Doesn't mean it'll be the same 'nothing to see here', and we shouldn't want to find out to be honest.

FWIW, Sportsbet odds keep coming in. Trump now $1.72, Harris $2.10.
I just knew I should've had a punt when Harris was $2.50+ last week. Dammit.

325 billion dollars will fix alot of those problems. Spending more on Ukraine then you have in border patrol since 1980s must be a issue no?
How do you summarise that isnt a important thing to regiser?

I agree, Trump should definitely run with the Russia/Ukraine issue as his main campaign strategy. Give it top priority, his main pitch to get elected.
It isn't an either or scenario.
The US can do both, preferably they reform taxation at the same time to help balance the books.
Obviously some are just ideologically opposed to Ukraine spending (which is significantly just giving them surplus or older materiel), and will just use separate issues to justify leaving them to the Russians.

Turning up to work for lunch, watching TV, whining and grifting aren’t accomplishments.
Trump dumped the GOP Policy Platform in 2018. He has grievances not policies, let alone legislative initiatives that address the challenges confronting his nation.

The VPs job is not to announce her personal positions on the challenges facing the nation, that contradict the party’s platform and the stated views of the POTUS and cabinet secretaries.Zero policies, yet another never before seen phenomenon in US politics!
You guys are utterly hilarious

Farmers and victims of hate crimes may have a different view.
They think the world ended?
When you are dead your world has ended.
So all of the farmers died between 2016-2020?
There are usually strong specific policy statements in POTUS elections I think. Clinton had "It's the economy, stupid." They have to appeal to wider audiences and don't want to held to their word in case they can't get it done, ie. Trump's Mexican paid border wall. As said above, policies are also a part of the party's position, not just the POTUS.
Character, integrity, and intelligence are all important aspects to a candidate. You have to trust his/her ability to make smart, measured, and effective decisions under stress. Selecting a good staff and appointing a good Cabinet is also crucial. The POTUS often has no expertise in a subject, so he/she decides based on them. It has forever been true that the appearance of a potential leader was important. Even more so in the television age. Nixon sweating on TV. Dukakis might have had amazing policy ideas and an ability to push them through, but he just did give off leader vibes.
What clear policies have candidates in the past 30 years had?
I believe Harris has no more radical ideas as Obama had. She will have to work with the rest of her party to get things done. That is politics.
And as was posted above, her opinions on issues have already been made clear.

No one should be surprised at this.
It's all they know.

Hirdy acts like he just stepped out of 2015 and is an old school corporate democrat, who thinks the system works perfectly and no democratic norms have been attempted to be undermined by the republicans, both subtley and rather blatantly in the 9 years since (especially 2020 onwards).
Yes, just letting Russia take Ukraine over will mean no more loss of life and everyone living happily ever after.
What are your thoughts on Israel's actions in Gaza?

The birth certificate has been available on Kamala's Wikipedia entry since 2020.
Her father is Jamaican which a simple google search will show was an island nation central to the development of the slave trade. The Spanish brought large numbers of Africans to Jamaica as slaves after the arrival of Christopher Columbus - the explorer most Americans (weongly) think discovered the continental US.
To say Kamala Harris is not black is ignorant BS. But that doesn't matter to Trump and the MAGAs. Like he did with Obama birther BS, he makes the statement not because he thinks it's true but because he thinks it will ring the racist bells of his ignorant flock.

As we know, when there is an insurrection and failed coup attempt the wannabe dictator who failed goes "oh terribly sorry, won't do that again" then everyone lives happily ever after.
Its amazing how people have normalised what he set in motion in during 2020 up to Jan 6 2021. Also what he continues to say now.
