Expect the Dems to mercilessly start throwing all those stones the Republicans were chucking at them back at the Trump glasshouse. Which team has the senile old fart now?

Trump won't want to debate Harris.
There is always patter about why a woman in a run for a top roll is inadequate, I wager that if you put forward the perfect woman, someone spotless with an an impeccable record, that the misogynists would find something wrong with her temperament, her appearance, her 'otherness' from the traditional male stereo type of strength and power.“Harris too radical” in what way? I don’t think any of the Democrats who’re anywhere positions of power are at all radical, they’re all tame centrist types.
People like Bernie and AOC are kept on the sidelines there.
I’m sure he’s a competent golfer, you’d expect him to be given how much he plays. Just not as good as he claims to be.Recommend watching Bryson Dechambeau and Trump playing golf. First Trump is legit good, second away from the political schtick he’s less orange, and less unlikeable. They played off the front tees, scramble. But Trump was really quite good
He pretty much is as good as he claims to be…. Looked like a low single digit guy, and didn’t have the same political pantomime going on…. Less of an arsehole in that context than expected, and he’s never shy about being an arsehole… interesting anyway, I enjoy Bryson’s channelI’m sure he’s a competent golfer, you’d expect him to be given how much he plays.

The thing about Harris is that the rhetoric has very little substance, the truth is that none of us know who she is, what she really stands for, how capable she is. The big threat to the MAGA crowd and the 'any man would be better thinkers'....is that a Presidential Race gives Harris the spotlight to show the world who she is and to paint a contrast against the alternate. My god we saw that yesterday with the calling out the obscenity that is Trumps sexual offences and his all round unsuitability to lead the country.
Harris is already pulling ahead in a couple of polls (I realise polls are rubbish) the important thing being the messaging, the inference that she cannot win because of polls is being addressed.
Where you think the race sits if you are American depends on your bubble, from the outside I think MAGA would be stupid not to see a Sea change in the last two days. Ignoring the polls, there is no doubt that the Harris ticket as generated crazy momentum and excitement in the block that hate Trump yet had no stomach for Biden.
The assumption that Harris was more disliked than Biden and Trump is looking like Web talk with no substance, Harris has powerful blocks of voters she can reach that Trump and Vance (Vance is an appalling choice he called Trump Hitler).
Harris can reach the Youth.
The Female Vote.
The Men who hate Trump vote.
The people who place the constitution and democracy above race politics.
And she also looks capable of consolidating the fractured Democratic base and her pick of VP will likely be targeted at ensuring the Dem voters feel there is a balance.
What those groups need is to see a stable alternative, and Harris to me looks formidable.
In our own country, Adern became a schemer who was auditioning for the top UN job so she could oversee the new far left world order. She was also an agent for Black Rock. And her teeth showed that she like Helen Clarks jaw line was somehow an inferior human being.
You have to laugh. Frankly a lot of men hate women. According to most Hillary was a bigger crook than Trump.....let that sink in.
No definitely not and if I thought that I would have quoted you directly (in the opening of my opinion I thought I had qualified it by stating some examples of sexism-none of which apply to anything I have read from you, seems I should have been clearer about that).You quoted a post that was a question to me, so I have to ask- are you insinuating that I don’t rate Harris because she’s a woman?

You are a balanced poster and not some misogynist or twisted about Harris in the way say I am over Trump (I honestly have hatred for the guy). I should have made that clear I wasn't speaking to you and drawn a distinction between an opinion about Harris and the anti women slurs you read constantly posted by far right or extreme left nut bars.
In fact the voice you bring that say's the Democrats are sunk is what people like me need to hear. I would be the first to admit my opinions are entirely 100% from an emotional desperation to see Donald Trump fail. I do keep some perspective, not as much as yourself, but I did not think Biden was up for it. I thought he was terrible (his age and impediments mostly and he is bland and boring).
And my bias will always see me jump on the bandwagon and hope as much as anything that the alternative to Trump wins. I would back Banana vs Trump.
It is funny, I was never really interested in US politics, the only time I paid any heed was when Reagan started to lose it and the world was scared he would Nuke Russia. The Bush wars were interesting from afar, Junior Bush and his Crusade after 911. I never hated any of those strongly right wing Republican figures probably because I was raised like a lot of Kiwis with the dogma that America are the good guys.
When the yanks picked Trump I thought it was appalling, but a bit of a laugh. That all changed after Charlottesville and went into overdrive with Covid and to top it off high treason. I started disliking America because of Trump, Ironically I have to remind myself I am descended from prominent American settlers (John Alden and Priscilla Mullins my x times great great great Grandparents were on the Mayflower and are quite famous in American historical genealogy circles as founding pilgrims).
