"Richard" is swallowing all the inane talking points from the Goebbels noise machine. Those people who voted for Biden also voted for Harris; she was on the Biden ticket. Now states--who control those primaries--are starting to formalize their pledged delegates to Harris for President. It's up to the states, their freedom to decide. Harris never claimed the Biden/Harris delegates anyway; the party nomination process will be decided by the Democratic Party.
"Richard" been incessantly saying Joe's age was a problem, but now it has the makings of a conspiracy theory. The Trump-Tards are desperate to turn back the clock and go back to the status quo. But suddenly, it's the Prosecutor vs. The Convicted Felon. Trump's run-of-luck just ran out; Vance will be a huge liability (but it felt good at the time to go along with Donald-Duck's bidding).
Kamari is the presumptive nominee; there's still a process to go through. It's what happens in a democracy. You wouldn't know about that.
Since when is it illegal or undemocratic for a Presidential/Senatorial/Congressional nominee to drop out of a race? The party is no longer allowed to get a new candidate to contest the seat?
That all the Reps got? "Laser focusing" foghorns stereotypes like "DEI-hire", complaining about her laugh, and memes Harris had nothing to do with? You think a focus group and state sponsored press are orchestrating the memes created by young people energized to keep Trump and "15-Minute" Vance out of the WH?
Fine if the GOP doesn't want Millennials and Gen Zs; they don't want to go back to 1954 Nixonesque Puritanism. The Democrats welcome younger voters and any others you figure you don't need. The young ones have the stamina to make great volunteers. Trump needs suburban women, blacks and Latinos in swing states. Attacking Harris for her gender, mannerisms and race has cost the GOP support among those groups. The trade-off is that it encourages the Trump base without expanding it; a "winning" formula like 2022.
Folks are excited to see a youthful experienced candidate for President who naturally projects genuine compassion and empathy. As opposed to Trump, the convicted felon, pervert, insurrectionist and bigot, who's only talent is whining over phony self-pitying grievances.
Some long-forgotten promotional event. As least, she didn't separate thousands of innocent children from their mothers and guardians. Trump portrayed migrants as "animals" and leprosy drug mules.
The young ones started making new Kamala memes after the debate. Some can make them in a few hours; are you that out of touch with the 40-million Gen-Zs eligible to vote this year? If you and your GOP youth-under-estimaters are, good.
You think some meme program (with a limited reach) was orchestrated by a group of media people to sway votes from people who don't look at them? That Trump supporters are so smart they "decoded" the operation because similar language was used? Wow. Right out of the JFKA critic playbook. You should see what Tucker Carlson is going on with CT-wise.
You been following the news on CNN and MSNBC since the debate? Of course not. For two years now, there was concern in reports about Biden running.
You been living under a rock for the last two years?
Why is the media not focusing on Trump's cognitive decline? Trump made Biden's age a core issue. Trump challenged Joe to a cognitive test; will he take one with Harris? Will Trump get a cold or claim exhaustion a few days before the debate and take a pass.
I like the way George Conway explained it. In 2016, Hillary became the issue. In 2020, Trump the incumbent was the issue. In 2024, Biden's age was the issue. Now, Trump is again the issue, helped along by Trump's narcissism. The 2022 "Red Tide" elections showed what happened when Trump was trying to be influential; the GOP narrowly won the House, but had a net lost of one Senate seat and failed to flip a single state legislature. The Democrats flipped the state legislatures in the swing states of Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Barely started her campaign and Harris's numbers are looking pretty good. However they are being held down by the same problem that hurt Biden's poll numbers.
There are those who think that Harris is better than Trump and will vote for Harris if the choice is between Harris and Trump. But, they fear Harris is not the strongest candidate we can field. They think Newson or Sanders or whoever would have a better chance. But there is nothing they can do about, nothing they can do to influence this decision. Unless they get a call from a poll taken. Then they can say they don't know who they will vote for. To maybe, by some miracle, drive Harris's poll numbers down to the point she drops out.
But it is going to be Harris. And once this is formalized by the Democratic convention in August, they will have no more reason to lie and will start telling the pollsters the truth, that they will vote for the Democratic candidate, Harris.
Biden has been a great president and we should have stuck with him. In the last month my admiration for him has grown immensely. I have never felt this way about any other politician. And his unselfishly stepping aside only increases my feelings. But I am confident of victory. And six months from now, when Kamala and Joe are being driven together through the streets of Washington D. C., we will be honoring Harris, but our hearts will be ridin with Biden.
