    The dems desperately needed someone that can actually travel, campaign, and get registrations up.

    This is a MAJOR shift from Biden’s occasional events with a room of folding chairs, and a big difference from Trump’s weird, infrequent, angry ramble-thons. These rallies actually seem like a cool hang.

      Honestly I was really against Biden dropping out before he did. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.

        I was just convinced he was too stubborn to do it. I’m also really glad I was wrong.

      100%! I remain confident that Biden can perform the duties of President throughout the rest of this term. I also remain confident he could have performed the duties of President for a second term. Sadly it was campaigning for President WHILE being President I thought he struggled with.

      I don’t blame him, that’s a tough job, that’s an insanely difficult two jobs.

      I’ve been really happy with what I’ve seen from Harris over the past few weeks. I’m excited to see her out there every day, every week, spreading her platform, her message and our future.

        Unfortunately the duties of the president also include coherently addressing the people.

    I don’t think he wants to win anymore, like the last time it’s just a con to make money. He never cared or showed any interest in the job, even when he had it. Don the Con

      No I think he wants to win, he just thinks he shouldn’t have to work for it because everyone should just see how great he (thinks he) is. And if he can scam a few bucks off the top and get the donors to pay his legal bills for him all the better.

      But he very well might go to jail if he’s not the president, and he may well get all the charges dropped if he wins. Gotta think he wants to win.

        he just thinks he shouldn’t have to work for it

        Pretty bog-standard conservative plutocrat mentality. When you’ve spent your whole life reaching out a hand and finding everything you want in it - money, authority, pussy - why would you ever think you’d need to exert yourself.

        But he very well might go to jail if he’s not the president

        The SCOTUS has functionally ruled that out and the Dems are going to be more than willing to drop all the charges and forget Trump ever happened, assuming the GOP gets washed in the general.

        Dems are loathe to appear threatening to the wealthy class, and letting Trump off will signal its time to get back to business as usual.

          I don’t think any Democrat is pardoning Trump, if they don’t then it’s up to the jury and the judges whether he goes to jail. The cases have been filed.

          Maybe SCOTUS can rule him immune for the Georgia election interference case but it can’t be pardoned.

          The Hush Money case he’s already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.

          The stolen classified documents case he wasn’t president for that so he won’t get SCOTUS, only thing that could be done is a pardon or a failure to continue the prosecution but the appeal of Aileen Cannon’s ruling is happening in this administration.

            They could absolve state charges? Georgia is a state law that was broken.

              The federal interest is that they said the US president is constitutionally immune from prosecution for performing his Constitutional duties. If a state prosecutes a president for performing his Constitutional duties, they have violated the US Constitution and SCOTUS is who has the final decision on that.

              Think of how SCOTUS decision Roe V Wade said there was a Constitutional right of bodily autonomy, and when states passed abortion bans when Roe was the law of the land the laws just didn’t take effect, and the states could not arrest doctors for performing abortions. States can’t violate the US Constitution.

              (In this instance arguing the election interference was Constitutionally protected would be a huge stretch I’m not saying he WILL get off on those charges but if SCOTUS wanted to they could make it so)

            They don’t have to. The DOJ can simply drop the charges.

            The Hush Money case he’s already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.

            He’s going to get a smallish fine and that’ll be that.

            The stolen classified documents case he wasn’t president for that so he won’t get SCOTUS

            The prosecutors will drop the case as soon as the election is over. These are only tools to tarnish his popularity. There’s no serious desire to see a former President locked up.

      He is a legitimately good golfer and would absolutely beat the pants off Biden in a golf competition.

      That sounds like a compliment until you realize the way you get that good at golf is by prioritizing it over your other work, including being President.

        Legitimately good by what authority?

        Anecdotally he cant stop cheating and then boasting with his imaginary score to the point its just awkward not to ignore it.

        Incorrect. Take it from a very good source on this subject:

        To say “Donald Trump cheats” is like saying “Michael Phelps swims.” He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching, and he cheats when they aren’t. He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that’s how he plays golf, that’s how he learned it, that’s how he needs it, and whether you’re his pharmacist or Tiger Woods, if you’re playing golf with him, he’s going to cheat.

          I hate Trump as much as the next one but he’s not a bad golfer. He’s just a cheater too. From your own article: “Why does Trump cheat so much when he’s already a decent player?” The two can be the same. Especially for his age. But all that to say that with as much time and money as he has put into the sport, he SHOULD be good at it. It shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s a decent golfer but he should be a better golfer given how much time and effort and money he’s put into it.

            There is a vast gulf between “decent player” and “legitimately good golfer.” He is not the latter. He would never have made it as a professional even if he never cheated.

              Tbf, pros are above “legit good,” they’re the best, in any sport not just golf. One can be “good” at something without being “as good as the literal professionals.”

              That said, the difference between “legit good” and “decent” is as subjective as “how many counts as a ‘bunch.’”

    Haven’t been loving the “courting the right” part of her launched campaign, but this works for me. Hitting back on Trump’s age should go well after they had their field day with Biden’s.
