Jeff Tiedrich - Kamalamentum is real -- and unstoppable

holy shit.

it’s been one week since Kamala Harris became a candidate for president. let’s look at all she’s accomplished in just seven days.

she’s picked up the endorsements of the entire Democratic establishment — the Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons. Nancy Pelosi. Chuck Schumer. Hakeem Jeffries. every Democratic governor. all fifty State Democratic Chairpersons.

she’s raised a double-fuckton of money. her campaign took in $81 million in its first 24 hours, and over $200 million in the first week— and 66% of the total came from first-time donors.

the grassroots are stoked. more than 170,000 volunteer have signed up to do phone banking, canvassing and other get-out-the-vote efforts.

Turn to trump. Fat chance. August is going to be cruel to trump. He and shady will continue to say crazy shit the whole month and bake it in. The focus is now on trump being weird.

It seems possible the convictions could get overturned and remanded for a new trial without using evidence from when he was president, which would undercut a big part of Kamala's argument and give him the ability to claim "hoax" even if it's a procedural ruling.

Holy Cow, that closing night is going to be almost orgasmic!

Dems will be SO FIRED UP that we’ll be unstoppable. All the way through Election Night and ONWARD to January 20th!!!

I’m old by now, and I’ve watched a lot of conventions and election run-ups, but I’ve never seen enthusiasm building like it is, this time. I’m gonna watch the Democratic convention as though it were ice cream covered in chocolate sauce with a cherry on top!

The people behind Trump at his latest rally were totally unenthusiastic. Not even fake enthusiasm. One guy waved his sign a little, the rest were all seated & looked bored or were looking at their phones. Trump was droning on about—oh crap, I don't even know what & does it matter? It's all the same whiny, weird shit we've heard for years now.

biggest problem is that he's lost the 'get rid of Biden' vote - the independent and swing voters who hate Trump but believe that President Biden is 'too old.'

Now those voters don't have to vote for Trump, they can vote for Vice President Harris.

This is the opposite of the truth, and applies directly to his party.

Sheesh.
