We are approching the weekend before the 2024 Presidential Election and what a differnce in the two campaigns….
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are out doing retail politics….
Making stops AMONG the voters…..
Making appearances and answering questions…..
Donald Trump & Co. are talking about lawyers……
Trying to run away from a Madison Square appaerance that has caused them grief….
That while Trump is ‘sure’ he’s gonn a win?
BUT?
He’s back to crying about the vote?
Oh?
And doing stunts that almost had him fall out of a garbage truck?
And making fries at McDonald…..
Harris campaigning….
Kamala Harris on Tuesday night warned Americans that Donald Trump would open up a floodgate of vengeance against his political rivals, including ordinary citizens, while promising that she’d work tirelessly for every American.
“In less than 90 days, either Donald Trump or I will be in the Oval Office,” Harris said from the Ellipse in Washington, DC, pivoting to the visage of the White House behind her as she delivered what her campaign had billed as a “closing argument” speech.
“On day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. When elected, I will walk in with a to-do list full of priorities on what I will get done for the American people.”
Standing where Trump told his supporters on January 6, 2021, to “fight like hell,” shortly before they ransacked the US Capitol, Harris described the election as an existential choice between the liberties she promised to protect and the “chaos and division” that she said would follow Trump back into the White House….
…
State of play: Trump and his allies’ closing message has often descended into pointed, personal attacks at Harris and others even though Trump called Sunday’s rally a “love fest.”
- However, the Trump campaign said in a statement that Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
- In addition to his comments about Puerto Rico, Hinchcliffe, also known as “Kill Tony,” made racist jokes about Black people, Palestinians, Jews and Latinos broadly at Trump’s New York rally.
Zoom out: Democrats have sought to frame the rally rhetoric as keeping in line with Trump’s commonly inflammatory language.
- An ad from Elon Musk’s pro-Trump super PAC repeatedly labeling Harris and other Democrats as the “c-word” (in this case, “communist”) and other controversies have further played into campaign rhetoric…..
…
“Before Election Day has even arrived, the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement has reemerged in force, with some of the same activists who tried to overturn former President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss outlining a step-by-step guide to undermine the results if he falls short again,” CNN reports.
“For months, those activists – who have been priming Trump supporters to believe the only way the former president can lose in 2024 is through fraud – have laid out proposals to thwart a potential Kamala Harris victory.”
“Their plans include challenging results in court, pressuring lawmakers to block election certification, and encouraging protests – culminating on January 6, 2025, the day Congress will once again certify the results.”
…
Trump and Women support trouble….
“They said, ‘Sir, I just think it’s inappropriate for you to say.’ I pay these guys a lot of money; can you believe it?” Trump continued. “I said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I’m going to protect them. I’m going to protect them from migrants coming in. I’m going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things.’”
Harris campaign aides were quick to highlight the remarks, arguing it showed Trump did not care about women voters.
“Defining line of this campaign? Trump: ‘I’m gonna do it whether the women like it or not,’” Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer posted on X.
“Saying the quiet part out loud there,” Lauren Hitt, another Harris campaign aide, posted on X….
…
Trump has had trouble winning over female voters in his past two presidential campaigns, and polls have shown that he once again trails Harris, who has rapidly consolidated support among female voters since she replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket. Harris has made reproductive rights central to her campaign, blaming Trump for the end of Roe v. Wade and the restrictive abortion bans subsequently passed by states across the country…..

I loved the guy at one point, but at his current rate of decline, he’ll have the shortest post Presidency since James Polk in 1849. Utterly sad. Glad he made way for Kamala Harris, who is actually up to the job.
