Saw him interviewed last week. Whatever you think of his policies, he will be an effective campaigner.
Also, on the personal character front the Democrats have it all over the GOP. Donald Trump is just a scum bucket of a human beong and JD Vance has demonstrated he has no personal convictions other than being for JD Vance. The Dems have picked a career prosecutor and a career teacher/football coach.
I mean, honestly, this is laughable. Anyone who thinks Kamala has better character than either Trump or Vance is looking through a hyper-partisan lens. I mean, you have a leftist who slept her way to the top, used her race to get her advantages, made very questionable well-documented prosecutorial decisions, had multiple sexual relationships with men of questionable character, married a guy who got his nanny pregnant, has been totally incompetent as VP, changes her dialect to match her audience, and is disingenuous as the day is long.
LOL. I doubt anyone is buying what you're selling.
Usually you are rational. Not here.
Lets start with who Kamala is paired against:
Donald Trump never pays his debts if there is any possible way not to-he has left a trail of stiffed contractors and vendors that could stretch across the country.
He slept with a porn star right after his third wife had a child. He brags about sexually assaulting women and has been convicted about lying about the same.
In fact, he lies about everything to the point the defense is that "well you know he is lying so he is not really lying." This is a guy who used to promote himself to the social columns in a fake voice telling everyone what a stud he is.
His default method of discourse is to call people names.
He has a long history-dating back to the 1970's- of at least quasi-racist conduct. He redlined Blacks from his properties and stoked racial outrage over the Central Park 5. He argued that Mexican-American judges could not be fair to him because of his racist comments about Mexicans.
He has made up a fairy tale about how the 2020 election was stolen from him with zero evidence to back up his claim. When his efforts to bully the courts and state officials did not do the trick he rallied the troops. They got out of control. You can argue all day about wheter that was an insurrection or how much responsibility he bore for it but one thing is abundantly clear: when the United States Capitol was being ransacked he took hours to react because doing so would mean picking the nation's interests over his own.
You do not need to take my word for it-I saw a story yesterday that of the 42 people
he selected to serve in cabinet-level postions, 21 of them oppose his re-election. Not on policy grounds, but becuase they beleive him unfit to hold the office.
Politics is often subjective but there is only one conclusion that any sentinent being can draw about Donald Trump's perosnal character-it is abysmal.
As to Kamala, lets start with your opening adjecitve: she is a "leftist." That has zero to do with character. Jesus was a leftist, Mother Theresa was a leftist, Eugene Debs was a leftist, Paul Robeson was a leftist, Louis Brandies, Thurgood Marsahll, and Earl Warren were leftists, Ralph Nader is a leftist, etc. Those are people of character. A person's political views do not define a person's character in any way, shape or form.
As to the "substance" the idea that Kamala "slept her way to the top" is just a misogynist lie. She dated Willie Brown for a couple of years. He appointe her to tow almost anonymous state commissions. So friggin what? I am unaware of the "morally questionable" character of otherswhoshe dated but the point is-you have not said that she did anything that would besmirch her character.
I am sure very few people on this board are buying what Iam selling. That is becuase they long ago became imune to what a total catastrophe Donald Trump is as a person. The guy is everything we tell our children not to be and anyone who says difernt is lying to himself. If you are overwilling to overlook those flaws for policy reasons, that is your choice. But arguing that he has character anywhere near almost anybody in public life is empirically wrong. He is a unicorn of the black soul.
