She is facing a complete wipe out

Barack Obama has yet to formally endorse Harris. I think she can win.
Biden's health was a distraction from the lies Trump told during the debate.
Kamala Harris launched her campaign for president on Sunday after Biden stepped aside, and it has reportedly led to the biggest fundraising day for Democrats all year.
Can convicts vote?
Trump's debate lies.
America not ready for a woman yet, and especially a black woman.

President Joe Biden stepped aside and endorsed her, setting up a push that could make her the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a major political party.

Beware the People Who Claim âAmerica Isnât Ready for a Black Woman Presidentâ
Even as Kamala Harris consolidates the entire Democratic Party behind her campaign, there will be people telling her she canât win because sheâs a woman of color.
Vice President Kamala Harris stands in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 20, 2024.
(Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images)The Democratic Party is about to run a Black, South Asian woman against a white supremacist former president. Itâs about to run a person whose parents were immigrants against a xenophobe who supports mass deportations. Itâs about to run a woman who prosecuted sexual predators against a sexual predator who has been judged to be a rapist. And itâs about to run a fierce defender of reproductive rights against a person who proudly claims responsibility for overturning Roe v. Wade.
Add it all up, and what you get is that the Democrats are about to run the walking embodiment of what America is against the avenging specter of what America was.
The contrast between Vice President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump could not be more clear, and that contrast should benefit Harris in every conceivable way. Harris is a person who wouldnât be allowed to finish her sentences in Trumpâs America, much less hold political and legal power. The distinction is now between a youthful, vibrant, and tolerant vision of the country, versus an aging, aggrieved, and absolutist version of America.
Democrats should be thrilled with the opportunity to run Donald Trumpâs worst nightmare against Donald Trump. And the base is. ActBlue, the small-dollar donations aggregator, smashed fundraising records on the first day of Harrisâs presidential campaign. Elder party poohbas and young rising Democratic stars all quickly endorsed Harris for president. âWin With Black Women,â a network of Black women grassroots organizers, had a call last night that broke Zoom, and ended up with over 40,000 participants who raised over a million dollars for Harris.
The contrast Harris provides to Trump is her greatest electoral asset, a thing that is energizing the very people Trump would harm the mostâbut we, as a nation, are about to endure weeks and months of people telling us that it is her greatest weakness. The question âIs America ready for a Black, female president?â will be posed again and again by people who will claim that they already know the answer is âno.â Even as Harris consolidates the entire Democratic Party around her and her campaign, there will be people telling her she canât win because America wonât elect a woman of color.
And those naysayers will always be given a platform in The New York Times and other media outlets claiming theyâre simply reporting the facts. The Times wonât cover Harris fairly even for a day, just to see what it would feel like, and theyâve already started down the road of making her seem unelectable because of her race and gender. For the first of what will be many hit pieces over the next few months, they used other Black people to make their point. A tortured Monday headline blared: âSome Black Voters Say They Wonder if a Black Woman Can Win.â
Before I dive into the article, I want you to step back and just marvel at the sheer meaninglessness of that headline. I, for instance, am a Black voter, and I wonder about a great many things. I wonder if aliens exist; I wonder if God is an *******; I wonder how many abortions Donald Trump has paid for. But the Times wouldnât run a story that stated âSome Black Voters Say They Wonder How Many Active Klu Klux Klan Members Attended the Republican National Conventionââeven though I promise you that more Black voters wonder about that than Harrisâs electability. What the Times is doing here isnât journalism but confirmation bias: They wanted to run that kind of story and went out and found some people to say what they wanted them to say.
And what those allegedly contemplative Black voters said was an all-too-standard refrain.
âItâs kind of sad, but I donât think Harris will do well nationwide,â said Kristy Smith, 42, who is from Atlanta and works in sales.
As a Black woman herself, Smith said she thinks Ms. Harris is entering the race with two strikes against her. âAmerica is just not ready for a woman president especially not a Black woman president,â she said.
In fairness to Smith, she is merely repeating what this country has told Black people, and especially Black women, her whole life: America hates you. Every Black or brown person, and every woman, has direct evidence from their lived experience of just how deeply America hates them. Itâs palpable. We see the disdain this country holds for people of color whenever we turn on the news. We feel the antipathy this country holds for women every time we go to work, or read an opinion from the Supreme Court. Harris has been subjected to the worst press coverage of any vice president in my lifetime, and sheâs about to be subjected to the worst coverage of any presidential candidate in American historyâĶ save perhaps Hillary Clinton, who was the last woman who made it within striking distance of the presidency.
This is part of the very serious work of white male supremacy. Itâs not enough for white men to be in control of all the levers of power; theyâand those who do their biddingâalso have to make everybody else feel like they donât deserve power and wonât be able to have any even if they try. The white guys who are determined to keep running this joint need the rest of us to believe that asking for equal opportunity and a fair shake is asking for too much, and that demanding equality now is perpetually too soon. Maybe someday a person like Kamala Harris could be president, but not today, never today; America is just not ready for all that right now.
Trump's 'escalation' of lies torn down by brutal fact-check from ex-Treasury official
Story by Matthew Chapman
Former President Donald Trump gave one of the largest presidential nomination acceptance speeches in history at the Republican National Convention last week. It was also loaded with lies, wrote Steven Rattner, a former adviser to the Treasury secretary in the Obama administration, for The New York Times.
This comes after The Times analyzed the reaction of undecided voters to the speech, many of whom found it bizarre and unsettling.
Trump, wrote Rattner, "used the opportunity, as well as his June debate with President Biden, to repeat favorite false claims and exaggerations. That Mr. Trump has a proclivity for saying untrue things is well known. But in his latest campaign for the White House, Iâve been struck by what appears to be an escalation in both the frequency of Mr. Trumpâs lies and the outrageousness of his distortions."
Among the most egregious lies that Rattner highlighted are: Biden only created "bounce-back" jobs from the COVID-19 pandemic (his job creation has consistently exceeded Trump's even excluding COVID-19 recovery); that the cost of food has "doubled or tripled" (it's up 21 percent); that Trump passed the "largest tax cut in history" (Presidents Reagan, Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Obama, and Harding all passed larger ones); that Trump had America on track to be "paying down debt" (he increased the federal deficit); that his tariff plan will not raise prices (it will); that the U.S. has spent $100 million more on Ukraine defense than all of Europe combined (it's the opposite); that Americans are being "squeezed out of the labor force" by immigrants (there's a shortage of American workers); and that crime is going up (it's gone down every year Biden's been in office).
Perhaps one of the silliest claims, Rattner said, is Trump's insistence Biden is "the worst president ... in the history of our country." While this is to some extent a matter of opinion, he noted, "A recent survey of more than 150 current and former members of the presidents and executive politics section of the American Political Science Association put Mr. Trump dead last, behind James Buchanan (tarred with allowing the Civil War to begin) and Andrew Johnson (impeached, like Mr. Trump, and nearly convicted). Mr. Biden was ranked 14th greatest, just above Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan."
All of these falsehoods just scratch the surface. Other fact-checkers have also torn Trump's speech to shreds, among other things for claiming with no evidence that Central American countries are sending insane asylum patients to the U.S., that Biden plans to quadruple the tax rate, and that the 2020 election was rigged.

