‘Why Do You Guys Do That?’

on

Cat ladies, phony crime rates, choking like a dog, and a third world war.

These meandering, unrelated comments dominated the Saturday night live rally of former President Trump and VP nominee Vance in Atlanta.

Clearly two insecure white guys when confronted with an articulate woman – especially a black one – who has been elected at the county, state and federal levels to increasingly important jobs of significance culminating in the No. 2 responsibility in the free world.

Of course I’m speaking of Kamala Harris. Everybody knows that but let me ask a question of Team Trump.

Why? Why do you guys do that?

Americans I know would love to hear about your economic plans, your education proposals, your family values, your backgrounds, degrees earned, military service, if any, more about the deficit and tax policy.

Plenty of stuff to cover if you only would, but no – you think talking about race is the key to success in your reelection bid.

Yes, there still are redneck morons who love to play the race cards you have dealt and they regularly show up at your rallies, by the thousands, sopping up your nonsense, repeating it to their children and grandchildren who don’t know any better.

Trump slipped one time when he said, “We’ve got to define her,” meaning demean her, try to destroy her, make her out to be the devil but it won’t work.

Here’s why. The world is a dangerous place, wars are warring and could expand should some draft dodger who has said to Putin do what you want with member countries of NATO gets a second term.

The leaders of Germany, France and the UK are for Kamala. The leaders of China, North Korea and Russia are for Donald and J.D. The first three countries are democracies. The second three are all run by murderous dictators who have never been honestly elected to any position of public responsibility.

New polling data has Harris now ahead of Trump 50%-49% and climbing. Also she raised $310 million in July , 65% from new donors. Meanwhile, Trump and Co. pulled in $162 million, but much of it had to be spent in defense of the indefensible, the legal bills associated with 94 indictments lodged against the former president in three states – New York, Florida, Georgia and, of course, the District of Columbia.

Yes I know. My personal, favorite saying is “Often wrong but never in doubt.”

On this one I’m not wrong and couldn’t be more right!
