JD VANCE follows up after his masters voice above:

Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way. Over the last four years she co-signed Biden's open border and green scam policies that drove up the cost of housing and groceries. She owns all of these failures, and she lied for nearly four years about Biden's mental capacity--saddling the nation with a president who can't do the job.

President Trump and I are ready to save America, whoever's at the top of the Democrat ticket. Bring it on.

OK so we can see where their focus will be- calling Harris JB2- only minor edits to their scripts already written months ago

Harris's best mode would be attack-dog; go for Trump's electoral neck all the time. It's how he plays the game. All Harris has to do is make sure the wording of her statements ally perfectly with whatever Trump statement or act she is responding to, goad him into using his own media site "Truth Social" to make them. Make the undeniable link between his and his ownership of the site he used for his statements plain in her responses, give him no plausible "I read it/heard it/they said it" deniability.

It could/should increase her chances of getting the nomination [should Joe step aside from his candidacy re-election bid]. Winning over the women's vote should be "I am here for you" her focus. To use a simile, The Dems need to make Trump release the inner "Mr Hyde" in him, not unlike the "release the Kraken" used by one of Trumps own electoral past.

The Dem publicity machine must tear apart Trump's latest call to the electorate "I took a bullet for [you] democracy", show it to be the fake news it is.

I'm watching the TV news "Sky News" headlines now of "Joe endorses Kamala" for the presidency. I had seen the references from mun1 in the posts above, just wasn't up to date on the changing political situation at Dem Party and US nationwide levels.

We’ve seen in the past that “sound bites” helped win elections.

“Lock her up!” …was a massively damaging chant against Hilary - very clever but when you’re dealing with such low common denominator type politics, you’ve got to have an equally clever response plan.
What that response plan is though, is difficult to determine - but I feel you need to be speaking to your own people and resonate with them first- you engage Trump at his own game, you’ll lose- that to me is very clear and that is what he wants- drag the Democratic candidate down to the low level where he totally commands that space.

”I took a bullet for you all” - you can’t beat that statement - it’s election gold- stick to your own camp and gather them tighter together is my advice to the Democrats

Trump's game is throwing wild verbal haymakers and anyone who has played that game with him has lost. I get what you're saying, but just to underline that Harris's attacks must be stinging and incisive breakdowns of the kind of odious policies Trump and his people want to enact. Hit hard, but do not trade blows below the belt.

I should also repeat that Harris is not yet the nominee, but this is what she must do in that event.

LOL… I'd like to see him try his "stalking walk" behind Harris if she is the new nominee and was his opponent at the next debate…

looksee

After slagging Biden for wandering there would be loads of scope for asking him why he was wandering round the stage, was he lost or just trying to escape?

aloyisious

Yes to "No Below The Belt" hits. Trump's jugular is his attachment to making comments to his fanbase and anyone who listens or reads about others who have offended him. His jugular is publicity and that's why Harris should apply her attacks on him there, linking them to what he has specifically stated publicly on his media site. Use his methods against him.

I'd also advise the Dems to increase whatever moves they have been making to find Republicans in Washington politics amenable to setting up backdoor links to foster alliances without Trump's awareness. Trump has been doing his best to cause splits within the Dems over Biden. It's only right and fair for the same to be done to Trump, and there are more than a few Republicans whom Trump has offended against and given them cause to take the offences very personally within GOP internal politics.

Would that have been during Trump's Registered Democrat Member period?

Augme

Life expectancy in USA is 76. Trump is 78. He'll be doing very well to make it another four years.

aloyisious

I suppose there will be one way of figuring out Biden stepping aside for his V/P to accept the task of running for election to the job later this year will affect the US political scene and that is how the major fund-providers to the election PACs react over the next 7 or so days to the news.

If there were to be reversals in some of the promised donations and a stepping forward by other wealthy uncommitted persons to fund a new nominee with whom they could find common ground on matters unrelated to business, but acutely important to the social well-being of the average US citizens, that information could be very important in electoral terms.

I wouldnt bet on it. He should be dead already given his lifestyle but this fcuker was born with a silver spoon, never worked a day, conned his way through life, avoided enough sentences that would jail an ordinary joe for 100yrs, dodged a bullet by millimeters and sheer luck and made it to the most powerful position on earth despite being one of the biggest POS to crawl this earth. So no, making another 4yrs is not unlikely. He'll probably die in his sleep at 105 in a bed clad in Russian flags and swaztikas and the storey of his paedophilia will break the next day.

briany

Is it fair to say, now, that Trump has beaten the feds? The three most serious cases against him appear to be dead in the water - the Mar a Lago documents case has been dismissed. The Georgia case is indefinitely on hold. The federal election subversion case is mired in the question of presidential immunity.

I suppose you don't really need good lawyers, even, when the judges go so easy on you.

I'm sure it's a bit higher than that for people from Trump's social class. Nondrinker, nonsmoker, I'd say he has a very good chance of finishing a second term…

Speaking indelicately, it would definitely put a blight on whatever plans Trump might have in mind of setting up a Trump family dynasty within US national politics. Having a V/P amenable to such a suggestion would be a necessity "I'll step aside at such and such a date AND you will accept such and such [say Don Jnr or the other son - not Barron as his mom seems to be keeping him very much under her wing] as your V/P.

Time was when the supposed Dem bogeyman for the GOP were JFK, RFK and EFK setting up an Irish RC dynasty.

Trump is getting the best healthcare in the nation though. The quality of healthcare varies hugely in the US.

We can all agree on that.

He’s too old. He’s the oldest candidate by far.

There was lots of talk after the shooting that he would tone things down. Looks like that didn't happen and won't.

Oldest nominee ever, did you hear?

Also gets names wrong and often appears lost on stage.

I think Melania is forcing him to stay in the race. Some might call it elder abuse! Very sad. He should retire before he destroys his legacy.

Trump losing a presidential race to a black woman would be just about the most satisfying end to this MAGA cult childish nonsense. I’m sure he would accept defeat gracefully.

You do realise that people are just mocking the fact that the argument against Biden being too old now applies solely to Trump who has now surpassed Biden as the oldest person to ever be nominated to run for President (given that the Dem convention hasn't happened yet and so Biden was not officially the nominee yet)?

Now all the slip-ups in speeches, getting names wrong etc, now that shifts to Trump who has a tendancy to do the exact same but kinda got away with it because Biden was worse with it.

If age was such a factor for those who thought Biden was too old, how does that not now apply to Trump? Your meme above could easily be flipped to a MAGA fan saying Biden is too old, then Biden is swapped out for Harris, then saying "Trump's age doesn't matter. Age is just a number."

The difference is that the reason Biden stepped down was because Dems and Dem voters were calling for him to step down because of his age and how it risked the election. Will the GOP call on Trump to do the same? Nah.
