Well, I'll be. I was going to assume that this was a Republican whack job but I did a little research on Facebook and I'm 90% sure I found him. If I'm right, he's a Harris/Walz supporter. I hate the rare occasion when the crazies are on the blue side.

(Not posting any details because I don't want to risk doxxing an innocent person if I'm wrong)

Edit: Yeah, this inquirer.com article has details from the subject's LinkedIn profile that match the Facebook profile that I found. Bummer. I was still hoping it was just another conservative loon. Well, it's possible that the inquirer.com article and I both have the wrong guy.

CNN tried to track down where Trump's "Swiss-made" watches were made. The address they found for the company is a store front in Wyoming. That business address is shared with dozens of anonymous companies including one called the Royal Honey Shop where you can buy Hard Steel Honey. You guessed it, it has the active ingredient from viagra in it. It's dick-honey.

It gets better too. CNN got a hold of a spokesman for the honey shop to see if they were affiliated with Trump in any way. The spokesman, Vladimir Dmitriev, I shit you not, told them that their American leadership had instructed them not to talk to any news agencies until after election day.

I agree, republicans would fight tooth and nail for Vance to be their candidate, but the democrats would also fight tooth and nail to void those votes as having not been for Vance. It would be one hell of a knock down drag out in the courts... oh, shit. /gulp/ ...until SCOTUS stepped in. Crap.

Agreed, but you need to prove intent to do that and the republicans always try to play this as improving the voting system rather than gaming it.

I'm not sure that Vance would be the presidential candidate if Trump dies in the next couple weeks. All the states have printed their ballots already, haven't they? Trump is the candidate for president, not Vance. A vote for Trump after he is dead would not legally be a vote for Vance. I think Vance only gets the White House if Trump lives long enough to win or Vance wins as a write-in candidate after Trump dies.

There are plenty of people in the area between the two extremes who support progressive policies, while not considering themselves progressives, but are not sufficiently motivated to bother voting because neither candidate is explicitly supporting those policies. Those are the votes that are available. Those are the people she should be convincing, not low hanging republican fruit.

...for a cool half a mill

Oh, you sweet summer child. They are so very much cheaper than that. Most of the pols in DC can be bought for tens of thousands or even just thousands of dollars. No need to get into six figures.

I would very much like to argue with you, but I have nothing to support such an argument. :(

According to Bruce, Van Orden went into a “stream of consciousness, run-on sentence monologue” about the CBO, Bruce said, calling the group “Democratic liars” and the report “bullshit.” He said Van Orden looked agitated and was slapping his desk, saying, “That kind of agitation just built into what really felt like being subjected to a tirade rather than having a conversation.”

Bruce said that Van Orden and his staff were dismissive of him because they believed he was a Democrat, saying he wore “the other jersey” and would never vote for Van Orden anyway.

Typical of the modern republican politician.

They don't honestly need that butter. They need to wake up and realize that there are enough small dollar donors out there to make up for any big dollar donors they lose. Look at how much Bernie Sanders raked in from small donors by courting progressives.

“If you're exhausted on the campaign trail, it raises real questions about whether you are fit for the toughest job in the world,” she said.

This is true, except, that if Trump is reelected he'll simply spend all his time playing nice relaxing games of golf and skimming money from the treasury and everyone who wants a political favor. Just like he did last time.

This is stupid. How about you make a play for disenchanted progressives who actually could be convinced to vote for you? Republicans are not going to vote for Harris in any great numbers. The evidence is in the fact that every republican who has come out to support Harris is retired from politic life either by choice or by having been voted out by the rabid faction that makes up the vast bulk of the republican base. Republican voters make up about 30% of eligible voters and democrats make up another ~30%. How about you go after the 40% that sit between the two groups by making it worth their while to get off the couch and go vote?
