One could say that Biden did something that's impossible for Trump.
Do something selfless for the good of others, above your own ego.

Hailey was very anti-Trump and much more sensible until she was not.
So this below is hardly a supprise.

Biden is so much more of a man than Trump can ever think to be, more elegant, more gracious, more moral, more selfless, more reflective, more honest, more capable, more empathetic, more courageous, more articulate, more sensible, more loving.

And he has much, much bigger hands!

gzt: The campaign has momentum and no problem raising funds.

and if the GOP keep throwing around rascist slanderous comments on her "eligibility" they vre going to have no problems continuing such days like near 1.2M donations and I think was 650k brand new donators, that is an insane statistic.

So they going to attack her eligibility (for racist, sexist reasons)

Its going to be momentum to the end.

Meanwhile James Vance has done nothing for himself if you compare their careers. The 1.5yr in a Govt role I guess counts, thats about all hes done for himself.

It was disgraceful some of the Rhetoric used by the GOP.

I think it will take a week or two for any real changes o thinking to show up in the polls. But the more Harris is out there speaking with perfect timing and giving her focussed points time to breath and be clapped, I think even those just watching Fox might switch on NBC to see what others are saying.

"Panic with a dose of Racism" title quote from an MSBC reel.

$100M in a day from ~50% first time donors with 1.2M, these are clearly mostly every day folk not the "Super" donors.

It is groups like this that will boost her chances enormously:

Kamala Harris is counting on her sorority sisters

She needs to play on her gender and speak directly to the housewife's and woman of America no matter their colour, especially those that have been ridiculed by Trump.

T he internet is enthralled with Harris. Will that get her more votes?

She needs these young and minority voters. She needs America's new voter generation and the last new voter generation. She needs an Obama campaign strategy of using social media and technology as an integral part of her campaign strategy aimed at the young and middle aged techno literate educated class as well as develop a groundswell of empowered volunteers to get out there to engage those less fortunate on the socioeconomic scale - door knocking.

She needs to be an exemplary orator and speak directly to everyone, not just the blind faithful. She needs to create new believers with honest rhetoric and believable promises. Not Trump style BS!

She needs to put herself out there as the new future of America.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Before anyone nominates him for sainthood, remember that he clung onto power for as long as he possibly could. It was only in the face of a potential palace coup and ignominious forced exit that he finally threw in the towel.

He picked JD thinking that he's going to beat Biden without need of Hispanic, black, or women support.

It was described as a confident pick to go all out white man power.

Another poll released today shows her gaining ground on Trump:

Also Republicans are struggling to find a coherent line with which to attack Harris, however the lowlifes are having no issue resorting to race - at least John McCain didn't go there with Obama:

Disclaimer: This post is a very controversial subject and I'm not here to offend. Honestly I'm a bit reluctant to bring it up.

I'm making this post only for people who may be interested in American History, and its strange racial classifications, including self-imposed racial classifications.

Kamala Harris self identifies herself as black. I have no idea if she'd care if people gave her any other label (excluding slurs)

Older people, including those of African descent and Native American heritage may not consider Kamala Harris as black, but any number of other terms (again excluding slurs).

This may be more likely in the Deep South / Bible Belt, but not out of place in northern cities like Detroit Michigan, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Baltimore Maryland.

I have met people who proudly self-identify as quadroon or octoroon, and would be upset with any other classification.

The whole topic gets particularly confusing with terms such as "Creole".

Terminology can be found at the Louisiana State University, LSU.

More can be found at the the project, entitled “Free People of Color in Louisiana: Revealing an Unknown Past” which is sponsored by many academic experts, usually of liberal, left-leaning or anti-hate ideologies.

The excellent anti-hate group, fighting the good fight, Southern Poverty Law Center, SPLC, also have information.

Again before posting a furious response here, please at least take a look at resources mentioned.
