    What can she run on? Being second fiddle to a corpse with a horrble approval rating? Her failure in her role in dealing with the border crisis?

    Please enlighten me on who she is able to sway over or bring back on board those who have lost confidence in Joe Biden?

    Totally disagree with this. Reagan had already been nominated before the choice for VP was made, so that in itself refutes your post. Read this article:

    George Herbert Walker Bush; The Accidental Vice President (Published 2000)

    Basically, Reagan would not agree with Ford's demands for a "co-presidency". Bush agreed to support Reagan's entire platform. Bush became the VP choice for Reagan.

    she isn't trump
    she isn't losing the battle with age that Biden is

    Personally agree she isn't qualified or the best candidate but she is better than either djt or Biden at this point

    ahhh, & that folks is how the BIGGEST GOV president of our lifetimes* got his start to unprecedented taxin', spendin' & debt explodin'....but, but, there's more. He increased protected industries by 100% over Carter. gee, I wonder why American manufacturing crashed out. Protectionism ultimately weakens.

    * many, many stats support this, but here folks is the humdinger. Ronnie BIG GOV Reagan increased our debt by 160.8%. Damn. That crushes George W. in 2nd place, who only grew it by 72.6%.

    Miraculously, to this very day, pubs - pubs who claim to be for limited gov - unironically, barf up shit like "Reagan conservatism" & "Reagan conservative". GOOD GOD! With limited gov 'ike 'at who needs Hugo Chavez?

    we have been setting record after record this summer for air travel. Seems like other than crowdstrike, it has went remarkably well. Remind me again which department is in charge of that and who runs it?

    It is young when you're running against a guy that will be in his 80s if elected and already mumbling and forgetting names/places.

    She is not Trump. She is not Biden. That’s the platform.

    That may work. She is going to have to become likeable though. Shes not really that great of a speaker and not that relateable. However, if she can distance herself from Biden and appeal to a lot of people, especially independents, she can take Trump down. Its just going to be hard to change your spots so quickly though. We shall see.

    That helps for a lot of people sure. However, a lot of people believe the charges are either bogus, extremely late or politically motivated. Either way you guys have the problem that a lot of people, even independents like Trump as a president more than they like Biden. Kamala has to get away from his stinch and somehow become likeable. The problem is she has to inspire people to come and vote and "because Trump" just isn't hitting like it did in 2020. Just the facts. BTW, I didn't vote for him in 2016, or 2020 and I wouldn't vote for him in 2024.

    Im not one of those who blame it completely on any side nor do I blame it solely on Kamala. Mayorkas has a big hand in it and Biden does too. The amount of illegal immigrants has more than doubled since he has been president. You can check my history I've always advocated for an easy road to citizenship for the illegal immigrants we have in this country now that are law abiding and productive members of the country. However, allowing over 10 million undocumented people in ANY country is a recipe for disaster.

    Fair enough.

    And if the people of America are foolish and amoral enough to elect a lying, convicted felon, serial adulterer, adjudicated and self-admitted sexual assaulter, who stole classified documents and refused to return them, accepted help in an election from Russia, and enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election.....

    .....then that's what they will deserve.

    Other candidates were reluctant to run against the incumbent. As a result. Joe was unopposed in many places, including Florida. We didn't even have a Dem primary in Florida.

    Joe did a great job, but his physical and mental decline became apparent. A change had to be made. Simple as that.

    Only Republicans refer to it as the "Democrat Party".
