Hillary had 30 years of Republican and media attacks against her, Harris doesn't have that. I get that Harris fizzled out in the primary before Iowa, but Biden fizzled out twice in primaries before become President.
At this point, you have all the major people in the party now privately telling Biden they don't see a path forward for him. I do think he drops out now. I didn't a few days or a week ago, but now I think he does. I think Biden should work with Harris to help vet and select the next VP if/when he does drop out. I think Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro should be at the top of the list, followed by our Governor Gretchen Whitmer. I think that puts the midwest battleground states in play for Democrats and gives us a chance to hit the reset button with a fresh, younger face of our party.
I don't like the guy, but MyKevin really went after Matt Gaetz on CNN last night. He should have been this fiesty when he was Speaker and they went after him.
National polling means little in the end. Yeah, I've shared national polls on here too, but they don't matter because we don't have a popular vote. The stupid electoral college makes the battleground state polling more relevant than national polls and we're not 1 point behind in swing state polls.
A sobering and moving ad on abortion out just today from the Biden campaign. The ad features the same young women that was featured in an ad for Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear. This young women was raped by her stepfather and impregnated by him. We have to win for all sorts of reasons this November. We have to win for the future of young women like Hadley Duvall of Kentucky.
So the real angle to hit Trump and Vance on is that they are phony politicians, who don't really give a crap about the working and middle class and only care about serving themselves. I could see that being a successful angle to campaign on.
How come God is all powerful, all knowing, and all loving and yet never stops to intervene on wars, diseases, famines, terrorists attacks, school shootings, car crashes, firearm accidents, and on?
I think Youngkin is his best choice and I could see it ending up being him. The Trump team may think they have a shot at Virginia with Youngkin on the ballot.
What are the odds it gets successfully appealed and the case goes before a new judge post appeal? Can that legally happen or would Cannon stay on a a judge?
If God was watching out for Trump why didn't he watch out for that Firefigther and father who was there and protected his daughter? Why didn't God look out for that man's life?
Remember, folks on the right want MORE people with guns. They want to make it EASIER for an individual to obtain any style of firearm. They OPPOSE background checks, mental health screenings, and red flag laws. Their theory of the case on the gun violence reality we all live with is that a good guy with a gun always or almost always stops a bad guy with a gun and if only we had more armed civilians that we'd all be safer.
The mental health argument after tragic shootings often rings hollow when you realize Republican lawmakers attempted to cut mental health budgets and services. It rings hollow when they refuse to expand healthcare coverage like not expanding Medicaid as apart of the ACA. There is a clear need for an expansion of preventative mental health services and screenings in this country and yet frequently when lawmakers make even modest attempts to expand coverage and services, you have Republican elected leaders and their supporters out deriding it as socialism and an evil government takeover. That has to change.
I don't like the guy one bit, not one. But political violence has NO PLACE in our country or our society. This should be and will be fully condemned by almost everyone, unlike January 6th.
