Category: Kamala Harris

At a Tuesday campaign rally in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris formally introduced her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to a raucous crowd of nearly 15,000 enthusiastic supporters.

The Harris-Walz rally triggered failed one-term former president Donald Trump, who began ranting like a madman on his Truth Social site, suggesting that Harris had stolen the 2024 Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden.

Here’s Trump’s manic screed:

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!”

Could it be any clearer that convicted felon Trump is both jealous and scared? That’s certainly the consensus from political experts, some of who noted that the Donald sounds like he’s lost what was left of his already tenuous sanity.

Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project said there’s no doubt in his mind that Trump did indeed watch the Harris-Walz rally, and it drove him crazier than usual.

“I promise you, Trump is watching this rally and throwing s— against the wall, absolutely losing his f—ing mind,” Wilson wrote on Twitter. “He hates how good she’s getting. He hates that the audience that looks like America instead of a convention of inbred catalytic-converter thieves.”

I promise you, Trump is watching this rally and throwing shit against the wall, absolutely losing his fucking mind.

He hates how good she’s getting.

He hates that the audience that looks like America instead of a convention of inbred catalytic-converter thieves.

Those comments were echoed by CNN political analyst David Axelrod, who served as a top adviser to Barack Obama.

“Such an interesting transformation has happened. Suddenly, Donald Trump feels like the embattled incumbent. I mean, that’s the way he’s behaving. And they are presenting themselves as the turn-the-page candidates. And that’s the field that we got tonight.”

Axelrod added that Walz’s humor was incredibly refreshing.

“But he did it with that kind of gentle humor that actually lands well,” he said. “And I have to say, Trump is getting– he’s unsettled by this change in the environment. You can see it in his tweets and so on. And there is a kind of grinding quality to the Trump campaign right now that plays very badly against what you saw tonight, which was very joyful and positive. And there was this feeling of possibility.”

The 2024 election is far from over. But Kamala Harris and Tim Walz now have momentum on their side. That’s very bad news for Trump and J.D. Vance, both of whom now look like weird, churlish freaks when compared to the two happy warriors on the Democratic ticket.

Two weeks ago, it seemed like failed one-term president Donald Trump was headed for an easy and overwhelming win in the 2024 election.

Then President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris.

Since then, USA Today columnist Rex Huppke notes, Trump has been flailing about, trying to regain his momentum, but the more the complains and rages at campaign rallies, the more he slides in the polls.

Vice President Harris, what have you done to this already very unstable man? The cheese has somehow slid farther off his cracker.

Trump is so shook that he backed out of a planned Sept. 10 presidential debate on ABC News, instead demanding a Sept. 4 debate at his network safe space – Fox News – with “a full arena audience.”

What Harris has done is put Trump on the defensive and provide a striking contrast between the two candidates, especially when it comes to the enthusiasm surrounding their respective campaigns.

After he was shot at and lightly wounded, Trump vowed to change, Huppke recalls, and that change lasted all of 24 hours.

Since then, the wheels have come off the GOP’s wagon, and Trump has backslid into a somehow worse version of the Trump whom voters sent packing in 2020. He’s panicked and flailing. Quicker than ever to default to the racism that has always undergirded his worldview.

An unhinged Trump is exactly the sort of candidate his advisers and campaign managers were hoping wouldn’t make an appearance until after the votes had been counted.

Instead, Evil Don is back with a vengeance, and that version of the disgraced ex-president is the same one that drove voters away by the millions in 2020.

What the refocused voters are seeing – what they saw in the Atlanta rally and in the rambling interviews he has been doing – is a man who let an opponent switch up and short-circuit his brain.

Yes, there are indeed 90 days until Election Day on November 5, Huppke concludes, but can Trump rein in his rage and focus on the issues?

But it’s clear that Trump is rattled, and that his usual tricks of hurling insults and invective aren’t working. In fact, the smiling calm of the Harris campaign is making Trump’s cruelty look worse than ever. That’s why the label “weird” has been sticking. For many, it’s all getting a bit tiresome.

And that just makes Trump angrier, and worse.

We have a long way to go until November, folks. But where we stand here and now, Trump looks like he’s broken. Broken and running scared. 

Donald Trump has always been terrified of strong, accomplished women. Now Kamala Harris has him jumping the shark at a time when voters want exactly the opposite. Could a Democratic landslide be in the offing?
