People wouldn't trust Trump alone with their 15 year old daughter, but would vote for him for president.
I am not quite as enthusiastic as you but share your sentiment and hope you are correct in what you are predicting. As much as I am hoping that the Dems win the presidency, house, and senate by landslides, as usual it will more than likely be close come November. I hope Harris comes out and successfully prosecutes the case against trump and maga trumpism. The voting public needs to be reminded what a terrible job trump did last time he was given four years as president. And his lack of integrity and in general what a terrible human being he has been and continues to be. The trump cult is relying on voter suppression and voter disenfranchisement. There are far more people in this country that hate trump to varying degrees than like him. If voters that do not care for trump are motivated and inspired to show up in record numbers it will likely result in a Harris victory. A close one but still a win for democracy. One that the former disgraced president will insist again that was stolen from him.
2 things. I agree that she will focus the narrative to his deeds of the past. The one thing is, those who generally go to rallies have already made a choice on who they are voting for. Item 2. I do not think Trump will debate her. He can only loose. Unless his ego makes him do it. I will also say that I think Harris wins. She will energize the apathetic voters who were sitting on the sidelines and things will change quickly. Might be wrong but I'm a realist and any candidate more capable than Biden from the democratic side has a lot of built in votes from the base and the anyone but Trump camp.
It is not that I like Trump or his policy, he is a narcist that have several screws loose, but just watch him win a land slide victory in November. Trump or Biden or Harris, that is the best we can come up with for the US presidency, how sad is this.
This is from Congressman Jeff Jackson and is interesting. It would appear that unless someone comes forward very quickly to challenge her, Kamala's most likely going to be the nominee... Suddenly, it’s a whole new race What happens next JEFF JACKSON JUL 22, 2024 Well, holy smokes. I was in a Zoom meeting with the president a week ago with a few dozen members of Congress. The purpose was to discuss the viability of his campaign, and he took a lot of hard questions. But at no point did he seem like he was dropping out. I figured if he changed course, I’d hear some kind of murmur before the announcement. That’s not what happened. I found out the same time all of you did. The shock was followed by my phone exploding with calls from other members of Congress. Why? Because we’re all superdelegates. 14 million people voted in the Democratic primary, but the way it works is that the effect of those votes is basically to instruct the delegates from each state how to vote at the convention (which starts in three weeks). There are about 4,000 delegates across the country. North Carolina, for example, has roughly 150. Until yesterday, pretty much all of those delegates were locked up by the president. Now they’re unlocked. They can vote however they want. They’re free agents. As a member of Congress, I’m not one of those delegates - I’m what’s oddly called a superdelegate. In reality, it means I don’t get to vote unless the convention goes to a second ballot. Only regular delegates get to vote on the first ballot, so if someone immediately wins, the superdelegates are just there to smile and wave. Let me cut to the chase and tell you what I think is about to happen: I think the vice president is going to hit 2,000+ delegates pledging their vote to her within the next week. My strong sense is this will not be an open convention and she’ll be the nominee on the first ballot. I also expect her to name her vice presidential running mate pretty quick. There are three or four names we’re hearing for that, one of which is the governor of my home state, Roy Cooper. But will anyone challenge the vice president at the convention? Two things on that: First, you have to have the support of at least 300 delegates to be listed on the ballot at the convention. Making it even harder is a rule saying that only 50 of them can come from one state, so you have to have support from at least six different states. Second, the vice president’s most formidable potential opponents are all endorsing her. There was a moment last night where it looked like Sen. Joe Manchin was going to try and challenge her, but he backed down this morning. Which is all to say, the vice president is about to become the nominee in extremely rapid fashion. She will inherit the entire existing campaign structure, complete with staff, field offices, and warchest. A pretty seamless transition. I think we will be fully unified in about a week - which is absolutely, totally remarkable given how sudden and dramatic this transition was. Continued...
That is what the GOP wants chaos....sorry charlie, we are all on board with Harris......and celebrating a selfless act. DD
the hagiography is something to witness, for a man who has been one of the most divisive politicians of the past 50 years.
