Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

That's a tired talking point that Harris is the 'left' candidate. I'd say she has elements to appeal to the left, centre and right who are tired of Trump. Those three groups could be grouped as 'left' the MAGA definition, but I don't take the MAGA definition seriously.

your move, JD

Is that worse or better than Trump siding with Putin over the US security services?

Is it better or worse than Trump saying he intends to turn the US into a dictatorship?

He said himself that VP are irrelevant, so not sure why you think Walz is a problem

I wouldn't 'believe' the polls are either as they are 1) a sample, 2)a point in time, and 3) have a margin of error.

But what is clear is the momentum. The polls, all the polls, are moving in Harris direction.

Based on the current trend and situation Harris will win this election. Trump has a few cards to play, most involve him stopping being himself and letting the grown ups make the decisions, but almost every card comes with massive risks.

He can try to talk policy, but as POTUS he failed to deliver anything other than a massive tax cut for the rich.

He can't talk about jobs as he just congratulationed Musk on axing people just for wanting to strike.

He can try to talk tough guy US protector, but his arse licking of Putin is a major issue. He failed badly with the Covid crisis which doesn't bode well for any future crisis.

In almost every area that Trump can look to attack his own performance paints a really poor picture of him. That's why the attack line on Bidens age worked so well. It didn't require any thought from his side and he couldn't ever lose.

That is all changed now. Hence the flailing around and hiding in Mar-a-lago.

The desperation is real.

if Biden stayed in the race the Demos would be handing the presidency to Trump. I do not think that I have to explain why. Now if KH wins the position it will not be because of her capabilities, etc, etc, IT WILL be because of Trumps behaviour/carryon /etc/etc. in other words he will be handing it to her on a plate. IMO , dhe say to do little or nothing to win it while avoiding any ‘banana slips’

Who is K. Harris?

Bizarre.

Why cant you bring yourself to use the actual name?

You dont use T. Walz or D. Trump.

Whst conspiracy theory dog whistle is this?

This is the best dirt you have to sling?

There is no substance to any of this

You want to start doing a list of all the things Trump and Vance have done that wont sit well with Americans?

Thats from an official Trump campaign account.

Blatant racism.

How will the "centrists" and independent voters for Trump try to defend Trump on this one?

Can Trump swap out JD Vance at any time? I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens if he continues to lose ground.

The DNC next week is only going to unsettle him even more.

I think he missed the window. He's already officially on ballot that went to print iirc

Not being a narcissistic loon in thrall to the multi-billionaire class and right wing nut jobs overtly trying to overturn democracy

He needs to dump all the stuff he’s done previously- it’s old and tired and dated and it’s making him look even more stupid than he usually appears.

He’s still a force to be reckoned with but his racial attack on Harris hasn’t landed particularly well - he just doesn’t know how to approach her so he’s going to his usual name calling gimmic.
It’s clear he’s struggling but if he refocuses on the economy and the border and just keep it simple, he’ll gain ground there as they are weak areas for Harris
