My (non-confrontational) exchange with a Trumper

I was walking out of an AA meeting (where we don't discuss politics), chatting amiably with two guys. One guy made a joking reference to someone getting a brain transplant, and the Trumper chimes in with, "The vice president should get one of those."

"You mean J.D. Vance?" I responded.

"No. Kamala. Have you ever heard her speak?"

"Yeah. I like her," I said. "Have you ever heard J.D. Vance speak?"

"No," he replied. "He doesn't say much." (meaning Fox couldn't possibly be playing his insane clips)

"That's probably a really good plan," I said.

He just walked away.

3. Do you find it hard to find anything likable about Kamala Harris?

Most people here don’t have that problem.

[EYESORE 9001]

9. Not addressing *me*? Whom were you addressing in this thread open to all?

Anyone else you’d like to exclude?

10. Hey, Newbie

The thing that I like, and most Americans like about Kamala Harris is that she's not "the American Hitler" (J.D. Vance quote), Donald Trump.

I figure anyone who's not a rapist is a damn site better to serve in public office than a no-good piece of shit like Trump.

5. I like that she was a prosecutor and state AG before becoming a senator,

which is great when your opposition is a walking crime spree.

I like that she supports freedom and bodily autonomy for women, while the opposition wants government-enforced pregnancies.

I could go on and on. Only two?

7. Where did you see that?

Fox or OANN?

I proudly support the rule of law. Do you?

Welcome to DU.

8. HEY EVERYBODY! LOOK! WE'VE GOT ONE! He's trying the 'likability' thing, just like with Hillary.

Damn. That is one shopworn campaign strategy. I think it's going to fall apart on the way home.

12. That was DU's resident troll.

She posts dozens of times a day under various user names. It's her hobby.

13. I'm going to keep the 'him' up there.

Unless a Republican can convince me he thinks pronouns are important.

14. lol! Well played.

[Easterncedar]

15. Good one!

11. Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay.

I'll bite:
I like her vast experience as a successful prosecuter and also her successful work as AG in California. The knowledge and skills to perform those jobs and do them well indicates strength, drive, intelligence and an ability to lead and mange people. it shows an ability to prioritize and multi task.

Now I have a question for you: Do you like pizza?

2. "doesn't say much"? shayD never shuts up, his gums never stop flapping!

He wrote a book!

16. Like I said, Fox doesn't play his weird clips apparently

[EYESORE 9001]

17. TBH, I've heard nary a peep from Shadypants the past few days

Maybe he’s under a gag order
