buffett was 56.
Why rage?
It means the american dream is dead and the only way to get rich is to be born rich.
It means plutocracy instead of democracy.

Like the good Marxist you are, you want the American dream dead though right?

Fair enough.
He may be stupid enough to think he does good in all interviews.

His handlers have done a good job of keeping him away from any interviews that would challenge him overall, though.
These podcasts are good for him - no one is going to try and seriously question him and he gets to keep talking about he does interviews and Harris won't.
