The race is breaking

Bruh....

Looking for positives about her. Not empty deflective attacks on her opponent like she does, for a change.
For me it is difficult to avoid whataboutisms when comparing her to Trump as I am fiscally conservative/socially liberal and would not vote for her if she was running against a Kasich or Romney type. If I was a dem I wouldn’t choose her in a primary against Buttigieg, Shapiro, Klobuchar, etc.

But we are where we are and she is running against a man and an ideology I abhor. Someone who I disagree with on many issues and who I believe lacks the character and moral requirements to be president. So while I think she will be mediocre, she gets my vote.

On policies: these are the ones that stand out as positives to me:
  • I would give her economic policies a “B” grade. Mostly free trade, continuing to support the reshoring of Production, limited tariffs.
  • I give her foreign policy a “B-“. She is strong on Ukraine which is a plus for me, but I think she walks too fine a line on Israel for political reasons. She supports our Allies and will be a strong promoter of democracy and free trade.
  • She supports a women’s right to make decisions about her own body. I give her an “A” grade on that
  • She supports and will uphold the democratic process. We shouldn’t even need to consider this, but in this election we do. I give her a “pass” grade as this one is only pass/fail in my mind.
 
I think she will be mediocre
Thank you for your honesty.

Her proposed government spending is just south of $2T. That's going to be heavy on inflation, so important.

After seeing what they did to RFK, the dems are anything but a "strong promoter" of democracy. We've already given so much to Ukraine while leaving our own who desperately need the help high and dry. With Harris we are following the path to WWIII. Harris would get mentally pushed around with the world leaders with negotiations, as evidenced by how she's handled herself in the only interviews she's ever done that did any sort of pushing her on some of the tough issues.

The dems are back and forth on this issue. Where was "my body my choice" during COVID? Women have lost zero rights during Trump's first term. The SCOTUS decision was to put abortion in the hands of the states. Trump supports women's rights. He's keeping men out of their sports and keeping them safe from dangerous men coming across the border. Kamala, uh not so much.

See my comments on this one above. What they did to RFK is anything but upholding the democratic process. To drive this point home, let's revisit what happened. The DNC announced that any state that RFK stepped in to campaign, the votes for that state would automatically go to Biden, forcing RFK as an independent. The RNC sued RFK to keep him off the ballot in every state, he had to spend the lion's shar of his campaign funds to fight these lawsuits. Then Biden denied secret service for him to boot during nearly the entirety of his campaign. Then to top it off they would not let him on stage to debate the other two. Is that truly upholding the democratic process?

I’m not in favor of her spending but I qualify deficit issues as a separate topic from economic policy. She gets an F on the deficit as does Trump. That is my number one topic and both major candidates fail. So I have to either do a protest vote (which is kind of a 1/2 vote for Trump) or suck it up and accept four years of more deficit spending. I hope a splitcongress can neuter too much spending from both candidates.

RFK is a nutbag who didn’t garner enough support to matter. You want to get on the debate stage, appeal to people beyond the fringe conspiracy nutbags…you know, people like you.

Anyway, it seems we differ on virtually every topic that matters. So my opinions aren’t going to change and neither are yours. Enjoy your Saturday and ask your brother to most more frequently please 😜

Sometimes I read your comments and it’s like looking in the mirror.

The difference is I’m the evil twin and you are much more benevolent.

First off, no, he had enough support and he was forcefully denied his chance. Second, they were on the attack right from the start, how do you know how much support he would have gotten if allowed to continue, if they followed the proper avenues to let the people decide who the candidates are? The RNC was all over his ass right from the get go when he trying to garner support against Biden by making up the rules as they go by saying Biden gets all his votes in the states he campaigns in. Sorry but you can't make a point that the dems uphold the democratic process after what they did.
 

You think that polling firm is right and Harris will win FL?

Let's think about this for a moment.

