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

And for people who have been saying for years to 'Just give us someone young with half a brain in their head'.

Harris is qualified in Law and also in Finance and served as San Francisco District Attorney and also California Attorney General. She was US Senator for the State of California and now VP of the US for 4 years.

And she's only 59 years old. I hope she campaigns aggressively instead of any sort of 'dignified' approach trying to let her record speak for itself.

The Attorney against the Felon. That's it, that's the choice.

"White guys" aren't the only people who vote. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 as a woman. Barack Obama won two elections as a black man.

The majority of "white guys" who hate identity politics yadda yadda yadda, were pretty much always going to be voting for Trump anyway. It's the Independents in the swing states who will determine the election as they always do, and they're more likely to just vote for who they think the best candidate for the country will be.

They don't think if Harris is elected that the next 4 years will make their country like a Beyonce video. They won't think that, because nobody would ever think that, because that's a f*cking stupid thing for a person to think.

They seem to have timed it well and left doddery don's VP pick very exposed and a liability.

The VP pick to support Kamala will be a big moment. Saw someone say it is unlikely to be Newsom because of the California thing. I think it has to be male so Gretchen Whitmer is probably out.

So could it be Pete? I think that would be a very strong ticket except he might possibly outshine her. Although, he's smart enough to play the role of the back up while still representing very strongly better than anyone.

But, is the US ready for female lead and gay male understudy yet?

Aaron Sorkin (West Wing) suggested Mitt Romney as Democratic presidential candidate... that seems a bit too Hollywood but what about as VP. Hmm.

Nope, they're not so I hope they have a good long think about it.

Think it would be a kick in the teeth for every Dem who ever put in effort fighting for the party. If he had crossed the aisle at some point before now, then maybe, but while still representing the Republican party, can't happen.

Unless Harris was to come out and say she wouldn't seek the nomination Joe had to endorse her or he would be seen to think she would not be a good president.

That's not a good look when she's supposed to be president if something happened to Joe.

Did you watch the debate where, at one point, Biden completely lost his train of thought in the middle of a sentence, and then finished his piece (such as it was) with "….we beat Medicaid….", and a totally vacant expression on his face? He was showing some pretty obvious signs of encroaching senility, and it was laid bare on that night. This was before he had to be walked off the stage by his wife. The only thing he's done wrong in this whole episode is that he waited at least a year too long to make this decision.

There was no Democratic primary. His main 'rival' was Dean Phillips who Jon Stewart pointed out doesn't even look like a real person, but like the stock model in a print ad for washing powder. Obviously Dean is a real person, but the point was that he was just put up as a generic placeholder because the protocol has been for quite a while that you don't run against an incumbent. His expectation of beating Biden for the nomination was about as sincere as the Chondoist Chongu Party's efforts to score a majority in the North Korean legislature.

And this was before Biden's humiliating and rather concerning debate performance. Old Dean might have nearly been in with a shout if the timing had been different.

Frankly, this stuff about democracy being upended is nothing more than weasel words designed to sow discord and disunity in the Democratic base. Trump's probably going mad right now, if only on the basis that the news focus has been taken off him for a single day.

Trump is moderate on abortion,'' let the states decide, and most have voted liberal, which is great, let them decide''
