The Harris-Trump election shouldn’t be close. Here’s why it is.
The Washington Post ^ | September 29, 2024 7:00 AM | Eugene Robinson

It is absolutely, completely, totally ridiculous that this election is even close. But here we are.

The choice between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump should not be a tough call. Harris is a former prosecutor; Trump, a felon. Harris gives campaign speeches about her civic values; Trump rants endlessly about his personal grievances, interrupting himself with asides about sharks and Hannibal Lecter. Harris has outlined a detailed set of policy proposals for the economy; Trump nonsensically offers tariffs as a panacea, describing this fantasy in terms that make it clear he doesn’t understand how tariffs work.

Also, Harris never whipped thousands of supporters into a frenzy and sent them off to the Capitol, where they smashed their way into the citadel of our democracy, injuring scores of police officers and threatening to hang the vice president, in an attempt to overturn the result of a free and fair election. Trump did.

Yet polls tell us that either candidate could win. The Post’s polling average has Harris ahead by 2 percentage points nationally. The Post also finds that Harris holds leads in four of the seven crucial swing states — 3 percentage points in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, 2 points in Michigan, less than a point in Nevada — but adds a note of caution: “Every state is within a normal-sized polling error of 3.5 points and could go either way.”

I have a T-shirt that says “I’m voting for the Felon.”

DEI Robinson can’t explain the basis for the counts because laws were changed and it took a politically corrupt DA and totally biased, Trump hating Judge to allow the conviction of fabricated state felonies where even the FEC says there was no violation. It will all end up in the USSC because of it, IMO.

I’ve seen shirts that say, “I’m voting for the felon with the pierced ear.”! Lol

Trump, a felon.

Sorry. Categorizing payoff fees to a skank as a campaign expense instead of a personal expense, THE BIG DANGEROUS HORRIBLE FELONY, simply doesn't matter to most people, including you, WaPo.

The fact that each check to pay off the skank was categorized as its own separate felony was equally laughable.

Even the most obtuse can see that that case was pure retribution against a political opponent ... i.e. lawfare.

“The choice between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump should not be a tough call. Harris is a former prosecutor; Trump, a felon.”
Trump was never convicted of a felony, because the felony charge was a chimera giving the jury the option of choosing among 3 different crimes (among which was a federal election violation over which the state court does not have jurisdiction). A conviction requires a unanimous verdict on a single defined crime.

Somebody is freaking out, and like a classic liberal their answer is to tell the voters they are stupid and need to listen to their betters.

That's their argument. Maybe they can try to persuade us instead? But nope.

How many Trump supporters don’t take calls from unfamiliar numbers?
