Unless she was on Epstein island raping 12-13 year olds like Trump was, I don’t care.

Trump is a convicted felon and pedo and shouldn’t even be a nominee. America is beyond absurd.

How do you know Trump is a pedo?

Because they're not a newborn baby or a freshly crashed alien life form (A.L.F.) unfamiliar with the goings-on over the last 5 or so years?

He walked in on naked teen models in their dressing rooms. He grabs women by the pussy. He visited pedo island multiple times with underage girls on the flights, where he is credibly accused of molesting the girls including slapping them around and playfully arguing with Epstein over who deserved the virginity of the girl they just gang banged - all of this in court documents from long before he was a political figure. He commented on his own daughter's developing body and said he'd date her. He is guilty of rape. He has been accused of some manner of sexual harassment or assault by a dozen different women - some of it taking place in public. He assaulted his ex wife both sexually and violently.

Is any of this new information to you? There is a very consistent pattern of behavior here that goes all the way back to the 80's. He has shown us who he is all along.

This ranks right up there with the sun rising tomorrow as bold predictions go.

I hope so.

Yes - they've been attacking her pretty much from day one, but that was just to feed the base - to keep them on a steady diet of hatred.

It's different now, and at this point, pretty much the dumbest thing the GOP could possibly do would be to try to attack Harris personally. It would appeal to the base, but they don't need to appeal to the base, since the base is voting Trump no matter what. They need to appeal to the moderates and independents, and I don't see any way personal attacks are going to do that. If they try it from a moral or legalistic stance, Harris clearly has the high ground, and will mop the floor with them. And if they try to do it in a personal level, it's guaranteed that somebody, and likely the wannabe dictator himself, will say something overtly racist and/or sexist, and that will pretty much immediately hand Harris the victory right there.

They're already saying overly racist and sexist things. They said plenty of sexist things about Hillary Clinton too. I hope you're right about how people will react, but after the last few years I have less faith in that.

Well if Clinton ran now I’m sure she’d have a better chance. People didn’t yet know what it meant to have Trump and now they do.

Just wait until the first debate...

Trump debating a woman is going to be a disaster, and GOP strategists are already talking about it. All this will turn on its head.

TFW Hillary isn't a woman

Clinton didn't call trump out on being a weird little freak during debates. Harris will. If he tries to creepily follow her around like he did to Hillary, Kamala will stop, turn around, and be like "wtf are you doing, you gross creep? Quit following me. See, this is what I'm talking about. He's a predator. He doesn't know how to conduct himself. He's too antagonistic and weird to be trusted to keep tensions low and Americans safe. This sex pest belongs in prison, not the oval office. No other world leader behaves in this manner. I don't know why my secret service detail is even allowing this convicted felon to be this close to America's Vice President in the first place, especially while he's practically foaming at the mouth. Why are you so angry? Just retire and go golfing already. Stop forcing Melania to make public appearances to reinforce the illusion that the third time was the charm just so you can take credit for Nazis ruining the country some more... Anyway, back to the question..."

I firmly believe that "will you shut up, man?" was what won 2020 for Biden. Kamala Harris needs to keep her cool like 98% of the time and then allow her frustrations as a fellow human in this absurd time to leak out past her diplomatic filters 2% of the time. It just needs to be firm and calm, and she needs to not apologize afterward when Fox News tries to pretend that she's unstable or "hormonal" or whatever misogynistic/racist framing they come up with. I hope she would double down and say "the man's an asshole. I'm not apologizing for him being an asshole. If you want an apology, go bother him for one."

Omg! If she said exactly that, i would just start cheering and crying!!

He doesn't have a "lock her up"

... And his opponent... Does.

Hillary was a beltway insider and a policy wonk that came across as whiny when she needed to be seen as confident and firm. Harris will do better against Trump than Hillary ever could.

It was also when we had no clue how Trump would handle the presidency, and Americans were tired of the same repeated political lip service politicians have been spewing for decades. Hillary was the symbolic epitome of the establishment many Americans were and are sick of. Though now that we know with examples what an unhinged lunatic Trump is, Harris might have a better shot as long as she presents sanity and competence while gracefully waving away Trump's looney nonsense.

Trump will never take a debate against Harris. His personal encounters with prosecutors haven't gone well these last couple years.

I think you are right. He has everything to lose. Only if he starts slipping in the polls he might have to. I hope it happens.

He'd be:

  • a sexist debating a woman
  • a racist debating a black person
  • a convicted felon debating a prosecutor

Recipe for ultimate disaster.

Republicans are worthless traitor filth and I think they’re going to find out just how widespread that sentiment is.

The nice thing about Harris is that the only remarks the Republicans could really make against her is that she's a black woman; and that automatically outs them as the racists and sexists they are.

As long as Harris doesn't fumble, the GOP is fucked.

oh noo

That second 'o' is really emphatic, I felt that one in my bones.

I mean , they can say bad stuff but most of those guys fuck kids, you really gonna listen to them unless you’re a kid fucker too?

Karma Kameleon is Black and a Woman so I AUTOMATICALLY HATE HER and am Voting for the Guy who Raped Children!

-I'm a Free Thinking Republican but if this sounds Sexist or Racist its because I haven't been told what to say yet by Fox News!