In her latest interviews (where she was actually pressed on some of the issues) she failed miserably. Her team had to stop one of the interviews it was so bad.
She has little respect on the world political scene. Anyone who thinks she could hang with Putin or Xi is delusional. She would get mentally piss-pounded out of the room. Her mental capacity is not even in the same ball park. I'm sure our adversaries as well as our allies are astutely aware of this.
She has no positive accomplishments during her time as VP, but instead has managed to create our massive border crisis.
Her campaign is built on unanswered questions and lies, even going so far as to lie about multiple aspects of her own personal background. She then blames the last 3 years and her party's own shortcomings on Trump.
She's publicly stated she supports censorship, and mandatory gun buybacks.
Her plan includes the most government spending, and clearly has no clue when asked questions focusing on our Country's economic issues in particular.
She's stated she's trying to "turn the page" from her admin's own policies.

The love fest from some of you posters has me absolutely baffled. She has absolutely no business being the President of this Country. So, if you please, what in the actual F are you thinking?
You are lying and making shit up.

Probably not but it is going to be closer than 2020. It’s like we forget he barely won Florida in 16 and Obama won it 08 and 12. The Puerto Rico mishap at the Nazi rally hurt them which is why your BFF Rick Scott immediately did damage control on the comments.

I’m not saying this is true. It’s certainly an outlier. But, Christopher Bouzey is not one to post bullshit. He is the king of disinformation tracking.

Of course, this info is assuming the Vantage DH numbers are solid. Numbers which any of us can see by logging into their public dashboard.
Yep. I take it more as an overall trend that is showing Trump is declining. There is an emerging trend occurring hinting at a collapse for Trump this may too reflect. Final Polls that are reputable in Ohio and Kansas had Harris only down 3%…

The “October Surprise” was that hate rally at MSG. It’s over for him. He’s campaigning as such. She has all the momentum.

It's like you forget how much the political composition of the state population has changed since 2020.
'12 and '08 are particularly distant in that regard.

Meanwhile:

October 30, 2024
According to the Secretary of State’s Office, a total of 2,564,067 Republicans have already voted in Florida as of the close of business Tuesday, putting Democrats in a 667,959 raw vote hole.

While there is no guarantee that registered Republicans (or Democrats, for that matter) are voting for their own party’s candidates, the numerical edge for Republicans continues to build as time runs out for the opposition party to close the gap.
 
Florida:

As of noon Thursday, Republican voters in Florida had a vote advantage over Democrats of more than 700,000. In Duval, the GOP led Democrats in total votes cast by more than 9,000.

“We’re in uncharted territory. It’s R +11 right now,” said Evan Power, Chair of the Republican Party of Florida.

Power is feeling optimistic about Republicans’ chances this election, noting back in 2020, Republicans headed into election day behind by more than 125,000 votes and still came away with victories at the top of the ticket.

“If you look at where our voters are coming from, they’re coming from low propensity voters and the Democrats just don’t have an answer for that,” said Power.

Nationally, Republicans do appear to be slightly outperforming in early and mail voting compared to the past two general elections. UF’s early voting tracker shows Republicans making up 36.1 percent of total early and mail ballots cast in the states where party-level data is available. That’s compared to 33.8 percent in 2022 and just 30.5 percent in 2020.

Good luck with that. Most of your numbers are due to republicans embracing early and absentee voting AND some of them being enthusiastic to vote against Trump. Keep ignoring the women vote, the never Trump republicans and the high non party vote and more importantly the absolute shrieking from the hilltops about voter fraud coming from the right. Or the gamed betting markets suddenly swinging. There are very very clear signs coming from the GOP itself and his campaign they are in major trouble. But of course they thought the same in 2016 and he won. We will see.
 
Tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised by any of this.

I sometimes wonder if liberals aren’t overhyping the woman vote, assuming the vast majority are going to Harris. Women tend to hate other women. Maybe the abortion issue changes things, but I still have a hard time believing misogyny and racism don’t win the day.
But, its not hard for the women to hate Crazy Filthy LYING Don, everybody knows this including, THUMP.
