Just wait until the first debate...
Trump debating a woman is going to be a disaster, and GOP strategists are already talking about it. All this will turn on its head.
TFW Hillary isn't a woman
Clinton didn't call trump out on being a weird little freak during debates. Harris will. If he tries to creepily follow her around like he did to Hillary, Kamala will stop, turn around, and be like "wtf are you doing, you gross creep? Quit following me. See, this is what I'm talking about. He's a predator. He doesn't know how to conduct himself. He's too antagonistic and weird to be trusted to keep tensions low and Americans safe. This sex pest belongs in prison, not the oval office. No other world leader behaves in this manner. I don't know why my secret service detail is even allowing this convicted felon to be this close to America's Vice President in the first place, especially while he's practically foaming at the mouth. Why are you so angry? Just retire and go golfing already. Stop forcing Melania to make public appearances to reinforce the illusion that the third time was the charm just so you can take credit for Nazis ruining the country some more... Anyway, back to the question..."
I firmly believe that "will you shut up, man?" was what won 2020 for Biden. Kamala Harris needs to keep her cool like 98% of the time and then allow her frustrations as a fellow human in this absurd time to leak out past her diplomatic filters 2% of the time. It just needs to be firm and calm, and she needs to not apologize afterward when Fox News tries to pretend that she's unstable or "hormonal" or whatever misogynistic/racist framing they come up with. I hope she would double down and say "the man's an asshole. I'm not apologizing for him being an asshole. If you want an apology, go bother him for one."
Omg! If she said exactly that, i would just start cheering and crying!!
Are we sure she's even human
I imagine she identifies as human
I'll identify as a 1999 Ford Focus if I feel like it, but that doesn't really reflect reality
He doesn't have a "lock her up"
... And his opponent... Does.
Hillary was a beltway insider and a policy wonk that came across as whiny when she needed to be seen as confident and firm. Harris will do better against Trump than Hillary ever could.
It was also when we had no clue how Trump would handle the presidency, and Americans were tired of the same repeated political lip service politicians have been spewing for decades. Hillary was the symbolic epitome of the establishment many Americans were and are sick of. Though now that we know with examples what an unhinged lunatic Trump is, Harris might have a better shot as long as she presents sanity and competence while gracefully waving away Trump's looney nonsense.
I don't doubt that, I'm just saying, she a woman.
Word homie, I'm just saying, she's a woman that trump debated.
Trump will never take a debate against Harris. His personal encounters with prosecutors haven't gone well these last couple years.
I think you are right. He has everything to lose. Only if he starts slipping in the polls he might have to. I hope it happens.
He'd be:
Recipe for ultimate disaster.
