Vice President Harris does look like a very strong candidate for the Presidency but might there be any other contenders?
In any case, Vice President Harris would be a deadly contender against Mr Trump.

Post #3There are things I like about Kennedy, but he's kind of a nut. His economic and environmental policies oveall align quite closely with Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, both of whom are too unpopular specifically for those policies. Unfortunately, though, Kennedy is a bit of a antiscience reactionary and is both antivax and anti-nuclear power. If the goal is to beat Trump, he's the worst of all worlds. Anyone that is progressive enough to vote for him was already voting for Biden and would probably vote for Harris. The best Kennedy could offer is in being a bit more narrow than Trump in which conspiracy theories he endorses.Purple Knight wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 11:54 pmI really wish they would have just nominated Robert Kennedy.
I'd rather have Kennedy than Trump, but I'd rather have Warren than Kennedy and Harris has a better shot at beating Trump than either of them.
My pronouns are he, him, and his.

Post #4Kennedy dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump tells you all you need to know about why the Democrats didn't "just" nominate him.Purple Knight wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 11:54 pm I really wish they would have just nominated Robert Kennedy.

Post #5It tells me that reasonable, moderate people have given up on getting elected. I ought to vote for Harris just to spite him.historia wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 12:17 pmKennedy dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump tells you all you need to know about why the Democrats didn't "just" nominate him.Purple Knight wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 11:54 pm I really wish they would have just nominated Robert Kennedy.
In fact, I might make this a rule. If I was going to vote for you and you drop out and throw your support behind someone, I will vote for that someone's opponent. People who give in to the idea that they or any other third party candidate "can't win" and perpetuate it, do not tell me how to vote.

Post #6Democrats have a long history of running on lies and fraud, but Americans are wise to them now so there is not really any democrat who can fool the majority of the American people into voting another democrat into the office of president.

Post #7Well now.....so you've got an honest, decent, kind, loving, giving, peaceful, law-abiding and true Christian for your President in a few days time.
Is that right?
Good luck to you

Post #8Trump can be trusted and democrats have proven they cannot be trusted. I voted for Trump not for pastor or theocratic leader but for honest president who faithfully represents the rights enumerated in the Constitution for all Americans.

Post #10I suspect Trump will be much friendlier to Christians than leading democrat politicians who described Christians as "deplorables" and "garbage."
