&lt;i&gt;Donald definitely hasn&#039;t taken advantage of kamala&#039;s policy inexperience, instead falling into sinkholes of racism and misogyny. &lt;/i&gt;

Policy inexperience!? As opposed to who? Donald Trump!?

Also, sinkholes are caused by water erosion; Trump&#039;s holes are manmade wherein Donald cannot stop himself from digging. Big difference.</description>

		<description>@jfc,
don&#039;t be silly, Donald never wrote anything in his life. certainly somebody wrote rfkj&#039;s speech, maybe a maga devotee, maybe not. which is essentially the same question i posed.</description>

		<description>Sensing that he&#039;s Losing, Fat Donny may just turn the weirdness up to 11 by hiring the man with the Worm-eaten Brain who carts animal carcasses around in his car for no good reason. Keep you fingers crossed for RFK Jr.</description>

&lt;i&gt; Kamala has a tighter needle to thread and a broader coalition to corral. she&#039;s done splendidly so far, but all it takes is one big slip-up for her to lose momentum and not end up winning. the aftermath of biden&#039;s debate shows just how fickle the liberal coalition actually is.&lt;/i&gt;












More incorrect Conventional Wisdom, here. 






Kamala has multiple paths to win the Electoral College aka the only race that matters. DonOLD has a very narrow path to victory and lots of things have to break his way just like in 2016.









Have you watched Trump in action lately? The guy is not 2016 nor even 2020 Trump and he’s not all there. So just what could Kamala do to get enough people to jump ship to Trump? Trump never hit 50% approval. 









Do you mean the fickle liberal coalition that rallied to Biden’s side in 2020? The one that showed up election after election since 2018? They’re not going to vote Democrat they’ll stay home or maybe even vote Trump?











Biden’s age became a manufactured or not issue in his first year and then he looked old and feeble and not able to fight. The calls for Joe to step aside were only a sprinkling in the weeks after. Joe read the writing on the wall and cemented his reputation for all time and pulled the plug. And this fickle liberal coalition jumped aboard the Kamala bandwagon along with all corners of the party. 









If that’s fickle support I’d love to see what strong support looks like.














Politics in Murica doesn’t with like it used to, Brother. Trump sucks but he changed what people expect to hear from politicians. He made reading the fine print a necessity and deeds not just words a new creed.</description>

		<description>The fear at the back of my mind is that Kamala, like Hillary, could win the popular vote and yet lose the Electoral College. 

There are people in places like Arizona trying to ensure that, through vote suppression and other means.</description>

		<description>[10] You and your Dems had better be worried. Big Orange has pivoted to policy now that the DNC is over. Just a little while ago, he posted this bombshell announcement on his failing, fake Twitter thing:

&lt;i&gt;My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; Donald definitely hasn&#039;t taken advantage of kamala&#039;s policy inexperience…&lt;/i&gt;







Trump &lt;b&gt;doesn’t have any policies whatsoever &lt;/b&gt;and the MSM doesn’t even try to ask him policy related questions. Harris the Veep, Senator of California and State AG before that is famous for evisceration. Trump’s foreign policies are loving Putin and fully legal bribes. 









I fear that this presents symptoms of the dreaded &lt;i&gt;Democratic hand wringing syndrome.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

&lt;i&gt; if I had the chance to quantum leap into one or the other (attractiveness issues notwithstanding), Donald would absolutely be in a better position to win. if he were to suddenly stop acting like a total jackass, there are a LOT of conservative types who would get on board, while his MAGA devotees would presume that he was just acting.&lt;/i&gt;












Yes, of course! [smacking my own head] I totally forgot about the part where this exact same 2020 coalition tallied 74 million votes! Nobody has ever seen those kind of numbers for an incumbent President!








Poet I’m glad I’m not the only Weigantian here who secretly cannot accept the “fact” that Joe Effing Biden got 81 million votes.












Oh yeah, you’re joking about Trump getting a personality transplant, right? Elon Musk hasn’t figured that out just yet. Otherwise he would finally have a decent personality himself</description>

		<description>78 year old convicted felon and dipshit Fat Donny decided to attack Coach Walz on his failing, fake Twitter thing last night.

&lt;i&gt;Walz was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH.&lt;/i&gt;

Short Fingers showed just what an out-of-touch ignoramus he really is in just 8 words. Aside from the fact that the word coach is right there in the title of &lt;I&gt;ASSISTANT coach&lt;/i&gt;, he also demonstrates that his know-nothingness extends to sports for all to see.

It&#039;s fun watching Republicans cede love of country and football to the Dems for their weird and unrelatable Dear Leader.</description>

		<description>@caddy,

that&#039;s an interestingly phrased question. Donald definitely hasn&#039;t taken advantage of kamala&#039;s policy inexperience, instead falling into sinkholes of racism and misogyny. if I had the chance to quantum leap into one or the other (attractiveness issues notwithstanding), Donald would absolutely be in a better position to win. if he were to suddenly stop acting like a total jackass, there are a LOT of conservative types who would get on board, while his MAGA devotees would presume that he was just acting.

Kamala has a tighter needle to thread and a broader coalition to corral. she&#039;s done splendidly so far, but all it takes is one big slip-up for her to lose momentum and not end up winning. the aftermath of biden&#039;s debate shows just how fickle the liberal coalition actually is.</description>

		<description>Okay, so which untapped voting block has Trump attracted since November, 2020? Trump was pulling 80 to 85% during the primaries &lt;i&gt;and that means 15 to 20% of Republicans reject Trump even after Haley dropped out.&lt;/i&gt;







Independents? Trump made it clear on J6 that only his primary victory should count, not the general election. Independents would be voting their rights away. Women? Yeah, right. BIPOCs and the queer community**? Suuure.









You guys are worrying about nothing. Landslide for Kamala is way more likely that Trump slips in somehow.

		<description>I&#039;m certainly hopeful, but at the moment I don&#039;t know if I can bring myself to be joyful. there&#039;s just this horrendous sense of foreboding. maybe. maybe. somehow I just don&#039;t feel it.</description>
