Trump is a felon, convict, charlatan, crook, overall cheat (at business taxes, golf and life), sex offender and adulterer. I think those things speaks more to the content of one's character than any hereditary racial and ethnic trait or characteristics, that are out of one's control.
Who are you, to question how someone wishes to identify?
Elvis 2008, by the same token and illogic, I'm surprised your not asking, if JD Vance, isn't ashamed of being white, since he did not marry a women, who is 100% white? (If even being 100% is a real thing?)
The press have vilified her and thinks he didn't exactly defend his wife very well when asked about all the attacks with regards to his non-white wife. And please explain why are white supremacists so upset and outraged and attacking, Usha Chilukuri Vance for not being white? And why does her son have a name like Vivek?

Your post is yet just another stupid nonsensical rant, in a long line culture war rants, wanting to stir up shit where there is none!
Just like you idiot Repubs/QAnon/MAGA numbskulls do, with cartoon and fictional characters, like purple Dinosaurs and purple Teletube Babies. Just Pathetic!
(...kkkk!) You must be joking, right? We still don't know what Trump stands for (after over 1-year of campaigning) other than tax-cuts for the rich and "drill baby drill", both of which do very little to help hard working Americans, navigate the competitive future labor, manufacturing and business markets ahead.

But all that flawed content of character means nothing to you, perhaps because you can self-relate to his ilk and his emotional and empathetic bankruptcy?

Posts: 7457You are right about one thing, sort of
The fact that Harris is a Democrat and has been #2 in a Democratic Presidential Administration whose positive accomplishments for America and the spread of democracy around the world far outperformed most other Dem Administrations and ALL Repub Administrations is all I would have needed to know about Harris to fully endorse and vote for her. Although it is unavoidable that I do know more about her than that. And none of what I know, see and hear overrides that former overwhelming argument for any sane, patriotic American like me to support and vote for her.

Oh, here is the latest on the Presidential Betting Odds Consensus as posted on the demonstrably Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics site and as it currently appears on the Predictlt Betting Site, one of the more popular and followed sites, since you are very much into the idea that bets on the outcome in some way changes or influences the outcome:

Posts: 2386Stopping by just for this post
I've wasted too much time in this thread so have sworn it off, but am stopping by to reply to Paulie's off-topic comments elsewhere.
Dear Paulie,

And while not as bad as most high profile Democrats, he's a spendthrift. Most importantly, he tried to steal an election. If I'm allowed to vote, it won't be for Trump. Or Kamala, she's worse than Trump. My vote will go to Chase Oliver. He's "armed and gay. " While Chase's gayness may not comport with your and my idea of a manly man, he'd keep the USA out of conflicts where it doesn't belong. He wouldn't cater to the military industrial alliance.
Speaking of which, I shall pray that you someday see the light, like your favorite president, Dwight D. Eisenhower did. Eisenhower did more to cater to the military establishment and arms industry than any president in post World War II America. But in the end he came around. I hope some day you do too.
"Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime.
....This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence economic, political, even spiritual is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government.
....In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
....We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
--- Dwight David Eisenhower
The worldwide military industrial complex is gaining power and money from the Ukraine conflict -- another good reason to pursue an end to this madness.
Kind regards,
Tiny

Posts: 7457I agree
I too am not a big believer in polls "predicting" a presidential election outcome. Especially months before the election. But I saw others here celebrating and counting the days to the next Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession, Massive Repub Jobs Destruction and whatever new Great Repub Once in 100 Years Disaster that will surely accompany the next Repub presidency based on the recent (not current) polls.

It turns out polls are not predictive of a Presidential election win. Neither are debate performances, age, money spent on the campaign, the VP candidate choice, lawn signs, rally crowd sizes and a whole host of other factors most professional and amateur pundits think predict the winner when history has been fairly clear they don't.

Posts: 1745LULAC says Latinos for Harris...
Here is yet another good reason to highlight the surge in the uptick of voters for Harris in Arizona and Nevada, identified in your polling data.

Conservative Latino Group Makes First Presidential Endorsement in 100 years
https://www.newsweek.com/latino-grou...ection-1937246
So with the:
--Black Women for Harris, Black Men for Harris, White Women for Harris, White Dudes for Harris, Republicans for Harris
AND NOW:
--Latinos for Harris
Are all great signs, that the Harris/Walz campaign, is making all kinds of new records, inroads and connecting with Americans of all stripes, that are keen voters, volunteers and donors, that are getting behind the Harris/Walz campaign, for the big push to win in ROEvember. Especially with a strong WOMEN's vote and now thanks to LULAC, a strong Latino vote.
PS: Xpartan, I think this may be the type of "Conservative/Repub" centrist (or center-right) swing voter/movement, you were hoping for, but wasn't sure Harris would ever get?

