Read up - The fundraising and endorsements are through the roof right now. In less than 1 day. Rumors are abound from the "insiders" that Trump/GOP team are pissed as hell. They wanted to go up against Joe. Rumors Trump wants to pull out of all debates now. Even this - Thanks. As I said, there's been so little about her in the past few years and the Biden administration in general although I did read recently that it had actually been good. And to be fair It's all been overshadowed by COVID and Joe's health concerns. It will be interesting to see how this changes the floating voters votes. Joe was really deterring many people from voting for the democrats but this will give the party a new lease of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciccone's Cheeks Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Ya VP picks are def. as vital as ever now. With politics as tribal & partisan as ever you better believe she needs to bag up the RIGHT dime peace VP. HAS to be a Caucasian moderate swing state male. Imo Shapiro just pulsates IT. Exudes something next level special. In his eyes & demeanor. Obama-esque orator, *PA Governor, young, rapidly rising star, charismatic & likable and liked by BOTH parties (esp Indep.) I really like Bashear & Mark Kelly too. Would be FINE with them. But Shapiro reeks future President energy. Barely 2 yrs as Governor & got all the buzz. Only 51 yold too so plenty of time (decades) of a political future with or w/out Harris. Roy Cooper Gov. of NC is a verry safe & acceptable pick too (Boomer, southern white guy in a swing state). But he's meh out of all of them. With the sustained horror show of the last month (F up after F up) Dems need a major JOLT & a fully revived campaign that ripples between now - Nov.! Ya, Kamala may lose some 'old whites' in certain regions but ALL she needs is ~2/3-3/4 Obama -esque coalition (which wasn't old whites) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X of some saying Biden was bullied out by 'elites' lol. What/who the hell are elites when the *voters (~65% of DEMS & rapidly growing) wanted him out. Saying elite in a derogatory way was so 2015/16. It's just stale & don't get it. And who the 'elite' aren't. He's in reeally rough shape & rapidly getting worse. Polls were collapsing in every possible way. Masses were *seeing/hearing a man melting away & struggling to finish thoughts & sentences on every interview SINCE the debate. Blatant rapid deterioration. Was humiliating for HIM. SOMETHING had to absolutely be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiganstarlet Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Well a bully would think like that. Instead of campaigning against a party and policy agenda, he SPECIFICALLY targets his rivals on very personal levels. Once again loser, you made a bad deal.

JR! Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 12 hours ago, KalamazooJay said: I think you’re all crazy for thinking this isn’t a massive jolt of electricity for the Democrats. Biden excited absolutely no one. He was a walking corpse that should’ve bowed out prior to the primaries. He did what he had to do - beat Trump and signed in a host of impressive accomplishments. But. Now there’s an open process, intrigue, buzz about a running mate, and wall to wall coverage about their upcoming convention. Dems NEEDED this. They desperately needed the media coverage to shift in a different direction. ESPECIALLY after Trumps assassination attempt. For the next few weeks all the focus will be on this nomination process and that’s a huge net positive. HUGE. This 100!!! First time that I felt compelled to donate after finding out that Biden was finally stepping down and Kamala being the obvious pick! Plus she is brat coded!

Ciccone's Cheeks Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Oh ya... the day after ground is shaking. Absolute massive vibe, GAME changer. Nancy Pelosi queen of masterful 3D Chess. Look at the *timing (right after Vance VP pick haha). Of course Trump and his team are seething rn! 1st time they've been on the defensive! Completely turbo charged, REVIVED campaign- one that was a walking, wobbly zombie on a good day. Between Charlie X, Cardi B etc...viral, memes, tik tok etc...In 2024 it's that (not TV commercials) is IT. In 1/2 a day already running a better campaign lol. And all w/out a what's likely to be a stellar VP pick! Like when Obama picked BIDEN in 2008. Same energy rn. Ya, the cackling, clunky demeanor and responses etc...are all out there (& better believe the far right is blasting those clips). But imo the last several months she's been the most seasoned, serious and connected I've seen her in 3.5 years. ALL about her having the right...best people, team etc....who could do a 180- RESET on everything. Long as she stays the course laser focused and disciplined. If she does, at the min. she gets Obama coalition to whatever degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonski43 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 There was an asparamancer on the radio last week - someone who predicts the future by tossing asparagus. She predicted a woman will win the US election! This was before Biden resigned. However, there was an update to today. It won't be KH! She says their name starts with an M! Could Michelle O be heading for the white house???

It's better like this. She only attracts negative press when she does it. She doesn't need it. Looks what happens only because of David's live. She needs to concentrate on her biopic now.

Camacho Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Vice President Kamala Harris raised more than $50 million in under 24 hours after entering the presidential race, her campaign said.
