I've said for a long time now that anyone who is fit to be president would be too smart to take the job.

Maybe Groucho Marx would have been a good candidate.

Can you name the positive things that have come from Kamala Harris? Just being VP doesn’t cut it. Maybe starting the ukraine war? Policies? Or just deflect to Trump sucks? Maybe if she answered some interview questions with something other than “some things have improved but others need work” I’d consider listening more but there is nothing either side says worth listening to.

She is the definition of a Post Turtle.

Positive things……
Well she was razed in a middle class family as opposed to being born rich. She passed the bar and worked as a prosecutor and was elected to be attorney general of a state that is the 5 largest economy in the world. She then ran and was elected as a senator of that same state. So she has been a prosecutor, an attorney general, a senator and a vice president. Sound like a pretty good job path to learn what you need to know to be present.
Or we can choose someone born rich, that has bankrupt 5 companies, been convicted 31 felony’s of document fraud, owns nys half a billion bucks in tax fraud fines and he attempted coup when he lost the last election.

Trump can be lawless, Harris has to be flawless

I was in Carlsbad last spring visiting my 93 year old mother-in-law. Amazing state, the land is so different from our glacier crushed land. Remind me again, which red state has a higher gdp than California? Maybe every state should be run like Mississippi or Alabama . Crap schools, low average income and almost no public services….. I guess it’s a goal for some.

Where are the good candidates? are they all working at the think tanks, and don't want to be a talking head?

---

the vote for Trump was a vote against H.Clinton - the vote for Biden and now Harris is a vote against Trump.

If Harris doesn't fall down the stairs, fall asleep at dinner, have a pet that bites, incites riots, makes fun of elected officials when they disagree, calls the press dirty when they ask a direct question - and maybe actually answers a question,
there is a chance the whole country could be a bit more proud, perhaps stop expanding the deficit, then start reeling it in.
(could use an eReel here, cause ouch)

anyone that ever created a budget knows to spend it all, and a little more, or lose it.
the last politician I remember that stuck his middle finger up at the budget makers was Gov Christie - as big an idiot move he made by going to the beach when everyone was home, he stopped the unfundable geometric expansion - trying to hug Jerry Jones at the Dallas game was pretty bad too - I kinda think he lost any chance at the pres nomination there - being a national game and all. I know there are people on here who were directly affected by his decisions, and will have a very different opinion. *Respect*

I guess I am a little older than everyone else Governor Florio was the last NJ governor that had a balanced budget and had the state in the black 1990 to 1994. Lost the next election because he taxed toilet paper and raised sales tax to 7%. The last time the USA had a balanced budget was during President Clinton. What to these 2 men have in common? They both worked across the aisle....... If you don't believe me please go fact check it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, so a state where they have to hide the homeless when the president of china comes over is a success? My buddy and his wife lived in silicon valley for 5 years working at facebook and couldn’t afford a middle class starter home.

Please explain? If printing $6 trillion is what you mean then I guess that is a success.

Hmmm...GM claimed bankruptcy and we bailed them out....we saved Citigroup from claiming bankruptcy. You know Donald Trump's net worth is greater now than it was in 1990? Hmmm...sometimes you fail to move ahead. You need to take risk to make money. Why are his bankrupt companies even a topic? That's dumb.
 
This is interesting. Another point in Dave's favor. Trump is a business person. success and failure are part of it. In many cases trump was selling his name for a piece of the business. Trump made himself a brand, so it is very public. Tax cheat, well maybe. They all do, and again it is just public and the attorneys do their thing

The problem I return to is the dismissing of anyone that doesn't agree, and the ostracizing of anyone not holding the co line. There is only one way. That is never true

Gotta get over the government overspending.

Do you think that Clinton balancing the budget and 9/11 are coincidence?
