I remember my first presidential campaign in 1992.  I worked hard for George Bush, but I was a kid who didn't know anything about jack shit.  I really thought Bush was going to win.  But then one day in mid-October as I was driving around putting up yard signs--I think it was while waiting at the stoplight at Mockingbird and Central--I for the first time had the conscious thought, "but hey--if Bill Clinton wins, the country would be just fine."  And before I got across Central--in those days, getting across Central could take several hours, so I'm not crediting myself with a particularly speedy thought process, just to be clear--it occurred to me that if other Republicans were having the same thought, then our turnout was going to be depressed and we were going to be fucked.

And it was.  And we were.

And ever since that experience, I have kept a weather eye for expressions of such sentiment.  When people who you know are voting D or R start having the thought "well, if the other party's candidate wins, it won't be the end of the world," then that party's fucked.

Human beings are mostly ilogical and while I don't disagree with the underpining prediction, having a system that can be destroyed because one side said "hmmn maybe fascism is not that bad" is a system that needs to be completely replaced, reconstruction and denazification needs to be #1 priority of the next presidency, not rely the whims of a demoralized electorate.

My 89 year old dad said something to me on the phone just now that I think would be a great Kamala campaign slogan" "We men have had the Presidency 46 times in a row. Maybe it's time we give the broads a chance."

"Give the broads a chance!"   My T-shirt slogan:  Harris 2024.  Give the Broads a Chance!

Not totally accurate.  We had the biggest pussy to ever walk the face of the earth running the joint from 2017-Jan 2021.

Thing is, what's supposedly wrong with her laugh?  It seems pretty standard fare.

It’s authentic and infectious and these people don’t like to be happy. They want everyone else to be miserable like them

I think Biden really thought he could pull this off up until Pelosi and Schumer and painted the picture for him. They were putting him out there with Lester Holt and other outlets like he hadn't in the last year-plus in an effort to make the debate seem like an anomaly. It wasn't so he did the noble thing, which he's always done.

Agree with this-I suspect Biden’s handlers found themselves backed into allowing more public appearances by their candidate, who hadn’t realized just how sheltered he had been until the post debate reaction.  It just kind of lined up in the way you hoped it would go-“Well, Mr President, if you still feel fit for the job and the public perception improves then our problem is solved.  If it reinforces that of the debate and numbers continue to decline, well that solves a problem, too.”

Biden is no master strategist on this-it was all just beautiful chaos but no less remarkable for lacking a guiding hand.  
 

I’m also a little hopeful that the previous Harris criticism that she’s a bad people manager is at least somewhat tempered by inheriting Biden campaign staff.

Correct.  The only acceptable laughter is if you are laughing at someone poorer or more vulnerable than you.  Without embedded cruelty, what's the point in laughing?

Lemme guess, Trump wanted to play from the tips but Dechambeau insisted on playing from the ladies tees.

I still find them boring. I’ll watch the VP speech and Kamala’s speech. I don’t need to see or care what the deputy director of dicks in Los Angeles has to say 

I said it was watchable, I didn't say I was going to watch it.

He’s already called her crazy. It’s probably just a matter of time before he calls her “nasty.” 

That didn’t take long. Trump cleared that hurdle today during a press call at Mar-Lago:

“She was by far the nastiest to Joe Biden. I was so surprised that he took her,” Trump said. “There was nobody nastier than her. She played the race card at a level that you rarely see, and she really was very nasty to him, and then he picked her. So I don't get that exactly now. They act like they're great friends, but you don't really recover from that.”

Trump might be shocked to know that Lincoln actually put people who hated him and disagreed with him on his cabinet.

Yeah I can’t imagine going against a primary opponent and then picking them as VP and becoming great friends.  Reagan/Bush. Obama/Biden. Biden/Harris.

That's a great retort and exactly what Kamala needs to say when he tries this crap at the debate which may or may not be happening. Hell, do it now.

Has Trump ever called a man "nasty" or is that just reserved for women?

If there is a debate, Kamala should read off every quote from those who said it.

Social media might will Andy Beshear to the VP slot. This is who the people want, and Kamala is For the People. 


Was just on MSNBC that Beshear is now “Under Consideration” for VP per a campaign source.

“Yeah, well that Lincoln guy was a loser.  He took the bullet in his head where someone great like me with my cat like ninja reflexes avoided the assassins bullet.  Plus he makes a shitty car, except for the Continental.  That was a beauty with the big tire on the trunk”.    -Trump

The FEC is still figuring out complaints from 2016 lol

By the time this gets deadlocked at the FEC and works its way through the courts, we are going to be game planning 2032 election.
