The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

The amount of people from JD Vance's past who go on about how friendly he was and oh he just completely changed all of himself for gain should raise alarm bells for any voter. It's not just the usual about a politician flip-flopping. 

(he also can't pronounce Haiti, apparently, speaking of which...)

The Russian troll bots are at it again but Microsoft is working fairly quickly to uncover these covert attacks on the VP.

Fake Kamala hit-and-run story is the work of Russian propaganda group, Microsoft says

Putting aside the pollster's rating, I still think we take GA just like the last two times. Plus, Trump's supposed lead is dropping.

To be clear, re: the top poll the Economist/YouGov is a B+ pollster.

Trump: I don't think I've ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They're massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I'd say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I'd get the hell out, ok? Because I don't want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together. I do it a lot. I do it with raising cane. That story. I do it with the story on the catapults on the aircraft carriers. I do it with a lot of different stories. When I mentioned Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I'm using that as an example of people that are coming in from Silence of the Lambs. I use it. They say it's terrible. So they say so I'll give this long complex area for instance that I talked about a lot of different territory… You know, for a town hall, there's a lot of people but the fake news likes to say, the fake news likes to say, oh, he was rambling. No, no, that's not rambling. That's genius. When you can connect the dots. Now, now, Sarah, if you couldn't connect the dots, you got a problem. But every dot was connected and many stories were told in that little paragraph

Yet, I have friends on FB who say that everything that Kamala Harris says is a "word salad."

Personally, I don't have trouble parsing through her statements.  I just think most people today are too country-ass dumb to understand anything above a "Dick and Jane" level.

[Vee]

She did very well, I think. Considerably better than that local interview on Philly TV a few days ago, which was a bit too both woolly and rambling yet too fixed around talking points for my liking. Then Eugene Daniels (one of the male interviewers on the NABJ panel and current heads of Politico) went on MSNBC to complain that she stayed on message too much. But I think this panel has overall been received well; Daniels is just so wedded to being part of the gotcha question industry trying to ding her anywhere they can. Those guys (particularly Alex Thompson and Max Tani) are starving for drama with the Dems now that Joe is out of the race. They've tried everything to derail the Harris/Walz train and nothing's worked.

No doubt, that cat was just hiding out from their idiot of an owner.

It's always galling to me how people expect public figures like Kamala Harris to be so damn erudite when the average man today can't put together a simple sentence to save his own neck.  You don't elect leaders who are well-spoken; you elect leaders who can keep us all from ending up on the streets!

Even Trump's own pollster (Fabrizio) has her up in WI:

She's also up by 3 there with RFK in the field.
