Another place where we're oh for 2 on the top of the ticket this year. Harris has a reputation as an awful, toxic boss. I'll bet a dollar Walz's staff actually like him.

Uhhhh,

I think the question that we need to ask is why are so many people that Trump hired/appointed and publicly praised as being the "Best People" now saying these kinds of things about him? That's not just a red flag. That's a stadium sized red banner.

If you were doing a background check, and received this kind of feedback from former staff that the guy you're checking on had previously publicly praised, would you hire him?? He's at best incapable of hiring a good staff. But chances are it's an indication that he himself cannot be trusted.

I agree with all of this and think it's definitely a huge red banner. He's notoriously difficult to work with and has a history of leaving scorched earth to most of his professional relationships. He's not a good dude. I just get a chuckle at the hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty of some people. Makes me giggle

17 days since the Democratic nominee for POTUS has had a press conference or granted an interview. Even Van Jones said she needs to come out of the basement. Let's get these two jackwagons on a stage together. I don't think it's a good strategy to keep her from the cameras with independent voters already leery of the fact that the dems knowingly kept Joe Biden out of the spotlight to cover up his mental decline...errr stutter

One thing I noticed is that we have had no post-election riots, unlike the last post- election. Why do leftists commit crimes and riot when they lose an election?

For some reason I was looking back at this thread from around the last election (boring conference call), and I came across this post that aged like fine milk. LOL

Walz was described by someone as Newsom with flannel. That's not great, Bob.

Why you gotta hate on flannel?

The Democratic power structure wants to keep her away from doing anything “off the cuff” where she might go off on one of her word salad diatribes or start laughing uncontrollably. They want tightly scripted events with friendly crowds and media.

Biden won the election from his basement. They’re figuring that if it worked once, it might work again.

Walz pick is gross. Way too left.

Might be out of context, but he’s saying there’s no right to free speech if it’s misinformation or hate speech. Who’s the arbiter of what is misinformation?

Kamala's in her basement, which happens to be 5 swing state rallies in one week.

Trump out on the campaign trail to 1 state (Montana). Guess he wants to make sure it's a solid red crowd. Low energy.
(Probably like Biden, at that age just running out of steam)

So, like every politician? Both the Harris and the Trump camps are blaming each other for not having a debate scheduled because neither wants to enter the others "lion den." And frankly, with today's media, I don't really blame them.

meh. I'm no Walz fan, but this is twitter being twitter....something probably taken completely out of context, and then with a comment of something along the lines of "this guy hates the constitution!"
