President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Cowarding out of this is the worst political mistake Trump has made.

 

Cooper keeps trying to set traps for her, but she's not taking the bait.

 

Completely honest question here, and not saying you're wrong, but:

Why do you feel this way?*

(*I'll take all the hope I can get.)

 

Listen to Batman. Don't vote for the Joker.

One thing I need to add: George W. Bush and Laura Bush and every other Bush sitting out making public statements against Trump is a goddam disgrace against their name and whatever legacy they want to have.

Unless they agree with Trump, which I have to assume given their lack of public positions.

Cowards.

 

Never change, NYT...
Throughout her town hall on CNN, Harris has declined to give specifics to voters asking her for more details on what she believes and what she might do as president. She did not answer if she would be more “pro-Israel” than Trump. And she did not answer a question about what she would do to ensure that no more Palestinians die from “bombs being funded by U.S. tax dollars.” Harris replied with the same general statements that she has given in recent days.
Update from Katie Rogers

 

Just looking at election history tonight. The 1948 election is famous for the stupid "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline.
Final electoral college tally: Truman 303, Dewey 189. But what looked like a blowout on that scoreboard was, in fact, even wilder than 2020. Five states -- accounting for one of every three electoral votes between them -- were decided by < 1%. But in order for Dewey to win, he'd have had to sweep them all. Pretty unlikely. Certainly odd enough that any newspaper dedicating its first edition to a definitive proclamation was taking a huge risk.
Compounding the complexity of this one was the third-party candidacy of Strom Thurmond, the despicable bigot whose name now adorns an institute of government at Clemson University. Thurmond won Louisiana by 16 percentage points; Mississippi with 87% of the vote; his native South Carolina with 72%; and Alabama, where the sitting president didn't get on the ballot, with 80%.

 

Harris has been solid. On message. A good night. Especially compared to trump, who isn’t up to this task. Clearly afraid of this setting and/or getting his ass kicked again in another debate.

She’s hammered his unfitness and his fascism.

 

"What is your proudest moment" is right up there with "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

 

He didn't answer the question.

 

The AP being blunt and straightforward.

"The Atlantic magazine reported that Trump, when he was president, complained about the cost of paying for Guillén’s funeral as he had promised her family he would do in a meeting at the White House in July 2020. Citing two unnamed sources who attended a December 2020 meeting and notes from the meeting, when he was told the $60,000 price tag, Trump responded, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican!” He told his chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, not to pay for it, the magazine reported."

Trump's reported racist insult about Mexican American soldier draws bitter backlash — and staunch denials
