We must banish the sickness that today's Democrats have infected American culture with, beginning-too late - with Kamala Harris

  “I’m speaking!” - by Diann Russell

Brutal Polling Slaps Kamala on Day of Crucial Debate With Trump  "Tonight’s debate is the election for both camps. The Waterloo moment is here. The race is virtually tied in the polls. There was no convention bump for Democrats; many are uneasy. You see it on social media, networks, and print. If the election were held today, Donald Trump would win. It’s the same result as it would have been before Democrats pushed Joe Biden off the political cliff. Meet the new boss, same the old boss—both getting beaten by the 45th president of the United States. It’s not a mystery. They all talk about Kamala’s higher ceiling, which is true, but you’ll never exploit that if you keep dodging the media like a scared little girl. 

"Second, Harris’ record is tied to Biden’s serial history of economic and foreign policy failure. Third, her agenda is absurdly left-wing and unelectable. No one trusts her, which is well since she has a laughable grasp of the issues: her plan to combat the inflation she caused at the grocery store is to enact Soviet-style price controls." . . .

President Trump -vs- Kamala Harris, 9:00pm ET Debate - Tuesday 9/10/24 - The Last Refuge  "The details of the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are now clarified."

 A Little Debate Preview ( Derek Hunter )   

. ."What can we expect from the debate? I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of challenging of Donald Trump from the moderators and Kamala Harris. Since the mics will be muted when the other person is talking, Kamala can’t use her pathetic “I’m speaking” garbage, but that will not stop her from scrambling for the victim card." . . . 

 More Bad News Hits Kamala on Night of Crucial Debate With Trump   ...  "Ahead of tonight’s showdown, Kamala got slapped with a CNN deep-dive into her record, which shocked its hosts over the pungent odor of political insanity; the woman wanted to cut ICE funding and provide taxpayer-funded gender mutilation surgeries for illegal aliens. She’s been slapped with brutal polls showing the race virtually tied, which is a Trump win in the Electoral College—Nate Silver gives the former president a 64 percent chance of clinching 270. And now, her policy section rollout struck disaster as the source code shows it’s a copy-and-paste job from the Biden 2024 website. The push to cast her as the “change” candidate imploded, though we knew this wouldn’t work. She’s been in the White House for the past three-and-a-half years. Harris is the incumbent. The revelation comes from a damning piece in The New Republic which warned that the Harris camp can no longer afford to run on vibes, brat antics, and joy [emphasis mine]: . . .

. . ."The fact that this campaign tried to claim that she was any different than Joe Biden or bore no responsibility for the sucky policies of the past four years was never going to fly. She’s the vice president of the United States. Joe’s failures consume this woman, who is an all-around political disaster on her own."

“Unfortunately for Harris, [her issue page’s] release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page’s source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden’s campaign page.” https://t.co/9StjsJs1zH

Sad to say, I have struggled to find respect for many American voters. I see so many keffiyeh-wearing sheep in the streets chanting for men who massacred families, leaving children to bleed out in front of their families, who put infants in toaster ovens alive, who taught likely Democrats to chant "Death to Israel! Death to America!"  Do you think Trump supporters coated historical monuments with layers of paint? Burned American and Israeli flags?

One must hope these people are outnumbered by those sickened over the disgrace brought on America by Biden's inept actions and words, and his sick, vitriolic speeches. TD

Harris Will Defeat Herself During Debate; She simply cannot speak extemporaneously for the length of time required by the format.

They said that not me. TD

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

 In 2020, you will recall, a single exchange with then-Democrat Tulsi Gabbard essentially destroyed the Harris presidential campaign. 

                                                                                          via GIPHY

"ABC News has now published the final rules for Tuesday night’s presidential debate, and they are essentially identical to those which governed the June 27 encounter between former President Trump and President Biden on CNN. They contain nothing that should worry anyone who can stand on stage for 90 minutes and provide coherent two-minute answers to questions involving the major issues of the day. Yet Vice President Harris will be on the stage with Trump Tuesday night precisely because her boss couldn’t get over that low bar. Nor is it obvious that she can clear it either.

"The Harris campaign is well aware of her rhetorical limitations, of course. Consequently, after insisting that Trump was somehow obligated to debate her on Tuesday because he had agreed to face off with Biden that night, the Harris team promptly attempted to change the rules. Specifically, they began pressuring ABC to drop the “muted microphone” precondition originally put in place pursuant to a demand made by the Biden campaign. This rule was meant to protect the President, but it actually worked in Trump’s favor by forcing him to remain quiet while Biden imploded. According to a report in Politico, however, the Harris campaign contended that this rule unfairly constrains her and pushed ABC hard to change it. Somewhat surprisingly, the network stood firm:

Harris and her team — holed up in Pittsburgh for a multi-day debate camp — wanted unmuted microphones so that the vice president could lean on her prosecutorial background, confronting the former president in the same way she laced into some of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and Cabinet members … Harris campaign officials argued that she will be “handcuffed” by the rules, which were negotiated by President Joe Biden’s team earlier this summer.

"The claim that Harris wanted to “lean on her prosecutorial background” in the debate is nonsense. It would violate several debate rules, including this stipulation: “Candidates will not be permitted to ask questions of each other.” A more plausible explanation for their objection to the muted microphone rule involves their fear of what she might say if permitted to speak extemporaneously for even a couple of minutes. They are afraid she might revert to factory settings and start churning out word salads. The Harris campaign badly wants Trump to interrupt her before she says something that permanently damages her campaign."

She wants to have that "I'm speaking!" moment too.

