The Kamala Harris Thread

Published

Democrats are excited about Harris and as of this writing she's raised 100 million dollars since Biden announced he was dropping out and throwing his support behind her.

Quote

"Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don't think very highly of her. They don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris' name in Republican circles, people laugh. It's immediately a punchline," Cruz said Monday on his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz." 

Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an "historic" candidate.

Kamala Harris is a refreshing contrast to Trump's childish baloney.  

And she pledges to be president for all Americans, not just the ones who vote for her.

KYW Radio: Republican women from around the country focus on Pennsylvania to get Kamala Harris elected president

"The primary goal is to defeat Trump,” says Stephanie Sharp, a Republican from Kansas.

She didn't start out campaigning for Kamala Harris. Harris wasn't even the candidate yet when she helped start Women 4 Us. But she knew she wasn't alone in her concerns about what could happen to American democracy and reproductive rights in a second Trump term.

Sharp was worried enough that she went to Washington, D.C., for a meeting of fellow Republicans in February, and she realized Republican women, in particular, shared her concerns.

"Lack of respect for the institutions of government. Women are the ones that run our households and businesses and schools, and so we're very much institutionalists; following the rules. There are rules in place for a reason.”

The founders are from red states so they've targeted swing states, and they've focused on Pennsylvania as the largest swing state, sending out surveys and using the data for targeting get-out-the-vote efforts.

Newsweek: Donald Trump is Like a 'Disturbed' Teenager: Admiral William McRaven
 

Quote

...The retired Navy four-star admiral gave several examples of Trump's unpresidential antics, including his recent joke about the manhood of golf legend Arnold Palmer.

"These are things a disturbed 15-year-old boy would do, not the commander in chief, not the man who holds the nuclear codes, not the leader of the free world," McRaven said.

"You may not like her policies, her followers or her vision for America, but Ms. Harris won't threaten the press, demean immigrants, mock those who have died for the country, break with our allies, or undermine the Constitution," McRaven added.

We've been getting Republican mailers 2-3 daily for 2 independent sons --goes right from mailbox to recycling trash can. While daily getting a phone call from Democrats to confirm sons voting and candidate preference as Dems ground game is to check PA's voting record daily since PUBLIC RECORD --call those without record listed; not one Republican has called.

That's such a baloney "pledge".  Politicians of all persuasions have said similar things over the years.   

It's simply not possible.  And Harris couldn't care less about how those of us who have opposite views feel.

But if the pledge makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, no skin off my nose.

I don't understand how you know what Harris cares about. 

Yeah, pledges are nice, but I'll settle for a president who understands how tariffs work and doesn't pal around with dictators.

It's easy to know what Harris cares about and doesn't care about. 

Look at the last 4 years. 

Eminem was at her rally "paling" around her who regularly raps about violence against women and gays. Yeah, he's not a fascist.

It was pretty funny.  

The losers didn't bother with their supporters.

Now almost 9am on the east coast.  Still no Harris/Walz sightings?

Sources are saying her concession speech will be this evening.  When it was clear she was losing her watch party was encouraged to go home and that she would be making a statement on Wednesday.   

Is there a problem?  One thing is that she is going to call Trump and she is going to concede.  

What's funny to me is that a Fox News host Dana Perino chided her for not conceding immediately when Trump never conceded.  Just can't make this stuff up.

I'm not saying she necessarily needed to concede.  But she should have at least spoken to the folks who showed up and stayed there for hours.   I imagine she was there, or at least a short police escorted ride away. 

It's not surprising.   The elected liberal elites don't give a you know what about us regular folks.

As far as Trump not conceding, in 2020 we didn't have a winner on election night.
