squistion

I don't agree that "they" (whoever they are) lied about Joe for years because I know what I saw with my own eyes.

Most of what we been shown as proof that Kamala is not an effective public speaker have been these short YouTube clips of less than 30 seconds that are taken out of context and probably selectively edited to make her look bad. And I am old enough to remember the clips of a supposedly "drunk" Nancy Pelosi (who is a teetotaler) that were deliberately slowed down to give the false impression her speech was slurred and she was intoxicated. I trust what I actually have seen from Harris (and as a Californian I paid close attention while she was Attorney General and Senator) not these right wing propaganda video clips.

His rally speeches have become so incoherent that Fox no longer carries them in their entirety (think about that).

She came across as intelligent and articulate when she grilled Brett Kavanaugh as his SCOTUS confirmation hearings.

Which made no sense given the number of countries who provide free health care for all their citizens.

Hillary had a lot of negative baggage and that was reflected in the polls with her high negative approval rating. The right had already defined her and she was never able to overcome that. Harris is pretty much a blank slate (much like Obama) and her upside is very high which is why she will not peak in popularity until after the convention.

Arguably it shouldn't be.

I was talking about the totality of threads and Tim is on the right for some issues.

The poster whose handle rhymes with "Smells Poopy" ordered a Trump Bible but never updated us that he actually received it.

Only if whoever tatooed it on did it right.

Typo from living too many years by the harbor.

He obviously isn't well, but they don't care, do they?

No one does.

Or Walz.

It keeps getting better (or worse depending on one's perspective).

You are not paying attention to what I have been saying. He knew or correctly anticipated how this was going to play out which would be later be determined as the correct call and would be a feather in his cap (so to speak).

No that isn't what I am saying. That he correctly anticipated how things would play out. Once again, I don't give a crap what Clooney, Ben Afleck, Brad Pitt, or even Lassie has to say. Actors opinions don't interest me.

To look prescient would be my guess. What about Clooney? I don't give a rat's patootie what some actor says. I don't know why the NYT took the position they did but they have never been a sock-puppet of the DNC like some claim.

How could migrants have had substanitally more than 100% of the jobs created last year? Wouldn't 100% be all of the jobs created?

No, there is traditionally a bounce in the polls following the convention. Just wait and see.

Pelosi didn't call him out, she said something to the effect of (paraphrasing) that the decision was his, and his only, to make. I am speculating that Schiff's call for him to drop out was based on some inside information he must have had that Biden was indeed stepping down (it makes no sense to me any other way, because if Biden not dropped out and then lost, some finger pointing for the defeat would have been directed at Schiff).

It was a bad debate performance and pick a reason (bad cold, jet lag) but whatever the cause, it unfortunately reinforced the "Dementia Joe" false meme that Fox and right wing media had been running with. He lost support because the perception was he couldn't win. So for the good of the Democratic Party and the country, he dropped out. Considering how well Kamala is doing the polls (and she hasn't peaked yet) it seems a wise decision on his part.

Not that he was unfit, but that he couldn't win after the debate debacle.
