Kamala is great I agree, however, she didn't have to build her campaign, staff, and open offices from scratch... Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Oct 5 #11

Actually: sheshe2 Oct 6 #13

This is not true. Self Esteem Oct 6 #12

See post 13. sheshe2 Oct 6 #14

Yeah. None of that has anything to do with your original point. Self Esteem Oct 6 #15

Gee. sheshe2 Oct 6 #16

Most rallies are SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #25

Nope. Harris' rallies are not planned months in advance. That is not a thing in presidential politics. Self Esteem Oct 7 #26

No they are not SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #27

It's not unfair. Self Esteem Oct 7 #28

Yes it is unfair SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #29

No it's not because the campaign's infrastructure hasn't been up for only a few months. Self Esteem Oct 7 #30

Yes, they inherited SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #31

It is a new campaign but I still want to see them out there as much as possible. Self Esteem Oct 8 #32

They'll do as many rallies that make sense SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #33

Rallies are imperative. Self Esteem Oct 8 #34

They are a useful part of a campaign SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #35

They are imperative. Especially at this stage. Self Esteem Oct 8 #38

Again, it's unfair to compare to the Obama 12 campaign SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #43

No it's not. Self Esteem Oct 8 #44

It's not playing it safe SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #45

Trump likes rallies SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #52

Holding one rally a week won't cut it. It's that simple. Self Esteem Oct 9 #53

Cut it for who? SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #55

I trusted Hillary's campaign would make the right decisions too down the stretch. Self Esteem Oct 9 #56

Well like I said SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #57

I've told the campaign already. Self Esteem Oct 9 #58

Great SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #59

Good point. Fortunately, we have a president who can deal with a lot of that since he's not running. Self Esteem Oct 8 #41
