Calmes: Top 10 reasons not to vote for Donald Trump (barf)
LA Times ^ | Oct 20, 2024 | Jackie Calmes

Posted on 10/20/2024 4:01:58 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

The only challenge here was limiting myself to 10 arguments against Donald Trump (and one good reason to vote for Kamala Harris). So, drum roll, working toward No. 1:

10: As president, he violated his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”

9: He still won’t say that he’ll accept the voters’ verdict.

8: He will be held accountable for his alleged crimes as president only if he is defeated.

7: He’d be the first president with a serious rap sheet.

6: He’s unfit to be president.

5: He’s a threat to national security.

4: He doesn’t know or care how to constructively address the nation’s problems.

3: He’d further pack the federal courts with right-wing ideologues.

2. He’s a pathological liar.

1. He was not, and would not be, a president for all Americans.

Amazing how the rats never apply those standards to themselves, such as numbers 1 & 2 definitely could be connected to Comrade K.

And #3 is a great reason to vote for Trump (even if the ones he picks sometimes go off the rails).

“2. He’s a pathological liar.”

This from the Inveterate Liars Club, the democrat party.

#10 These people really think that Clinton, Obama and Biden were for ‘all Americans’? Talking about delusional.

These guys have nothing. “Harris/Walz Feed Kids/Fix Roads” signs are all central Va. WTF?!

Joined the LAT in 2017 after a stint as a WH editor....that means she worked for Obama... Seems like her wrap sheet is all about bitching that Republicans have taken over the judiciary or something.

It’s gonna be fun reading her ‘column’ when Trump wins again.

Sounds like you got your list mixed up with the the one for Harris/Walz.

If you look at this list as a chiasm, with #6 being the central point, then it becomes a circular argument.
There is no objective support for 1-5 and 8-10.
7 is supportive but the accusations are fairy-tales.

If you focus on #6 alone and ask, “How is Trump unfit for POTUS?”, Calmes only answers would be the rest of the list.
It’s saying “He’s unfit because he’s unfit.”
The ‘parent argument’...it IS because I say so!

Now, go clean-up your room.

Well, you can’t argue with true libtard demonrats; they’ll drag you down to their intellectual level and beat you with experience.

This is simply a list describing the entire Democratic Party....with the usual projection onto others. They use the tactic to deflect their own actions.

Not that I agree with him on everything, but Bill O’Reilly gives us one good reason to not vote for Kamala Harris.

“I never really liked Ms. Harris as a politician because I don’t believe she understands the problems much less could solve them. Now I am 100% convinced Harris does not have the ability to run this country and if elected she would be worse than Joe Biden.”

Is this a real newspaper that people actually pay money to subscribe to?

This editorial writer would have this essay, with all of its specious, ad hominem garbage, spiked by any good high school weekly's editor. Really.

Embarrassing.

Democrats repeat talking points like Trump is a felon or he is a rich big mouth. They can never just say his policies are better than their lunatic candidates Harris and Walz.
The Democrats do not have a good alternative to Trump. Biden is a terrible President and Harris would be worse than terrible. Trump should wave the terrible towel tonight at the Steeler’s game, against his opponent Harris and sidekick knucklehead Walz.

Obonzo did this same thing. It appears he’s running the “campaign” now.
