Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

Just on American exceptionalism and how they view their place in the world, I was thinking recently about when Saoirse Ronan was on Stephen Colbert and they were talking about accents. Colbert said he thinks he doesn't have an accent. Not taking a dig at Colbert but it is an example of how some Americans view America that they assume that the general American accent is the default accent of the whole world.

Go back to when the thread was discussing "cheap fakes" the week before the debacle that was the Biden debate performance…

Are you lost this thread was created July 21st.

I don't think Harris has been in the race for 8 years

Biden hasn't even been racing against Trump for 8 years.

I think you're lost. But tell us how you really feel about how well informed and clueless others are. No sense of irony there.

looking down on people who don't agree with us is an Irish past time, you should understand that about us…we can get very nasty toward people who do not run with the herd.

Or sense of irony here, reading your post back to yourself.

Weird.

and wasn't allowed to by the Democrats

Where do you asspull that from?

So RFK supposedly cut off a whale's head with a chainsaw and drove it home on the roof of his car years back according to his daughter.

And Trump is to reportedly name RFK in his transition team.

Totally not weird at all.

The "huge boost,"

No no I'm sure that brainworm roadkill guy and 'im not a republican but i wanna be Trump's VP' tulsi both had significant bases of support that wouldn't have supported Trump anyway without their selling out to him this week, just you wait… any day now we're gonna see the boost, just buckle up your cowboy boots…

…

The problem is neither person endorsing Trump, 'officially' or not this week, comes as a surprise to anyone. Gabbard has been fawning over Trump for months/years, going as far this summer as to preen herself as a potential VP pick of his. RFK Jr, much the same thing, seen in leaked footage in strategy calls with Trump weeks ago, and it's been indicated for a long time that RFK's stunt election run essentially played a similar role for Trump's campaign that Kanye was meant to in 2020 (which also flopped).

There is not likely to be any more 'boost' left to give to the race from either of the 2 chancers.

Now that's both weird and really sad,

Trump is such a narcissist that he's blowing campaign money to run ads in the Mar a Lago district simply because he likes to see his own ads on the television there. Nevermind that the area is more than likely going to vote for him in the general election. A total waste of donors money.

A 5-figure ad spend may not sound like a lot (and Lincoln Project does it all the time in the same market, for the same reason of knowing it drives Trump insane) but that's money he's not spending picking up any more votes where he needs it, such as in Georgia, where he lost by 11,780 votes in 2020.

Real tortoise and hare stuff, while hare lazes about at his house, rolls around in his golf cart and admiring himself on TV, team tortoise is hitting the road on the "Ground Force One" bus tour.

Debate rules seemingly agreed for ABC debate on Sept.10th

Until the Harris camp confirms this I'll assume this is just Trump's latest attempt to control the narrative. Is there any indication for example they have agreed to debate him with the muted mics where he can just interrupt her during her responses with the audience at home being none the wiser for example.

I don't think she's going to spend much time playing Defense, if the convention was any indication. Rather I think she's going to invest her time going on the Offense and forcing him onto the Defense, eg. "say Donald you know a lot about planes since you flew with Jeffrey Epstein 7 times," calling him 'weird' etc. and doing other things she know will cause him to unravel.

RFK's sister Kerry

Daddy was the attorney general of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer. Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, has 34 felony actions. He has contempt for the poor and suffering, for ethics, democracy, and healing. His cruel sneering at human rights for suffering people in America and around the world, the cause that was so loved passionately by my father Robert Kennedy. So I’m frankly outraged and disgusted by Bobby’s, my brother’s gaudy and obscene embrace of Donald Trump.

Could you see Trump or Vance try this?