Good grief. That is some type of alternative reality. Biden didn't step aside. There was a coup. Old Joe's poll numbers were so disastrous that the Dem establishment knew he couldn't win. He still held on until they turned off the money and forced him out. They made him a Godfather-like offer that he couldn't refuse. The Dems set up Biden to drop out by scheduling the debate so early. Biden had shown the same signs of cognitive decline for years that were on display at the debate. The media and Dem establishment protected him and denied there was any issue until that point. After the debate, however, they immediately turned on him. It has all the hallmarks of a set up.
Cackllin' Kamala is dumb as a rock. She did not receive a single vote in any presidential primary. If Old Joe was considered one of the worst presidents in history according to the polls, she will be much, much worse. I do agree, however, that it will be a close election. Even Old Joe was in a deadheat before he was forced out. Cacklin' Kamala is a terrible candidate. Once the honeymoon is over after the upcoming convention her typical gaffes will deflate her chances. Remember when she told us that "AI" was two words? Or that Ukraine was a country in "Europe" and Russia was a bigger country? LOL. My favorite though was the creepy ad she filmed with child actors to tell them they were going to the moon. Those poor kids will never get that imagine of her out of their heads.
You are giving false information. Yes, Biden was talked into dropping out of the race because the poll numbers were not good enough. He was down by what, 2 per cent. Is this a disastrous amount?
In 1988, in late July, Bush was down by 17 % to Dukakis. In November Bush won by 8 percent. A swing of 25 %. The early polls are not always off by this but they sometimes are.
To allow me to work with whole numbers, I will say Bush was down by 16 % and won by 8 %.
Here is what i do NOT believe happened. 58 % of the voters supported Dukakis, 42 % supported Bush. And zero percent were undecided. Then just over one fifth of the Dukakis supporters changed their minds, 12 % of the 58 %. Making the final tally 46 % to 54 %.
Here is what I DO believe happened. 29 % of the voters supported Dukakis, 21 % Bush, 50 % undecided. The press did not include the undecided but just gave the percentages of the decided, 58 % for Dukakis and 42 % for Bush. Then, of the 50 % undecided, a disproportionate percentage, about two thirds, decided to with Bush, adding this 33 % to Bush while only adding 17 % to Dukakis.
Neither scenario I listed is totally accurate. I think there were a few voters that changed their minds. But scenario 2 is a lot more accurate than scenario 1, where everyone had there minds made up in July but a lot of them changed their minds.
You see, the thing is, there are two types of voters.
1. Those who are following the election for many months and have pretty much made up their minds.
2. Those who don't start paying attention until a month or two before the election and make up their minds late.
This happens in every election. These two groups of people are a different breed of cat. The second group does not necessarily vote the same way the first group does, in similar percentages.
So why did the Democrats panic in 2024, being down only 2 % while the Republicans did not in 1988, being down 17 %? Because Dukakis was not a threat to Democracy. If he was a Communist, who had previously praised Castro, and had a mob storm the capitol in 1985 in an attempt to make himself president, and they were now down by 17 %, then yes, I think the Republicans would have panicked and convince Bush to step aside. But, since there was no threat to Democracy, they just shrugged and said, what the hell, we will stick with Bush and hope for the best.
Trump being a terrible threat, a clear threat to Democracy, caused Biden to step down. Not because he is too old to serve as President, not because he is too old to run for President, but because Trump is such a huge and obvious threat, he have to get the 'perfect' candidate.
If Harris is up by 10 % by late August, are we out of the woods? Not even remotely. A huge block of voters are undecided. No one knows what they will decide because they haven't decide yet. They still have not given it much thought. We will have a better idea by the end of September.
I must say, the main thrust of Trump's campaign, you can't have a President that is too old, is going to haunt him. Maybe he should have not made this the main thrust of his campaign until after the Democratic convention. But Trump never was too smart.
Sounds like this: "JD Vance is giving Republicans buyer’s remorse"; "Vance’s rough week raises doubts over Trump’s running mate"; "Donald Trump's Women Problem Has Gotten Worse"; "Republican Predicts Excuse Donald Trump Could Use to Replace JD Vance"; "JD Vance Struggling In Polls After Trump VP Nod"; "I Hope Trump Kept the Receipt"

I wonder how many of the other leaders in Canada JD Vance would like to see replaced?

