1. Trump manipulating the election in multiple ways. Insane that he feels he will have election officials in his pocket this time. I think he feels he can (and will) win the election - "illegally" if not legally.

2. Trump's VP is jack shit fucking crazy. Trump had better choices. Did Trump actually pick this guy because....... Because why? I don't get it. I like to think there are more people who won't vote for Trump because of Vance than people who will vote for him because of Vance.

3. I believe if Shapiro wasn't a Jew Kamala would pick him in a heartbeat. I also believe he's not the right guy - partially if not mainly because he is a Jew.
You think Pro-Palestine "protests" are bad now, wait until this dude is the VP candidate.

4. Crazy thought and question/s of the day. I am embarrassed I don't know this. If Joe stepped down tomorrow, Harris becomes President. Then she would be running for "re-election" in November. Would she only be able to serve until January of 2029 and then not be able to run in 2029?
Ok, so then would that be a good thing or a bad thing in 2029?

5. If there was a Democratic Primary for every state at the same time, and RFKJr. ran for President as a Democrat, and Kamala wasn't VP but was a Senator from Californian and ran for President as a Democrat, and they were the only two people running. Who would win and by how much?

1. I think he thinks he's going to win legally.

2. I don't think Vance makes much difference vs whoever else it could have been.

3. I don't think Shapiro makes much difference vs whoever else it could be.

4. I think she'd still be eligible for 2 full terms iir my constitution class correctly.

5. I don't know. I do know if there was a true Dem primary Kamala would not win. And neither would RFK Jr.

1. MAYBE but he already has plans in place to win it "illegally".
2. Not "much" but some. Picking Vance was like going to Baskin-Robbins and ordering vanilla.
3. HUGE difference/s in some ways. As a Jew, I would be just fine if he wasn't her choice. I prefer not to have a VP who is so blatantly "pro-Israel" that there is a damn good chance there will be an even bigger rise in anti-semitism if he/she gets elected. Have you seen what's already been going on in DC?
4. I don't know. My guess would be no but that's an UNeducated guess.
5. Kamala by a little.

3. I don't think anyone will switch from Harris to Trump because of her VP choice. Maybe some people would choose not to vote at all based on it? Idk.

5. I don't think Kamala would finish top 3 if similar people ran as 2020.

I think the most salient shift of the last two weeks is that Democratic messaging and chatter is now approximately equal parts pro-Democrat and anti-Trump. Formerly it was like 10/90.

And just like Trump’s act is wearing thin on soft Rs, *so too is anti-Trump on soft Democrats*.

Biden was the man for the moment in 2020. People wanted steadiness, familiarity and experience after Trump and then Covid and then Trump again upended the entire country.

The fact that Biden isn’t the man for the moment in 2024 is actually a measure of his success: the ship has largely been steadied, and people now want positive momentum and a focus on the future.
