DDS are now all over Trump. They are now using the same tactics they used against Leni and applying it to Harris.

They fear strong women.

He just says the wrong things at the wrong time all the time, just like our Mang Kanor.

He's using his 2016 playbook of creating chaos to be talked about in the news constantly as it's free advertising for him.

Style ba nya ay bulok na? Let's see....

Don't look now, but Kamala Harris is actually LEADING in the polls. Right-leaning Fox News is claiming a 3-point margin by Harris over Trump in recent polls. Newsweek is claiming an even larger 8-point margin.

This is a huge turnaround as Trump was leading before his assassination attempt and consequently got a sympathy bump after. It seems Trump's campaign wasn't able to pivot quickly as they clearly didn't expect Biden to cede the nomination to Harris.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh is also an outstanding choice for VP by the Democratic campaign team.

Trump’s ‘Gish Gallop’ Debate Tactic Comes from Creationists | Scientific American

A dishonest creationist debating tactic shouldn’t go unchallenged in American life. Or in national politics

June’s fateful Biden vs. Trump debate led not just to the sudden ascension of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Donald Trump’s performance also saw the return of a familiar tactic in American public discourse, the “Gish gallop”—an avalanche of nonsense presented as fact—on the debate stage. A favorite of creationists, the gallop’s trot into the political arena needs calling out as we head into the home stretch of the 2024 election.

Coined by the National Center for Science Education’s founding director Eugenie Scott in 1994, the Gish gallop takes its name from the creationist Duane Gish, who frequently challenged biologists to debates about evolution. His tactic consisted of talking fast and with confidence, bombarding opponents with falsehoods, non-sequiturs and enough cherry-picked factoids to confuse the audience. Scientists debating him faced the challenge of sifting half-truths from outright lies and finding the right evidence to refute them systematically, all within the few minutes allowed in response. Which effectively meant that when the bell went off, the Gish gallop left the scientist “stumped” and Gish declaring victory for creationism. Such a spectacle leaves the audience less informed than they were before the debate, all at the hands of a debater whose only goal is to discredit their opponent and “win” the debate.

In politics, the Gish gallop is precisely what Trump deployed in the June debate, putting Joe Biden at a significant disadvantage in attempting to refute even some of the falsehoods in the torren t of lies. Trump, as anyone even half paying attention to his speeches knows, is an expert at the Gish gallop. He projects the utmost confidence while bombastically repeating lie after lie until it overwhelms his audience into either accepting every word he says as the truth, or walking off in disgust because there is no way to get him to acknowledge any truth. At this point, everyone knows this so well that news reports scarcely cover it.

Taylor Swift, in an instagram post signed "Childless Cat Lady", has endorsed Kamala Harris.


This is akin to a local politician getting endorsed by both the INC and El Shaddai.

There goes away Trump's teenage and young adult voters.

Donald Trump was basically picked apart by a well-prepared and well-coached Kamala Harris in their recent debate.

He was baited and goaded into saying outlandish assertions like immigrants eating pets while Kamala Harris made sure her facial expressions reacted in real time for all the viewers to see.

It was so bad that the Trump campaign isn't so sure they should do a rematch.

Now does this mean the election is done? Not at all. It still isn't clear which of the swing states will be voting for even with a lopsided debate.
