Kamala just as bad.. Surely there should be some sort of IQ test needed to become president

Scraping the bottom of the barrel stuff from Trump.  Kamala has doctorate degree, has been Attorney General and District general of California and proved to be a good fit for vice Presidency and now has the credentials to run for president.

Trump is just as bad as Biden with his alarming Cognitive decline and unlike Biden he was stupid before that took over, republicans should have known better to go with younger and more intelligent candidate this time. 


Look-Up!

Looks to be slowing for sure. That aside, I'm surprised he's actually in the running, I didn't think he could ever get traction with the middle ground again after his association with the Capitol riots.

But he'll need new material in any case. Got pulled up on his black jobs remarks lately, that kind of crap will wear thin and not have the effect he hopes. Bit like Hilary and the hot sauce.

I'd actually have Harris as favourite ATM but of course a lot of twists yet to come before November.

These  US election candidates remind me of  in the Simpsons when Homer was  replaced at the power plant.

Basically, it's a Choice  between:



Or


whitey

It's flat out insanity

10,000,000 + people entered the country under the current administration all the while Harris was the "Border Czar" and now she's advocating a pathway to citizenship for everyone they've let in

Where did she say "everyone"?

All I heard was tougher border security and an "earned pathway to citizenship", something that has been Dem policy for decades and was advocated by prominent Republicans not too many years ago.

I seriously doubt she is stupid enough to push for blanket amnesty and citizenship, especially as it's an issue where Trump and the GOP haven't a leg to stand on after their stunt earlier this year when they torpedoed a bipartisan deal that was very strong on border security simply because Trump wanted to be able to continue to fear monger for his own personal purposes.

It's 50/50 at the moment, although Trump is doing his very best to sabotage himself. He's very lucky that he has the electoral college advantage and only needs 47-48% of the vote to have a serious chance. Harris needs 51-53% to have any shot, unless RFK, the crazy bastard, shaves a bit off of Trump. Next few weeks will tell - Harris has to sit for a few detailed interviews, have a good convention with a sensible platform, and do a good job arguing around Trump's bluster and bullshit in the debate. If she's still improving by early-mid September, she has a great shot.

And so much time and so much money spent convincing a bunch of morons who to vote for.

You're right

She didn't say everyone, but when the numbers crossing have been so enormous it's definitely an issue I'm concerned about?

What percentage of undocumented people will qualify?

How many millions (or tens of millions) will it be

They let a heck of a lot of people in

They can't even get the Dreamers naturalized. I don't think it is going to be an issue. There's no 60 seat Dem senate majority on the horizon even if they wanted to do something like you're saying. Even with a bare majority, the Dems rely on centrists from red states who would never agree to blanket amnesty and citizenship pathways.

"They've let an invasion of our country happen. But I took a look, and because I took that look, I mean what are the chances of that? So, I just want to thank everybody because, I'll tell you what, the level of love and compassion, and and all of the things that we went through, it was a terrible thing. And we're going to be very careful we have to be very careful."

He's taken that last sentence from Hill Street Blues
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Yep, them Native Americans should have fckd all them invaders from Europe back into the Ocean.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Betting odds:

  • Harris 10/11
  • Trump 23/20
  • RFK 156/1 (which puts him behind Walz who's at 150/1)

Quite a turnaround. Biden was never the favourite in the betting markets.
