    She is a different version of Obama in his eyes and he already tried all the racism and it didn’t work. It’s fun to watch him squirm.

      Don’t let your guard down. We still have to get so far past the finish line that SCROTUS can’t pull another Al Gore.

      That said, I’m quite enjoying watching him squirm as well

        I’m less concerned about the SC and more concerned with random acts terrorism that will come with a decisive loss. They will only hear the case if it’s close and sometimes it seems like Trump is trying to lose.

          I’m concerned with how there are about three different terrifyingly-viable ways for Trump to end up with the Presidency that don’t involve getting ≥270 Electoral College votes.

          1. Bush v. Gore 2.0
          2. Jan 6 2.0
          3. Having MAGAs disrupt vote certifications in enough states that neither candidate gets to 270 and the election is thrown to a “one state, one vote” poll in the House.

        Mr. Gore’s name being split on to two different lines for me made me read it as “Artificial Intelligence Gore.”

      She’s definitely not Obama. Her weakness is policy. She has intentionally avoided the topic because she would undoubtedly alienate some of that “joy” that they’re doing so well courting.

      Thing is, the GOP in general is extremely weak on policy. And Trump is the worst of the bunch.

      So she’s probably good, unless the GOP can somehow make her define her stance in certain terms. Which she has always avoided like the plague in the past.

    The whole point of picking J.D. Vance was to counter Harris. Now that she’s top of ticket, not only does Trump not know what to do, Vance is pointless against Walz.

      The Vance pick had nothing to do with the campaign. When Trump picked Vance he thought that he was guaranteed a victory. He picked Vance to ingratiate himself with Silicon Valley during his Presidency.

        Trump picked Vance because he has an Indian wife and could counter a Harris VP with “I’m not racist, look who I married!”

        That got blown up when Harris was elevated and going against Trump.

      But he doesn’t counter Harris at all.

      It’s just more Trump. A counter would have been Nikki Haley, but that darn misogyny got in the way.

      Seems like a waste of a good bicycle. He should fuck himself in the ass with a worthless car instead.

      I’m on board with this approach. If I may suggest an additional step - perform a quarter turn on the vertical axis after insertion.

    It’s more than a month ago Biden stepped aside and trump is still out of ideas. Guess he is still working on that infrastructure bill.
