Locking It Up
It took Kamala Harris about 24 hours to lock up the Democratic nomination.
By Monday afternoon in the US, every serious challenger for Joe Biden's spot at the top of the ticket had endorsed Harris.
Gretchen Whitmer said she was "fired up" to back Harris and to serve as the vice president's campaign co-chair. Trump, Whitmer gleefully noted, is "a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe and drove our economy into the ground." (Trump would only disagree with part of that assessment.)
Not sure how trump can wage an insult war with a black woman. What could possibly go wrong? Also, Harris has shown she’s willing and able to paint an unflattering picture of her opponents. Not sure trump wants to get into with someone who is meticulous, exacting, and articulate at precisely this type of thing. But I am sure I want Harris to be ruthless on this POS and deliver, as you said, a fatal humiliation of trump.
“I took on perpetrators of all kinds. 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.”
More please. Not to be too “I hate trump therefore I am” but come on, it’s pretty gratifying. It has legs and this dude can’t be allowed to rebrand himself as a holy warrior. He’s literally a serial rapist, at least according to himself. I personally don’t think deflecting by calling her nasty will work in this moment against this woman.
I wasn’t very enthusiastic for Harris as the nominee, but after watching her speech to her campaign staff, I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time. I think she can take fight to Trump and bring undecided voters with her along the way. That’s my hope at least.
I think she’s someone Americans can depend on to wake up every day and do the absolute best job that she can possibly do, always in good faith. That’s not nothin’. I also think that by the end of a hypothetical second term, she could grow to be a very, very good president.
