Harris in



Kamala Harris' "intro" today was pure electricity. Joe Biden seems to have pulled off a masterstroke of political maneuvering. AFTER the GOP Convention, where they aimed all their guns at Biden, he walks, endorsing Kamala for president, and the majority of the Democrats fell in line and also endorsed Harris. ActBlue set a one-day record for donations, somewhere over $81 million donated to Harris campaign, and most all of it from small donors.

Democrats have been waiting for someone with some fire to take it to Trump, and I think Kamala is ready. Yeah, I'd say the Dems just got fired up, and the GOP is likely shitting in their pants like their orange hero.

For any of you who missed it, and probably not many did, here is Kamala with her 18-minute speech at her campaign HQ in Delaware.


I love Joe Biden to death, but his verbal stumbles were distracting from the issues at hand. There was a lot of ambivalence out there about Joe's ability, and it was draining energy from the party. Joe never did really take it to Donald Trump. Sure, Joe called Trump a liar more than once, but it never was much of a sustained attack. Practically NO ONE has sustained an attack on Trump. Hardly anyone has hammered Trump on all of his lies, and Kamala Harris might just be the perfect person to do it.

Already today, enough of the Democratic delegates that had pledged to Biden switched their votes to Kamala, and voila! just like that she has enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

And now suddenly, look who has the oldest nominee for president EVER: the GOP. Whose candidate is showing obvious signs of .... being not well? Trump's 92-minute acceptance speech at the GOP convention was Fidel Castro-ish or Hugo Chavez-like, rambling on and on about bullshit. He had the prime time TV audience, and he used it alright. He exposed himself to the country as a rambling incoherent fool. And here comes the buzzsaw otherwise known as Kamala Harris. Chop, chop, Donny.

There is good reason to be excited, Democrats. We now have our tiger in place and she is going to put Trump in his place.
