for Trump/RWNJs to ridicule, as in hiding in his basement which we know isn't and hasn't been true. You just can't put Harris out there every day to counteract Donald.

Biden has to be out there counteracting Donald, too.

I'm sure Rubin didn't mean for that to happen. It's a good thought that needs some brainstorming.

This evening I had a spat with a relative who claims Biden has dementia. Aarrgghhh! That just ticks me off. I went on a rant about Donald's mental diseases.

Trump could have Pence lead the pushback! That'd be fun to watch!

and smacking down, etc. to end... to try to get back to civility. Plus, Trump's doing a good job hanging himself every time he opens his disgusting mouth. The constant attacks on Trump haven't swayed Republicans. Calling out his lies to his face and having him blow up or storm off is a better approach. If that's what she means by ripping, then have at it. Go after his attacks on Social Security -- I have a couple of elderly Republicans in my 'hood who are not happy with what he's doing. Will they vote for Biden? Who knows. But they agree with this flaming librul - hands off Social Security and Medicare!

If she does that people will start to get sick of her. Plus it takes away from Biden.

This is a ridiculous idea because the base is already satisfied. We can't allow Kamala to feed into the perceptions of her personality that Trump and the GOP are going to hammer away at anyway.

Kamala needs to do the talk show circuit, plus whatever social media stuff is popular among young generations.

Governors in all 50 states should activate their national guard units to conduct a safe and secure election.

and will claim that Biden's too weak and too fearful to step to the fore. IMO, not the best idea.

Why give them ammunition to use against us?

But he always backs off when strong women hand him his ass. He can’t take it. I wouldn’t mind watching Vice President Harris hand him his ass.

And have a rapid response every time he tries to promote his propaganda, and grab the news cycle away from him.
