The American Politics Thread

Which is also why I deem Kamala a tad risky.  The coastal politics seem to have diverged a great deal from the swing states.  This is not a historical trend.  It's not so long ago that Bloomberg was the NYC mayor or Arnold was the California Governor (followed by Jerry Brown). I am not sure Kamala's politics are radically different from Brown but she positioned herself as far more to the Left to pick up votes in the Primary. That could come back to bite. Also why Gretchen Whitmer or Val Demings would have been more interesting picks, making it even harder for the 'Biden controlled by the loony left' accusation to stick.  Still, Kamala was a trigger happy AG and if ever there was a time to play that up, it's now. The same "proud of my record" defence that fell flat against Tulsi's attacks in the debate will serve Kamala well now.

It's not about what Trump would say but whether it can stick. The polling shows that so far it hasn't and Harris will bolster that perception, that Trump's attacks are little more than scare tactics.  Can't say that about Karen Bass. 

 

Why do you Trump supporters have such selective memories? Is it a way to support Trump without cringing?

Exactly. I thought of that also. I think that would be the case if they want them to lose and they probably would. Lol.

Oh come on, you can't be that naive.   That's politics, it's how the game is played.   And then Trump talks about "the terrible things she said about Biden".   Really?   That's like Paul McCartney calling Paul Simon "a sellout".
