That's a big word. Scruffy and I like tiny words.

Huey is one of those Tutti Frutti types so that kind of language is the norm for him.
Her work as the Border Czar is the most telling regarding her accomplishments.
lol…well done. 😉
No, they weren’t knocking for Trump, rather someone running for a State office. I kindly told them…they already got my vote. 😉
The MAGA nuts on this board are losing their shit. Tuesday night is going to be glorious. I expect a legendary thread full of whining and grievance.
Natural is starting his meltdown early.

That’s because the question was her positive policy points. The border isn’t one of them.
They ignored it for three years and finally started to do something bipartisan in the last year only to be blocked by Trump for political reasons.
I’d give her 3 years of an “F” and the past year a “B”. Averages to a “D”.
You are buying into the Trump bumper sticker depth analysis of the issue?
Harris led the effort to a long term solution to the issue by going to central American countries and negotiating with those govts to reduce the chaos there that pushes their citizens to seek safe haven in USA.
That does not happen overnite but we are now seeing a big reduction in the numbers from those countries.
Venezuela is not friendly to USA so they were not going to be receptive to our efforts.
Trump's border policies were challenged in courts and were not going to hold anyway.
But bottom line is when the USA economy is strong (like under Biden) immigration booms.
When USA economy falters( pandemic/Trump) immigration #s drop.
Which do we prefer: strong economy or reduced immigration?

I voted Harris because on balance I think her policies are better (albeit mediocre) and she is not Trump. I also think the economy is more important. But we are a capable nation, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
On immigration: I believe we must streamline legal immigration to make it much easier for upstanding people to become productive citizens. I support citizenship for dreamers. I believe the long term path of lifting up these economies is good for us. It provides diversified manufacturing options away from China, less likelihood of illegal immigrants coming here, etc.
But I also have two eyes and can see what has been happening at the border under both admins. It is a crisis and Biden/Harris should have done more to address the immediacy of the issue. They waited three years. I’m giving them a bad grade. If you think the immediate crisis is not important I respect your right to that opinion, but I think you are wrong.
Finally just because I disagree with things Biden/Harris did doesn’t mean I’m a Trumper on the issue. A huge percentage of our country are independents like me who will form opinions which may differ from the party line of either party,

Can you imagine if there was a candidate who shared our views that actually made it through a primary. It would be a landslide in the general election.
The polar extremes of both parties really make it tough to find pragmatic solutions supported by most people.
That, and people seem to have forgotten about the microchip shortage resulting in supply chain issues driving prices up. Trump should have guarded against this and made sure we had an ample supply of domestic microchips.*
* the last sentence is BS but it is something MAGA people would say.
Hopefully his brother will care for him and take over posting on his account full time after his impeding breakdown.
When you want to run, let me know. I will be your running mate.
Our slogan will be: Make America Sane Again.

From time to time I have thought about throwing my hat in the ring. There are two problems: I won’t join a political party and someone probably has pictures of my college…ummm…indiscretions.

Don't call that poseur/fake "Natural"
The ground game thing is absolutely true, but it absolutely predates Lara Trump. Trump himself massively decimated the state parties with the whole "Stop the Steal" effort, in which party coffers were drained with fruitless demonstrations and lawsuits and schemes. Worse yet, anyone at the state Republican level that dared suggest the election hadn't been stolen, and resources should be reserved/directed to something more productive got the purge. So a lot of regular, experienced, effective (and conservative!) state operators got drummed out of state Republican parties, leaving behind nutbars, rookies and grifters. The ground game has been shit, much of it turned over to shady third party GOTV vendors instead of the volunteer armies that are way more effective, yet require a lot of sophisticated organization and human resource capital to recruit and organize.
Pennsylvania was absolutely one of the worst, least effective state parties after the Stop the Steal shenanigans, so ironic and not at all surprising that it may come down to that.
It is absolutely possible that the ground game deficiencies are enough to cost Trump the election, and the blame goes nowhere but at his own feet.
This is precisely what Project2025 will turn your federal government into: a multi-trillion dollar grift.
Endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States — National Security Leaders for America
Kamala Harris will make an excellent Commander-in-Chief, while Mr. Trump has proven he is not up to the job. Effective leadership requires in-depth knowledge, careful deliberation, understanding of your adversaries, and empathy for those you lead. Our endorsement is an act of patriotism and an endor

Compared to the guy who was fired 4 years ago, Broke a bunch of shit in a temper tantrum on the way out, stole a bunch of company information and then comes back not even saying my bad just applies and demands to get his job back.
Board MAGAs scared?
More like Trump's America Those police were acting on Governor Walz’s orders. That’s reality. I prefer the government focus on pursuing rioters themselves.

Boy, talk about looking for non-existent silver linings...you have really bought the bullshit...
You know, as a general matter, if they only made cameras with wide angle lenses, I wouldn't object.
And this is Georgia, where the Republican party pretty well held together and is effective under Kemp. But Trump refused to play nice with Kemp and sync up with Kemp's political machine until the 11th hour, because, well because Trump is a moron and the Stop the Steal stuff. If he hadn't gone to useless idiotic war with Kemp, he'd have had one of the better state orgs backing him up there.
I think Georgia is one of the states where the Trump org is using some third party GOTV provider. Which is probably some kind of grift and just moving money from the campaign into some other crony's pockets.
