Presidential Election 2020

And Biden picks Harris as VP...the same Harris that the left flank of the DNC sunk because of her history as a prosecutor.

And declined to prosecute Mnuchin.

And her family were slave owners

Harris' family was slave owners. No way can any self-respecting Cancel Culture lefty vote for her (the ticket). If others in history who were slave owners have statues taken down because it is an unforgiveable sin...even 150 years later...then Harris is guilty by association. Her family held black slaves. DQed!

Not sure why Biden picked a GOP-lite VP. I would have gone with Stacey Abrams.

Gawd! it's so easy, it is spelled: The Swamp.

Swamp > Sewer

I won't argue that point as you have more personal experience re: the sewer.

To bad 'Kamala' Harris passed away just a couple of days before being selected to run as VP. I'm sure this is who Biden thought he was selecting .

Free stuff = vote buying

Cell phones, health coverage, food, etc.

Do you really see extension of the federal unemployment giveaway (less $200) and suspension of p/r tax as a vote buying ploy?

giving voters money. with executive orders. 3 months before the election. it doesn't get any more "buying votes" that that. especially with the threat that you may have to pay those taxes after all if he isn't re-elected...

It was pretty long and there's a lot to respond to. Ultimately, I think it boils down to this: is a short term loss worth a long term gain. I don't think "conservative" populism is a good thing. I think it's anti-free market. I also don't think you can call someone a champion of small government when they increase the debt and deficit the way that Trump has (over and above what was already an unsustainable debt load). Beyond all that, the republican party is shrinking. Trump has not grown the party and that is one reason the polls look like they do. Even before COVID his approval ratings were abysmal.

It's not illogical to say you want the party to lose so that it can ultimately be healed. Trump has changed the party and there are plenty of non-populist conservatives who would never join the current GOP (why I left).

Beyond that, the video was an exercise in calling his selected NeverTrumpers hypocrites. That's fine, but it's not a cogent argument. Maybe they were wrong about GWB, but right about Trump?

The guys that better represent my position are David French, Jonah Goldberg, and Steve Hayes. That said, the project Lincoln guys are doing a great job of showing the hypocrisy of the new GOP (well, mainly the converted old GOP holdovers like LadyG, Cruz, Rubio, and the like).

The Lincoln Project is a bunch of clowns. They’re running ads for Biden/Harris.

I think Harris is going to hurt Biden with the African -American vote. You can tell by looking at her that she looks Indian, rather than black African.

Don and Ivanka donated to Harris's DA campaign?

Yep, something like $6,000 or so I hear. Like Trump said back in 2016 he and his family have donated to all kinds of politicians, Dems and Repubs, and anyone else they thought could help them in their private business. So? That's the same reason any of us do so. I donate to candidates who I think can help me later...I donated to two Dem state officials because I knew they were shoe-ins to win the election and I wanted them on the hook...kind of...when I ask for a favor.

Yeah, I know, you're shocked! Trump admitted freely, years ago, that's why he did it. LOL at you, you naive fool.
