Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris stopped her fans from getting too wild with their Trump bashing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday.
On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.
“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.”
I just heard her speak for the first time today.
Better than Joe, but I don’t think she’s Obama tier. That man was king of the mic.
I’ll respectfully disagree and agree at the same time.
2008 Obama? Hell yeah. But 2012 Obama was kind of a slow speaker. His debates against Romney were not shoe-ins. He wasn’t as top tier amin his second term as he was in his first.
I uhhhhhhh… never really understood uhhhhhhhh… why Obama uhhhhhhhh… was uhhhhhhh… considered such a great orator. Sure he uhhhhhhh… could uhhhhhhh… clearly communicate a thought, but uhhhhhhh… it fucking took a while to uhhhhhhhh… get it out of his mouth.
This part is true. I think he just had a lot of charisma with it overall. Also, we had Bush Jr to compare him to, which makes anyone competent sound like a genius.
Thank you, dude was the William Shatner of Uh. Now go watch Robert Kennedy announce the death of MLK. Or read one of Lincoln’s speeches, or Cesar’s. There were a lot of great speakers out their of varying ideologies. Its definitely a talent that is sorely needed in a lot of politics today.
I always have to laugh at people who think him going over what he’s going to say before it comes out of his lips as he’s not good at speech.
Homie, he’s actually THINKING before he speaks. I know that might sound weird, but I for one think MORE people need to follow that way of talking.
I always imagine the Epic Rap Battle with Obama vs Romey for Obama speech cadence.
Everyone wondered what Harris had been doing as VP. It’s this. Preparing to be president.
The debate schedule was the key. One at the beginning and one near the end. If Biden had killed the first debate like he did with Paul Ryan, he’s the guy. If not, Harris is ready and waiting.
I honestly think the race was never as bleak as it seemed. The Dems know what’s at stake and have finally woken up.
Yeah Harris may have been waiting for her shot, and she’s getting my vote absolutely, but this wasn’t some dem moonshot to beat Trump. I voted for Biden against Trump. I’d do it again. But there’s many people I would have rather had as our president as a dem voter. I think Kamala will do great, and I’m glad she’s up for the nomination, but this was a moment of a good president realizing he’d do better for America by stepping down, not some ingenious dem plan to keep the White House.
I honestly think thatbthisbwas the plan all along. Biden pretending to go for round two and then last second dropping out and stepping aside for Harris
Bill Clinton was also a decent orator. He visited Ireland while I was in college and I went to see him speak in the centre of Dublin. Charisma just oozed from the guy.
Reagan was also good on the mic in bouts before his mental decline. The balloon pop “missed me” was God tier.
Did they do one on the Clinton visit? I’m sure he travelled around quite a bit as it was around the time of the peace process.
