Ooops. On the fourth day after Vance-a-mania at the Republican Convention, the Wise Man and Wise Woman behind the Trump campaign were already having second thoughts.
The intense attacks against Harris so far are only a fraction of what will come. Trump is skilled at both character assassination and political self-defense.
The themes of the Harris campaign haven’t even begun to sink in. Wait until you see the polls after she turns “We’re not going back” into the Democrats’ slogan for 2024.
Joe Biden didn’t hug a flag or hold a Bible in some pathetic, pandering photo-op. He didn’t stand in front of a church or crassly parade the uniform of a dead firefighter on stage. He simply modeled both his faith and his patriotism.
It took more than three weeks for dissension to fracture the Democratic Party and less than 24 hours to bring it back together behind Harris.
There are many lessons to be learned from this year’s election. The main one right now, though, is that because the RNC failed three times to protect America from a dictatorial madman that job now falls to us.
The question is, can we as Democrats put our differences aside, dismiss the circular firing squad and come together now, before the convention, and put together the kind of unified, powerful campaign that is necessary to beat Donald Trump?
The tradition of picking a nominee through primaries and caucuses—and not through what is called the “convention system”—is relatively recent.
If one listens to the rambling complaints about America coming from Donald Trump and his camp—or worse, believes them—it is a wonder anyone leaves their front door.
With 90% of people saying Social Security is important to their retirement security, it is useful to understand how it was created and how it has evolved over time.
Here's the thing about political conventions: Apart from their actual purpose, they are ridiculous exercises in excess and what we now call identity signaling. The crowd in Milwaukee, as was the crowd in Miami in 1972, relentlessly white.
Ukrainians have been able to destroy 26 Russian vessels since the start of the war and force Russia’s powerful Black Sea Fleet to flee hundreds of miles to a safer harbor.
Whatever happens over the next few days, Democrats will have to unify and get down to the business of beating Donald Trump and the pool boy he has chosen as his running mate.
Vance gave a speech to the secretive Teneo Network. The GOP vice presidential nominee has been a member of the Leonard Leo-backed group, which seeks to cultivate conservative influence in business and culture.
If you have black or brown skin, or you are attracted to your own sex, or you speak with an accent, or you have a womb in your body, you should be very, very worried. This Supreme Court is out to make the “Handmaid’s Tale” look like it describes a time of moderation and equality.
If Trump and Vance are elected, under the rules defined by Republicans on the Supreme Court they’ll become our first king and king-in-waiting.
