    So? It’s just a dumb thing to say. You dish this person out as a source of credibility?

    Yes, let's drag out Blagojevich's hot take on this. He's sure to earn your approval.

    We do have to consider the expertise of a guy who tried to sell a Senate seat on the topic of succession in political office.

    Love Harris or hate her, but there is no doubt the political narrative has changed big time.
    Trump is now the old almost 80 yr old fumbling candidate while Harris represents the next generation. Have to think the dem base has gone from depressed to energized.
    Will be interesting to see who her VP is and how Trump reacts to his new opponent. I'm guessing the cute name calling will quickly surface.

    Just one of many convicted or under investigation criminals to speak at the RNC, just like their nominee.

    I don't think that is going to work out so well. Biden was asked to step down because he was clearly compromised mentally. And Harris isn't exactly a spring chicken herself, she will be 60 by election day and 68 if she elected to 2 terms.

    A new generation needs to be millennials, which still have 20+ years before the collect Medicare. Young isn't someone that can collect SS in 2 years.

    Here is the whole speech. She doesn’t knock it out of the park but is nonetheless a solid B

    Lol... only in a Dem's mind can a person fail repeatedly in business and become a billionaire. You only wish you could accomplish such "failure."

    Do you think this stupid argument that the Democratic candidate was nOt dEmOcAtIcAlLy eLeCtEd is going to persuade anybody to vote differently?

    What happened to “we are not a Democracy we are a Republic” that I keep hearing from your peeps?

    Give Trump credit for

    - Getting about a billion from his daddy
    - Repeatedly duping bankers over and over to loan him money which they never got back
    -being probably the best ever at losing other people’s money
    - Resourcefully finding new financing sources (the Russians) after bankers bailed on him
    - Finally figuring out he sucks at business and instead created a Robin Leach style billionaire brand stereotype
    -parlaying that Brand into becoming a reality TV star.

    Donald Trump got rich by pretending to be a rich business man. The truth is there are very few Americans that have LOST as much money as Donald Trump

    Kamala is not much better than a senile Biden. Trump will eat her alive. Dems need to push someone that will take votes away from Donald, not just make some Dems vote for her.

    I lol’d at Trump will eat her alive. Trump is a horrible debater and will get destroyed by someone like Harris who will call out his blatant and obvious lies. Anyone with a pulse will beat Trump in a debate when he can’t push his agenda and be allowed to get away with it.

    His daddy gave him the modern day equivalent of $300million and saved his inept management of trump casino with more money.

    Has anybody compared his net worth to what he would be worth if he invested all of the money that daddy gave him in the S&P 500 recently? Last I found was in 2021, where his net worth was lower than he would have had if he just didn't work and put it into passive investing.
