The big news of the day is that Joe Biden has picked a running mate in Kamala Harris, a demagogic woman who called him a racist, and couldn’t win a primary in her own state because Democrat voters didn’t think she was “authentic.” Nonetheless, leftists at MSNBC and other DNC propaganda venues are falling over themselves calling the choice historic and inspiring because of her skin color. The Biden-Harris ticket is now a rallying cry for the hate-Trump-and-white-America left. According to MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid, the Biden-Harris ticket will be greeted by a massive turnout of black America for the Democrats in November. Traditionally Democrats get over 90% of the black vote.
Not so fast. There were actually two events today. The other was the release of a Trump ad responding to Biden’s announcement. If the Republican ticket were headed by any Republican except Trump, there might be some reality to the claim that Harris adds a serious dimension to the ticket. A normal Republican would be skittish about going to the mat with the woman who if elected would – given Biden’s declining condition – be effectively the next president of the United States. After all, she’s black, and therefore untouchable.
But a look at Trump’s ad shows that, far from deferring to a political opportunist and serial liar like Harris because of her skin color, Trump is prepared to go to the mat to defeat her and her running mate. In other words, Trump is going into battle just as if Kamala were not black – or more accurately, brown (she’s half-Indian) – which is the true measure of equal treatment, albeit a measure that Democrats’ don’t really want. In the Trump ad the Biden-Harris ticket is skewered as “Sleepy Joe” and “Phony Kamala” – a sobriquet that underscores the Machiavellian character of a woman who called her running mate a racist before wooing him and whose only stable principle is "the ends justify the means." In other words, Trump will take on the ticket with a woman chosen for her skin color with no punches pulled.
Not surprisingly, the Democrats’ elation at the Harris pick overlooks a reality unnoticed by ideologues who slander the president as a “white nationalist” and the most inclusive, integrated and equal nation in the world as “white supremacist.” This reality is on display in the just-released Rasmussen poll which shows that 36% of the black community supports Trump – up from 8% in the last election, and previous Republican runs. That is because Trump is the first Republican leader to actively and aggressively woo the black community and to deliver for them as well. Perhaps the most salient point of his delivery for this election is his support for the nation’s integrated and beleaguered police forces and the battle cry “law and order.”
Here it is at 1:40am EDT, and the DOW futures market is unmoved, up +50 right now but it's been that way all night.
This tells me that the market doesn't think much of how Biden's announcement changes things.
There's no overnight bounce of any kind.

Under the circumstances, he might defeat Biden, if we’re cool enough. It’s time to start luring swing votes with tender, loving persuasion. Those of us who can see through the smoke of the radicals can see that there are enough undecided voters to do so good.
Look at them. Biden is an incompetent clown. Harris is _the_ wicked witch, and she wants to hurt all kinds of voters. She’s an elitist, and she’s working for the global plutocrats against both Democrat and Republican voters. She’ll strip us of all of our freedoms, imprison multitudes for trivial reasons and impoverish us all.
We become the good guys. Lefties, even a few, are invited to vote to save themselves from a senile, old man and a horrid witch who wants to eat idealistic young people of all kinds for her own evil purposes. And President Trump welcomes them with open arms.
And higher paying jobs!
Historically this is one of the worst tickets by either party.
A very old wisdom: when your opponent tries to strike low, hit him high.
The only issue this election is WHO COUNTS THE MOTHER FING VOTES! That is it. There is no other issue.
And soroznazi has installed or bought hundreds of election officials in key states especially. While the R’s slept
I was happy he picked Heels Up...she’s a nonentity.
you are right, it it is the swing voters and your approach is the winning one: “if we’re cool enough. It’s time to start luring swing votes with tender, loving persuasion. Those of us who can see through the smoke of the radicals can see that there are enough undecided voters to do so good.”

There is now. It means at the moment they believe trump will win. Harris wants to tax trading
Not sure how long will last.

I believe it was "Slow Joe" and not "Sleepy Joe". I guess 'sleepy' wasn't working.
The dems think they are shoring up the Black and women’s vote. Just the opposite. They are accelerating BLEXIT and WEXIT. Not only didn’t do any for blacks and women, they both did harm to both. And in this environment, two descendants of slave owners is not going to play well. Add in all the negative black video of Biden and this will be fun to watch.
