The curious move was selecting Walz as a running mate. Beshear pf Kentucky would have been a wiser choice. Shapiro was going to inflame the tottering Hamas lobby in the Democrat Party. Mark Kelly might have made sense, as would Buttigieg. We know they are all horrible people, but from a left wing standpoint, they are popular. And (except for Buttigieg) experienced.
My sense is that Harris really likes Walz, and she didn't want to choose a running mate that she hated, as Biden did when he selected her. They are extreme lefties, so they seem to get along politically, and Walz is quite the kiss-ass, and Harris is well, you know.
The roll out went pretty well, and Harris surge in the polls. But that was mostly because she was primarily undefined. The problem with such a short campaign for the Democrats is that there is plenty of chances for surprises, but not much time to weather the storms. On the Republican side, Trump has literally been through everything. He has weathered everything, and has emerged remarkably stronger. I think there's a lot of people who didn't vote for him in 2016 or 2020 who are looking at him now with grudging respect.
In 2016, it was perceived by some that Trump ran to enhance his brand; in 2020 to feed his ego, and perhaps get revenge. Now, after the court cases, and assassination attempt, it's pretty clear that he has a passion to make things better for America. And he appears to be campaigning stronger than ever.

WHAT A FARCE AND PHONY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS!!
Consider the possibility the American Left is essentially Team Obama.
Former politicians can't reward of punish, so they have no power.
You clearly are thinking in traditional U.S. terms, while one look at the pollical inclinations of the current D party render such terms obviously obsolescent.
It's the oligarchs...[etc.] Obama was their puppet...
Until he wasn't. Which power group does the Left unmistakenly hate with a fury?
Joe probably still controls the cheating apparatus and parts of the machine in some key states. Probably wouldn’t take much to strategically hold back some fraud in key precincts, along with some payoffs, putting Trump over the top. Everything is about ego and power with these people. They don’t care about the country so it’s irrelevant to him if Trump wins, despite the rhetoric.
Not playing 4D chess here, but Trump has been sympathetic to Joe of late and has said so along with hinting that Joe is pissed and wants back in. Could just be Trump talking crap again or maybe not. Maybe there’s a little deal going down to avoid prosecutions of Biden family members in exchange for some help, a**assination attempts notwithstanding. If they forced Joe out of the Presidency do you not think Kamala will prosecute him and his family to look tough on crime and above politics? The game at this level is played at a level far beyond what any of us can comprehend.
What does that mean? Can you explain further? Or is that just as far as you can comprehend?
That’s DOCTOR Jill Biden, pilgrim!
The oligarchs control the Left, including BLM and Antifa. Doesn’t matter if the Left hates their master. The master still feeds, controls, and can put down the attack dog anytime he wants.
If Biden really wanted to put it to them, he should have endorsed Trump.
Wouldn’t THAT be a hoot!
I think it’s the daughter. Obamala definitely does not like her.
Rutabaga, who is as brainless as a set of tools, did this to himself when he quit. He deserves every ignominy and insult that can be heaped upon his demonic head.
Speak for yourself.
Politics is infested with stupid people. Smart people are not willing to present themselves, and their families to the public to be attacked and ridiculed. Dumb people do this because they think it's worth it to get the power.
Whatever "level" they're playing this game at, it's far simpler than they present it as.
Exactly right
