They thought the same thing about Barrack Hussein Obama. And sorta Biden.

The fact that Trump and MAGA are so angry about Biden being out speaks volumes - they know a lot of people aren’t buying what they are selling.

What's sort of ironic is that POTUS, under most conventional conceptions of the office, lacks the power to do any such thing, even if s/he were inclined to do so.

It is, however, conservatives that want to gridlock Congress and give the power to do such a thing to the Executive.

Thought about that too. Has to be people that are holding their nose and voting for Diaper Don. Double haters that are breaking his way.

the non-MAGA GOP will hold their nose to vote for tax cuts.

"Donald Trump (-25%)

33% favorable 58% unfavorable"

How can this be a close race with those kinds of numbers for Dotard?

The electoral college, America. Everyone fucking hates this dude, but it's important that Iowa gets to decide the Presidency.

That was a lot of words to say that Vance is just a sociopath. 


It really boils down to the fact that he's uncomfortable in his own skin. People pick up on that and, once they have that idea about you, it's very hard to turn it around.

I think Vivek had potential to be worse.

Let's face it, you have to win over a lot of really dumb people too to win a national election.

JD Vance was bought by billionaire Peter Theil through Don Jr. Luckily Theil has bad instincts so far but it's scary.

Wonder how long until Elon Musk is deciding the VP for Republicans.

b) institutions like the NYT are controlled by white men who fail to recognize their own bias. That's one big reason Drumpf and Sofafucker can get away with and skate right past crap like this and a woman in the same situation could not. 

He fucked couches.  Not sofas.

Theil is a dangerous motherfucker in many ways, but the one saving grace is that he has basically a negative social IQ. He was also responsible for that Blake Masters freak who is widely regarded as maybe the worst  candidate of all time.

Donald wouldn't want the competition when it comes to sexually assaulting women.

Light skin blacks that are married to whites are more palatable. In the black community we call those introductory blacks.

Would recommend the AOC / Bernie podcast on Bernies YouTube from 3 months ago if any of yall get bored. Some good discussion about organizing on the grass roots level.

Let's be honest- Trump is a dumbass but he doesn't impact our lives the same way local leaders do. Texas is 42nd in school funding and 43rd in healthcare outcomes? Someone fact check that to make sure.

I’d go with “gateway blacks,” not that my opinion matters.

Some Wisconsin swing voters say they are "relieved" or "cautiously optimistic" when they see Vice President Kamala Harris, according to our latest focus group with Engagious/Sago.

Why it matters: These voters, who backed President Biden in 2020 after backing former President Trump in 2016, indicated that Harris injects new energy into the 2024 race.

  • "She thinks things out and I like that, when she talks, she does it with a sense of authority and that means a lot," said respondent Dolly A. 
  • "When I hear her talk, she talks eloquently and that makes a big difference to me." 
  • While a focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, the responses show how some voters are thinking and talking about current events.

Driving the news: When asked which of the last three Democratic Party nominees Harris is most similar to, nine of the 12 respondents said former President Obama.

  • "To me, I think they're both really high energy speakers, very eloquent with their words and it kind of says to me, leadership," said respondent Jerry M.
  • "I think they bring a new ... intelligence and energy to an outgoing kind of stuffy administration," said Sebastian P. 
  • Nine of the respondents are independent, two are Democrats and one is a Republican.

Between the lines: "Even though Harris serves alongside Biden, and is the same gender as Hillary Clinton, most respondents said that among the last three Democratic nominees, Harris is most similar to Obama," said Rich Thau, President of Engagious, who moderated the focus groups.

Zoom in: 11 of the 12 respondents said, if they had to hypothetically bet $50 on the results of the 2024 election, Harris would win.

  • "She's Black, she's a woman. I feel like that is two things that most people are going to focus on her, age, what she looks like ... That's a good push for her, I think a lot of people are just going to vote for that," said respondent Tierra H.
  • "A lot of people of color are going to be like, they want to see someone of color, they want to see someone that looks like them," Tierra H. said. 
  • "I think [Hillary] Clinton would've won if people weren't apathetic last time and I know people are not apathetic now," said John G.

I think he's going to hold it against Donald Jr., who apparently convinced him that Vance should be the choice, for the rest of his life. Because he, Donald Sr., can't make a mistake without it really being somebody else's fault. I'd love to see Trump give all of his money to Ivanka while screwing the rest of the family out of their inheritance.

This week starts the crucial 3 week stretch.

With an assist from media and social media palz Trump is taking the discourse back over.  Harris needs to flood the zone for the next 10 days - events, rallies, announcements, etc. Interviews are fine, but they need to be social media friendly and newsworthy - Roland Martin and Charlamagne would be OK, but weird long form ones with fanatical audiences would be ideal -  Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Lex Fridman, Travis and Jason Kelce.

She also needs to be on offense during the debate and to be as aggressive as possible. Ideally he'll start whining about how unfair it is, and she should make fun of him and ideally laugh at him during the debate.

Saturate paid media for 10 days or so following the debate, and minds are made up. It's GOTV from that point forward.

There are better Black podcasters out there with more significant audiences and who aren’t hated by the community.

I read that in 2016 the media, CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, would show Trump at his rallies for a full 2 hours and every program would spend most of their time reporting and talking about him. It was estimated to be 3-4 billion dollars worth of free advertising and it's what got him elected. That can't happen again and I'm hoping they've learned from what they did.

That, but also

  • The Comey Letter
  • Hillary herself (decades of being defined as shrill, conniving, complicit in a bunch of suspicious murders, and responsible for Benghazi)
  • Hillary's campaign (neglecting Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania)
