Shut up Harris, you slept your way to the top!

 

Who do I look like?  Melania?

 

Melania sold herself.  She's an incredibly high priced hooker.  No shame intended to her.   She's gotten smart though.  She keeps getting Donny to rewrite their prenup.  I give her definite credit for that.

The clearances issue won't go far, but if she talks about that $2 Billion that Jared Kushner got, that definitely will.  That is so incredibly suspect, I'm surprised it hasn't been investigated with a fine-toothed comb yet.

 

Harris also has the advantage of not having much known about her by the general public.  That's the curse and blessing for a VP.

People keep bringing up how she's not well liked or doesn't have a good public image.

 

Who cares.

 

She needs to lean in to that IMO

 

A good campaign or communications manager for her will be able to absolutely destroy the GOP any any of their talking points against her.

 

Not well liked?  Who cares, don't have to be I get the job done.

 

Slept my way to the top?  Who am I melania?  How's that pornstar hush money going?  Does your son know where you were when Melania was squeezing him out?

 

Family image.  Ya so I don't really have one.  But hey, my kids didn't get rich while I was in office did they.  Why did Jared make $2 billion from the Saudis again and what really did happen with Kashogi?

 

Not tough enough on crime.  Don't worry honey, I have a lifetime of experience of putting down rapists and pedophiles, which is exactly why i'm the right person to run against you.

 

Seriously, she'd fucking destroy his entire campaign by just leaning in to her background and trolling the GOP.

I think you under estimate how many people are desperate to not vote for trump

I agree.

 

People are over complicating this.

 

The fundamental truth of this election is America want anyone other than Trump or Biden. Guess what we now have someone that ain't Trump or Biden. 

 

People complain about the economy all the time and rarely do they vote in their best interest financialy.

One has to wonder what she has on Trump besides that prenup theat she keeps getting him to rewrite that contract.

 

It can't just be money because as we all know, he wrote the art of the deal right.

 

So what does she know

To be fair, the Dems *did* manage to secure an agreement with the GOP in the Senate to enact some kind of legislation on that but the GOP in Congress voted it down.

True. It is a certainty that the DNC will bear the brunt of the border situation. IMHO Biden should have moved the army in to stabilize the situation. It would have allowed the government to show definitive action even with GOP non co-operation. I suspect the Republican governor of Texas would have supported such a move.

So Pritzker, Whitmer, and Newsome all endorsed Harris. So I guess that is wrapped up. 

 

AOC also endorsed Harris so there is the progressive wing also. 

 

Dem have definitely united very quickly.

She better not use the same people that tried to make Hillary likable.  Those people failed.

 

She shouldn't also "slut-shame" Melania.  That could dampen enthusiasm for her with progressives.

 

Anyone that tries and uses crime against her should be fired.  She's a prosecutor.

 

I think all she needs to do is hurt Trump in the debates that they're likely going to have in sept. and oct.   I will be surprised if Trump can even pull out a draw in those.

Good point.  I never considered that.  She has to know "where the bodies are buried".

Those campaigns are equal, imo.  Back then, no one knew what Trump was.......he was just their favourite reality star.  Now, everyone knows what's behind that curtain.

I'm not disputing that.  He's well known now, warts and all.

 

They should still try and make Harris more likable.  Every swing state vote counts.  Learn from Hillary's mistakes, and don't use her people.

Oh, I agree completely.  I do think this lack of "likeability" is due, more, to her just not being known outside of the second name on the ticket.

While we know you're right.  There's the risk of making her look desperate.  Likeability is; imo only, a bit more played up than it needs to be.  Even trumps own people dislike him but they consider him effective.

 

All harris has to do is win and that doesn't necessarily mean making friends to do it

This USSS hearing is just tedious at this point.  As usual, the politicians are trying to score points and the director is, as usual, stonewalling whenever she can.  Just put together an investigative commission already.  That's where this is all headed anyways.

She should be desperate.  She has 4 months to do 18 months of work.

There are few friends in Washington.  Just like with Hollywood, there are opportunistic leeches.

Biden already did that. The GOP and maga didn't care cause he wasn't being cruel towards migrants.

There are plenty of skeletons in Trump's closet that I'm sure she knows a few things about.  What I'd like to know is if she has any dirt on Ivana's death and what Melanie knows about the secrets Ivana has buried with her (both literally and figuratively).  :classic_ninja:

I have decided i like Kamala as the pick.

 

She seems tough...a lot tougher than Trump.

 

Yep, I now think she has a good shot. Dems didnt need a soft, kind , understanding candidate. They needed a bad ass.

 

Good slogan @Bob Long

 

Prosecutor vs Felon.

 

LFG!

I wish I had the old fashioned movie audio clip that went "duh duh duuuuhhh".  It would be perfect for this.  😂

Can't take credit for it, but it works pretty well I think.

 

It's both true, and defines things quickly.

She shouldnt even acknowledge Melania exists. Theyre not in the same stratosphere.

 

Melania is a mail order product. Kamala is VP of the USA.

 

As much as I wouldn't touch Melania with a stranger's dangly bits let alone my own, I don't blame her for trying to get a better life for herself and her family.  That she had to sleep with Trump to do it, is a job in and of itself.

 

I can't put her down for it.

DJT might though.  Especially if she isn't careful how she treads moving forward (if in fact she decides to use skeletons in the closet as her bargaining chip).

I can. Integrity is very high on my list.  She could have done a million other things to help her familly vs selling out her body and life to a pig. 

 

It's gross. But she doesn't matter and I would hope Kamala treats her as such.
