W. Niederhut Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Extraordinary acceptance speech by Kamala Harris tonight!! A grand slam!! She not only lived up to the high expectations raised all week, she exceeded them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Gallaway Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I agree W. She did exceed expectations. I thought this could well be the case. She won't be at all intimidated by Trump in the debate. And that by itself will unnerve Trump. Watch how she handles Russia Gate denier Super Hero obfuscater William Barr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I just read that Harris is now less than five points behind Trump in Texas. That is really something. Trump now will have to defend Florida, Texas and N. Carolina. He cannot afford to lose any of them. But if he loses two of them he is toast.

That is realy something: GATEWAY PUNDIT: That means: A man who's family was poliically destroyed by the Secret Team joins another man who was almost killed by the Secret Team in his effort to become your President. This is not Dems vs Reps. This is a brand new US approach to the world (Trump/Vance/Kennedy) vs the WDC "forever wars fraction" with their killers. IMO Kamala is nothing but face patched on that Stephen King Clown trampling the world since World War 2. Gateway Pundit? C'mon, Karl. You need to start thinking critically about your flawed, right wing "news" sources.

Yeah well this witting sentence below will be even more difficult for you to unpack, John. . Is John aspiring to follow in Trumps footsteps and blaze a new era of bored, idle septuagenarian social media trolling.or ....... is he just a glutton for my punishment? heh heh If unpacked, it's a joke John!

Denny Zartman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Harris gave a great speech, no doubt. It was only 40 minutes or so, and felt shorter. That's always a positive quality. She introduced herself with sincerity, and went from topic to topic well. Threading the needle is difficult. She has to come across as warm and loving, but also tough as steel at the same time. I think she accomplished that goal. It's hard to imagine someone open-minded watching that speech and not coming away with some measure of respect.

It's hard to imagine someone open-minded watching that speech and not coming away with some measure of respect. Well said, Denny. Harris seems very sincere, (and I usually have fairly good radar for fraudsters.) She's a remarkable woman-- highly intelligent, ethical, and articulate-- from a remarkable family. I spent some time today reading the Wikipedia chapters about both of her parents. Her mother was a cancer researcher from Madras, who came to UC Berkely from India for her graduate degree. Her maternal grandparents spent their retirement savings to send Shyamala to Berkeley. Her father is a retired Emeritus Professor of Economics at Stanford, who grew up in Jamaica and, among other endeavors, has done pro publica consulting work for the Jamaican government. Both parents were focused on academic research that benefits humanity. Edited August 23 by W. Niederhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Allison Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I love that world-class dummy Trump is saying he doesn't think she's very smart lol. This will increase the shock value when she cleans his clock at the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will increase the shock value when she cleans his clock at the debate. It's extra funny, because Trump believes that intelligence is passed through the genes. "You know, I had an uncle. He's the longest serving professor, Doctor John Trump, in the history of MIT, with same genes, we have genes, we're smart people, we're smart people," Trump said. "We're like race, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, we're like racehorses, too. You know, the fast ones produce the fast ones, and the slow ones doesn't work out so well, right? But we're no different in that sense." https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-trump-claims-uncle-longest-serving-professor-mit-1864991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is the bloom is off the rose for Trump. He's got nothing new to offer, and his appeal is growing weak among those expected to be his strongest supporters. I'll believe Texas turns blue when I see it, but Trump having to worry about Texas of all places is nice to think about. And he should worry, because for him losing Texas would be an embarrassment of historical proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
