USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

The debate is going to be meaningless - they are all just soundbyte farms for each side to use against one another. The attention span of the swinging voter is shorter and shorter (and each side is rusted on in their support). This is but a spectacle rather than substance.

As someone follows from afar, why is Harris so disliked ?

Kamala was given responsibility to fix the border crisis by identifying the root cause. Her answer to this was to tell Guatemalans "do not come” during a speech in Guatemala.

Didn't Trump say the border "crisis" was on Biden, he wouldn't lie to you would he?

He is already insulting Biden,after his withdrawal.

How will he cope,against a female, non white, intelligent lady?
Me thinks his head is already exploding.....

Millennials are in their 30’s! Ain’t no 30 something leading America.

Exactly, we need to deal with reality. Takes years to build up support to rise above other ambitious types, to win a primary and become ensconced. Let alone the decades of networking required to attract the backing of major donors and interest groups. One needs several billion to run a presidential campaign.

 

[FireKrakouer]

And gen x ain young either. I want a millenial leleader.

We might at least wind up with a millennial VP. JD Vance is one (no idea who the Dems will pick as VP now).

The initial strategy of the Biden-Harris administration was to improve economic, security and political conditions in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. The logic being that fewer people would then risk the perilous journey.

The shifting nature of migration necessitated a different strategy. The proposed Border Act supplied far greater resources, but more importantly required DHS to suspend the entry of any non-U.S. nationals during a ‘overflow period’ when they could not be detained by officials or returned to a bordering country.

Are the Dems nominating someone else?

As someone follows from afar, why is Harris so disliked ?

She has a very strange charisma which probably doesn't gel with what a lot of people consider "presidential" and is more "fun aunt who's had too much to drink". She often speaks in platitudes and says weird, hippyish shit, and laughs at seemingly inappropriate times (I'd say quite infectiously).

Biden did task her with working on minefields such as migration from the south etc, probably in part to avoid something like this with her replacing him for his second term.

From the left, she's disliked because she had a pretty severe record as a "tough on crime" San Francisco DA and then Senator. She primaried and replaced a DA who was working to avoid things like drug charges, and very much prosecuted people for these and boasted of imprisoning parents whose kids were serial truants from school. Her 2020 run was largely funded by Wall Street, health insurers and the pharmaceutical companies.

From the right, she's black and a woman.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Why are both parties Republicans putting up someone so ancient and mentally decrepit as their candidate?

 

[Captivating]

From the right, she's black and a woman.

I don't think the right dislike her because Harris is a black woman. They dislike her because she is the Democrat VP.

The campaign against her will focus on her media gaffes, what she hasn't done as VP (border crisis), and her lying to the public about the health of Biden.

Can you apologize for being wrong now? or should I wait a few more days for the heals to wound?

All pollies will have media gaffs and lying to the public.

On the Veep stuff - everyone knows the role is ceremonial and can't judge performance as they largely do nothing. That is not a comment on Harris herself but the role in general.

It will be Shapiro from Pennsylvania. Popular leader from a swing state. Others may be better individuals but he ticks more boxes and isn't as easy for Trump to attack

A flirtation with heroin in the 90s is a prerequisite for a lot of card carrying Gen Xers, and I don't know how Harris stacks up there.

And being keen fans of the Seattle scene

Barracks statement not an especially strong endorsement of K Harris

Or Britpop if you weren't in the US or Australia.

To enthuse their base the Democratic Party need to avoid the perception of the new candidate being anointed by power brokers.

The delegates, representing voters, officially decide on the party’s nominee, however they will attempt to have a ‘mini primary’. Whilst this allows very little time for the party to coalesce around a new nominee, it will pay due respect to the views of the party members.

Hence Obama: “I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”

Harris: I intend to “earn and win this nomination”.

DNC Rules Committee seeks framework to select new nominee.

Trump has said project 2025 is extreme and nothing to do with him. Would be a major backflip as some speculate to “enforce” it

true, he's always been a man of his word and never lied about anything.

Ha ha, sure.

It's like "I've never seen that guy before, he's a coffee boy" about one of his former advisors.

Hard to imagine Trump lying.

Nonsense, republicans hate intelligent black women, they will struggle to not trespass on her gender and colour when they discuss her.
Trump will do his usual K-A-M-A-L-A routine dog whistling to his base and the media will use every minute they have to pointing out that women are hysterical and unreliable.
Pretty much the same as the trump lovers like yourself and others!
Let the games begin!

Who was wrong?

Trump suggested injecting bleach to kill the Covid virus!
