CHICAGO — In his history as a candidate for president, Donald Trump has never experienced anything like the past month. Vice President Kamala Harris, a Black and Indian American woman, has pushed the White alpha male to the sidelines of the national conversation, denying him the spotlight he craves and constantly demands.
Democrats concluded their electrifying national convention here on Thursday night with Harris as the main event, delivering an address sculpted to keep her on the crest of a wave that has changed the contours of the presidential election.
The Democrats are in the game, the former president is in a box, and it’s not clear whether he knows what to do.
Trying to free himself from this bind, Trump has plucked from what was once a tested playbook of tricks that in the past has kept his opponents off-balance and himself at the center of attention. But as the campaign now moves to its next phase, the focus on him and how he attempts to regain his balance will be as much or more of the story compared with how Harris navigates the road ahead.
Harris defined the stakes of the election in blunt terms in her acceptance speech. “Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives, it is one of the most important in the life of our nation,” she said. “In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man. But the consequences — but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. … Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.”

She’s done no such thing- its the liberal media that’s done this non-stop
These people live in a fantasy land all their own.
Didn’t they tell us Joey’s was fit as a fiddle
I am supposed to believe this
Cmon man
The delusional Left believes their lies and delusions including Dan Balz (short for Balzitch?) and the New York Times.
Dan Balz has none.
quite the tongue bath
Poster child for the ballless Beta male simp. "Now honey I told you to urinate sitting down, you'll mess up the pink toilet bowl cover."
Dream on NYT. See Tagline.
Que-malo....she so Krazy.
Balz days may be numbered.
Bozos growing tired of flushing money down the stool at the Amazon Post.
Bozos getting frisky he wants toy with a sports franchise.
Bozos figured out owning a propaganda rag for Commies might not be in his best interest.
That article sets new records for pure, unadulterated bull squeeze.
Nothing about policy or where they’ll take the country. No mention of extreme communism they are proposing. Just Bad Trump, Bad Bad Trump.
The communists are destroying our nation, turning us into the USSA, and they accuse TRUMP of “killing democracy.”
Election night is going to be even more delicious than 2016. I’ll have to switch back and forth between MSNBC\Young Turks and CNN.
