On paper, your "other than" is exactly what I'm talking about. On paper you don't hear her speak, don't notice her failure to articulate even simple ideas, don't hear her screeching, abrasive voice, don't understand that she doesn't understand. She's DEI perfection - a female POC. That's what I mean by "on paper".

They wanted to keep her in a box the same way they have with Toxic Joe, but she can't even fit into that box. His staff sees how she treated her staff and understands that she can't play the game, and that they won't even be the ones to try to explain it to her. But that took a while and it looked so good before Joe performed a shotgun wedding in revenge for being pushed aside.

What I'm finding most amusing about this is a dawning appreciation on the Dems' movers and shakers' part that even if they drag her over the finish line, they'll be stuck with her. Too bad that won't be funny for the rest of the country.

“Yeah they have such impressive people in the Democrat party - like Hell!”

He said they are impressive politicians and candidates. Which is absolutely true, but being a politician and candidate is all they are good at. The Democrats are great at winning elections, but what comes after, statesmanship and good governance, they are everything you said and worse.

To Big Mike and Ophonybama, race IS the issue!

Both of them are racist to their core!

In these particular cases, the relevant factor about tall people is their height, not their race.

I’ve had women ask me to get something off the top shelf in the supermarket.

They usually are a bit sheepish, but I tell them I don’t mind.

I will not believe that the Democrat ticket is doomed until after the election and they go disappearing into the sunset. There is too much election fraud for even a popular Republican candidate to sail smoothly to victory.

Kamala Harris is an embarrassment to women. She basically got ahead in politics the way starlets get ahead in Hollywood, through the casting couch. The Democrats claim to support women’s rights, but when all they can offer is someone who got where she is through the political equivalent of a casting couch, they demonstrate that they don’t care about women’s equality at all.

Democrats “Doomed”?

Sad to say but that is wishful thinking.

Democrats will manufacture all the bogus ‘votes’ they need to steal another presidential election and as many Senate elections as they need to hold on to the majority.

Why wouldn’t they?

The whole world knows they stole the presidency in 2020 and senate races in 2022 without any one being held responsible or being penalized.

The only people who were punished are those who challenged their election stealing.

I think he means Walz was supposed to be the token white man, to keep whites and men from bailing.

I don't know the money side of campaign law, but I heard talk after the White House production of Joe-lius Caeser (et tu, Kamala?), that if anyone other than Kamala has been picked then the money contributed to Biden's reelection campaign could not have been used for direct spending. The money men who stopped contributing until Joe was gone would have given any other candidate a good start, but they would have lost a lot of freedom over what they could do with the past years of fundraising.

Next, Harris and her backers used identity politics to select Walz as her running mate.

I think that is referring to Pennsylvania governor Shapiro being a J-E-W. Not exactly a favorite among the Neue Kristallnacht crowd from the leftist colleges today.

We never saw her for 3.5 years. Harris did nothing! But you’re right. Biden, his staff and her staff knew how inherently histrionic she is. Biden shoved her at Pelosi and Schumer as payback. LOL!
Harris couldn’t hide it for long under pressure and her psychiatric issues were on full display during the FOX “interview” with Baier. She lost it and her staff had to pull her off! Her staff probably threw her in her limousine and gave her a drink and a sedative. Even so, she was still incensed and screaming at her Michigan rally.
It’s a good thing she’s never had any kids. She’s a Joan Crawford, a “Mommie Dearest.”
“I SAID NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!”
She manipulator of men and doesn’t get along well with women who see through her.
Now the regime is stuck with her because they had NO IDEA what she’s REALLY like!
They deserve it!
Most of the democrat women who tout her on the MSM are exactly like her!

It was the fact that the world realized “We finally beat Medicare” was demented and they were stuck with a ticket holding $100 million in cash donations they couldn’t use unless that half-witted moron Harris was the nominee.

So they all got together (PTBs, DNC, MSM - et al) and asked themselves, “Can we do this? Can we pull it off?”

And they figured that with those millions supporting outrageous lies and claims, MSM and the DNC supporting them, that with two assassination attempts, aircraft engine problems, etc. it could all just work. And there was still the old back up Democrat cheat machine.

Kamala’s was the next in line. Clyburn threatened to withhold the black vote if she was skipped over. Not complicated.

Why did Kamala choose Tim Walz. Simple, she is a Radical Progressive and needed another Radical Progressive on the Ticket.

The goal of a Radical Progressive is the Deconstruction of America. And once you understand this, what Kamala and Tim Walz say and do start to make sense.

They have no need to solve anything like severe supply chain problems. Stop the drugs and killers from Hopping the Borders... Oh, we will do the opposite... Release them and give them the vote.

Ukraine War... throw money at it. Use it to keep in Power (they think).

Israel War... Give Gaza back to the Palestinians to rinse recycle and repeat. And again, throw money at it (like they did with Iran - Biden funded this war).

Transgender men destroying Girls Sports. Celebrate it. Get rid of women's sports as they are not "inclusive" enough.

Accelerate the Weaponization of the Justice Department against US Citizens and harassment of their opponents. The Persecution of folks like Trump will only accelerate.