Well they're sure not ready for another term by a lying, sleaze bag, that's for sure. I hope she gets in by a landslide.

I like Conway, he socks it to trump, I saw a bit of the ad and think it packs a punch.
Let's watch trump say he won't run against Kamala, she is no challenge, she could be beaten by anyone and now that Biden is out he will step down. Now imagine the GOP infighting, that party would be in shambles.
I expect her to trounce him in a debate especially if it is run as the last, shut down the mic when the time is met.
Give us your thoughts Rama.

The woman is ready for America. She is a woman of color, not a black woman. Obama endorsed her. Obama is a colored person.

She collected over $125 million as of yesterday.

Vance has the lowest favorability rating of any VP pick immediately after the party convention since the 1980s, with a net negative favorability of -6 points, according to CNN. In recent years, the average for a VP nominee has been +18 points at this stage.
That's a disaster for Trump and the Republicans.
Now, that is great news. The GOP is akin to a sore beginning to ooze, pushing the toxins out. Just peachy.

Nonsense. I don't know you but your response speaks volumes of your own constant feelings of inadequacy or insecurity in your daily life due to a belief that you are physically or mentally inferior to others.
Overview: Why immigrate from Pakistan to Canada?
Canada is a destination of choice for Pakistani nationals because of the economic opportunities it offers. Despite its relatively small population, Canada boasts a vibrant South Asian diaspora who make significant economic contributions as skilled workers and entrepreneurs.
Canada offers many other advantages, such as being a safe and politically stable country, a highly developed healthcare system and an internationally recognized education system. Canada boasts excellent public elementary school education. At the post-secondary level, Canada also has some of the leading universities in the world as well as many excellent colleges and skilled trades institutions.
There are now over 300,000 people of Pakistani origin who live in Canada. They comprise some of the most prominent members of Canadian society including as elected members of Parliament and as Senators. This number continues to grow each year due to more Pakistanis moving to Canada to immigrate, work, and study. The vast majority of Canada's permanent residents go on to become citizens, and get to enjoy the benefits of one of the world's strongest passports that provides visa free access to over 180 countries.
Most Pakistanis move to Canada as economic class immigrants. Looking ahead, there will be more opportunity for Pakistanis to immigrate to Canada due to Canada's commitment to increase its immigration levels.

Go look in the mirror and deal with your feelings of inferiority and insecurity.
Define average Canadian.
I don't have to deal with my feelings about anything. I am a proud Guyanese of East Indian (North and South areas of origin), West African ( 5 West African countries)and Chinese (Hakka) origin. That is my DNA. You are a complete Jackass who is spreading false narratives about Canada. You should tell that to the East Indian Canada Real Estate tycoon ( A man who has a real estate empire just as large as O.

wow! This speaks volumes of your dissociative identity disorder which can onset at any age. Have you been treated for PTSD apart from DID?
With Kamala Harris seeing a sudden and meteoric rise in US politics, here's an examination of her view towards India and relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During his speech to the US Congress, PM Modi had notably made Kamala Harris laugh out loud with a joke pertaining to her Indian heritage. Here's a look at how the India-US relationship might be impacted if Kamala Harris were to become President. Watch the full video for more.
