I think the Jim Crow laws that were passed in the South after the Civil War and lasted until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are more to blame than slavery itself.

If a debate against Kamala is the slam dunk you think it will be, then he would have accepted the rules he originally agreed to. If she is as "dumb" as people keep saying here and so horrible at thinking on her feet, then he has absolutely nothing to worry about, does he? So yes, he is scared because he knows she will mop the floor with him (so to speak).

You and I are not on the same team. That is not what my team asserts.

He may have, but it is his plan. At least 140 people who worked for him are involved. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/politics/trump-allies-project-2025/index.html He has tried to distance himself from it when people actually started reading what it said, but it is his wish list and it has his fingerprints all over it.

No, the left is not arguing that we have to have DEI because of slavery. That is a laughable assertion.

What are you suggesting by that? Who has said that a political opponent should be eliminated by "any means necessary"

So what. That was in 1826 and in 1817. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kamala-harris-ancestor-slaves/ Who cares that someone in her family owned slaves about 200 years ago?

Guess you are not familiar with Project 2025. Take the time to actually read what Trump is planning for a second term.

It sure seems genuine on social media, and it is not from a bunch of bots on Twitter, it is from rank and file Democrats that I follow or who I have a great deal of respect for. It is the real thing and keep watching Kamala's rising poll numbers (which cannot be explained if it isn't genuine).

Tim, I think the vast majority of German people in the 30s were also decent good people. But they elected Hitler even though he told them exactly what he was going to do in Mein Kampf. Here history is repeating itself as Trump's blueprint for a second term is laid out in Project 2025.

Then why is there a wave of enthusiasm and excitement among Democrats (particularly young people) since we haven't seen since Obama.

No, she is the Democratic Party nominee for POTUS and that is hell of a lot more than just Joe's VP. That is why she raised that record amount of cash.

Um, no, as the Democratic Party nominee she is a lot more than a VP. And it is to her benefit not to accept a debate with Trump that is set up on his terms (Trump and his aides will realize that once they see the lead she has a week or so after the Democratic Convention).

Of course he is, which is why a refusal to debate her is no lose proposition for Kamala.

Nope: https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-fundraising-democrat-president-biden-trump-434a55ea1eb29e5da92cc9b1f9cb401f Kamala Harris smashes fundraising record with stunning $81 million haul over 24 hours NEW YORK (AP) — Kamala Harris is smashing fundraising records as the Democratic Party’s donors — big and small — open their wallets for the vice president in the immediate aftermath of President Joe Biden’s stunning decision to step aside. In total, Harris’ team raised more than $81 million in the 24-hour period since Biden’s announcement, campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said Monday. The massive haul, which includes money raised across the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees, represents the largest 24-hour sum reported by either side in the 2024 campaign. Harris’ campaign said it was the largest single-day total in U.S. history. “The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections,” Munoz said. Hours earlier, Future Forward, the largest super PAC in Democratic politics, announced it had secured $150 million in commitments over the same period from donors who were “previously stalled, uncertain or uncommitted,” a senior adviser said.

By the same token, if Trump was confident then he'd have no problem with the scheduled debate.

Look up on Google the record number of cash and donations she has raised (none of it from Joe's war chest).

Absolutely or he would be meeting her in the debate that the parties had originally agreed to. You make it sound as if all he has to do to win the debate with Harris is just to show up. If so he wouldn't need to do one at Fox under terms of his own choosing.

She has had no problem raising money now, has she?

And if you believe that I got some ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

Didn't raise enough apparently.

So, Trump just made this all up, figuring that Fox would agree and let him set his own terms?

Reminder, she dropped early in the primary race in 2020 because she ran out of money. Most Democrats didn't get the opportunity to vote or not vote for her. And Biden had a pretty poor record of running for POTUS too before he got the nomination.
