  • Observing from outside USA: Who said you can't be sharp, strategic, tough and yet compassionate and joyful? I ❤ and followed her from her senatorial days. Boss back then and boss now. 🎖As any smart strategist (and similar to Biden), she used the underestimation to her advantage. Btw as VP obvi her role is DIFFERENT. She had to step back a bit but was able to grow and gain experience. What's so hard to understand about that?
  • MAGA has nothing , but millions of dollars invested in FJB bumper stickers. 🤣
  • Over on Trowth Sensal Trump looks so weak and foolish. Like a crazy person.
  • Great choice! Great rally last night! Great speech by Tim Walz! Great momentum! So tired and bored by the bullying and name calling by the opposite side! Looking forward to Harris-Walz victory!!
  • @envyofmen
    Sources also say that Shapiro came off as the captain of the boat and calling the shots. Not a VP material. Mark Kelly gave the impression 'you need me more than I need you' which would look like an admission of weakness at the border And then, there was Walz who was honest to say 'I never used a teleprompter in my speeches. You gotta teach me how to use one of those.' That was the winning answer.

    Women near the top of the food chain in this country must ALWAYS keep a resume in their back pocket because you constantly have to remind MANagers how you got your position, which is contrary to how they THINK you got your position.
  • @wandaway1961
    Dems have a deep bench. That's good because Americans are going to need it. Republican party must be put in time out for several cycles so it can, hopefully, reflect and straighten out. As for Kamala, I was a delegate at CA Dem conventions and she commands the room! We love her!

    As a man at 75 years old, I believe I can now go to my grave knowing that tRump will never be President again! Truly Making America Great Again! Great for my kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!! Harris/Walz 2024. 💙💙💙
  • @sophieclerc1914
    Raising money, raising money.... do Americans not need this money for their kitchen table as they always say? What a curious habit.
  • @de6212
    Trump trolls think this election will be won by talking about tampons
  • @sherihunt7453
    50 state tour please! We all deserve feeling the joy!
  • Let's truly make America great again with smiling faces and love in our heart instead of hatred and deceptions. Harris and Walz will make it so.
  • @pinkrosessheila
    I've learned from personal experience that your gut is rarely wrong. I trust my gut now more than ever. It's a superpower, not a weakness.
  • @cynthiag6243