Posts: 4638Oh, because the recent polls are not in our favor? Yeah, Trump is at -118. You bet $100 and you get $118 for Trump. Harris at -110. You bet $110 and you win $100. So the odds are in your favor for now, and they will be until Trump attacks Harris for who she is. What you do not get is her support is an inch deep, and Trump has historically done better than the polls indicate.

According to her birth certificate, she is 25% black, and the only reason she claims to be black is she wants your vote. For God's sake, her relatives owned slaves. I have not seen that point be made.
And for white people, ask her why she is so ashamed of being 75% white. Is it the slave owning thing? Is race a choice now too? That is the thing with Democrats. Trump should say they call people like me racist and sexist while they claim that sex is a choice and Kamala chooses whatever race she thinks benefits her in the polls. You did not grow up in the hood. Heck, you did not even have the typical American educational experience. Most of your childhood you grew up in Canada.
Kamala did not have to campaign and right now she is not campaigning. All she is doing is going around telling people what they want to hear. That is fine. Let her. Wait for a few months and then ask the question, what does she stand for and whom does she represent? She did not win your vote to be the Democratic candidate right? She won the votes of the elite, and that is who she represents not you. She will do whatever George Clooney wants but not you.
Trump has Truth Social which is worth billions and hotels ETC. He does not need to be president to make money. Kamala does. Trump can draw people even if he is not president. Can she? Kamala owes people an unprecedented amount of favors, and the biggest racket for money making is war. The woman wants power not to do good but for herself. She wants power for fame and money. She will not use it for you the people. You are only there to give her your money to her and your attention for her fame. Ask the question, why does she want to be president?
The woman has no soul. If she were from Texas, she would be a mixed female Republican. She is not RFK Jr. A lifelong Democrat who has fought corporate America for the little guy and has truly dedicated his life to the health of Americans. What has Kamala Harris ever done? Kiss ass. She kissed Willie Brown's ass. She kissed Biden's ass and now she is kissing the ass of the American people.
Admit it Tooms. You do not know her. If she did not have Democrat after her name, you would have nothing to do with her.
I will give you this Tooms. If Trump does not show America who she really is, there is a good chance she wins and for now, he is not doing it. He has not even given her a nickname. My preference would be chameleon Kamala.

Posts: 1745Just another Katie Britt's SOTU response meme?
Please get back to me, when this tired, 9-year old and 2015 "alleged scandal", blatant hearsay, innuendo and unverified information, in your article becomes factual news and not just another hack and hatchet-job, to throw against the wall and see what sticks, against the Harris/Walz campaign.

By all accounts, it sounds a bit like a Senator Katie Britt's SOTU response meme? I mean, sure Biden (in this case Harris) was in office at the time, but WTF?
BTW, I know how you just love to throw around this recycled winger slogan from 2015 and use the term interchangeably with "killing", like a winger with an AR-15 magazines on a shooting spree, but when does your so called "baby butchering" start and end? At child trafficking? Pizzagate?

Posts: 192Flexibility
I wasn't shitting on Marquise. Sorry if I come across that way.
I believe that when it comes to the subject of Abortion, War or Death Penalty, the Republican has always been, shall we say, flexible on their choices. And that's okay, you can choose Death Penalty and not Abortion, or war instead of Abortion. But they allow zero flexibility for others to choose War not Abortion, or Death Penalty not Abortion, or any other combination.
Debates can be had with the second amendment, but don't call yourself Pro Life if you are willing to take a life to defend yourself, while opposing abortion. Because I'll defend you on protecting yourself to my last breathe, but unlikely that you'll defend someone who makes similar choice in their life to protect themselves.

Glad you have strong conviction on this issue. You can choose to not abort in your family.

Posts: 7457Arizona and Nevada
Ah. While we wait a few minutes longer for the demonstrably Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics polling site to shift Pennsylvania from Trump to Harris in their No Toss-Up States Electoral College Map as they did recently with Wisconsin and Michigan, the poll lovers here might be interested to know that the 538 site is now showing Harris with a small but trending lead in Arizona along with her lead Nationally, in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia (among their Battleground States list) and half of a percentage point from a lead in Georgia.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/
And Nate Silver's Silver Bulletin now has Harris taking a new lead in Arizona and Nevada along with her lead Nationally, in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia, with only a 1 percentage point distance from a lead in Georgia:
https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-si...on-polls-model
So the post-Republican National Convention Clown Show Festival of Blithering Lies campaign donations, campaign rally crowds and polling numbers Flight to Dems and the Dem Presidential Candidate continues at a steady pace.
And this is before Harris' likely Democratic National Convention boost, her likely Trump 34 Felony Conviction Sentencing boost and her likely 2nd blathering, non answer, lie-filled Trump debate boost.
Again, this would only be of interest to those who are into and enjoy citing the polls. You know, like a few posters here used to be but don't seem to be so much anymore.
