You're only saying that because she's a non white woman.
Not at all. I'm saying it because she is an enormous squish. What lane does Nikki Haley fill that will help the GOP recover the scores upon scores of people whom they've lost over the last decade with their surrender to Trumpism?

You're probably right that about that in a general election.
 
Also interesting he can't fill Dorton. Not even trying for Carter Finley or the RBC center
Carter-Finley and the RBC Center have enough trouble filling up to watch the usual losers who play there, can you imagine if they tried to fill it for *this* loser who is liable to deep throat microphones in front of tens of people?
 
Agree with you. She’s got a viable path forward if/when Trump loses this upcoming election, but she is understandably trying to shore up some support she may need in 2028 from the Trump base if she ends up head to head against Kamala in the 2028 General.
I think her main challenge to any future in the party is the fact that she caved. MAGA won't forgive her for challenging dear leader, plus they will actually see her as "weak" for bending the knee to him at the 11th hour. Remember Trump's whole policy of never admit/never apologize seems like strongman behavior to this group. On the other side, never-Trumpers will just remember her as cowardly and craven due to her decision to support/endorse. Now, it is true that political memory is short (exhibit A is Trump on the ballot after Jan 6th), but I just don't think that Nikki recovers from this situation well.
 
Whatever happens, I'm proud of the campaign Harris ran and have no gripes about anything she did or didn't do. I think she did the best she could possibly do given the circumstances. No major gaffes, solid VP pick, strong debate performance, strong online presence, good messaging.

If she loses it's because of forces outside of her control, I can live with that.
Agreed 100%. This isn't at all like Hillary's campaign in 2016. She's run a dynamic, energetic, and high-energy campaign from beginning to end, and she's made very few mistakes along the way, imo. Her debate performance was great, most of her television interviews have been strong, Tim Walz has done great, and she's been doing everything possible in terms of clever, eye-catching ads and has a great grassroots get-out-the-vote drive in key states. If she loses I'm sure people will come out of the woodwork and say that she did this or that wrong, but like you I do believe that she has run a great campaign. It's hard to beat a freaking cult that is supported (at least covertly) by a majority of the news media, and which has a candidate who lies about nearly everything and gets away with it because almost no one in the media fact-checks him or really cares.
 
He is remarkable. And his ability to stay CALM during a debate, and actually lower and soften his voice in the beginning of a response to a challenge is very effective.
Agreed. His manner of responding is very disarming, which fosters a sense of care and respect for whoever he is conversing with. He has a warmth and kindness about him and is sharp as a tack. Dude is a great communicator.
 
Not sure what I am supposed to do here. Fly into NC and lock my parents in a closet so they can't vote? They support bad people and have revealed that at their core they are bad people too. Our relationship is all but permanently broken. I don't see how their being horrible human beings is my fault.
In my case I just realized that I am not changing anyone's mind and I just can't afford to lose most of my extended family.

That rant sounds like a rant from someone who is young and doesn't yet understand these things.
 
Eh, maybe all of that is true, but look at all of his rallies in literally all of the other places/states he's been going to recently. They have all of the energy, excitement, and attendance of the Dean Dome for a 9 PM November game against Gardner-Webb.
Attendees look more like hostages than supporters.
 
Kamala Harris will spend all of Monday in Pennsylvania, whose 19 electoral votes offer the largest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome. The vice president and Democratic nominee will visit working-class areas including Allentown and end with a late-night Philadelphia rally that includes Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.


Donald Trump plans four rallies in three states, beginning in Raleigh, North Carolina and stopping twice in Pennsylvania with events in Reading and Pittsburgh. The Republican nominee and former president ends his campaign the way he ended the first two, with a late Monday night event in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
