General Election 2024

https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2024/08/09/harris-has-vaulted-past-trump-as-the-bookies-favorite-to-win-presidential-election/
Vice President Kamala Harris has now emerged as the bookmakers’ favorite to win the presidential election, highlighting her campaign’s momentum as she rapidly cut into former President Donald Trump’s lead in the betting markets over the past two weeks.

I'm giddy
I think it may be an electoral college landslide
If the writing is on the wall, I think Trump will quit instead be humiliated with another loss. Especially a loss to a Woman of color

Basically, she'll do what she needs to do when it needs to be done. The campaign is going to run on the current enthusiasm until it starts to wane. And I don't blame them. You don't step on what's working. Poll numbers are still edging up, last I checked.

Do you have any intellectual curiosity about why she has not put a policy page on her website?

I think that is pretty common for a campaign.

Anyway, it was always Trump's race to lose and he has done a fairly good job of working hard to do that. I have said in conversation that the first "team" to put in a younger candidate would likely win...and, though I don't think the current Vice President is a good candidate, she is both younger (so she meets what I have said when talking to friends) and also has great momentum right now.

The press is starting to murmur about the lack of interviews. If it stays a low rumble, she can keep not talking.

I’m pretty sure i know what policy positions she has. I also know her more controversial statements. And I know what’s workable and what isn’t. What’s the most radical thing you think she will do? Because I’m curious if I actually think it is radical.

Okay, what is her actual plan for lowering inflation? She says that will be a top priority, but how? What will be different than it is right now? It has gone down, but is she simply saying that she will keep doing the same thing? Does she have a new vision?

Worldwide inflation was caused by the Ukraine war
Suck it up
Nothing the President can do about Putin
Do you have any suggestions?????
All your suggestions for Harris is to do something to hurt her campaign
She just overtook Trump in the betting markets
The smart money is to stay the course and let the Dem convention give her another bump :-)
The new vision is to give ALL woman the right to choice.
The American people overwhelming support choice
The Republican party is against the People on this issue
The vision is to make it crystal clear to the American People that Republicans are so extreme, they are against the will of the People

what's she's riding now is the wave of popularity, it's making the unthinkable [electing a doofus to the Presidency] acceptable

at the end, the thought of it is really going to get to people compared to what's going on now

Trump is the unthinkable that was less unthinkable than the very thing above ... in the person of Hillary Clinton that time around. But Trump is now knowable as President, he has been Prez before

my thoughts ................. maybe I'm wrong

Get over yourself.

I didn't say that I was going to fix inflation.

She did.

That kind of means she should let everyone know a little about her plan to do so.

I think her strategy is great. The press should be all over her for not asking hard questions.

You can take an educated guess, that in the short time she has been a candidate the already detailed Biden plan won’t change that much. Don’t go looking for a detailed plan from Trump, because there isn’t any.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Donny and JD are making mistakes. No reason for Kamala or Tim to divert the press's attention from that. I agree that, sooner or later, that Kamala and Tim are going to have to do a sit down for one or more media interviews.

Some “sugar high.”





Righties can dismiss what is going on at their own peril….
