By far the Dem weakest point especially with Kamala is the border. Dispelling that narrative will lessen the effectiveness of that attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilgore Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 1 hour ago, Gurn said: I'd like to have seen Katie Porter get an honourable mention, though I admit she is still a bit light on experience. Maybe next time. Of this list- I'd lean to Gretchen Whitmer- after the grief she went through, she would be very, very, highly motivated to keep Drumpf out of office. I can respect both of those choices for VP. But playing politics to win means facing reality. Putting out a female for President is already somewhat politically risky. We don't just have to look back to 2016 to know that. And she is black as well? Unfortunately there is still a bigoted segment in the US (and Canada) that might vote Democrat, but not if that's the candidate. She must win them over too. But two women on the ticket gives the Republicans their counter attack on a plate.....the woke and uppity feminazis are taking over! I think they will take a white male to politically balance the overall package. Just how it is. I like Josh Shapiro myself 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dem gov in a deeply red state is a pretty powerful gig I think you nailed it Stawnzy ,. Why give up or mess with a good base for the Dems , Also where your excelling as a Governor cutting your teeth. This entire move (Joe stepping aside) , has actually happened because of what was perceived to be a weakness that “Clown Party” was trying to exploit ,. has blown up in their faces. Anyone know how much they’ve spent attacking Biden/ Bidens to date ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin has been doing this since the 90’s , and with the invention of the www. / internet/ social media , he destabilizes the World . This Planet has lost 30 years to that RuZ bastard in forward thinking For Mankind. I have no tolerance for these manipulators, terrorists, and murders… all of us should not . It is Sinister . What's scary is in the 1959 Richard Condon wrote "The Manchurian Candidate". Basically using right wing slogans, the Communists planned using hypnotized US Soldiers and corrupt officials that were actually to take over the US for the Communists to take over. Now 75 years later Russia has helped corrupt the US, UK, and other nations even worse than Condon could ever have dreamed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the destroyer of worlds Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: Major plot twist. I indicated in February they would switch Biden with Michelle Obama. However, I heard a new one today. Kamala Harris will pick Barack Obama to be her VP. Yes, apparently he can be a VP. And apparently he can even take over as President if Kamala can’t fulfill her duties. He just can’t be elected to a 3rd term. Hmmmm… The problem with this theory is it would definitely end up with SCOTUS. The 12th Amendment dictates that a vice president can not be selected if they are not eligible for president. The problem arrises with the 22nd ammendment which essentially bars Presidents from a 3rd term, or a vice president who inherited the Presidency for more than 2 years in the 1st term and then being reelected. Obama served 2 terms. He is ineligible to seek a 3rd term. The only way this works is if SCOTUS determine that the 12th only refers to the basics ( Over 35, natural born US Citizen) and that the 22nd doesn't also apply. Highly doubtful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so very important Kamala does not fuck this up with Netanyahu's visit. If there is one thing that turn off gen z harder than anything else it is the Gaza-Israeli issue where they are sick, tired and frankly disgusted with America's unconditional support of Israel that Biden had really leaned into. It is the one issue Harris have to distance herself from Biden if not outright go against him. She need to make sure to not even be in the same picture as Netanyahu at the very least. Better yet, she need to publicly gave a statement along the lines that continued US support will depend on Israel recognizing a two state solution, given Israel outright voted against ever having a Palestinian state, and ending of occupation of the west bank that the ICJ declared as illegal and an apartheid.

I think the problem is that a vp that gets more than 2 years if they take over kills one term as per the 22nd. He could technically get that 3rd term. That's why they would have to rule on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what Kamala has to do with Netanyahu. If Netanyahu is meeting anyone, it would be the president, and that's still Biden. Biden is the president until January 20, 2025, so he has six more months of work ahead of him before he leaves office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is gen z dislike what Israel is doing and having any semblance of friendly association with him will be detrimental to the youth vote. It is already a major reason why Biden was polling horrendously against Trump. The worst thing that can happen electorally is a picture of Kamala laughing or smiling with Netanyahu. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is already a major reason why Biden was polling horrendously against Trump. I see your point, but if those voters are turned off Harris, do you really think they're going to run towards Trump? Trump has been a vocal supporter of Netanyahu, while the Biden administration (including the VP) has tried to make him accountable for ending the conflict in Gaza. I could be wrong, but I don't see Biden or Harris conducting a love-in with Netanyahu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