Douglas Murray issues warning over Kamala’s ‘irritating’ debate tactic  "Author Douglas Murray has issued a warning to Donald Trump’s team over Kamala Harris’ likely plan to try and “trap” the former president during the first presidential debate.

" 'Mr Murray referred to the vice president’s tactic used when she faced Mike Pence in the vice presidential debate before the last election where she repeatedly told the Republican running mate “I’m speaking”. “ 'I don't think she'll use that technique, but I bet they've come up with a new one that's equally irritating and equally designed to effectively trap her opponent,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi."

Kamala Harris finally uploads a policy page to her website 50 days after Biden dropped out of the race: Here's what it says...   . . . "The website showcases Harris' support for the bipartisan border deal and slams Trump, similar to what the vice president has done on the campaign trail. It claims she and Biden took action after the deal was killed, but it does not address her work to address the root causes of migration as vice president. 

"Harris has vowed to bring back the bipartisan deal as president and sign it. Her website also claims the vice president knows the immigration system is 'broken' and calls for comprehensive reforms including security and an 'earned pathway to citizenship.' "

Kamala’s policy page is generic mush with some leftism thrown in - Andrea Widburg   "Almost a month into her candidacy, Kamala’s website finally has a policy page. Let’s dive into the specifics—and as to each specific, be sure to ask yourself this question: “For those things Kamala promises as new initiatives, if these are such good ideas, why hasn’t the current administration already done them?' ” . . .

The Cheney Attacks on Trump Will Backfire -

 The American Spectator 

Which goes to the heart of the GOP Establishment’s contempt for Trump. The former president — a self-made billionaire — has turned his back on the elite social class self-regard that Establishment Republicans have for themselves. Whether it was Reagan back then or Trump today, GOP Establishment elites cannot stand conservative Outsiders who have turned their backs on Establishment social elitism.

Broc Smith

  "Clueless.

And decidedly anti-conservative.

Yet again, the dinosaurs of the Republican Establishment are targeting an Outsider. The attack, as always, is backfiring big time.

This time around, it is the decidedly anti-conservative, anti-constitutional Cheneys — dad and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney. And his daughter, the defeated-by-her-GOP-constituents former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney.

Dick Cheney showcases his now decidedly anti-conservative beliefs by openly endorsing the Democrats’ decidedly socialist–Marxist Vice President Kamala Harris. Daughter Liz has done the same. Principle? What’s that?

Make no mistake, the Cheney assault on Trump is merely the current version of the GOP Establishment assault on Outsiders — decided conservatives — who refuse to play the Establishment’s corrupt game.

Take a spin in the time capsule and go back to what GOP Establishment figures of the day said when their target was a conservative Outsider named Ronald Reagan. A sample of it is mentioned here but is worth recalling in view of the Cheney attacks on Trump. As noted at the time:

• Republican Vice President Nelson Rockefeller dismissed Reagan as “a minority of a minority” who “has been taking some extreme positions.” 

• New York’s Republican Sen. Jacob Javits said Reagan’s positions were “so extreme that they would alter our country’s very economic and social structure and our place in the world to such a degree as to make our country’s place at home and abroad, as we know it, a thing of the past.”

•  Illinois Republican Sen. Charles Percy said Reagan’s candidacy was “foolhardy” and would lead to a “crushing defeat” for the Republican Party. “It could signal the beginning of the end of our party as an effective force in American political life,” he said.

•  Former Republican President Gerald Ford said: “I hear more and more often that we don’t want, can’t afford to have a replay of 1964.” He argued that, if the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan, “it would be an impossible situation” because Reagan “is perceived as a most conservative Republican. A very conservative Republican can’t win in a national election.” When he was asked if that meant he thought Reagan couldn’t win, Ford replied to the New York Times: “That’s right.” The Times story went on to observe that Ford thought “Mr. Reagan would be a sure-loser in November” and that Reagan held “extreme and too-simple views.” 

. . ."In a matter of weeks, the American people will have the opportunity to render their own verdict on the Cheneys’ support of Kamala Harris, the socialist–Marxist nominee of the Democrats.

"Stay tuned. 

"But whatever else, it is crystal clear that the Cheney’s have now left their conservatism behind and have no intention of returning. And it will backfire." . . .

The death of loyalty? - Lynne Lechter     . . ."Cheney has stated his reason for supporting Harris is because Trump is the most dangerous person in the country to be president. What?  Really?  I don’t recall Trump giving plane loads of money to Iran — our sworn enemy.  I don’t remember Trump pulling out of Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of 13 Americans — with many more stranded in-country, along with the billions of dollars in materiel that was simply abandoned and is now for sale to America’s enemies. And, at the expense of the American taxpayers.  Both of which occurred under Harris’s tenure as Vice President and who was reportedly — in her own words — “the last person in the room” when these egregious decisions were made.

"I don’t remember Trump ever having been made “Border Czar” as Harris has been for the last three years. Under her watch, she has been to the border exactly once and approximately 6–7 million illegals have sashayed across our Southern border. And, unfortunately they are not just from Mexico and Central American countries looking for a job and more pay, as they were in the past.  No!  Now they are from every country in the world — and mostly single males, with motives unknown." . . .

Cotton Bursts Bash's Bubble on Cheney's Harris Endorsement and Hunter Biden Laptop Lies   

COTTON: Well, I mean, some of this is probably that Donald Trump beat his daughter in her last election by 39 points.  I think most Americans are going to look at this race and compare the records they have. Again, it's a very unusual race when you have a president who served in office, who brought good times to America, and you have Kamala Harris, a San Francisco liberal, who has brought to America exactly what you see in San Francisco, as well.
