With such a deep bench of compelling candidates makes you wonder why they wouldn't want to run a competitive primary to select between them

Because they had an incumbent with a track record of beating their presumed nominee.

Mods have asked posters to stop mentioning that trump hooked up with a pstar and that Kamala hooked up with someone twice her age to get a couple promotions to advance her political career.

But they are both true? When did the mods ask folks to stop talking about Trump . And it was almost 2.3 times her age 😀

Heck I finally googled the JD Vance Couch jokes

Because it happened in like 40 days and we are still 90 days from the elections.

Ross Perot in 1996 was polling at pre-debate RFK jr numbers in the summer and ended up taking 8.4. RFK has already crumbled to 5% as the average of many good polls.

Johnson in 2016 was polling close to 9% up until the end of september (took 3.3% at the end). This recent example is probably what you have in mind.

It's surprising at least to me that people are seei


Yeah, it's so curious that as people get to know more about RFK Jr., his support would drop so early. With super relatable stories like his brain worm combined with all his very normal conspiracy beliefs, I really wouldn't have expected that a more viable Democratic candidate would affect his numbers. Perot and Johnson are great comparisons, because they also had beliefs just like RFK's. Maybe his numbers will bounce back once the bear story is factored in - who hasn't had an experience like that, amirite?

It's not an objection. It's a question.

Mostly questioning why you think they didn't explore their 'deep bench'.

If it was such a “deep bench” , how come on the betting sites for example we couldn’t find any of them ?
A non politician like Michele obama was doing better than all of them …
There was no bench !




Well seemTrump realizing his in trouble .
Debate seem Will happen .

You're going to see a LOT of desperate nonsense over the next couple of months as he realizes he's going to lose and go to prison for the rest of his life.

You don't think Trump is actually going to go to PRISON, right?

Don't get me wrong, that'd be hilarious, awesome, and he definitely deserves it, but, come on. Just the logistics of maintaining his Secret Service protection in a prison would be enough for anybody with the power to imprison Trump to throw up their hands and say, "forget it".

At best, the guy is gonna be on house arrest with access to the internet, and his gold toilets, and all that ****.

Trump in Rikers is some hardcore liberal hopium.

I'm sure that narrative will be as successful as all their other attempts to slow down the Harris train.

We didn't have a "RFK reveal" moment recently, his insane takes were well established a while ago, at least among people who knew who he is.

And no I didn't expect RFK drew more support from democratic-leaning voters, that wasn't obvious at all

Would make for an awesome reality show. We could call it "orange is the new black".

its worked very well in taking down a many Congressional Dems so far


by ecriture d'adulte P

Nobody thought it was in their interest to mount a serious campaign against Harris. There is no “they” that can decide this. It takes a top level candidate to decide to run. Nobody did.

Very much this. If either party was as organized as many people imagine, neither Trump nor Biden would ever have made it to the White House.

That's an interesting claim considering Harris only made her selection yesterday.


interesting conversation....from the party that not only nominates trump, but then redirects all of their cash to him and only him.

how many republicans primaried trump last go around?

It’s funny for a party that claim isn’t racist to care so much on both vp and president color.

Can anyone explain to these …. That mathematically there isn’t enough nominations available to represent all races?
There is more then 2 races in the US, as weird as it can sound to them .
If Shapiro was nominated then they would use the word of DEI or woke then ?
Again no politicies mention that could actually help the Americans .
Just some dumb narrative to create hates …

the same line of attack was used on Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.

Maybe they could pass a resolution that a president being condemn in prison shall be revoke his title and protection .
U know , making sure he protect the constitution and democracy , instead of giving him immunity to help him destroying .

So weird :p

Hope Harris will push a term limit for SC justices and abortion in the constitution ….if a crushing victory happens.


by Victor P

No, the attack line used on them was their supposed anti-Israel / pro-Hamas stance. The attack they're trying on Harris was simply that she didn't select a Jewish running mate, which is an entirely different situation no matter how hard conservatives try to draw the parallel.

Have you been getting enough sleep? I'm concerned.

Bush and Bowmann were not pro-Israel enough and therefore painted as antisemitic.

now they are trying to use the same playbook on Kamala bc she didnt choose the desired candidate.

maybe it wont work bc the truth is that both Kamala and Walz are absolutely psychopathic Zionism supporters. but the truth doesnt always matter in these things.

You know the chances of the first one happening are zero and the second remote . Obama had the best chance on codifying Roe vs Wade

Good one.

Is there a reason you have to tard up every single thread here?

It wont work because Harris is married to a Jewish man.

Really?

there's that DEI again...
