LA Times article out today covering her laugh.  

https://archive.is/yuKzi

The funniest thing about this story is I can't remember ever hearing Trump laugh, not once.

Anyone got a vid of Trump laughing, in any context, ever? In the 80s, while hosting The Apprentice, anything? Of course you don't, he's never done it. 

That seems way creepier and more offputting than Kamala's show of laughing whenever someone asks her a question she doesn't like. Can't believe this article didn't mention it.

https://archive.is/LKyz3 -- More polls show people dislike Kamala despite Joe's popularity.

Kamala Harris has become the most unpopular US vice president six months into an administration since at least the 1970s, according to polls.

Two recent polls both showed 46 per cent of Americans approved of Ms Harris, with 47 per cent and 48 per cent disapproving.

By contrast Joe Biden's approval rating in an average of polls is 51.3 per cent, and disapproval is 44.9 per cent. One of the most concerning elements for the White House is Ms Harris's unpopularity among young people.

An Economist/YouGov poll found 41 per cent of voters aged 18-29 had an "unfavourable" view of Ms Harris, with only 36 per cent viewing her "favourably." Ms Harris is also struggling with Hispanic voters, possibly due to her role leading US border policy.

Of the 48 per cent in the Economist/YouGov poll who viewed the vice president "unfavourably," the vast majority [40 per cent] said they did so "very unfavourably." Ms Harris has alienated some Hispanic voters by telling people from Central America "Do not come" to the US, while also infuriating conservatives and some independents by taking many weeks to physically visit the border.

The only recent vice president to have similarly poor ratings after six months was Mike Pence, but he was not "underwater". According to Gallup 42.1 per cent approved of Mr Pence's performance at that point, and 41.9 percent disapproved. The previous vice president - Mr Biden - had an approval rating above 50 per cent after six months. Before that Dick Cheney, and Al Gore, were in the 60s at the same stage. Even Dan Quayle, the much-mocked vice president of George H.W. Bush, was nowhere not underwater after six months.
He had an approval rating of 43 per cent, and disapproval of just 22 per cent, with 34 per cent undecided.

Shes not going to win an election. She couldn't even make it out of the Democratic primary, shes not winning a general election. I don't even think she will be the nominee in 2024. The only reason she would be is if she was offered up as a sacrifice in the face of a massive GOP wave so they could protect a better candidate for 2028.

Will be hilarious if neither Biden or Harris are on the '24 ticket.

Then again, Biden/Harris getting completely BTFO by Trump/DeSantis four years after capitalizing on their '20 squeaker by doing nothing, nothing at all may be even more hilarious, so I kinda hope the Dems do try to run this shit back one more time. Would absolutely be political malpractice, but then so is everything the DNC does.

ITT: Nabs finally admits to wanting another Trump term.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

"I think Biden/Harris losing to Trump would be funnier than whatever other slapdash random ass nightmarish ticket the dogshit DNC would come up with losing to Trump" = wanting Trump to win? 

Anyway here is a Very funny article

Vice President Kamala Harris' former staffers and fundraisers anticipate a potentially messy primary if she goes up against fellow Cabinet member Pete Buttigieg in a race for the White House. 

A free-for-all Democratic presidential primary could come as early as 2024 if President Joe Biden decides he won't run for reelection, though he has said that he plans to. Some Democratic donors and strategists are already privately discussing what the field could look like in 2024 if Biden opts out. 

One former rival who's firmly on Kamalaworld's radar: Buttigieg, the transpiration secretary and former South Bend, Indiana, mayor who's the only other 2020 Democratic primary candidate now serving in the Biden administration. 

A possible Harris versus Buttigieg contest is at least a few years off, but the topic has gotten more attention now that donors who support Buttigieg have been strategizing about how to prod him to run in 2024 if there's an open seat, as Insider recently reported. 

"I have no doubt that he's going to run and he's not going to need much persuading," said Steve Phillips, a longtime Harris fundraiser and a San Francisco-based Democratic donor who founded the organization Democracy in Color. The early organization of Buttigieg donors "is going to piss off some significant set of people," Phillips said. "The K-Hive is a very energetic and fiercely loyal constituency." 

