DNC Volunteer Finally Gets It, Says She Cannot Support Kamala, Not Sure If She Is Still Even a Democrat

I suspect many are feeling this way. The Democratic Party is way left of our Parents/Grandparents. WAAAY Left.

Wisconsin communities say No to Ballot Drop Boxes​

(The Center Square) – City councils in two Waukesha County municipalities, Brookfield and New Berlin, have voted to ban the use of ballot drop boxes in their cities for the upcoming general election, following a state Supreme Court ruling that reinstated municipalities’ right to utilize the equipment.

I have asked Freak to issue you a full refund.

Calling someone a party hack in a political forum is not really an insult. That's especially true when they absolutely show it to be true with every post. As Pat Summitt used to say, Toughen up buttercup

Rules for thee but not for me...gotcha

 

[Delmar]

He absolutely should debate her for at least two big reasons:

1) It might be the only chance to get her positions on the record
2) She's the front runner. Trump needs to make up ground

She doesn't do well speaking off the cuff. Trump should push for lots of debates and criticize her when she refuses

On the other hand, she is a trained prosecutor who knows how to handle chronic liars on the stand. And she is a decent speaker especially with time to prepare. Just my opinion but I think Trump is taking a big chance debating her. If he acts like he usually does, there is a fair chance that he will panic, leave the script and go off the rails. And if he starts the personal attacks, he is going to make matters worse for himself among female and ethnic voters and independents. Didn’t have to worry about that with Biden.

I just think it would be a mistake to underestimate her. Biden is basically a vegetable and wasn’t quick enough to deal with the exaggerations. A decent prosecutor deals with liars and half truths every day. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he backs out. Might be smart if he did.

Wtf? Either quote a rule I've broken or drop it. If you can I'll double your refund

It’s been said since Bernie was pushed out. The progressives needed a party and the Trojan horse was the old dying liberal Democratic Party

 

[Septic]

It's definitely a personality class between the two. But so much that Trump is supposedly said has been proven false or verified. It's hard to say if what these people are saying is in fact truth or not it all comes down to your matter of opinion on whether or not they could be trusted. And so many of them that's all out our country is long before Donald Trump was elected that is hard to trust them.

LOL, OK man.

Your head is in the sand, I doubt there's much that would convince you that Trump is anything but the smartest, bestest, most qualified POTUS ever and that anything contrary is simply part of a bullsh*t commy fueled agenda of America hating libtards.

Keep blaming the media, it's super convincing.

Harris is a liar.

 

[Delmar]

That’s not a news flash. All politicians are liars to some extent. Trump is on a different level. And would you agree that he is prone to going off the rails when under pressure?

Trump isn't the greatest ever ..he the best option we have now...do you have any links not from left leaning sites...and you even have an article from 2016 where they are calling him a threat to democracy and given he isn't the POTUS and did relinquish the presidency kinda make those hollow..

I can't say that Trump is any worse of a liar than Harris. She's been in politics much longer than he has so odds are that she is a much bigger liar.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

That’s not a news flash. All politicians are liars to some extent. Trump is on a different level. And would you agree that he is prone to going off the rails when under pressure?

He’s not on another level. He just stands out as more of a liar because the media scrutinizes him more than all the other liars.

As far as going off the rails, yes, he’s an idiot and can go into personal insults mode in a split second whenever he feels attacked. On the flip side, Kamala doesn’t have the strongest debate record either. Pence mopped the floor with her in 2020, and she was below average at best in the Dem primary debates in 2020 as well.

Trump is enough of a whiner that I could see him not debating her which would essentially end his chances of winning. The corporate media for the most part has and will continue to paint the picture that Kamala is a great candidate as she very wisely runs her basement campaign. Trump’s only real opportunity to eviscerate the media’s narrative with the whole nation watching is to debate her and win decisively.

If Trump backs out of a debate with Kamala, he deserves to lose.

 

[Delmar]

I can't say that Trump is any worse of a liar than Harris. She's been in politics much longer than he has so odds are that she is a much bigger liar.

We don’t have to include Trump’s time in politics. Trump is a chronic and proven liar and has been as long as he has been in business. Lying to banks, bilking contractors, etc. I don’t need to go on and I’m not interested in who is the biggest liar.

I just expressed an opinion that he is taking a risk in debating her because I don’t think he is good at it when he gets a capable opponent. And I believe folks are underestimating her. He can do it at his own peril. I guess we’ll find out if he can handle it. Should be interesting.

 

[luthervol]

That’s not a news flash. All politicians are liars to some extent. Trump is on a different level. And would you agree that he is prone to going off the rails when under pressure?

Trump is on a different level. We are seeing his normalization which simply lowers the bar for everyone.

Fair enough. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. I just don’t think he has it in him to remain calm and measured like Pence did. And that’s where she’ll have an advantage.

I don't see any downside to Trump debating Harris. Neither will stay on topic, it will be a bunch of babbling and Harris is a flat out idiot. The biggest pitfall for Trump will be talking too much, if he can just stay away from personal insults and let her do most of the talking he'll mop the floor with her.

 

[luthervol]

It will be interesting, but ultimately will have nothing to do with discussions of policy. It will devolve into idiocy almost immediately. Harris simply needs to make sure that trump is the one who devolves most. Should be easy enough; he's incredibly easy to agitate.

 

[Majors]

On the other hand, she is a trained prosecutor who knows how to handle chronic liars on the stand. And she is a decent speaker especially with time to prepare.

She gets rattled easily and Trump will get to her early. Trump has made each candidate he’s debated drop out or he’s beaten head to head. Her background as prosecutor won’t matter when her own record will be on display, hence Tulsi taking her out in 30 seconds.

 

[Vol423]

Yikes

I'd say Jesus and his apostles might have a slight edge on Don.

She’ll try to get the one liner T-shirt moment and he’ll oblige. He’ll pressure her into her flip flopping and protecting Joe. Both will walk away with big moments and blunders.

Nobody remembers Hillary Trump debate except “because you’d be in jail”

 

[dovervolz]

I can't say that Trump is any worse of a liar than Harris. She's been in politics much longer than he has so odds are that she is a much bigger liar.

Ya'll are both wrong. Biden is the biggest liar ever to occupy the oval office and it's not even close. The liberal media just didn't have the balls to call him out on it and they shrugged if off on his dementia.

 

[Majors]

Yikes

Amazing only 18 seconds to be cut off when was going into the discussion of organized religion. Full context matters my guy.

 

[Majors]

So Biden is taking a vacation from a vacation from a “job” that he acted as if he has been on vacation for 4 years. All this while the world is on the verge of WWIII.

Anyone willing to bet if he mentions the disaster at Afghanistan that he/Harris orchestrated?

So, who’s running the country

 

[USF grad in TN]

She's trying to get the format changed to a prosecutor's comfort zone. She wants to be seated at a table with a team and stacks of paper so someone can pass her the planned response to every topic.

Which is a visual weakness to those watching and an easy target for being in over her head for the job.
