Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

And that's 19 ec votes in the bag

Seems like a sound pick in terms of shoring up poll numbers in Pennsylvania, but the trouble is what the pick does for her numbers elsewhere. On his latest podcast, Michael Moore bemoans the idea of picking Shapiro as one of the things the Democrats would have to do wrong in order for Trump to win, basing this on how it would badly suppress the Arab-American vote in Michigan due to the picking of Shapiro being interpreted as tacit support for Israel and their actions in Palestine, which could in turn lose the Democrats that state.

Additionally, as much as there has never been a woman POTUS, there has never been a Jewish POTUS or VP. If identity matters that much to Americans, it may be a bit too much identity in one package for some of them to swallow, though it's going to be a very hard factor to fully quantify if it indeed is one.

Cautiously optimistic, let's see how the next 90 days go.

Does Moore seriously believe that the majority of Arab-Americans in Michigan would vote for Trump if Shapiro was on the ticket?

I very much doubt that.

The reality is no dual candidacy is going to tick every box.

IId Be more worried about how they behave after the election. That said Trimp's no longer commander-in-chief and I dont think a military coup is on the cards.

In a shocking turn of events, the people who make millions of dollars from smuggling people to the US border have the resources to quickly and covertly cut through sections of the wall. Who could have known?

The reality is, the vast vast vast majority of Americans couldn't give 2 flying fúcks about Gaza.

It's sad but true. Half of them couldn't point even roughly to it on a globe.

They might say so in random polls, but it won't be an election issue.

Kamala Harris was speaking in Georgia last night. She said she has been down at the border and seen tunnels that people traffickers use to get people across the border. I am sure Sun Zhu had something to say about when the enemy is building tunnels, don't build walls.

Theres a saying, "Show me a 10ft wall and I'll show you an 11 foot ladder".

I am absolutely a self confessed "armchair psychologist". I like trying to figure out why people do the things they do. Reading this, is helping me understand Vance's attacks on childless people, his give more votes to parents and all his other bizarre 2.4 kids family beliefs.

Raised by his granny, because his mother was a drug addict, he had a revolving door of "stepdads" - 15 by some count. I would not be surprised if he had an attachment disorder as a child. It would only be natural.

He has mommy issues and it looks like they haven't neen dealt with it. It appears the man could do with some therapy.

I'd say I'm surprised this was overlooked by Trumps team, but I honestly don't think they did any oppo research on him at all.

Yeah, the knock-on effects of another Trump presidency would potentially be large for Ireland due to his policy of essentially fining American companies who off-shore their labour. In the case where Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and pharmaceutical manufacturers were forced to move their operations back stateside, it would leave a massive hole in Ireland's budget, such is the tax take.

It’s not just the corporate tax take that would be lost. There’s also income tax, USC, employer and employee PRSI. Not to mention the overall reduction in economic activity, increased unemployment payments, etc. etc. The overall impact would be devastating.

But not to worry. The straightened circumstances would no longer matter in a few years time when Trump’s reversal of climate change action causes the whole planet to become a desert.
