Members Khan Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 I agree. Besides, Trump doesn't need a public appearance to make an even bigger ass of himself. He can stay home and do the same thing on Truth Social, or whatever the hell they call it. But I definitely agree that his symptoms are making it harder and harder for his team to control him (that is, if they ever could, lol). I'll be honest: I would have DIED if Harris had picked someone like Stacey Abrams to be her running mate. America, in the hands of two Black women. I'm not sure the rest of the country would have liked that, but I, for one, would have LOVED it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 (edited) Out of the candidates (both official and rumored) who didn't get the gig, I feel like Kelly would have been another safe, solid choice who could have appealed to progressives, centrists/moderates, independents and swing voters across the board, followed by Beshear. Of course, there also was the very real danger of Kelly fading into the woodwork like Tim Kaine before him. He would've needed to come across with more energy and enthusiasm, which Walz, a one-time Social Studies teacher who's used to getting people excited about stuff they otherwise wouldn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about, has in spades. Shapiro, on the other hand, seems like a solid enough politician, but (sorry, @Vee) he comes with too much baggage, especially for the far-left whom, I'm sorry to say, we need along w/ independents and disgruntled Republicans if we're going to win. (And as for Buttigieg...? Well. The more I think about it, the more I think he's primed more to be president rather than vice. It's just a matter of time and waiting to see when, or even if, the country will be ready to embrace an openly gay man as its' commander-in-chief.)

Members janea4old Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 (edited) The Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, is Native American, member of the White Earth Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. If Walz takes office as Vice President of the U.S., Flanagan would become governor of Minnesota for the remaining two years of his term.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 The state of Georgia still has a chance to correct their previous error in judgment by electing her as their next governor when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wonderwoman1951 Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 when gabby giffords was shot in 2011, reports started appearing online that she had been killed. as i recall, the report originated at npr and was picked up by virtually every mainstream media site — except for the new york times. and so i shall wait. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/08/06/us/kamala-harris-vp-trump-election#trump-elon-musk-interview something to look forward to… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 I can't wait for the debate in which Harris annihilates Trump. I am already dreaming about it. He doesn't stand a chance.
