Harris is going to run the 2024 version of Biden's successful 2020 basement strategy. Keep out of sight, redefine her as a moderate, avoid taking any firm positions on issues (other than abortion), and let political surrogates and the captive media campaign for her along with broadcasting constant negative messages about the opposition. And hope it works again. Once elected assume the Presidency for Obama's 4th term.

All Trump needs to do is stick with attacking this administrations record and point out Harris presents nothing new beyond thst record of failure. The country is in worse shape now than it was in 2019. Prices have risen 20-25 percent on average. Crime us up. Consumers are stressed, etc. Avoid the personal attack stuff. Stick to facts and figures. But we all know he won't because that is who he is and that's just turns off voters.

And now we've got bigger problems with Iran/Hezbollah. Take the loss here and move on.

You can't trust anything this liar says. What he lacks in honesty he also lacks in self awareness. We all know he's lying but he still does it.

More weapons won't do much good without troops to use them. Zelensky needs to increase conscription or coerce men of military age that fled the country to return. Neither is likely or popular. Otherwise, the only path to victory at this point is direct NATO or US intervention. Given other areas of potential conflict I can't see the administration or the Pentagon supporting that commitment. What the Europeans might do is up to them but direct intervention would be unpopular and costly. The most likely path will be some deal which cedes the ethnic Russian provinces or grants them complete independence from Kiev. Crimea will likely remain in Rusian possession. As it's been for hundreds of years before Kruschev transfered it to Ukraine in the 1950's. Ukraine will be granted EU membership. What happens with NATO membership, not sure. Like it or not that looks like what's going to happen.

If you're familiar with the hiring process and interviewing prospective job hires,all this feigning of praise is equivalent to the art of resume writing where job candidates tout themselves with god-like skills and experience. But upon inspection it proves to be much different. There's nothing extraordinary about Harris. It's all fake.

Like the Pretorian Guard surrounded and protected the Emperor, the American media has set up a parameter around VP Harris. It's the equivalent of Joe Biden's successful basement strategy during the 2020 COVID campaign which proved quite effective. "Playing not to lose the game" is a term most should be familiar with here and hoping the other guy makes the big mistakes is the strategy once again. She gets a nice bounce here, but I think an economy sinking into the stretch and difficult challenges internationally are serious headwinds for her campaign. A Fed rate cut in September might be too little too late and this week's decision to not cut rates is a major policy blunder which I expect will lead to a nasty market crash into the fall. Then all those crowing about how Biden has helped their 401K balances will be hit by the lightning bolt of reality. All other issues aside, as Jame Carville said years ago, "its the economy stupid"!

The people elected Chavez and his successor Maduro. Playing socialist identity politics. More free stuff in exchange for their freedoms. Now they won't relinquish power and fix elections. That's pretty much it.

I'm pretty confident this administration won't do much of anything beyond the standard we're monitoring the situation closely comments. Biden doesn't know where he is and Harris doesn't know where Venezuela is but is pretty sure its on planet Earth somewhere. With three or four balls in the air at once, Ukraine, Gaza (and maybe Hezbollah and Iran), Taiwan, and now Venezuela along with an election campaign to run taking any kind of action is too risky for November's outcome.

While playing the game with the lead at this point, the RNC leadership is concerned they're going to have to find more creative and extreme measures in order to blow the election in November.

People that are against voter identification laws that claim its discriminatory are actually motivated to allow ineligible voters because getting their preferred candidate elected is dependent on illegal voting. Using the social justice angle here is a con.

If seen this. In regular people language this means he'll declare a series of executive orders on day one to shut the border, reverse Biden administration energy policy, and other disastrous initiatives. What's weird is Biden appointing a bald guy with red lipstick wearing a women's dress stealing people's luggage at the airport.

Why would there be? They were an assortment of neocons and never Trumpers that worked to sabotage the administration and its a mystery why he selected them, and throw in Pence too.

Well you're certainly not. And all I'm waiting for is one of you geniuses that actually believes Trump is going to transition to a dictator if he wins to tell me exactly how he pulls it off. Come on. Details, Who else is in on the scheme? Generals? Billionaires? The Illuminati? I'm waiting, Anybody? Just a couple sentences. A few steps to the plan. Anything? Tell us how its going to happen. Otherwise you're just repeating bogus talking points. Its not a threat to democracy. Its a threat to democrats.

The common theme eludes your response. Jesus was persecuted because he was a threat to power. Like him or hate him, Trump presents a similar threat. I'm certainly not comparing Trump to Jesus on a personal character or behavior level.

They're saying she has a serious drinking problem.

More or less agree with one exception. Losing our freedoms. I'm curious how you think our freedoms will be taken away? Is Trump going to revoke the constitution? Overthrow our system of government and install some sort of dictatorship? In his first term in office he couldn't even run a functional administration, was constantly sabotaged from inside and outside his administration, got impeached twice, and yet he's going to pull off some sort of takeover once elected? Why can't he just do it without winning the election? I constantly hear the mantra of threats to democracy but nobody can articulate the specific threat or how he's going to pull it off. In order to become some supreme dictator you need a few things. The support of the military and federal agencies to enforce the change. Boots on the ground to suppress the push back and resistance that always follows such actions. You'll going to have to kill and arrest a lot of people. Is he going to do that on his own? Do people think the military will back Trump's coup attempt? Why didn't they back him in 2020? What government agencies, filled with democrats are going to back Trump? Are his old and out of shape supporters going to form citizen militias to provide the muscle? That doesn't seem like it would work out to well. It sounds more like the plot of a situation comedy. I think all the talk about threats to democracy mean threats to the democrats losing power. They're trying to scare the voters to keep them in power. I don't think they've done anything to deserve another 4 years. They can't run on their accomplishments the past 4 years because there aren't any. Our country can't survive another 4 years, especially with a dunce like Harris. But I'm also not excited about another 4 years of Trump. The choice between the two is like picking the cleanest Pig in the mud hole. Its like somebody asking you if you prefer death by the electric chair or the gas chamber.

Jesus was a convicted felon too.

They'll just fake the crossing numbers like they do the monthly jobs reports.

It failed because all it would do is provide the administration cover so they can say they did something while they ignore the provisions of the border bill and don't enforce any limits. They've been ignoring the law and US security needs from day 1 of Biden's Presidency so why start now? They weren't fooling anybody.

This is getting complicated. First the action with Hezbollah is escalating. Soon the woke protesters will need to get Hezbollah costumes to compliment their Palestinian garb for their death to America, death to Israel, death to anybody we don't like, protests. And if Turkey acts and Israel responds by attacking Turkey does that invoke NATO article 5 and is the US now obligated to attack Israel in the defense of Turkey? An attack on one is an attack on all, right?

Another problem was a lack of confidence that the administration would actually enforce the limit rather than fudge the numbers on actual crossings.

I enjoy your snippets of history and your perspective on them but find it curious why your view of present events lacks the same objective and clear observations.

In this case it was the incumbent that cheated. Opposite of USA 2020.

Because Asians as a collective group have been more successful at achieving the "American Dream" than other minorities they are considered to be "White Supremacist" adjacent. So their voices do not matter to the liberals running the major cities.
