I can summarize. It’s not a long clip at 56 seconds. She’s talking about the stuff Trump wants to cancel, like the Affordable Care Act. Then she gets heckled. Her reply: “You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.” ---

People interrupting and talking over her must get so old. ---

I can’t hear the heckler at all on that clip. Do we know what he was saying? ---

Which is all the more ironic. She simply needs to learn to ignore the hecklers when no one else can hear them and just keep talking. ---

And they liked her shutting him down, which isn’t a bad thing, for someone who is running for a major leadership position. ---

RE Kamabla - I read it as Kama BLAH - i.e Kamala is so boring, she has no energy, etc etc - If you like, she’s enervating rather than energising. He’s trying to attack her where she’s strong… ---

Is it me, or is the Harris-Walz campaign out-Internetting the heck out of the Trump-Vance campaign? Another bombshell dropped by Kamala HQ’s X account – Trump photographed with Project 2025’s Kevin Roberts. The man Trump “has no idea” about. The legitimate media scoop was made this evening by the _Washington Post_. > [@Donald Trump and the runup to the 2024 election](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trump-and-the-runup-to-the-2024-election/1005196/33): > > Donald Trump has no idea who Project 2025 head Kevin Roberts is. “… no idea who is in charge of it.” [Paywalled Washington Post link](https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/08/07/trump-heritage-project-2025-roberts/).

To be fair, Trump is senile and hangs around with lots of wealthy fascists. It’s possible he forgot this particular one. ---

The most recent Marquette poll **iiandyiiii** cites was conducted 7/24 - 8/1 — essentially before Trump’s interview at the NABJ convention. I like that it’s a poll of likely voters (vs merely registered), but wish their sample size had been larger. 4.7 points is a really big margin of error. ---
