Harris "losing momentum/honeymoon" isn't going to happen

Much to the chagrin of maga and the media. First up is the VP pick then a rousing convention then a string of high visibility rallies all in the dog days of August when the results bake in. All the while trump behaves like the KKK grand wizard and weird beard continues to fumble fuck.

Things are looking damn good.

She is getting nothing but positive reviews right now. And Trump's attacks seem stale and we've heard them over and over for years.

Should create a lot of positive headlines in September.

August is going to be brutal to trump and it's only the first day.

Usually there are swings in momentum between the conventions and the election. I think that you are correct, though ..... those changes tend to take place when a candidate makes an unforced error -- such as appearing in a tank -- or when the opponent can paint the candidate as out of touch with the working class. At this point in time, both of these potentials favor VP Harris. The felon does not do well when he is confronted with facts or mocked, both of which will continue. And Vance is a gift to our party.
