2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

His cultists may like it, but other than that I can't see this approach helping him keep his nose-holders or get anybody new. Therefore, I fully support a continuation of this prattle.

Random wonderings: Why is it that if a politician takes a position that his/her constituents oppose, they're considered "tone deaf", "don't listen to/represent...etc." But if they then decide to support what their constituents want, they're considered "wishy-washy", "flip-flop", "no principles...yada."

9 possible running mates Kamala Harris could pick


Kamala will choose a White man

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper

Cooper, 67, has served as North Carolina’s governor since 2017 and is prevented from running again due to term limits....
Perfectly available, swing state, kinda old to lead the Dems into the post-Kamala future, nttawwt.


IMO - Roy Cooper, JB Pritzker or Pete Buttigieg, with Cooper having the swing state advantage. Other ideas?
Great minds . . .
'Ultimate team player:' Why some Democrats think Roy Cooper is Harris' top VP pick

He’s never lost an election. He’s known Kamala Harris for years....

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is not an astronaut or household name like some others the vice president is considering for her running mate. But many Democrats think Cooper is at or near the top of Harris’ short list because he’d be a strong partner who could potentially deliver North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes.

“He’s kind of the ultimate team player,” said state Sen. Jay Chaudhuri, the Democratic whip and a former Cooper aide. “James Carville once famously said that there are politicians who want to be something and politicians who want to do something. Roy Cooper has been someone who wants to do something for the people.”

The governor’s second term is up at the end of this year and term limits prevent him from running again, so Democrats would not risk losing anything by taking him out of state. And he’s not known to harbor presidential ambitions for himself, so he would be unlikely to try to overshadow Harris or use the job as a stepping stone.

“He does a lot of winning,” said Noam Lee, who was executive director of the Democratic Governors Association when Cooper chaired it.

“Mr. November,” as Lee said Cooper was dubbed internally, raised a “truly mind-boggling amount of money” to help the party’s gubernatorial slate outperform expectations in 2022....

In North Carolina, Cooper has consistently outperformed national Democrats, winning six statewide elections in a row — including five when Republican presidential candidates also carried the state. He won his first term as governor by ousting the Republican incumbent in 2016, even as Trump sailed to victory on the same night.

“Roy Cooper is the most popular politician in North Carolina,” said Gary Pearce, a Raleigh-based Democratic strategist. “North Carolina has always been more of a state that, if Democrats can win it, then there’s no road to the White House for Trump.”
I just posted that somewhere in the last few days.
... He won a prestigious Morehead Scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he pledged the Chi Psi fraternity and was elected president of the campus Young Democrats. He stayed at UNC for law school.

... They have three young-adult daughters, all of whom also graduated from Chapel Hill.

Former aides describe Cooper as a warm boss who treated staff like family and modeled work-life balance, which helped engender strong loyalty. They’re proud to note that two former Cooper cabinet officials were recently elevated to top jobs in Washington, including Environmental Protection Agency Director Michael S. Regan and Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Mandy Cohen....

Press secretary, communications director, any job he wants except vp, sec state, NSA or defense secretary?

I wonder if he would step away from a cabinet position for a senior staff position?

Trump splits with GOP lawmakers on national security, raising alarm

National security-minded Republican lawmakers are alarmed by what they see as a growing split between themselves and former President Trump on key issues, including the war in Ukraine, preserving the NATO alliance and protecting Taiwan from Chinese aggression.
They're only figuring this out now?
... Defense-minded GOP senators viewed Trump’s invitation to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to visit him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after the NATO summit in Washington as a worrisome development, given Orbán’s close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his efforts to undermine NATO’s support for the defense of Ukraine.
It was a surprise?
GOP senators who support U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine were dismayed when Trump selected Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who led the opposition to the Ukrainian assistance package, as his running mate....
Now it makes sense, Just Deranged is Putin's pick.

C'mon RepuQs, we've been telling you for years that TRE45QN is a wannabe authoritarian and that Tucker is an anti-American influencer. You really need to pay attention.

Not that it matters a ton, but there is little polling in battleground states on Harris vs. Trump.

Most of the polling data being cited is pre Harris and is bullshit.
