Trump, Harris Neck And Neck, But Her Post-Biden
‘Honeymoon’ With Voters Might Not
Last: I&I/TIPP Poll
Posted By: RockyTCB, 8/5/2024 12:51:43 AM
Now that the Democratic Party officials have decided that Vice President Kamala Harris, and not primary-winner President Joe Biden or anyone else, will be their nominee, how will she fare against former President Donald Trump? Right now, the contest is a tossup, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The data suggest that Harris might be enjoying an initial polling “honeymoon,” typical after a new face enters a race and voters haven’t had time to assess their candidacy. It was just two weeks ago that the Democratic National Committee elbowed Biden (who was badly flagging in the polls) out of the race

There’s a reason nobody expected far-left Kamala Harris to pick a far-left governor from a deep blue state as her running mate. It’s never worked.
In the wake of Jimmy Carter’s crushing defeat in 1980 and repeated Democratic losses thereafter, the party decided that to win presidential elections they had to at least appear as moderates.
Bill Clinton won by labeling himself a “new Democrat” and picked Al Gore, then a fellow moderate Southerner. Gore in turn tapped Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Barack Obama tried to position himself to the right of John McCain and ran with Scranton Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton picked
If you didn’t know any better, you might think that Kamala Harris was running against some guy named “Project 2025.” She brings it up in every speech. Her campaign has said that “Project 2025” is on the ballot.
But it’s not the lies she and the media are spreading about Project 2025. It’s the fact that Harris doesn’t have one herself that should trouble voters most.

Trump and his campaign have repeatedly made it clear that this isn’t his agenda. And, indeed, he has detailed plans posted on his campaign website – not to mention a track record of success as president.
But Harris? She has no policy agenda whatsoever. None.

Back in February, we noticed a spate of articles claiming that there was no way that Joe Biden would not be the Democrats’ nominee.
“In the span of two days,” we wrote, “articles started appearing making the exact same argument: That Joe Biden will definitely, no questions asked, be the nominee come November.” (See: “Are Dems Actually ‘Stuck With Biden’? Or Are They Playing A Long Con?” February 14, 2024.)
We noticed that these articles — all written by supposed political pros — made the same argument:
It’s too late for Biden to step aside.
Party elites are all behind Biden.

Kamala’s Marxist Roots

When The Economist tried last week to excuse Kamala Harris’ frequent discharges of incoherent nonsense, it opened a door that Harris and her team probably wish would stay hidden from the wider public.
But there it is.
“Republicans who have mocked Ms. Harris for word-salad speeches will find precedent in her father’s writing,” The Economist said last week, because his is “sprinkled with obscurantist theorizing.”
And who is Harris’ father?
Credit where due, the New York Times published a report on Monday noting that Kamala Harris has a lot of far-left baggage that she will be struggling with now that the Democratic Party has anointed her as its presidential candidate.
Indeed, she does. And there are reams of videos showcasing her extremist views across the board, fracking, defunding police, abortion, amnesty for illegals, socializing medicine.
But then the Times manages to sabotage its own reporting with this line: “video clips of her old statements and interviews are being weaponized as Republicans aim to define her as a left-wing radical
At her rallies, Vice President Kamala Harris has been portraying the November election as a “fight for freedom.” That’s rich coming from someone who spent her entire career attacking freedom – like those enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
In Milwaukee last week, Harris started the crowd chanting “We’re not going back!” After going back and forth with the audience, Harris then says:
“And I’ll tell you why we’re not going back, because ours is a fight for the future. And it is a fight for freedom.”
What are the freedoms she’s talking about? She can only conjure up three.
About That Kamala Harris Ad

Kamala Harris’ first presidential campaign ad focuses on “freedom.” This might be the most absurd political claim in our lifetimes. The Democratic Party is not interested in liberty. It is concerned with nothing more than expanding its power.
When Harris says in her ad “We choose freedom,” what liberties is she referring to? She never says. Because she can’t. She mentions a few examples – the freedom to “get ahead” and to “be safe from gun violence” – and both are meaningless.
The first “freedoms” is part of our American DNA. What has kept people from getting ahead is a federal, state, and local government framework,
Not long after the global temperature, which doesn’t actually exist in any statistically meaningful way, blew through the mark at which we are supposed to start burning, and days after a new paper showed that the global warming narrative is exactly backward, the Biden administration awarded $4.3 billion in climate grants. It’s the work of an incompetent.
As well as that of an ideologue, which is equally as dangerous, since ideologues tend to refuse to listen to reason.
In 2020, when Joe Biden was running for office, he was thoroughly sullied when Barack Obama,
That didn’t take long, did it? Already our friends in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party’s ever-ready spin-doctors are telling American voters that presumed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is not the extremist she’s portrayed to be by the wicked right-wingers. And they’re right. She’s worse.
There’s nary a policy area that Harris has come into contact with, either while in the White House, as a member of the Senate, or in California state government in which she hasn’t taken a position on the far-extreme of the spectrum — whether it’s immigration, medical care and insurance, foreign policy, abortion, whatever.

