Sure, Trump is a liar. Trump is a coward. Trump is a crook. But apart from that....

@whowasthatmaskedman

And yet the Harris campaign raised about 3x as much as the Trump campaign.

Something about lipstick and a pig...? 🤔

@Thinkerbell But the Harris campaign wasnt the Harris campaign until a month before the election. It was the Biden campaign. That whole strategy was designed to fail. Remember that Biden won on the strategu of being a one term President. But the party convinced him to run for two. Then pulled the rug out. There is the money pulling the strings..
Even so, with America you are still electing the new captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg..😷

Kamala had a little over 3 months; Biden pulled out of the race on July 21, 2024.

And he didn't say he would be a 1-term president, but a "transitional" one. I think his (or his handlers') plan was to resign at some point during his second term, making Kamala the first woman of color US president in history. He and his handlers surely knew about his cognitive decline and his prostate cancer making it unlikely that he could function for a full second term.

Instead, his debate performance on June 27 was so bad that he was forced out by the Democrats' Establishment, who thought that even airhead Kamala had a better chance of winning. As Carville said, "Winning is everything."

And no, I don't think the big Democrat donors spent all that money on a grand conspiracy to elect Trump.

@Thinkerbell OK. Here is the actual history as reported..Going back to 2019...https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/4718993-did-biden-break-his-one-term-pledge/

@whowasthatmaskedman

According to your link:

"So Biden never explicitly made a one-term promise during the campaign, but he certainly implied it with the language of “transition.” "

And according to a source in your link, this was the nature of Biden's "pledge":

"While the option of making a public pledge remains available, Biden has for now settled on an alternative strategy: quietly indicating that he will almost certainly not run for a second term while declining to make a promise that he and his advisers fear could turn him into a lame duck and sap him of his political capital."

Biden also announced his running mate before he had even secured the nomination. This of course was part of a deal he made with Cliburn to rescue his floundering primary campaign in 2020. His private "pledge" was most likely to bolster support for the 2020 primaries from those who had (justified) doubts about him.

@Thinkerbell Yes.. I read that as a "strong hint" but not a promise..However, having decided (unwisely in my view) to run a second time, the worst thing he could do was to pull out so late and leave her without a record or a base. She should have been given an apprenticeship (forgive the term) in his term and had her own spotlight. Instead she was thrown to the Republican wolves to gut before she had a chance..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman

Five comments back you said, "But the party convinced him to run for two."

If so, that was only two months into Biden's presidency (i.e., March, 2021).

Again, according to your link:

"By March 2021, Biden was saying something entirely different. “My plan is to run for reelection. That’s my expectation,” he said shortly after he was inaugurated."

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/4718993-did-biden-break-his-one-term-pledge/

@Thinkerbell Yes to both. And politicians and their parties flip flopping is an olympic sport. I can argue my opinions. In that case, no person over 70 should be allowed to remain President. The job is too big and too important to the whole nation. But my opinions arent what dictates policy. That does cut back to my other point, that the Democrats did assist in their own failure as a result of the decisions pushed at them by the big donars to the party..😷
