Kamala Harris and the runup to the 2024 Presidential Election {No more on Guns}

Nnnope!

But she has done everything right, all the metrics point to her win, and I’m feeling it. :slight_smile:

Someone has to be the goat if I’m wrong! (I’m not.)

Which isn’t to say the MAGAs won’t fight the win. They will try. But they won’t prevail. I believe in the goodness of the majority.

What if MAGAs are the majority? Just saying.

She’s making her points, and making them well. I like how she started with Trump’s plan, implied what it meant for the US, and now is moving on to more palatable things.

They aren’t, and they have never been. That’s just a fact.

I hope you’re right.

“On Day One, Donald Trump will walk into the Oval Office with an enemies list. On Day One, I will walk into the Oval Office with a To Do list.”

Great stuff!

I’m not the only one who’s confident. I posted this link in another thread, but I can give it again and again, so I’ll give it again here:

Stuff like this doesn’t leak unless there’s a basis for them to have a strong belief that it’s true.

That’s precisely what they want us to believe, like Nixon’s “silent majority” except puffing themselves up and making weird noises like a sage grouse instead of being silent. Just saying.

I’m shocked that there are as many MAGAs as there are, and that the race is as close as it is. It should’ve be. It’s become a contest largely between urban/rural, between educated/uneducated, and thanks to Trump and the MAGAs, between women/men. That Lincoln Project ad was a good one. I hope that that’s the way it plays out.

She looked nervous initially and stumbled over some of her lines but she finished strong. She didn’t say anything new but she leaned into the American vision and dream. I liked that she got cheers as she called out to each constituency, young voters, women, men, LQBTQ voters, union workers and even Republicans. I think she stressed that there is a place for everyone in her vision.

Did anyone else hear the annoying siren at the beginning of her speech? Seemed like she was competing with that noise, which made her sound unsteady and rushed.

I heard the siren. Yes, she seemed a little unnerved by it, but was just fine when it stopped.

Ha! Yes, I do! I think it was an awesome speech all around. I moved to CA in ‘99, so I’m familiar with her work here, so I expected a great “Closing” argument.

Was that “down with Trump” chanted?

Trump’s been working towards this for however many years. Harris was thrust into this ninety days ago. And they’re neck-and-neck. Everything else aside, that’s amazing.

LOL, I can never tell what’s being chanted unless someone tells me. But it sounds about right. :slight_smile:

Kamalamentum!

Word of the week! Nicely done!

Again I say, Do not tempt the wrath of the Whatever, from high atop the Thing .

This election is one stand up comic from disaster.

I think the LP ad is a very clever strategy. I’m also utterly sickened that in 2024 there are women who have to cook up a scheme, I Love Lucy style, to cast their own vote.

Trump has never won a majority of voters. And since he ascended to office in 2016, the Republicans have failed in the next 3 national elections.

I’m so glad she took my advice! Obama ended his campaign in ‘08 with very large crowds, and I was hoping that she’d also gather together a huge group of supporters. I think people want to be a part of something big, and she’s given them that feeling of representing a winning side.
