VDH——Harris has memorized the successful MO of Biden’s 2020 ....cough....”victory:”
<><>keep away from the public and journalists, and ration even staged speeches.
<><>replace radical chic with pseudo-centralism like ol’ Joe-from-Scranton-with-a-lunch-pail.
<><>pick a VP who’s a complete idiot to make yourself look good.
<><>appropriate as much as you can from successful conservatives, including Trump.


Kamala is saving the best for last: at the debate she will solemnly intone,
“I will not exploit for political purposes, my opponent’s age and inexperience”

Minnesota is really two states…outstate Minnesota rural and conservative and the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area. They have been roughly equal in voting population until the large influx of Somalis tipped the balance to the Metro. Walz once made the disparaging remark that outstate Minnesota was just “rocks and cows” and is obviously of no account for his leftist policies. Walz was very unpopular after COVID and should have been defeated in his reelection. However the GOP candidates got blindsided by the abortion issue and Walz was re-elected despite loosing in nearly every outstate county. I think some outstate counties may soon join the movement to change state borders and align themselves with the Dakotas.

Affordable cars run on gasoline.

Trump will keep the gasoline pumps working so you can keep working.

Now Tampon Tim gets to be Harris’s insurance policy like she was if elected.

Trump, "he's a weak man's vision of a strong man."

After watching him fight these last few years, including his immediate near death response to getting shot while making a speech, I guess I’m also one of those weak men who sees Trump as a strong man.

I am not a fan of some of his personality traits, but I am impressed by his strength and his willingness to fight for what he believes is right no matter what.

On the plus side, he seems to understand the world and has a better handle on how things work, what to do and what not to do, than any of the other candidates.

Hopefully, he can find a few like-minded souls in DC to help him do what needs to be done. His people picks have not been the best for some reason and that’s a definite minus.

Oh well … you fight with the army you have, I guess, and I will hope for the best once again.

Good. Absent this approach (if not dissolution of the entire Union itself), I don't see how a country so divided, socially and culturally, can avoid serious downstream political violence. Having grown so large (and unfortunately "diverse") the "American Experiment" is now failing.

What is truly needed is to Make America America Again.

Fortunately for both candidates, the entire country is content to totally memory-hole the events of 2020.

Yes, you have that right. That the "average American" today has the attention span of a goldfish is a tremendous boon for anyone seeking elective office.

I live about 30 miles north of Minneapolis (not far enough) I talked with a National Guard soldier shortly after the riots. He told me that they were not given live ammo when they were sent in. Any guesses who gave that order?

Somehow I don’t think it was Mary Tyler Moore

Megyn Kelly took this head on by showing how the Harris campaign deceptively edited Trump’s phone call to Walz to remove any mention of the number of days it took Walz to respond to the riot:

Trump, of course, was trying to encourage the use of the National Guard against the rioters, so it’s not surprising he praised a Governor he was trying to work with who eventually used it. That doesn’t mean we can’t still criticize Walz’s delay in calling out the Guard or his blaming America for the riots or other questionable things he said at the time about the rioters and the guardsmen.

Thanks for this. Sometimes I forget to assume that videos on Twitter have been edited to remove context.

THere is NOTHING synthetic about Trump. MAGA is grass roots as it comes.

Trump is great leader who came at the right time. No one is better for this moment in history.

DSH is supercilious wisecracking little punk. Every extended family seems to have one like that. You know the type. Ignore the loser.

There are plenty of ways to spot the multitude of wolves populating FR now. They’re first to discredit Trump and dismiss the exposure of flaws of Kamala and Timmy.
