Thanks for the article. Here’s a gift link in case anyone needs:
She will not run. And I have not seen any such polls, the ones i saw had Michelle doing better than expected.
Dumb? Attorney General of CA? Juris Doctor? US Senator? I have no doubt she is smarter than most of us.
Republicans think Dr. Phil and Mike Lindell are smart. Oh, yeah, Trump. They think Trump is smart. Man, woman, camera, tv. Aced it. Totally aced that test. Should have been awarded a degree or something for that one.
I think it’s instructive to try to see the candidates the way many voters see them – which is to say, dumbass voters who cannot see past the extremely superficial. I love Biden, but he does look pale, frail, and weak. Trump sprays himself with artificial tan and bellows like a moose. The dumbass now knows who to vote for.
Assuming your assertion is factual, all that says is that Republicans are not good at assessing intelligence. It doesn’t say anything about actual intelligence, and certainly not about Harris’s.
Personally, I don’t see how Harris could get where she is if she were not very intelligent. But as a lot of us probably know very well, “intelligent” and “popular with John Q. Public” are not really overlapping skill sets.
I agree. And I’m sure that his political advisers are perfectly well aware of this as well. The fact that they haven’t arranged any sort of unscripted event over the last week and are only now letting him do a one-on-one interview with the friendliest interviewer possible suggests they don’t have much faith in Biden’s performance. Which . . . ugh.
I usually make a donation for my choice candidate. I do it after the convention.
I went ahead and made it, today.
My drop in a bucket won’t do much but it made me feel like I’m doing what I can do.
Remember Dan Quayle ?
He also got to the same place as Harris.
Quayle wasnt stupid. But he was gaffe prone.
In a way, not unlike Biden, historically (though Biden likely had stronger political skills).
Oh yeah- Biden was ready to be President, Quayle was not ready to be veep. But he wasnt stupid.
It’s not only what Harris has accomplished, it is the fact that she managed to get to and stay in places where she had the opportunities to accomplish those things without having white privilege or male privilege as Mr. Quayle did.
I would say this is the nail in the coffin but given how things are going it might not be metaphorical.
The Stephanopoulos interview is on now…
FWIW:
President Joe Biden said Friday at a campaign rally in the key battleground state of Wisconsin that he’s staying in the 2024 presidential race and expressed confidence that he would beat former President Donald Trump, despite concerns about a disastrous debate performance last week.
It looks like he has another cold.
So did Sarah Palin. All it takes is a candidate making opportunistic, poorly informed choices. But I’ve seen no evidence that Kamala Harris isn’t intelligent. The negative scuttlebutt is that she isn’t very popular.
I don’t know firsthand, obviously, but Quayle has almost as many unintentionally hilarious quotes attributed to him as George W. Bush. I think it’s a stretch to consider all of them “gaffes”. Are these the statements of an intelligent person?
What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
If we don’t succeed we run the risk of failure.
It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it
He was also the object of Lloyd Bentsen’s devastating takedown during their debate, “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy”.
My man is old. He’s a thousand times better for the country and our allies than Trump, but there’s no denying, my man is old.
Which is worse? Saying that, or repeating something that came from MAD Magazine as if it were a real quote?
