    I’m not complaining but I’m genuinely wondering if the dnc has been holding this woman back. I feel like I haven’t seen this fire coming from her before and I’m loving it.

      I’m starting to think this was a pre-planned bait and switch. Let MAGA and the Russian trolls waste thier energy and money going after Biden, painting him as old and senile. Then Kamala comes in and goes all scorched-earth on Trump.

      Whether it was planned or not is not all that important though, the result is a thing of beauty.

        It may be comforting to think that, but I reckon it genuinely took them by surprise just how unable he was to perform under pressure. He may be able to hold a normal conversation in a small room with a couple of people, but get the lights on him, him own voice being amplified around and a live broadcast, and the man just wasn’t able to compete. He looked weak and old.

        While Trump lives for that. He’s a fucking gameshow host. His ideal dinner date would be himself, but louder. What he actually says is incoherent nonsense, but he’s loud and aggressive and the MAGA hats lap that shit up.

        Don’t think that was pre planned. But I think waiting for Trump to officially accept the nomination as republican candidate was a deliberate move. The timing was almost too on the nose, and it seems some people already knew Biden was going to drop out before that.

        Maybe this shit was all stewing in Kamalas head for years and she’s just unloading off her chest lmao. But in truth I hope thus is the result of a competent team, cause I want this to keep coming. Fucking tired of being nice to Trump supporters after they acted like absolute pieces of shit for years.

          I agree, that’s absolutely plausible. I don’t pretend to know enough to talk about likelyhoods and probability.

          All that really matters is that the switch happened.