People close to Buttigieg are stressing that he's not behind the donors' 2024 strategizing, and people close to Buttigieg and Harris say they've become friendly as colleagues in the Biden administration and are focused on their current jobs. 

Some of Harris' allies are irked by what they view as contrasting media coverage surrounding the vice president and the transportation secretary early in the administration. Harris has faced criticism for dysfunction in her office, a botched immigration interview, and appearing in a space video with child actors. 

"Pete's getting a lot of wonderful stories," one former Harris donor said. "People have such a positive feeling of Pete. It's just this fuzzy feeling. The only news we hear about him is that he adopted two kids." 

Insider interviewed a dozen former Harris staffers, fundraisers, and Washington Democratic insiders about early discussions of a 2024 presidential primary. Most of them spoke on background to avoid gaming out future White House elections before Biden makes a formal announcement about whether he'll seek a second term or bow out of presidential politics after finally fulfilling his longtime career goal. 

There's broad consensus that a potential Harris versus Buttigieg contest could be divisive for the party, and some are worried it could weaken Democrats' chances of defeating the Republican nominee. 

"It would be messy, and honestly I don't know if Secretary Buttigieg wants that smoke, given what ultimately limited his campaign in 2020 — that it was viewed to be not diverse, not representative of a changing country, that it was essentially viewed as a way station for disaffected white liberals," said a Democratic strategist who has worked for past presidential campaigns.

Democratic insiders also stress that Harris and Buttigieg aren't the only Democrats who could run in 2024 if Biden doesn't. Stacey Abrams, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe are among the names that get mentioned. 

But Harris and Buttigieg are viewed as two of the most likely contenders, given their ages, loyal followings, and high-ranking positions in the Biden administration. 

A former Harris staffer also predicted a potentially "messy" primary, adding that Buttigieg would be a "very formidable candidate" in the next Democratic presidential primary. There has been tension between Harris and Buttigieg since the 2020 primary, the former Harris staffer said. "On some level, some people in her orbit felt like he sucked some of the wind out of her sails." 

Harris dropped out of the race in December 2019 before any of the state nominating contests even occurred, falling short of her supporters' expectations. Harris told supporters at the time that she didn't have enough money to continue. Buttigieg went on to win the Iowa Democratic caucuses in February but dropped out in March after coming in a distant fourth in the South Carolina primary. 

Biden picked Harris as his vice-presidential nominee in August 2020; he nominated Buttigieg that December to lead the Transportation Department. 

For Harris to succeed in a future Democratic presidential primary, "she's got to prove that she can build a winning campaign," the former Harris staffer said. "She's got to go win. I don't think she's got a stranglehold on the party. I don't think it's like Al Gore for Bill Clinton."

Harris made history as the first woman and the first person of color to be elected vice president, but even many of her allies expect her to face a crowded field of challengers. 

"I fully expect that the next presidential election is going to be fiercely contested," Phillips said. He pointed to the more than two dozen Democrats who ran in 2020. "This is not 1980, where Vice President Mondale is presumed to be the Democratic nominee." 

Another Democratic strategist agreed that Harris' position as vice president won't mean that she automatically clears the field in 2024, or even in 2028. 

"I think a bunch of other candidates say, 'You're not the anointed one here,'" the strategist said. 

 

 

In pro wrestling terms, Biden is what is known as a transitional champion. The only question is if he loses the title to "whoever his challenger is" (it's Trump) or retires first.

Ok, we always knew it was going to be bad, but this is a historically hated person, and rightly so.

To most of those paying attention, Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have hit the skids.

Her approval numbers are lower than President Joe Biden’s, as well as every one of her predecessors at this point in office. Her role has largely been limited to casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate or managing the administration’s stalled work on migration and voting rights—none of which is helping in the polling department. Fellow Democrats have begun openly fretting to each other (and to journalists) that she isn’t ready to lead the party’s national ticket, and at least one poll indicates that if a theoretical open primary were held today, she might command single-digit support.
