This election will be decided by -100k people if it was Kamala or Coco the clown at head of the ticket!

Democrats idea of what the US should look like is plain madness but Trump needs to address abortion regulations and be supportive in his references on global warming and foreign policy!

Will be fascinating and so glad the Olympics have been on to take away the pain of wall to wall media BS.

I have long argued that Mickey Mouse would be safer in the WH than Trump, because he would need to take advice. Not believe he is the best brain ever and that whatever he says must be right.

Coco the Clown would.be OK too.

Harris will be a safe pair of hands. She will listen and not be irrational or impulsive.

The priority is avoiding Trump.

Coco the Clown is someone who thinks Trump is less safe than the Democrats who took over from him.

You only have to look at what's transpired under them.....100 billion of military equipment left in Afghanistan....it's actually made that country a military hub and given untold military information to America's enemies.

Trump's presidency had no new wars (despite the left in 2015 screaming that he'll take us to WW3) Compare that to a Democratic presidency that has left us closer to actual WW3 than anytime since the sixties. A presidency that has only escalated and failed to succeed in any of it....just spent untold amounts of money and ruined very very important diplomatic relationships.

A Democrat party that has strengthened BRICs pushing China and Russia into an indirect but very real alliance (that's an untold disaster that the media deliberately keep quiet about) Democrats who have undone all the positive work Trump had with the Saudis.....and the Saudis I might add are very important in the middle east.

It's pure wanton dishonesty and wanton blindness to claim that Trump is less safe than the Democrats.

A good rule of thumb, is that if you have any doubts over an issue, see what Wisbelch is saying about it and take the opposite view - you won't go far wrong.

Looking at it from here it seems that the idea it has been awful is much more perception than reality. Recovering from a pandemic that was badly handled by the previous administration, having to handle the world wide impact of that of supply chain problems and inflation and then being hit by the war in Ukraine, it’s demands and impacts were all challenging.

Every western country faced these problems but the US has managed them better and its economy is performing well in spite of them.

The problem is the insular nature of many there. They don’t recognise the comparisons or think problems should impact them. They just think those problems must be the fault of the President. So it’s perception not reality.

Whether Harris can communicate that effectively enough to swing sufficient numbers her way is yet to be determined. Again from here she looks like the fresh new face that will appeal to those who respond to the oldest political message. That anything is better than what we have had before. Optics matter too.

She seems to be on a strong upwards trajectory with Trump now looking like the tired old man, out of anything but the same old rhetoric and insult. He is the one with the heavy baggage of convictions, accusations, obvious character flaws and age.

Too early to call but if I were a betting man I know where my money would go. Which is also in Harris’s favour. People like to be associated with winners.

Still only 34 of the states require photo ID when voting. Each state sets its requirements hence the variation during elections!

Same with other controversial subjects such as abortion rights etc. Whilst I find that strange the picture of 5 UK’s fit inside Texas puts it into perspective l.
