Trump launches baseless attack on Kamala Harris.....

Source:CNN



Whatever she said on Thursday in her prebuttal, got under his thin skin. Calling her "unqualified". He went so far as to say Ivanka was better qualified and would make a "better VP."

Signs point Trump cannot handle this woman, and she has his number. Trump is scared.

Keep at him, Kamala. Go in for the kill.

With all the facts she has on him from 2015 up until now. Her prosecutorial skills will be his undoing. The manner in which she conducts herself, presents the facts, will have Trump pissing his pants. She will strike at his underbelly because she knows how to push his buttons with words like FAILURE.

Since then she's worked for her despot dad and sold stolen design shoes and other overpriced apparel made in overseas sweat shops. If not for her father, she'd probably be a mid-level manager at some accounting firm.

and certainly not anything regarding accounting which is a separate degree discipline. If she had taken enough class in statistics she might get to be an entry level data analyst, but that would be about it. No mid-level anything, unless, again it was daddy's company.

A BS in Econ is not necessarily a ticket to a management position.
A degree is accounting is probably a better launching pad for what you describe.
I see her more a cubical dweller in the accounting group of a mid-size company, at best.

Was Ivanka a past District Attorney for a major American city? Nope.

Was Ivanka the Attorney General for one of the most populous states in the country? Nope.

Was Ivanka ever elected to public office? Nope.

Was Ivanka ever elected to the U.S. Senate? Nope.

Is Ivanka Trump's daughter? Yes. And THAT is the only basis of qualification that Trump can imbue upon her.

So pathetic when you think how invaluable facts are to the GOP and its monarchical, nepotistic White House.

is far more qualified for the top job than dear old dad, never mind the daughter/wife being VP. Exactly what were his qualifications again?

Head of a major corporation or other large organization? Nope.

Any previous elected office? Nope.

Military service of any kind, never mind attaining a significant rank? Nope.

An honorable or ethical record/reputation in his chosen career path? Nope.

"Star" of a cheesy scripted reality show? Check.

A legend in his own mind? Check.

Anything else?

There's little value in debating anything at all with a toady like Pence.

Ignoring him, and going for Trumpsky... I think you're right about that.

I hope she grabs the seat of his ample pants and shakes him so hard he starts falling apart. Watching/listening to her on Thursday, she must have owned every courtroom where she appeared

"The president he is, is the president he will be".

It is all he knows. He has no magic. He is an old tin wind-up toy, rusting at the edges. Making noise, running in ever smaller circles and winding to a stop.

Comparing Ivanka to Kamala is a joke! Kamala can run circles around that brainless, vapid bimbo! There is absolutely no comparison. Ivanka is a complete moron, has no valid qualifications and is as annoying and shallow AF! But of course her daddy thinks she is the bees knees. What a loser family!
