I probably listened to 25 minutes of it and watched 20 minutes of it, and I resent the fact that 45 minutes plus the time walking from my car to my house wasn’t enough time to cover the whole speech. They should pass a law capping the length of these things, ain’t nobody got time for Trump to ramble for 91 minutes or whatever it was.

They better be getting Pete on national tour of dunking on Vance and Trump simultaneously like that. Really quite elegant

Maybe this guy should just be the top of the ticket?

Gramps, you’re getting stomped in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the fuck are you doing going to Texas??? And Jill is fundraising in Paris? Lol get the fuck outta here.
Kamala and Pete should run on swapping the big role / veep every term for the next 16 years.
Pew Research national poll of Latino voters:
Biden 36
Trump 36
Kennedy 24
They went 61-36 for Biden in 2020.
This shocks me.

Gotta leave a pathway for Hillary to run in her 90s imo
For what it’s worth, I’m suddenly today being bombarded by text messages from (I’m assuming) PACs and Democratic organizations gauging my interest in voting for Kamala.
Is it happening? 
Feel like things are too calm this AM not sure what that means. Also have any of Biden’s statements been him actually talking since Covid or just written? Wonder how his voice is
Anything to keep Kamala from being the first female POTUS
It shocks you that one of the worst politicians of all time has really bad political instincts?

After the debate, the Trump team decided to hold back advertising that could further damage Mr. Biden, according to one person briefed on the Trump campaign’s internal discussions, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. A change at the top of the ticket could throw a remarkably stable race into chaos — particularly if Ms. Harris, who would be the first Black woman elected president, were to become the nominee.
While Democrats are stumbling toward resolution, the Trump campaign has marveled at its position heading into the general election. Mr. Biden’s team has spent tens of millions of dollars in advertising this year, but the president has not gained ground in the race against Mr. Trump. The Trump campaign and its allied outside groups, however, have spent far less and are said to have significant cash reserves for the months ahead.
This is a big issue. Biden is firing away on ads, Trump is sitting tight, and Trump is still cruising. Biden’s team wants us to believe that he can’t close the gap now, dominating the airwaves, but he’ll be able to when Trump is matching that ad spend? Yeah, right.

Bill has good instincts, and I’d expect HRC to be backing an open convention with designs on running.
Yeah the structure of his ear always looked completely intact on the photo after shooting so seemed clear wasn’t blown half off or something. And of course the extent of the ear damage is irrelevant as the big story is almost getting killed but of course they going to play it up anyway
They should pay someone to slice a noticeable divot if there isn’t one already. It’s gold.
You’re talking about the party who oppose vaxines because they’re scared of needles.

Gift link: Democrats have a record they’re proud of. Biden struggles to sell it. (WaPo)
The gaffe represented just one example of a pattern that is fueling the effort to push Biden aside as the Democratic Party’s nominee. Congressional Democrats and the administration believe Biden has major accomplishments to tout and ambitious policy ideas for the next four years. And yet Biden’s intensifying struggles in recent weeks to describe those policies — on abortion, housing, child benefits and more — have cast doubt over his effectiveness as the party’s leading messenger, even beyond the Democratic angst about the debate.
The guy just cannot do the basic job of campaigning and convincing voters he presents a better alternative than Trump’s authoritarianism. Bring in Kamala please.
