🇺🇸 Fell Out of a Coconut Tree, It's Kamalot: The Kamala Harris Thread

[Lily Adler]

I don't know but Magnar makes a good point, and a good motive to why it was ruled suicide.

Dems: But you want to win you have to look over flaws. He can win us Pennsylvania and we stop Trump. That's good.

My biggest concern about all of the, how do you say?, Hype around the VP selection is that "deep bench" stuff. "Oh, everyone is SO good"...blah blah blah. There's a downside to every pick (well, not JDownerside down), but I'm concerned that some in PA will feel offended if it isn't Shapiro, AZ might drift if it isn't Kelly (it won't be), many will be disappointed if it isn't Walz (including me). But, here's the thing....just take a look at the republican side of the race and think for a minute.

Jerome Powell needs to cut the interest rate instead of waiting for 2% inflation.

Spreading more disinformation. Who needs Russia when the richest man in the world is doing it for you?

Opinion | Kamala Harris shouldn’t ignore immigration. She should run on it.

Immigrants help maintain the country's economic stability. Harris should make Trump run against that.

Absolutely no surprise here. I’m sure he’s sent it back to the drawing board to ensure it comes back with more effective election disinfo.

Georgia was fading from the presidential battleground map. But Kamala Harris has put the state back in play.

For months, Trump thought Georgia would be an easy win for him in November. Then came Vice President Harris, who has upended his plans.

There are three scenarios:

She picks Mad Dog Walz and her momentum goes into hyperdrive.

She picks Kelly and slows her momentum a bit.

Or she picks Shapiro and her momentum comes to a screeching halt.

Tim Walz it is, then. (That would probably be my pick, too.)

I'm thinking Beshear has an almost equal chance as Walz. Him being popular in a deep red state matters and he was UAW's top choice.

Either would be a good choice, probably.

 

[Ironfan72]

Think I would be happy with either Beshear or Walz at this point, Shapiro seems to have alot of baggage that would drag down the campaign, and there isnt time to to lose that momentum, especially with Trump melting down and Vance well, its Vance, he didnt bring anything but Tech money to trump and even that isnt much, i expect Trump to dump him soon.

How Kamala Harris is still the pride of her Indian ancestral village

Some 8,000 miles from Washington DC, this village in southern Tamil Nadu is an unlikely pocket of fervent support for the presumptive 2024 Democratic candidate. Vishwam Sankaran meets locals who are hoping to see one of their own named the next US president

Trump: So now she's back to just being Indian.

 

[Lily Adler]

I've been seeing many articles about Democrats think Shapiro will be a "fantastic candidate" or "he's so charismatic". I pray this isn't signaling they're pushing him on her.

 

[Babillygunn]

I’m hoping that Kamala gets an endorsement from the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Then it’ll be game over for Trump.

Shapiro seems like a flame that'll burn so bright , it'll burn the whole place down.

He may have his time in the future, but I think she should stick with the safer bets Beshear, Waltz or Kelly.

With Shaprio, I feel like Kamala would always have to be looking over her shoulder , while at the same time , defending him.

Rally dates are set. Venues are chosen. The only thing missing for Harris is her VP choice

The dates are set. The venues are chosen. The only thing missing from this week’s campaign blitz with Vice President Kamala Harris and her 2024 running mate is the name of that running mate.

All in all it's just a
nother vote for the Walz.

I honestly thought Ric Flair died back in 2010s.
