    Kamala Harris
    This is better for those of us who dont want Trump.  Biden was unfit for another election.  I would have voted for him, in a heartbeat, over the serial raper/russian plant/fake billionaire, but he was a joke of a candidate.

    Hope it is not Harris.  Her policies are wayyy too far left for anything I would normally consider, in a non-Trump world.
    If it is her, I will vote for her and fuck my wallet & overall views.  Anything to stop the monster and his hordes.
    Wish we could time machine back to politics pre-Clinton.

    Yes, I agree with pretty much all of this. We're in the top tax bracket, and the amount of taxes we pay is breathtaking (maybe people who can live off of their lines of credit or capital gains don't pay much in taxes, but I can assure you, if your income is from a salary rather than investments, you're paying!). I am not excited to pay more taxes, but I'd much, MUCH rather pay more in taxes in exchange for knowing that I'll get to vote again in the next election cycle. I also feel pretty damn good about paying taxes every time we send more aid to Ukraine.

    There's one and only one issue in November: Do you like living in a free country?
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    She basically lead San Francisco down it's path of self destruction. Those are her people. 

    So a vote for Kamala is a vote for free reign looting, robbery, heroin needles everywhere, free hotels for junkies, shitting in the streets, and almost no punishment for criminals.  Raping little kids is also okay in california since they have their pro pedophile movement going on. Is that too far left? I think so.

    I consider myself quite left but my preferred parties never have that on their agenda. So I doubt it’s the definition of left 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Trump is the next president.  Harris is a terrible option.

    An excellent president Donald Trump will be, again!
    And the fact that Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance is only 39 years old bodes well for our country's future as well!

    For me, I don't like that she was over with Bernie in the "give everything to everyone" crowd. 
    I'm a traditional conservative who only votes left because I have an actual heart and can't just go along with the Christian and Gun crazies in order to benefit my wallet.  I'm in the top tax bracket and Harris wants all of our money.
    That being said, I am pro-people, pro humanity, pro choice, even though I think most peiple are morons, and so my choice is easy.  I will vote for whomever opposes Trump and light money on fire if they win.

    I would vote Mark Kelly in a heartbeat.  

    If they go someone ultra left wing like Newsome or Kamala (basically anyone from CA) it's an auto trump vote. 
    LOL what a ridiculous position

    At least half of the Joe Biden cult community on this forum still believes Joe is the nominee.  Let it sink in boys. 
    Anyone who was kooky enough to watch the debate and still stump for him is unfortunately too kooky to have an honest self-evaluation about how they refused to see what was so blatantly obvious to most everyone else

    As someone who’s neither Republican or Democrat, Kamala is a losing choice. Leave her at VP so they can keep the campaign funds already raised but pick someone better to lead the ticket.

    Interesting that Biden and the Clintons endorsed Harris but Obama doesn't

    Because he knows what he says will make or break any candidate. I'm glad he's not specifically endorsing anyone quite yet. Let this play out for a week or two first. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Agree with you completely but it's interesting that the Clintons don't feel that way

    There’s basically 2 arguments I keep hearing for Harris.
    One is, you can’t pass up the first black female vp and replace her with a white man. And if she’s on the ticket, you get all of Biden’s campaign funds.

    Sonny question is, if they end up replacing Biden and keeping Harris as VP, would she not keep that money?
    Her name is still attached to the ticket if she remains VP.

    Looks like you already answered my question above? Do you know that for sure is true? I haven’t heard anyone suggest it, but seems like an obvious option.

    I don't see why Harris would accept being someone else's VP. Feels like now or never for her.

    I don’t know it for a fact but what I heard was that as long as she is on the ticket they will have access to those funds. I think it was on Fox News. I flip around from one news channel to the next when there’s breaking news.
