[RTH10260]

With an Obama daughter to follow

Exactly. It very much annoys me when I hear people wanting to go backwards and drink from the same well. Stupid IMO.

Give me a DEI hire.

Agree.

[tek]

A few years ago some of us (guilty!) were lamenting that the Dems had such a shallow bench.

Deep and wide, baby!

I thought I saw a little wink emoji on RTH post, not sure he was actually putting that forth as something serious.

[RTH10260]

ps. the older one, Malia Obama, would not yet be elligible for POTUS in 2032, one year too young

[Dave from down under]

My 33 y/o daughter told me a few years ago that AOC would be president some day. I hope I'm still around to see it.

[Reddog]

In 8 years I think Sec’y Pete will be 50.

[Reddog]

8 years after that AOC will be about 50

Sung to the refrain of "Pony Boy"-

Harris-Walz, Harris-Walz, cast your vote for Harris-Walz!
Get it done, they're the ones, who we need right now!
They'll put Trump, in a dump, right where he belongs!
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, vote for Harris-Walz!

Off Topic

"Pony Boy" has been a family standard song all my life and I have never met anyone outside my family that heard it before! We bounce the kids on our knees to it; they love it!

Just because I love the headline:

Harris has a seven-point advantage over Trump — 50% to 43% — nationally, per the latest Fairleigh Dickinson University survey. The poll showed “Harris’ lead grows substantially” over questions of race and gender.

From the FDU poll: “Among voters who were not primed to think about the race or sex of the candidates, Harris and Trump are tied (47 to 48). When the list of issues mentions the sex of the candidates, Harris pulls ahead, 52 to 42. And when the race of the candidates is mentioned, Harris holds a 14-point lead, 53 to 39, a 15-point shift from the baseline condition.”

“When voters are thinking about race or sex, Trump’s support just plummets,” Dan Cassino, a professor of government and politics at Fairleigh Dickinson and the executive director of the poll, said. “All the time, we hear strategists and pundits saying that Democratic candidates shouldn’t talk about identity, but these results show that making race and sex salient to voters is bad for Trump and boosts Harris.”

Other key takeaways from the survey:

Harris leads Trump 50 to 43 among likely voters.
Both Trump and Harris have the support of 95% of their respective political parties.
Harris leads Trump 38 to 33 among independents who do not lean toward either party
Seven percent said they will support someone else.

“Trump has built his political career around a very specific performance of whiteness and masculinity,” “In the past, that’s been seen as a strength, but it’s no longer clear that it’s working.”

I've seen several articles about pro Palestinian voters in Michigan who are so pissed at Harris they're threatening to make trump president. I get why they're upset with the Biden policy. What Israel has been doing to innocent Palestinians is horrific. But don't they understand that trump wants to nuke Palestine off the face of the earth? Talk about cutting off your nose despite your face.

Oh, I still remember very clearly being in a meeting of so-called progressives in 2016, and the kids were telling us that it was Bernie or else. They weren't voting for the lesser of two evils.

Which is how we got the greater of two evils instead.

Again, national polls are beyond worthless.

State electoral votes!!

[zekeb]

I don't have a problem with electoral votes if they weren't winner take all, as most states do. Of course gerrymandering needs to be nipped too.

Don't know about that, but right about now I would like to relocate most of the population of Australia to the USA and register them to vote.
