None of those are able to affect any change to foreign policy. That is the president’s job alone.

I put up a comment about it yesterday, but I’m predicting Oct 12- 16th for a pivot.

Specifically, these debates mostly nothing At this point, if you were going for Trump, there is no debate performance that is going to change that. Likewise for Harris voters. As well, we’re just about past the point where voter registration is going to change anything. Just about the last 2 weeks of September and the state which matter won’t be accepting new registrations.

So it’s down to people that are likely voters who are still withholding for some policy positions.

I mean, you might be engaging in that.

But it wasn’t people saying that you needed to vote for Biden or else, that saved Democrats from themselves this election.

Realistically she’s got quite a few of those, but when given a bad but not fundamentally different from what one had before option, and a make everything far worse option, and a situation that makes trying to choose a third option an exercise in futility, the choice is a no-brainer.

it’s probably around 1.5% of the vote she’s leaving on the table?

Not an unsurmountable number, but easily closer than you would want to do in any kind of competitive election.

Unforced error. At the end of the day, AIPAC doesn’t vote.

Oh she did that for me practically on day one of announcing her candidacy.
She is obviously intelligent and has very good political ideas.

But something hit me recently, with George Bush it was said he was the kind of person people would like to have a beer with. Which was allegedly a big reason he won.
But I certainly see that with Kamala Harris much more. Kamala Harris seems like such a genuinely nice person, who can also have a bit of fun.
So Kamala if you find yourself in the neighborhood, feel free to pop in, my treat. 😀 🍺

I know that’s a really silly metric to judge them by, but I think Walz is that x1000.

Yes that’s what my wife (and many others) say, I just haven’t seen any interviews with him yet, I’ve just seen pictures of him on stage with Harris, and a video of him buying donuts.
Everything I read about him is good though, so I believe you. I’ll take the chance and say he can come along too. 😋

Watching Tim Walz get the news in the middle of a live post debate interview that Taylor Swift was endorsing Kamala & him was amazing.

His reaction is so genuine and joyfull. You can tell he’s on the verge of happy tears.

Since I know Tim Walz doesn’t drink, I’ll just invite him over for a friend’s & family cookout instead and feed him too much carne asada.

Walz is the first vp candidate that I think actually brings significant number of voters to the table. Perhaps I’m biased because he’s been an amazing governor.

otoh I like John Cleese’s line. He said he wanted a candidate so brilliant that he, Cleese, would be afraid to sit at the same table, lest he be proven a complete dunce.

I think it’s more that today’s American politicians reel it in.

Clinton was know as a policy wonk, and Obama would go from community organizing to the U. Chicago law school without missing a beat. Even George W. went to top schools.

Harris could go toe to toe with the best minds out there; she tailored her responses to Donnie’s level.

Harris is definitely no dummy.

Neither was Biden, but he definitely lost some sharpness over the years.

So what?

I like Ed Koch’s take on different opinions. He said that if you liked him 51% of the time you should vote for hi. If you agreed with him 100% of the time you should see a psychiatrist.

No need to imagine. It was barely a bit more than a month ago.

And to be clear, those who are trying to beat people into submission in the issue of genocide were the same who tried to beat people into submission on the issue of Biden s ability to win. They where wrong them. They’re wrong now.
