Why Harris’s Barrier-Breaking Bid Feels Nothing Like Hillary Clinton’s

All the news outlets said Thursday “tonight the historic nomination acceptance.”

Everything has to be “historic”.

Why don’t we feel thrilled?

Trump was the second President to have a name start with “T-R-U-M” and the first not to have once been a habberdasher in Missouri. Historic.

First of all....Not one American has voted for her. So I don’t understand how she can even be a candidate.

In 2023, the year after Roe was overturned, there were more abortions performed in the US than in any of the prior 10 years. Not that it’s anything to be proud of, but maybe Trump’s ads should mention that, because Harris’ campaign has tilted strongly to that issue in its ads.

Democrats are making an issue where there is none, unless they’re going for an even bigger record number of babies killed.

Harris did/does nothing but be next in line ,LOL

AFAIK it is legal as long as the senator has a legal address in the state s/he represents. Remember how Mitt Romney represented Utah, though he spent so little time there he was known as Massachusetts Mitt?

I suppose being the First Ho to run for Prez could be considered a barrier breaker.

[cowboyusa]

Why are all your posts from the New York Times? Nobody cares

Why are all your posts from the New York Times? Nobody cares

Then how do you explain the dozens of responses, Einstein?

[Lod881019]

It’s Mr Einstein and once again nobody cares

[DeplorablePaul]

Democrats think that since the overturn of Roe vs Wade abortion has been the key winning issue for them. Trump is running on the economy and immigration. Kamala is running on abortion and Trump. We’ll see who is right.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Very well put. Spot-on.

Republican policies, they argue, have had disastrous and once-unthinkable consequences for the health and autonomy of women and their families since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Meaning that the Left makes abortion a major issue, and and rather than fighting back by demolishing their arguments for abortion on demand, then the GOP - or at least many "conservatives" - retreats, following a policy of appeasement under the premise that abortion is not a winning position (because they refuse to make it one), leaving the Left to do just that.