In the wake of President Joe Biden’s not-so-surprising decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, two big questions still loom: Did the big media intentionally underplay his growing mental and physical issues? And should Biden be allowed to finish out his term? A majority of voters answer with a resounding “yes” to the first, and half say “yes” to the second, according to July’s I&I/TIPP Poll.
The national online I&I/TIPP Poll queried 1,389 registered voters from June 26-28, a period that included Biden’s disastrous debate performance, but just before a chorus of both the media and establishment Democrats began to call for him to resign.

Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota's progressive governor Tim Walz as her running mate after weeks of speculation, according to CNN.
The 60-year-old father-of-two, who has been married to his teacher wife Gwen since 1994, joins the ticket in a victory for the progressive left of the party who were concerned about some of the other contenders' support of Israel.
In Minnesota he has codified the right to abortion, signed universal free school meals, legalized recreational marijuana and gave voting rights to former prisoners.
Vice President Kamala Harris selecting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday caused NBC's cast of characters to gush with praise. Throughout the coverage, Walz would be called a “moderate” who can win over Republicans and a "progressive" who can appease Muslim and Arab voters upset with President Joe Biden on Israel while also being lauded for looking “like a lot of dads,” while the Harris-Walz ticket was described as a “beautiful mosaic.”
White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez’s biography of Walz recalled, “After moving to Minnesota, he volunteered for John Kerry’s presidential campaign, and in an upset, he was elected to Congress in 2006.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris.
This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race.
Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday.
Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.
As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes.
Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.
The New Yorker set out to write a total, ruinous take-down of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday to force the nephew of Camelot to bow down to commie Kamalot. RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years.
RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker."
Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.
Is Harris/Walz a Throwaway Ticket?

This has already been a weird election cycle, and no, I'm not talking about anything JD Vance said about cat ladies. It's the Democrats that are behaving strangely, even for them - and given that they have been maintaining a Weekend at Bernie's presidency for almost four years, keeping befuddled old Joe Biden in place, insisting he was "sharp as a tack" and "on his game" until they couldn't hide the fact any longer that His Dessicatedness has lost it. So now they have anointed Joe's life insurance policy, Kamala Harris, Queen of the Word Salad. And as RedState informed you, she has picked
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate to the delight of anti-semites and socialists across the country.
Walz is a radical leftist who presided over the George Floyd riots in 2020 and ignored cries from across the state. Instead, he stated that “a society that does not put equity and inclusion first will come to this result.” (X Video) He even mocked Minnesota national guardsmen as a bunch of ’19-year-old cooks” when asked why he rejected Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s request to send them to the city.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) referred to a crude sex joke based on a fake meme to make fun of rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said, to cheers. Then he added: “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
The crowd roared with laughter.
“You see what I did there?” he said, clearly aware of the joke. The joke refers to a meme that claims Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake citation from his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.
A federal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in Brooklyn has charged Asif Merchant, also known as “Asif Raza Merchant,” a 46-year-old Pakistani national, with murder-for-hire in connection with a foiled assassination plot targeting a politician or U.S. government officials on American soil.
The plot was thwarted by law enforcement before any attack could be executed. Merchant is currently in federal custody in New York, according to the press release.
FBI investigators believe that the intended targets of the plot included Trump and other current and former U.S. government officials, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter, per CNN.
A whistleblower is claiming that the lead Secret Service agent in charge of Donald Trump's deadly Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was 'inexperienced' and 'failed to implement appropriate security protocols.' (snip) 'The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,' Hawley told Fox News' Jesse Watters Monday evening.
'I'm also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.'
The Missouri senator noted a slew of concerning abnormalities with the tragic rally from flags that obstructed agents' views to authorities forgoing ID checks.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, recently announced as Kamala Harris’ running mate for the 2024 election, has been accused of stolen valor by retired leaders of the Minnesota National Guard.
Retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr published a scathing letter in the West Central Tribune, exposing what they claim are significant fabrications and omissions in Walz’s military record.
Walz, who served in the US House of Representatives for 12 years before being elected governor in 2018, has long touted his military service as a key component of his public image.
The retired leaders assert it is their duty to expose what they describe as a pattern of deception
President Biden’s “border czar,” Veep Kamala Harris, has chosen a fellow soft-on-illegal-immigration politician as her running mate.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, 60, who was named Harris’ vice-presidential pick Tuesday, has supported efforts to turn his home state into a sanctuary state while also backing other stances that cater to undocumented migrants. “My position on Minnesota becoming a sanctuary state boils down to who has the responsibility for enforcing immigration laws,” Walz told CBS News in 2018.
“Here’s what I believe: Congress has given federal agencies the authority to enforce immigration laws in Minnesota, and I support their doing so,” he said. “Congress has not given local law enforcement that same authority.