Have you figured out what state you were raised in and currently reside in yet? So we can figure where your idiotic support of Kountry-Klub Racist Old Ducky comes from.
Kamala is dumb? That's just a lazy white entitlement, chauvinistic trope. None of those race, gender and successful black women being uppity attacks are going to work, outside of the Trump-Sphere.
Dumb might be Old Yeller Trump at an international summit thinking "Western-style liberalism" referred to the West Coast of America. Dumb might be believing there were airports during the Revolutionary War.
Again with you thinking sticking out tongues is something black people do. Do you think they catch flies? Trudeau is also not running for President. Guess you're not going to address the racism, misogynism, and--well--"just plain weirdness" in the Trump Republican party. That's why their assassination-miracle and convention bump has evaporated.
Why do you think sticking the tongue out is racist? Millions of people, particularly young ones, have stuck their tongues out when being photographed.
Actually, Trudeau has done so and in recent years. Guess who else has done it?

Trudeau acknowledged it was racist; he didn't do a Trump and call it a "deep fake" (and Trudeau might have made a case with the poor video quality and lack of sourcing). Trudeau's father wasn't a Klan member and lifelong racist.
It's you who highlighted the tongue-being-stuck-out as having to do with your perception of a gesture that specifically mocks black people. Do you really think black people catch flies with their tongues? Where were you raised? Did you hear about it in a Trump Resort steam room?
After the scandal broke, Trudeau's party kept him in as leader (I had nothing to do with it) and he ran an election that returned him to office (although he has to work with another political party to pass legislation). Unapologetic Republicans in the US can pose in blackface and hold elected office, and run for State office with Republican Congressional endorsement.
Winning, Winning, Winning ....
Kamala Harris erases Donald Trump’s advantage in battleground states: poll
Former President Donald Trump’s battleground state advantage appears to have evaporated in the little more than a week since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, a new poll showed.
On average, she notched a 48% to 47% lead in battleground states – jumping ahead in four out of seven of the key contests, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll.
Harris led the polls in Arizona with 49% support to Trump’s 47%; Michigan with 53% to 42%; Nevada with 47% to 45%; and Wisconsin with 49% to 47%.
Prior to Biden’s abrupt exit, Trump, 78, had generally been leading in most of the battleground state polling, with some variation.
Trump still carried the lead in North Carolina (48% to Harris’ 46%) and Pennsylvania (50% to Harris’ 46%) in the Tuesday poll. The two candidates tied in Georgia with 47% each.
Losing, Losing, Losing ....
JD Vance Suffers Harsh Blow in His Own Backyard
A CNN/SSRS poll revealed that 28 percent of people hold a favorable view of Vance in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with 44 percent saying they have an unfavorable view of the MAGA senator.
Vance's net favorable rating of -16 points in his home region is larger than his -6 points on a national scale (28 percent favorable compared to 34 percent unfavorable).
And this is two men against one woman. Her VP pick has to come and the Convention. Purchasing power is strong and inflation has been lowering. Housing and rents remain up, but does anyone think that'll improve under Trump and the GOP? I thought the economy was a big deal for the Republicans in an election year; but instead they want to talk about DEI-hires and cat-ladies and something Trudeau decades ago that he regrets and has apologized for.
When Old Duck gives an interview outside of friendly Fox News ...
[/list]
Dumb Duck uses teleprompters, more so than Kamala. She doesn't have to grip the podium stand to speak into the mike and she can read off a piece of paper.
There was to be no joint appearance. Harris was busy with new campaign appearances and will eulogize Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Trump showed up with attitude (he's equal to Lincoln; LOL) and didn't like the one journalist who asked him the toughest questions. He didn't shake anyone's hands at the end. Very low class. At least, I think, Old Yeller didn't mention that blacks should identify with him because he's a felon in a mug shot.
Where does Biden call Harris the Border Czar? Obviously Mexico, but since when has Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, had a border with the United States? The original official nicknamed "Border Czar", Alan Bersin, says "This was not the job assigned to VP Harris." Theresa Cardinal Brown, of the Bipartisan Policy Center (rated right-center), said: "She was never named a border czar. In fact, the border was not her priority issue at all. The border was the responsibility of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She was never in charge of the border per se."
Harris was focused on "root causes" in Central America; her priority issue was abortion rights. Other officials were in charge of the US/Mexico border. Harris' diplomatic efforts led to $5 billion worth of private investments in the area. On one visit, she said:
"I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about
making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border.
