Donald Trump literally lost as the incumbent and came back and won. Kamala Harris is more than capable of winning.

Ain't no damn way a black woman is winning the presidency.

She got the second most votes ever for a Dem.

She got 5 million more votes that Obama did his first time.  Are you suggesting that makes her more popular?

That's a pretty silly stat considering that she lost.   The recent high vote totals don't indicate popularity.  A lot of people have voted in the last two elections because of mail-in voting.

Combined with the fact there were 30 million more eligible voters in 2024 than 2008

She got more votes than Trump got in 2020. Dems had a candidate that defeated Trump and got the most votes ever but decided to throw him under the bus and expect Harris to win an election in 107 days.

Not for anything related but I have a feeling that at least part of the reason Spanberger won big in Virginia last fall was because the Republican candidate was a woman of color. Not to mention a horrible candidate. A white male would have at least made the race interesting

So galling that this kind of thing kills one party when it happen to them, but strengthens the other party when it happens to them.

So at least one of the Swalwell accusers has ties to Katie Porter.  Surely that's just a coincidence I guess.
