Trump’s New Rival May Bring Out His Harshest Instincts
The New York Times ^ | July 23, 2024, 5:03 a.m. ET | Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

Donald J. Trump and his political team spent nearly two years tailoring a campaign to defeat an old white male president who is conspicuously frail and who most Americans had told pollsters they doubted could handle another four-year term.

Suddenly, Mr. Trump faces a starkly different opponent: a vice president who is a Black woman, nearly 20 years younger, and who brings her own strengths and weaknesses but who adds new uncertainty into what had been a remarkably static race.

Allies of Ms. Harris have already telegraphed that she will run a campaign framed around a “prosecutor versus felon” theme, highlighting her experience as a prosecutor and underscoring the fact that Mr. Trump has been indicted in multiple jurisdictions and convicted of 34 felonies.

The prosecutor-versus-felon approach may appeal to undecided voters who had been sour on both Mr. Trump and President Biden. It may also goad Mr. Trump, who reacts strongly to criticism, into resurrecting the language he has used against other Black female prosecutors, such as Letitia James in New York and Fani Willis in Georgia, both of whom he has called “racist” and attacked in personal terms.

In a preview of what’s to come, Ms. Harris made the prosecutor’s attack line explicit during an appearance on Monday, describing her past as the district attorney of San Francisco and the attorney general of California.

“In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds: Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type,” she said.

The New York Times is a fake news outlet. Every word it publishes is either a lie or projection. Article presented for the benefit of those who want to know what their enemy is up to, not for those who want to stick their collective heads up their collective Obamas and pretend it is nighttime.

Harris has melanin but she is NOT “Black”.

Color her Caribbean.

Or maybe not? Trump might decide that the smartest line is to treat KH as a lightweight, not to be taken seriously.

Their assassin’s bullet missed.

Now they are back to their kangaroo courts.

I doubt if undecided voters are going to be swayed Democrat once they learn that the prosecutions in those cases are Democrat Party hacks.

a vice president who is a cackling, ignorant, unintelligent, gibbering, smarmy, phony, smirking whore; the descendant of Jamaican slave-peddlers and an Indian national.

Who dreamed her up to be VP in the first place?

I think Trump knows exactly how to not help when the enemy is self-destructing.

Of course, this is the New York slimes. You can’t trust anything they say, they have proven that repeatedly over the last several decades. In this article, they start off by saying that Kamala Harris is a black woman. No, actually she isn’t. She is half Jamaican and half Indian. If she was qualified to be president, I don’t think anybody would have a problem with this. However, she has seemingly all of the mental infirmities of Joe Biden, without the excuse of, being old and having dementia. She’s already trailing in many poles, not the least reason for which is that the Democratic Party doesn’t even like her. She was rejected by Democrat voters resoundingly in 2020.

Besides, Walter has to do is saddle her with the failures of the Biden administration. That will not be the least bit difficult, especially since she was the “immigration czar” for an utterly failed policy - which she still backs.

Putting racial armor around Kamala by calling her black even though she has probably very little African heritage. They pretend that they aren’t using the darker skin complexion as their proof.

The only black DNA in Harris is Willie Brown's.

Lawfare worked pretty well for them so far. Let them keep at it!

Stop your garbage right there. I would think this would be offensive to black women.

Thanks. I could use a good dose of “intellectual heft” about now.

The NYT is now treating us to things Trump may do. This is commonly known as "making sh*t up".

She’s not a Black woman. You two pixie honkies need to wake up. Sbe’s an Indo/Caribbeaner. You idiots need to get real jobs.
