Kamala Harris turns the GOP into the gang that couldn't shoot straight

Trump embarrasses himself at the NABJ conference while Vance cant escape his cat lady obsession

That brings us to Donald Trump. In what passes for wisdom in that void between his ears, Trump found himself visiting the National Black Journalists Associations gathering in Chicago Wednesday where he offered his keen insight on the current presidential race. Trump falsely claimed in an interview with three Black women reporters that Vice President Kamala Harris happened to turn Black a few years ago, saying that all of a sudden, she made a turn in her identity.
You can imagine how well that went over. Of course, Trump began the interview with the reporters at the NABJ by insulting co-moderator Rachel Scott of ABC News because the event was delayed about 30 minutes for technical reasons. For those of us who covered the Trump presidency for any length of time, that was not only hypocritical but hilarious. We routinely used to bet on just how late Trump or any of his staff would be at any event it hosted. After a while we automatically assumed that when the Trump administration announced a set time for an event we would have at least 45 minutes after that announced time before the event actually occurred.

Harris hasnt even picked a running mate yet and there are even Republicans who are telling me, As long as they arent drooling or actively engaged in cannibalism Ill consider voting for that ticket. You almost wonder if the best Harris campaign strategy is to just play videos of Donald Trump and JD Vance making fools of themselves during the next three months. You know its coming.
What a difference 10 days makes on the campaign trail. Simply naming Harris as the Democratic candidate for president instead of incumbent President Joe Biden has caused the Republicans to engage in a circular firing squad thats more reminiscent of the Democratic Party than the GOP. Suddenly the MAGA party looks like the gang that couldnt shoot straight. ...............(more)

When a Republican leader concedes that their running mate choice is weaker than expected and they fear that Harris could Nominate a turnip as Vice President and do better than we did,
