Right. Kamala should not have over stepped that speech. It was incredibly powerful on its own. Let it stand.

That speech is historic.
Please let Trump agree to a debate with Harris. She will skin him alive.

Some network had 8 undecided voters on a panel watching the speeches last night. Afterwards. 6 of the 8 said they would be voting for Harris, 1 said Trump and 1 remained "I won't vote for either of them".

I think Harris did well.

It was a powerhouse speech.

And an extremely difficult, and at times highly technically complex, one (both as to subject matter and delivery).

I have a very hard time conceiving of what, besides cult worship of Trump, could lead anyone to conclude that she is NOT the superior choice as Commander-in-Chief, and as the representation to our country and the world of what America should be, and be for and against.

I doubt we have to worry about it because the scared schoolyard bully has been punched straight in the mouth this week and will do what schoolyard bullies do and is going to whimper into a corner and whine about being a victim.

And what, in his life, gives you reason to think Trump has actually worked - the way a Michigander would describe work - at anything, any time, ever?

Why would a hard-working person ever trust anyone who's never worked hard at anything?

:D
There were some people at the party who had brought the Kamala signs from the convention with them.
I thought about trying to snag one but it would have been really hard to hide it if I did.

Well played Gutter!

One of your better posts. That's pretty much what my cousin and our Governor said at the party last night.

If I can post the videos I will.

Because they are normal American people.

I thought the Ds did a very good job establishing their normal people bona fides, which stand in stark contrast to Trump not having lived a normal American day in his existence; for a guy who will tell you all about inflation and the cost of groceries, can you imagine him trying to play a Price is Right pricing game?

He'd end up going viral on YouTube, for saying a tube of toothpaste costs $17.76.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What I do know is that Giggles will show up slurring her words and repeating the same phrases over and over again, while responding to the questions she can't comprehend (i.e. 95% of them) with her trademark cackle. Trump would eviscerate her, especially where the economy, the border, and energy policy are concerned. She is an empty suit, and anyone who doesn't see that is either delusional or as stupid as she.

I didn't take many pics at the party because I didn't want to be "that guy". Party was fantastic. Venue was great. I tried crashing the Senator party at the hotel next to where I live and I was this/close to getting in but was stopped (nice that security did their job but not nice that they didn't know I am Gutter and that they should have let me in).

Here are some from people waiting for Kamala to head to the convention last night, the party, and the morning after.....

Your posts do a good job of proving you're ignorant and you're an asshole - on this site.
My guess is you're probably not too bad of a guy off of it. On it, you are an embarrassment to yourself.
Have a nice day!

Your words mean a lot!
Really proud of my cousin (I stand corrected-actual title was Chair of Chicago DNC Host Committee) and those I worked with and for in regards to the convention.
Kudos to the Chicago Police and all out of town law enforcement!
All told, outstanding jobs by so many people on so many levels.
Last night at the party I was standing outside on a balcony around midnight overlooking the city from a west view. Said to myself, what a great city and what a nice job presenting itself on a national and world stage.
P.S. Yes, I have referred to the city as a shithole in the past. 99% of the time due to crime. Crime is in fact a problem in Chicago but that’s pretty much true of any and every city in the USA.
