Good point, Joe! The same could be said for getting us out of Afghanistan, messy as it was. But we're out!

BrahmaBulls 645 Posted August 2, 2024 3 minutes ago, IndyColtsFan said: What you're trying to assert here is that Democrats are victims because they didn't have a say at the ballot regarding Harris. Democrats are not complaining about this. Only Republicans are complaining about this because their boyo is now in deep doo doo in this campaign, with an sputtering, old Biden on the ticket their greatest political asset. What you don't understand about the system is that it is the delegates who decide who goes on the tickets, and the delegates, who represent voters, have swung to Harris with Biden's blessing. But I love that it gives the MAGA bunch something else to whine about, and whining is about all they do. No, I said what I'm saying. I don't need your spin. What I said was fact.

BrahmaBulls 645 Posted August 2, 2024 4 minutes ago, The Real timschochet said: At least here you tried to make some arguments. Too bad they’re completely false: 1. No voting process was subverted. Biden bowed out. The Democrats then followed the rules. In any event if you’re not a Democrat these rules have nothing to do with you. The Democratic Party is not part of the government or beholden to anyone except the Democratic Party. 2. FWIW I am opposed to expanding the Supreme Court; so is Joe Biden, so are many Democrats. But doing so, while a bad idea, is not a threat to democracy. The number of Supreme Court members has changed many times in our history. When I argue that Trump is a threat to our democracy I am arguing that he will attempt to subvert it through extralegal and corrupt means, like his attempt to stay in power after the 2020 election. Not to changes in the law proposed and passed by Congress.  My post was fact.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then, the day after Biden quit, I heard her first speech- and I thought “Reagan”: sunny and optimistic and she’s improved incredibly as a speaker since 2020. Then I heard more speeches and started to get really excited. I think she’s going to win, and I think she’s going to be a good President. Just getting around to this thread. If she had improved incredibly, the WH would have had her out front and center doing a bunch of speeches, since they desperately wanted to gaslight the American people regarding the cognitive decline of Biden. And yet, there she was, playing solitaire all day in her office. Also, by "Reagan," I hope you mean Alzheimer's Reagan. If you mean prime Reagan, I know we can't have a serious conversation on this. Then again, you still don't see the decline in Biden, so you've established your ability to evaluate people. 11 hours ago, thegeneral said: Yo don’t see that there is enthusiasm for Harris? How do you explain the polls, the betting markets, the money raised etc? I see short term enthusiasm for anybody but the half-dead guy. And to their credit, the MSDNC machine has done a good job in deciding to go all in on her, memory-hole her past, and instruct their lemmings that they are all enthused about a candidate who generates absolutely zero organic enthusiasm. We'll see if the machine can sustain it until the election.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was a good senator though I didn’t vote for her (I preferred Loretta Sanchez who I’ve met and feel a loyalty towards.) I wasn’t that impressed by her 2020 campaign. But now she has completely transformed herself. Unusual in American politics but not unheard of. Prior to 1980 Reagan was just an angry Goldwater type right winger- the optimism began in 1980.

The Real timschochet 6,582 Posted August 2, 2024 I asked yesterday what could change that would cause Trump to gain momentum again.
