Kamala Harris ran a historically terrible campaign after being crowned as the nominee by Democrat leadership behind closed doors after Biden’s cognitive nosedive, only to lose every single swing state and have the shame of being the only Democrat to lose the popular vote in 20 years.

Now, they want to see her run it back, and polling indicates that JD Vance will be her opponent. Vance has captured the hearts of many in the Republican camps after his quick ascendency from junior senator to the vice presidency, and there have been more than a few rumblings indicating that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be his running mate.

Harris, on the other hand, blew $40 million on her 2020 presidential bid where she accused Joe Biden of supporting racist policies in the most canned political moment in living memory, just to fail upward after Biden named her as his running mate. She’d follow that trend into 2024.

If she finally makes it through a primary election in 2028, it will be a gift to Republicans.

Let’s be honest: Harris IS the best choice, and what does that say?!

They’d walk a mile for a Kamala...

I know that some here disagree... but I actually do think that KH would be a more rational choice for the Dems than NewScum. The guy is so disastrously bad with such an abysmal record that’s it utterly insane that’s he considered one of their top people. Yes, Kamala is a cackling, boozy, idiot ... but she’s never really been in complete charge of anything (other as county/state prosecutor) so there’s not really that much of a record to pin on her. Yes, she was kinda sorta border czar under Biden, but even with that, she can say that, hey don’t blame her, she was just carrying out Biden’s policies. But Newsom was chief executive for San Francisco and California, and by any metric he left devastation in his wake.

KAMALALALALA!

The downside may be this: Harris in the news so much the next couple of years may serve to make the goofball Newsom look good by comparison.

Most of us MAGAs want a drunken “Woke Salad Kami” to run again. Drunk Jamaican Canadian Injuns make us laugh.

The only polls that are important right now are those of the 23 House seats that were determined by less than 5% in 2024.

Yes districts are being redrawn but most of those are not among them. Why are we not pulling those districts?

Too funny, but bring it on.

Vance wiped the floor with Walz in the VP debate and Kamalala is even more stupid than Walz.

And by 2028, just like 2016-2020, the lying, cheating, hypocritical, fraudulent woke liberal democrat party will have had FOUR YEARS to figure out how to rig another election. God willing, Conservatives will be on point enough to not let it happen again. The fact the dems have chosen Kamablah tells me that they’re thinking that they can do a replay of the 2020 election. God help us all if they do.

After this weekend, I think AOC would make a great Secretary of State. /sarc

Is that Democrat voters or the oligarchs of the DNC who have decided that democracy means they make all the decisions for the democrats?

As Rush used to say, “The events that will determine the outcome of the election have not happened yet.”