Do not come. Do not come."
Seems worth noting that Trump killed a bipartisan border deal so he could use it as a campaign issue.
You mean something like this:
"So, yes, ICE has a purpose. ICE has a role, ICE should exist. But let’s
not abuse the power. Let’s not extend it to areas that were not —
that are not posing a threat to the safety and the public safety of
these communities, especially when we know that these federal
agencies have limited resources to do their core job."

Yeah, they weren't striking them.
How did you ever break away from the JFKA Conspiracy Factory?
Nearly 4000 certified delegates voting is a "deep fake" fraud put up by some "star chamber". Get this over to Trump headquarters pronto. The racist, chauvinist, chameleon "tags" have backfired. Kamala will have more of something Trump got little of at the Convention; the support of former Presidents and esteemed members of government, as well as business, labor and community leaders. No stunts like Hulk Hogan tearing off a cheap T-shirt (took him two tries -- very low class).
"Trump was late to NABJ interview because he didn't want to be fact-checked, group's president says" ( Link (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dnc-virtual-roll-call-2024-how-it-works/) ) Old Duck bailed on invites from the group in 2016 and 2020. There were audio issues, but, NABJ President Ken Lemon said, "The bigger problem was his threat not to take the stage when he had agreed to go on. He did not want to be fact-checked, but we could not let him on the stage without fact-checking."
Trump later that day went to a campaign event in Pennsylvania and twice referred to Republican Senate candidate David McCormick as the state’s “next governor". He's that sad confused off-the-rails uncle who shows up at holidays.
"I love my black job": Simone Biles
Controversial remarks from Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, also resurfaced
this week after Biles' win. In 2021, Vance, who is Trump's vice-presidential
running mate, questioned why the gymnast should be praised after she
withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health. Biles
had said she developed something gymnasts call the "twisties."
"I think it reflects pretty poorly on our sort of therapeutic society that
we try to praise people, not for moments of strength, not for moments of
heroism, but for their weakest moments," Vance said at the time.
Many social media users have called out Vance in Biles' defense, with one
writing: "What the heck has JD Vance ever done that is better than what
Simone Biles has done and continues to do?"
Remind anyone of when Old Yeller said John McCain wasn't a hero; and when he called fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers." Same playbook.
Putin has written off "Fragment-Proof" Trump and "Flipper" Vance. If Putin thought there was a chance in hell of Trump winning, either on November 5 or in post election shenanigans, he would never have released the hostages. Getting Trump back into the White House is that important to Putin, unless he thinks there is vitually no chance. Well, Trump has learned what so many have learned about Trump, if you team up with Putin he will turn on you the moment it suits him. Guess we have to call him President Chump.
When Biden dropped out, they were not bound to him.
"Biden’s now having voluntarily withdrawn from the race before the
delegates nominated him based on his status as presumptive nominee
as a result of the primaries, the delegates are free pursuant to the
party’s own rules to choose a different person as their nominee.
There has been no disenfranchisement of primary voters as a part
of the process of the party following its own nomination rules."
-- Edward B. Foley, Election Law Program at Ohio State
I know you want to add it to your unending list of victim-hood grievances. Biden and Harris won over 80,000,000 votes in 2020; surely that must have included the delegates. And that's 80 million more votes than Gerald Ford had when he became President (that's POTUS, not Presidential nominee).
What would change by waiting? You think they would elect Biden as the nominee? I know you want to turn back the clock. Please keep avoiding reality; been working great for you so far.
Scott Jennings (R): "He did crap to bed today" (referring to Trump at the NABJ)
Where was Old Yeller at those conventions in 2016 and 2020? He went all snowflake when he was asked the first non-pandering question in years. Old Duck suddenly didn't care about the Michigan polls and being gracious to make a case for black votes. All his "off-script" answers he steered into rehearsed rhetoric from his rallies.
Three words? Really? The Average Joe is not that much of a nitpicker. He'll long remember something else that occurred at the same airport.

Election-day, working people are probably more interested in this sort of thing. Hope to see some of this in GOP ads.
You were in on the decision-making process, were you? Like when you said Biden would show up to the debate jacked up (the Trump who showed up was a different man than the digressing babbling idiot (Hannibal Lecter a wonderful man; sharks; attacking GOP Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife) who does low-energy stump speeches loaded with gibberish).
"Josh’s position on Israel is almost identical to everybody else but he is
being held to a different standard. So you have to ask yourself why?
