As we all know, the election will be decided by Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

For as brain dead as he was and for how much his policies hurt rust belt workers, Biden for whatever reason was able to do semi-well there behind the whole “just a guy from Scranton” facade.

While I could see Kamala getting more votes than Joe would have due to more california/New York voters coming out to vote rather than just staying home, I see her doing worse in the Rust Belt, and therefore losing by a greater margin in the electoral. What are the opinions of the board?

Yes. She has no union credentials. The people who switched to Trump, like the Bernie Bros, will do so again. The decider will be Latinos and black turnout. The black vote going from 90% Dem to 95% Dem, like they did with Obama, could swing it.

She’s a downgrade at a 2 year old Head Start program

She’s no moderate, not that Biden was, but that was his mask

Harris is loathed by vast swaths of the black community. Her record as a prosecutor is a negative to her base.

Biden had the moderate union democrat feel. Harris is a west coast liberal who may help organized labor but at the cost of our faith, family and through radical immigration… our jobs!

To Rust Belt whites? Yes.

This is a desperate attempt to shore up the black vote lest Trump start getting them in serious numbers.



If black peoples stop voting for Dems at a 90% clip, they are fricked.

She's no popular in liberal strongholds because of her tough on crime record.

Why is her past not relevant after they dragged Trumps past through the courts? I don't get it, but as a preacher its not my style to downgrade anyone anyway. But politics is war.

No. She's a plus in Michigan because the state is now run entirely at the whims of metro Detroit.

She isn't hurting in PA or Wisconsin either, because absolutely no one on earth hates themselves more than white, middle class, white women in the midwest that live within 100 miles of a municipality of more than 250,000 people.

Have commercials saying she is a modern day slaver on high rotation.

*She kept people in prison beyond their release dates for the labor.
