Now that she's the official nominee, is anyone else excited about Kamala Harris's chances?

Waltz said in a campaign event on gun control that he wanted to ban the guns he used on the battlefield

CNN fact check https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/07/politics/video/tim-walz-military-service-jd-vance-fact-check-lcl-digvid

Includes the video where you claim that Walz claimed stolen valor - as well as the extent of Vance's real fighting experience.

People can make their own judgement which will be different to yours

Yes, so basically he lied. What a surprise, democrats lie too

I saw the freaking video where he said it!

False. Just false. The Army National Guard did not deploy in military situations until Iraq. He served for 24 years and retired without deploying to Iraq since he had gone deaf. He did not make combat claims.

You have to be a complete dolt to think that a woman who is known for her cackling (in inappropriate situations) and her incomprehensible word salads, and who was the most unpopular VP in history is somehow fit to be leader of the free world because of media rebranding.

She is hugely enthusiastic about the mutilation and sterilisation of children, which is reason enough to detest her. But even putting that aside, she hasn’t had a sinfle unscripted appearance or interview since she was handed the nomination. She has literally never had to answer any difficult questions about her record on the border for example.

Hate Trump all you want but it is utterly undemocratic to not face questioning when going for the most powerful job on the planet. Her identity is not reason itself to make her president!

Very few people ever seem able to talk about any actual policy when it comes to Kamala. It’s always swooning about her race and/ or sex. That’s idiotic.

I know I said I was going to leave this thread and I will after this post. I just feel that I have to correct the misinformation (again). Stolen Valor means claiming that you saw combat action when you didn’t. This is actually a federal offense and deeply offensive to veterans. Walz said he fought on the battlefield when he didn’t.

Don’t worry, the US will never be able to be more embarrassed by another president having had Trump, no matter how hard they try!

This is all irrelevant since the deal is done to the satisfaction of the democratic party as evidenced by the roll call/vote that chose Harris after Biden dropped out.

Harris is the nominee.

There was no mechanism for choosing previous candidates for president in previous democratic primaries—those votes or that self nomination didn’t hold over in any legal, social, or moral sense.

If other politicians like Elizabeth Warren (I believe) did better than Harris in the primaries, should they not have been selected? I cannot understand, given technology, why the Democratic party could not have had a re-vote to choose a candidate. Can anyone explain?

Also, would Hillary Clinton not have been a prospective candidate? Or has she completely withdrawn from wanting to be president?

Hi Melania!

Cackling hyena!! Absolutely. She is dreadful. President of arguably the most powerful country in the world??? She's no better than Biden. A total embarrassment

I'm really not sure how you can call her embarrassing when the other choice is Trump. Now HE is embarrassing!
He's giving a statement later on apparently... hope he touches on sharks, electrocution and his old mate Hannibal again!

At this point I think we can assume the anti-Harris people don’t have anything that is both recent enough to matter - given that people grow - and well reasoned.

They kept trying to stick her with the immigration mess until we pointed out that DT ordered the Congressional Republicans to vote against a bipartisan bill that would have been a big first step towards solving it , supported by Biden and Harris. DT didn’t want immigration solved.

Etc. Yes, OP, Harris’ laugh is pretty much all they have left

Cackling hyena!! Absolutely. She is dreadful. President of arguably the most powerful country in the world??? She's no better than Biden. A total embarrassment.

Also highly ironic is Harris’s labelling of Trump as “weird.” The only weird one here is cackling hyena Harris LOL.

So... all you have is... she laughs. Okaaaay. 'Weird' is very mild given what he has lobbed at Harris. Questioning her ethnicity ('she happened to turn black' ??) 'crazy, 'nuts', 'dumb as a rock', she has a low IQ, she can't pronounce her own name, and more.
He always falls back on juvenile name calling when he has absolutely nothing else. Sexism, racism, bigotry... he has such a problem with strong women, it's really quite amusing to watch him flailing around.
Weird, in fact.

Trump frequently speaks in word salads. About such charming topics as Hannibal Lecter. When did Kamala Harris embrace her Black identity? (Ans: She was brought up biculturally Black and South Asian and attended a Historically Black University)

To my ear KH has a full throated gutsy laugh showing that she isn’t afraid

sue for incitement, disinformation? the irony of it 😂

Trump has NEVER said he would ban abortion nationwide. He said he would let the states decide themselves. Where does this misinformation come from? Trump should sue Harris for incitement/disinformation on social media. Also highly ironic is Harris’s labelling of Trump as “weird.” The only weird one here is cackling hyena Harris LOL.

If the level of discussion gets this low then I’m out.

@Molly, we can only assume this is sarcasm. Even if there were proof of election interference, and there never has been, the Supreme Court is not elected. It could not be interfered with

Did you...inject the bleach??
