My point is that no one - aside from a handful of GOP-supporting political buffs - really cares that the way Harris got nommed was irregular. Shit happens and it happened in the Dem party this year. Once in a lifetime, maybe. But that's how shit rolls.

So maybe it's more useful to focus on the issues of the campaign than to continually suggest that Biden was coup d'etat-ed and Harris is somehow an improper choice for the nom.
How the Biden manipulation and the Kamala switch went down will be discussed by the Trump campaign. Nothing is going to change that. Win or lose, the Kamala campaign is not organic nor will it likely be perfectly executed. Obama was the last perfectly executed campaign. You just have to accept criticism of her campaign especially when it is a matter of fact.

I've admitted here the Democrats have done an excellent job of launching Kamala Harris' campaign. I however said the Democrats blew through several warning signs over the last seven months to get to this point. Seriously, someone close to Biden saved the Democrats in 2024 by scheduling that debate in June and not later.

I've got a question for you btw. Given Trump's very sparse campaign schedule and the wet splat that JDV has made, will Trump stay the course, or will he either pull out altogether or will he fight a half-hearted campaign and claim it was unwinnable when he loses in October?
It's far too early. Trump is not executing a great strategy. He should just shut up until after the Democratic convention. Harris is riding a Biden relief wave.

As far as JDV, neither party really selected VPs that speak to the center. They are marginally regional sons of the old Blue Wall. And sure, I think Trump should have selected Rubio or Scott. He's probably kicking himself for listening to Don Jr.

It's going far better than expected.

Yup.

But here's the problem. If you build your party and campaign around a celebrity candidate "being himself", the entire strategy is "Trump doing Trump".

He's got no real policy positions except vague horseshit about "Make America Great Again" and random insults about people he doesn't like. And it works with many people. I have a nephew-in-law whose downstate IL retired cop dad and mom LOVE Trump and wear Trump merch.

But the problem is that stuff is vulnerable to "the next big thing" and the next big thing is the "feisty Afro American woman attorney" who's a "fighter" and her lovable "America's grandpa" running mate. So Trump's appeal erodes with the less committed.

Plus the fact that he's as senile as Joe B was and he probably can't physically get out and do the campaigning any more.

Nah. She's riding a Trump relief wave. Mr and Ms Centre Politics American have someone likeable and apparently competent to defeat the crazy old guy who rants about stolen elections. So they're all in on it.
As far as JDV, neither party really selected VPs that speak to the center. They are marginally regional sons of the old Blue Wall. And sure, I think Trump should have selected Rubio or Scott. He's probably kicking himself for listening to Don Jr.
So you got a dickhead who's not only anti abortion, but also anti divorce - which must creep out most of the women voters in America - on one hand. And on the other, a guy who's so "commie" he stood up for free school meals for kids and free feminine products at school to stop teenage sweeties from getting embarrassed about their periods.

Who are people going to vote for?

@JDVance
has been persistently asking Kamala to take questions from the press. After Vance walked over to Kamala's plane, a CNN panelist called it "stalking" and went on a bizarre rant about "women's rights... not having people control our bodies." She said Vance was "stepping into her territory... the physicality of it is supposed to send a message." WHAT?
He went over to her plane because she was away doing a rally and then he pretended that she was avoiding him.

And when she and her entourage approached, he ran away. But he got his fake bullshit headline photo ops done by her plane.

Some things are just symbolic. He seemed to make his point.

Yes, but Kamala never answers any questions from the press. Maybe Kamala is trying to run a literal "basement" campaign, like Joe did in 2020??
She did today just before boarding her plane. Trump is in trouble Mitchy, big trouble.

Here's the thing because you and another member today said he has no real policies. His detractors seem to bounce from he has no real policies to OMG Project 25 is going to take us back decades. I don't think they both can be true at the same time. Keenly listening to partisan rhetoric is a fun exercise in mental acuity.

If you said the Biden Administration has lots of policies. I would totally agree with you. They have lots and lots of policies. They have policies about things that even politically active people have never contemplated. Many here might see this in your own Trudeau Administration. They have a policy for every ill and every perceived ill affecting Canadians.

Now, we can't really have a reasonable discussion about a statement that Trump has no policies. It routinely devolves from mentioning his policies followed by non sequiturs criticizing the very policies that one initially claimed don't exist.

PRESIDENT TRUMP on KAMALA: The fact that you can get no votes, lose in the primary system, and you can then be picked to run for president seems to be unconstitutional.
That's going to be tampons don excuse when he loses again - rigged election because kamala shouldn't have been allowed to run. This guy is digging hinself in a hole to chiner. His attacks at kamala are not only insulting to minorities but all women.

I don't think he gives a shit about Project 25. If he is elected, he will probably go along with P 25 because many of his allies foster that imbecile, wacko pile of shit. But he DGAF. His policy is that he's amazing and he deserves to win.

Not really, Earp. But you do you.

Have it your own way, Earp. If you need to end our dialogue on your own little bang, go ahead.

Why, they have never had to pay almost $1B for lying to their audience.

Not for $1 billion, but they have been sued before for making false news reports
