    This is not a serious opinion and shows how little you care for those who serve.

    Right - but that isn't what Vance or Trump is talking about - that is what they SHOULD be talking about. Instead they are too busy talking about whether Harris is black or Indian, discussing whether her great great grandfather owned slaves, calling Harris a stupid girl ....... claiming stolen valor with Walz, claiming that he is the anti-Christ and calling him a leech...... all in typical MAGA fashion.

    by the time they come up with anything that sticks, if they ever even manage to do so, it might be too late because they’ve flooded the zone with so much festering sh*t and have turned off so many people

    all the self-inflicted wounds will be too much

    Trump just attacked republican governor Brian Kemp during a rally in Atlanta the other day…Kemp is more popular than he is in that state…not sure what the strategy was supposed to be there to try and get more poeple on his side

    This is about 98% of it to me. Most of America are just really ****ing sick of Donald Trump and his campaign of grievance, anger, and vanity.

    Harris and Walz aren't perfect, but they come off as lightyears more relatable and sympathetic figures than the sociopaths piloting the SS MAGA.

    Yup, people vote for the likeable people not the give the country a better chance to prosper... I don't think the debate is about voters, the election is pretty much done.... However it will be entertaining to see Vance destroy Walz absurd stances...

    I'm pretty sure that is sarcasm. Libertarians have swung rapidly from Trump/Vance to Harris/Walz.

    Bruh, its only been like what? 3 weeks since the coup? Of course right now all we are getting is surface attacks on Kamala and Walz... These are the advantages of replacing a nominee chosen by the people to one chosen by a party strategically just a few months before the election....

    It is obvious they don’t care about the votes in the middle. Those are the ones who determine the election. The swing voters. The democrats on the far left act the same way. Thank goodness they are not in power like they are in Republican Party. That’s what happens when you have a person acting like a demigod as your leader.

    I think the Harris team is playing this right, she doesn't seem to take the bait and the fact that she is up there smiling and having fun is a dark contrast to the other side calling her a cat lady and Walz not patriotic, I don't think they can read the room but then I remember that trump is calling ALL the shots and those are the talking points HE thinks will resonate with the public, but it only resonates with the maga base, they eat it up and applaud him for it. He doesn't seem to realize that type of rhetoric turns off so many people. I am sure they have some smart people on his campaign and I don't doubt they have told him that this is not a good strategy but the donald knows best and will do and say what he feels the maga base wants but is igniting people who were not going to vote because trump was a shoe in due to Joe`s age mental state. 2 weeks ago I would have said I still think trump wins, but if he keeps this up and the Harris team can ride this thing for a few months then he might just tweet his way out of a job. People are sick of this **** and they see a way to finally make a difference. I dont know JD but I wonder if he cringes when he calls out Walz for his service knowing dam good and well its a lie?? I just cant respect a man who would do that ala Cruz

    If the Rs are banking on veterans and those currently serving to forget over the next 90 days, the huge dump that Vance is taking on them, ... well, good luck with that.

    Oh, I stand corrected. I'm thinking of Independent voters not Libertarians.

    The election isn't "pretty much done" - there are months left until election day and either candidate could still win, possibly in commanding fashion with this much time left. Harris and Walz are not Biden - this isn't a situation where there is a known quantity running against a known quantity. Those that support Trump are VERY loyal and very loud about their support, but they are not the majority of the country.

    If I had to bet my life on it, I believe that Trump wins when it is all said and done, but this isn't like when Reagan, Clinton or Obama were running for re-election and everyone they would win - this is different.

    The coup line of attack seems so dumb especially since Trump actually tried one. Is that one sticking? Is that why you keep using it?

    Right - and the longer that MAGA decides to unjustifiably attack Harris' ethnicity, gender or how she looks - the further Trump will lose in polls..... the same with Walz. The longer MAGA decides to question the valor or someone that spent a quarter of a century in the military, the longer that they say he looks old or make other absurd statements - the longer Trump will lose ground.

    There are things to attack Harris and Walz about based on their record - but Trump and Vance cannot help themselves.

    You can see he can't even help himself in his response... "the coup". They call it "the coup" because it's inconceivable to them that someone would have the maturity and humility to do what Biden did. That's how badly Trump has lowered the bar.

    All this stuff makes Republicans look so awful. They can't even smell how bad their own **** is anymore.

    If Trump would STFU and let an advisor guide him through the next few months, I think he could pick up some voters. But he is hard headed and dumb, so we may be stuck with these progressives.
