MODERATORS
 

Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organization’s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harris’ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

“In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. “Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”

She should point out, repeatedly, that the man has no financial skills at all. Keep hammering how bad he was for workers and the economy in general but still turned a tidy profit for himself. He would actually have more wealth now if he had just invested his inheritance in the S&P (according to Forbes) instead of starting all his cockamamie businesses. The man ran how many casinos into the ground? He went bankrupt in businesses where people say "the house always wins" because the odds are literally stacked in the house's favor.

She needs to go, repeatedly like, "I mean... He bankrupted a casino... A casino" and, "Speaking of predator, this manchild lied about his associations with Epstein while also flying on his private plane at least 7 times. Would you let him watch your daughter? HELL NO."

I wouldn't even let him watch his own daughter

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh he wants to do more than just watch his daughter. Ivanka not Tiffany.

All she has to do is keep calling him weak publicly and he will fucking lose it

I don't know. He seems to have more restraint than we think he does. I expected his head to explode during the debate when his mike was cut off.
