?????? v Trump (and one or two others) The US Presidential election 2024. Read OP before posting

Kamala ah Jaysus , they were better off leaving Biden in there

Harris first words since Biden drops out

''With the significance of the passage of time, we can be, unburdened by what has been''

I'm not a fan, but mainly because US voters will traditionally penalize a woman.

That said she's of course she's a thousand times better than Trump but more importantly she's better than Biden in his current state. He was a good president, but he was politically done for due to something out of his control, age decline. Even if his team could have run the country for 4 years, US voters weren't going to accept that. Every single poll was showing that. Sadly it was a definite game over if Biden stayed in.

That definite doesn't exist with Kamala. The risk is still there, but everything has changed. She is guaranteed the Democrat block vote. She is young, coherent, articulate, new candidate energy, is a relative unknown, doesn't have a "bad record", possibility of vitalising women and younger voters (as well as black/Asian vote)

Now the race will be on, instead of a foregone conclusion.

So the Trumpists who were whining about Biden and calling him a dementia case are now feeling sorry for him? Why bother with that bullshit?

Dunno. Trump beat a lot of run of the mill white guys in primaries in the past.

What message would that send to minority and/or female Democrat base if Harris is seen not to be treated fairly. They have to keep their coalition of votes together.

Obama beat two white guys.

It's very odd "imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been"

Seems like a more poetic way of saying look to the promise of tomorrow not what went wrong before ?

, the headline, ha

Well, I'd say its even money that the next President who takes office will be doing so after the Supreme Court has had a heavy involvement in the process.

Democrats should be locking Marc Elias and Jamie Raskin in a room between now and Jan 20th next year to first prevent any mis-steps in what is now happening and secondly to challenge the wall of sh*t that Trump and the GOP are going to throw in to courts after November, should he lose again.

Below tweet pretty much sums up why Harris is now such a threat to Trump. Aside from the main criticism against Biden for being too old having been removed, Harris is a woman who supports abortion rights, and a former prosecutor. Whoever posted above about how a minority woman running might annoy white males, he's forgetting that white males aren't the only people who vote, and abortion rights have become one of the biggest motivators for women voting in huge numbers since Roe V Wade was overturned.

Harris being able to nail Trump on abortion rights and his criminal cases (especially since Trump can no longer use Hunter Biden as a talking point), Harris would eloquently and succinctly demolish Trump in a debate.

He’s had “slip ups” on names and such like but considering his hours long “speeches” just sound like endless “rants” designed to probably be packaged into social media sound bytes for clicks, you’d be hard pressed and good luck in determining what’s intended and deliberate and what’s indicative of mental decline

Tim Apple?

Calling his wife Mercedes?

Saying that Nikki Haley should call in the national guard during Jan 6th

Fair play for “listening” to him -it’s more than even his own followers probably do
