Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

Don't underestimate the ignorance and apathy of middle ground American voters. It's probably almost too well-known how odious Trump is, and the result is that that a lot of people must be numb to it.

In his last term, Trump's approval ratings were remarkably low, yet in the 2020 presidential election, Trump received the most votes of any Republican candidate in history. He would have won that election, only that Joe Biden received the most votes of any candidate in history. Now, I suspect that a large proportion of Biden votes were more anti-Trump, but a win is a win. It raises some interesting questions, however.

A) How did Trump's low approval ratings translate into 74 million votes?

B) If these people were prepared to vote for him even while he made a total hames of the pandemic, will they show up again?

C) Will the anti-Trump vote be as strong? Will there be action or apathy?

Speaking of sprints,

She hasn’t even been the head of the ticket for 36 hours and she’s already gone out and re-secured more than enough delegates to win the nomination. 2471 of 3953 iirc possible delegates.

Talk about hitting the ground running. MAGA was hoping for a chaotic Democratic convention and now they won’t get it.

As I said elsewhere, only idiots or bigots would vote for Trump knowing what we know. Even the USA surely has more sane people than idiots and bigots? We'll find out

Oh totally - there’s already a survey process in place for the swing states specifically as that’s where the litmus test will be most seen - given Trumps long lead in period, any closing of the gap indicated by these polls will be very shaky data but at the very least what we’ll be looking for is that the gap is actually closing even in this point in time survey.

Harris is going to be one tired woman along with her VP by the end of this - she’s a lot of work to do as has her party and volunteers - it’s a big challenge but not insurmountable as long as she doesn’t make too many gaffs

How will with Septuagenarian with the diet of a teenager feel after the end of it?

I wonder is this scene from the movie Kingsmen based on anyone we know?

That's a form of stupidity right there.

It's remarkable how Donald manages to appeal to so many disparate groups. The point is they are not all stupid, some of them know very well who and what he is.

If you follow her coverage she has very much hit the ground running. She has already secured backing from enough delegates to become the nominee at the DNC. She was in Delaware yesterday as the first stop in her campaign roadtrip.

As an old white guy, part of me resents, and the other part laughs at that remark.

My time would really be up if the Orange Dotard were to have such an impact on the lives ofthose who are younger than me.

Trump ordered the republicans to quash the bipartisan border protection bill that the border agents approved of, lest it give Biden "a win".

Do you think it will make them realise their individual chances of becoming President of the US aren't actually that great …. especially the non-US citizens among them? They will never add that title to their list of life achievements. 'twill be shattering for them.

Shout out though to the Moderator @Fathom a few posts up with more titles than IDI Amin

I don’t think Harris means to turn them into Soylent Green?

Are you saying there’ll now been some reverse discrimination against older white men?

What exactly is your point? Most sensible people vote for candidates based on the their policies. Age should only really be a factor when it’s a concern about ability to do the job.
