The race has definitely tightened up

It's called a dead cat bounce and is unsustainable...

"Where's the Momentum? Kamala Harris' North Carolina Campaign Event Is Light on Attendees"

"Cracks in the wall of media praise for Harris? Multiple outlets eviscerate VP over price control plan"

"Pieces from The Washington Post, CNN, and Newsweek all derided Harris' economic proposal"

YEEEEUP, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup...

Lol, while Trump ignores his handlers to try different personal attacks on Harris to see what resonates or complains that her crowds are AI-generated, Harris is riding a wave of optimism in the Democratic party. Many liken it to Obama 2008.

Face it man, The Donald is like Old Elvis. It's not the same as 2016.

[donlever]

Not a big Obama fan but relating his campaign to Kamalas is a pretty big stretch for even the most staunch Dem.

At least Barack could orate and was Presidential.

She's a muppet for Crissakes.

[5thhorseman]

Yeah I'm talking about the movement rather than the individual.

And I think it's a bit early to judge the individual as well. She's not Obama but the party is rejuvenated under her. In comparison Trump now looks like the one throwing in the towel.

I don't care much for good orators. I read some of Obama's books and not a fan.

I feel yet another coup coming….

[5thhorseman]

I don't think we're going to see a repeat of what what happened in 2020 at the Capitol, Rats.

What I've seen posted elsewhere, is that if the Republican campaign can stop or stall state certification so that the deadline is missed (December 11th I believe), and if Congress is unable to resolve the issue, then the electoral college is bypassed and a vote is taken in the House, with each state getting one vote, which will favor Trump.

A lot of things have to happen for this to take place but that's the gist of it. The battle will certainly be at the state certification level.

Democratic National Convention

What could go wrong?

Expected massive pro Palestine protests for one.

...and since attendees needn't worry about formalities like say voting for a candidate, Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions (is Doug Emhoff bringing his kids nanny?) and vasectomies (here's Michelle's chance).

I don't care much for good orators. I read some of Obama's books and not a fan.

I read them as well and fully agree.

Not really talking about writing a book though.

However we feel about it and especially in 2024 a Presidents spoken discourse is important, if only for optics.

Yeah I know, but I feel that Obama's oration is much like his books. Too flowery.

However we feel about it and especially in 2024 a Presidents spoken discourse is important, if only for optics.

Dictionary
op·tics
noun
...
2.
North American
(typically in a political context) the way in which an event or course of action is perceived by the public.
"what we really need in this circumstance is to make smart decisions in the best interest of student safety—not simply make changes that win political points for optics"

I agree optics is important. For the politician. Not so much for the electorate. I prefer a politician who makes the right decisions regardless of the optics. Or who doesn't do things just for the optics.

[donlever]

I prefer a politician who makes the right decisions regardless of the optics.

Let me know when you come across one of those.

Sure why not, they ousted Biden and they can oust Kamala.

We’re Old White Guys!

We’re old white guys and we’re growing dim,
No one likes us cuz we’re too grim,
We’re out of vogue,
Too white, too old,
We’re Teflon Don and Tampon Tim!

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris ... a-backlash

Part Deux

We hate spices, so don’t put those,
On our white guy tacos,
We like mayonnaise,
In our tuna glaze,
And sour cream on potatoes!

Section 8

Got my money the white guy way:
My grandaddy dropped dead one day.
I’m rich! That’s right!
Guys like me don’t have to fight!
But hey. I say. I’ll see you at the V-Day parade!


Somebody help me, it's becoming a compulsion...