We just couldn’t imagine other Democrats within the party questioning
a VP pick just because they were Black, were gay, Latino. We couldn’t
imagine that."
-- Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), who is Jewish
The Democrats winning Pennsylvania doesn't hinge on one individual. Old Duck didn't appoint a Pennsylvanian as VP; his pick was a man with double-digit negatives in his region. If the Reps think they own PA, they're sure putting an inordinate amount of money and effort in the state. Now we'll see if Lil' Duckling hides behind a "safe haven" lop-sided debate challenge.
Japan's Nikkei has finished with its best day since 2008. Markets rebounding in the US, including tech-heavy Nasdaq. The global stock market had become volatile since Trump became nominee, with talk of abandoning alliances and imposing tariffs. Old Yeller's Taiwan rant a few weeks ago caused chip stocks to fall. Then the Japanese yen value increased, triggering mostly tech stocks to be sold off. For one day, if the trend holds true.
The guy Reps were calling an Obama knock-off. Whatever that means; just the usual MAGA weirdness about somebody's looks or mannerisms.
Shapiro is going to switch parties and Jewish Democrats are going to flock to the GOP. LOL. What next; Harris isn't black enough? Native-Americans don't look "Indian"?
Sure. Just go with that. None of the racist/chauvinist attacks and biblical-scale alarmism have stuck. Voters fed up with a Biden-Trump rematch got the welcome change they wanted with the energetic, enthusiastic Kamala. Old Duck's numbers plateaued and Harris has closed the three-point lead over Biden. After three weeks, it's more than just a bounce. The Convention is yet to come.
The man who broke that claim was a National Guardsmen said to have been passed over for a promotion that went to Tim Walz. Joseph Eustice, who led the same battalion as Walz, said" "He was a great soldier. When he chose to leave, he had every right to leave."
Walz could leave his reenlistment early if he so choose; it would be hard to run for Congress while overseas. Walz had compromised hearing in both ears while in service and was four years beyond when he could retire with benefits. For most servicemen, 20 years is a career. Coach Walz made it to 24 and continued his public service. Eustice also left before his re-up term had ended. Ironic, Bone-Spur Duck criticizing Walz' military service.
If Shapiro had been the VP pick, Trump would have banned him a fake-Jew who's a "fool" that "hates Israel". They would have highlighted the Ellen Greenberg case. I guess they would have attacked his wife, too.
As VP pick, Shapiro would have talked himself hoarse in two speeches. Walz is much better. Will draw in vets, white males and average working people in general in the swing states. Probably got a million just from yesterday's appearance.

"Make no mistake crimes were up under Donald Trump...and that's not even including the crimes he committed." Walz has the populism of a Reagan or an Obama. Walz has heart and sees joy. Trump has no heart, and spews fear and intimidation.
You do know that Old Yeller wore a mini pad for days over his minute and insignificant ear wound?
No one knows if Walz would have been deployed had he stayed. Vets know assignments change. Would they have sent a guy with hearing problems into a combat zone? Keep the ridiculous claims going so the Democrats can get even more of the vet vote.

According to data from the Third Way, in 2021, these GOP-led cities had a higher murder rate than democrat-led New York City: Miami and Jacksonville, FL; Fresno, CA; Omaha, NE; Colorado Springs, CO and Tulsa and Oklahoma City, OK. The Third Way think-tank reported:
"The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities
is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red
states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher
in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022."
"But we shouldn’t have to remove these cities from our analysis because blue
cities in red states are still beholden to red state laws. Laws that make it easy
for criminals to traffic and buy guns (86% of homicides are committed with a gun).
Laws that under-invest in cities, law enforcement, and social programs. Laws
that are responsible for the highest poverty rates and the highest gun violence
rates in the country. The fact that murder rates are high all across red states,
not just in cities, tells us that state laws play a part in their crime problem."
"Using the 2021 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances from
the US Census Bureau, we analyzed police spending in all 50 states. We found
that blue states spent 33% more money per capita on policing than red states.
In 2021, blue states on average spent $453.67 per resident on policing while
red states only spent $341.37 per resident."
It's a myth that Blue States "de-fund" the police; that happens in the Red States. In 2021 and 2022, the Red State murder rate was one-third higher than the Blue State murder rate. Of the ten states with the highest murder rates in 2022, eight voted for Der Fuhrer in both 2016 and 2020.
