   Go Obama.

   VOTE!

   Don’t be fooled by Trump. He has shown us who he is.

   Thank you, Obama.

   I watched this speech this morning. Obama remains one the best communicators in the Democratic party. He is even more relaxed, down to earth and funny now that he is out of office. He is right. This election is about values and character. Trump is corrupt and of bad character, and he is “always selling stuff” to line his pockets. He is a wealthy elitist that has no idea how regular people live, nor does he care to try to understand. As Obama points out, Trump likely never learned how to change tire or a diaper. The only skills Trump seems to have are cheating, blaming, making excuses and calling lawyers and despots on speed dial. Obama still knows how to connect with people.

     Retired,

     Given how out of touch Trump is with the lives of normal people–never changed a tire or a diaper, never pumped his own gas, never shopped for a bargain–it’s amazing that people who do all these things think he cares about them. As Obama said, Trump only thinks about himself.

   “Kamala Harris is ready for the Presidency.”

   If you say that Donald Trump is intellectually and morally unfit to be President, I agree 100% – the evidence is clear. But to everyone who is not blindly partisan, Harris does not inspire confidence in her ability to be President. Her public statements – and the few interviews she has allowed – show that she either has minimal grasp of serious policy matters and/or she is trying to fool the public that she now believes things that she has always opposed. Her word salads – not speaking clearly – show a lack of clear thinking (Trump does the same).

   Harris is not in the same league as Hillary Clinton. Hillary was exceptionally well-qualified to be President, agree with her policies or not. Harris and Trump are the two worst major party candidates of my lifetime of voting.

     Kamala Harris is definitely ready. She was Senator (the one who actually asked Supreme Court nominees pertinent questions instead of speechifying) AND she was the VP. You should have said “Trump and GW Bush are the two worst major party candidates of my lifetime of voting.”

     There isn’t a bit of evidence that she “believes things she has always opposed”, unless you launch that insult at every person, including yourself. The person unfit to be president (or be a parent or hold any job) are those who say “if I can’t have everything exactly the way I want it, I would rather make everyone suffer and give them nothing than to make a compromise.” Obama used to oppose gay marriage. Bernie Sanders used to oppose gun control. Kamala’s VALUES haven’t changed, just like theirs never changed.

     Trump’s values have never changed either – he has none except being in it for himself. And he has taken the entire Republican party with him.

     In essence, Gary Baker is equating Trump and Harris because he said, quote: Harris and Trump are the two worst major party candidates of my lifetime of voting. end quote

     Trump and Harris are the same on the worseness scale? No way, Trump is the worst ever, he’s morally bankrupt and a serial liar of epic proportions. No contest, vote for Harris. So who is Gary going to vote for if he thinks Harris is so terrible?

     Harris has a strong record of public service and accomplishments. In fact, she has more experience than some of the men that have served as President. As Obama noted in his speech, she was tough as a prosecutor and Attorney General in California, and she worked on bipartisan bills in the Senate including the recent border bill as Vice-President. Not to discount your opinion, but many of the people that have a problem with Harris are men, not only white men, but Black and Latino men as well. Some men appear to be having a problem with accepting Kamala Harris as President. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/10/obama-pittsburgh-black-men-00183379

     Gary, I disagree.
     Harris has excellent qualifications. She was elected District Attorney. She was elected State Attorney General. She was elected to the Senate. She is deeply empathetic. She understands the lives of ordinary people.

     There are few people as qualified as Hillary was, but In this election, Kamala is totally qualified and fit for the presidency. Unlike Trump.

     Trump could not be hired to be a file clerk for any federal agency because of his felony convictions. If you are not qualified to be a file clerk or even a maintenance worker, how are you qualified to be president?
