This should be Kamala's first statement in debate, someone please tell the campaign about this

[Eliot Rosewater]

In the debate, Kamala’s first comment should be “I’m sorry, normally when I’m in a room with a convicted felon under several more existing indictments, I’m not debating them, I’m PROSECUTING them.”


And I am as serious as a goddamn heart attack about this, somebody somewhere sometime somehow has to put this son of a bitch’s existence in this campaign in correct context!

I edited to change convicting to prosecuting per someone in the thread who pointed out my mistake.

[OLDMDDEM]

1. I second the motion.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That is perfect!

She should definitely do that!

[thucythucy]

3. I'd delete "I'm sorry."

No need for her to apologize, she'd simply be telling the truth.

[Raine1967]

10. Agreed. NT

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. It was more a figure of speech like

"I'm sorry, but aren't you the one who refused to call in help when a mob was trying to kill legislators at the Capitol on January 6th?"

[thucythucy]

28. I suppose it depends on the tone of voice.

Either way works for me.

[Volaris]

32. And just call him Convict the whole debate,

because fuck his feelings.

[Silent Type]

4. Think that would be a good zinger later on in debate.

[Blue Owl]

5. Another point I hope she mentions during the debate

Is that Donald has led a life of white collar privilege and been allowed to get away with so much unethical behavior he can’t even see his actions are illegal anymore. A second set of standards have been created for tRump that don’t exist for the rest of us, so he is not fit to be making policy and rules for the rest of us.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

6. "I'm sorry" is unnecessary. The slobfather has never, ever apologized - a sign of his narcissistic sociopathic

personality disorder - The term narcissistic sociopath is used to describe someone who manipulates and harms others for their own personal gain.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. I guess in my mind I was thinking of the "I'm sorry" as her saying that to

The moderators and the audience and not to the traitor.

But either way!

[JustAnotherGen]

26. Yeah -she doesn't need to apologize

Just throw that shit out there and let America eat it up!

[2naSalit]

7. I have a sneaky feeling...

That this has already been considered and probably going to be used. It's a no-brainer for a prosecutor to think of it.

[rubbersole]

13. And add "they are usually wearing restraints."

After a brief pause, "like Hannibal Lector."
The diaper would automatically load itself. 😒

[2naSalit]

15. That would...

Probably set him aflame and end the debate.

[ancianita]

9. OMG that is so good! Somebody's got to get this to her debate staff!

[NameAlreadyTaken]

11. Prosecuting them

Only a judge or jury can convict

[Auggie]

19. Thank you

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. True. Will fix.

[JoseBalow]

12. "I usually deal with their defense attorneys"

[betsuni]

14. She often says things like this, no need to tell her campaign as if they're sitting around watching TV and don't know

what they're doing, and especially no need to tell Harris what to do.

In her speeches often says things like "I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. ... So, hear me when I say I know Trump's type." Why audiences sometimes break into "Lock Him Up" chants.

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. So dont make suggestions, keep my mouth shut. Got it.

I dont know what your attitude towards me is all about but I will ignore it going forward.

Maybe if more people made it known she would not be risking anything by doing this, that her base and others WANT her to do this. Otherwise the campaign might consider it too risky, which makes sense.

But I should shut up and know my place, got it.

EDIT

I am not thrilled with your response to me but I am also not thrilled with my response to you, I was angry when I wrote it. I should have not been this hard on you. We are all here for the same reason and goal.

[Augiedog]

16. Perhaps saying: my professional position normally prohibits engaging socially with criminals.

[Nasruddin]

17. "I'm making a sentencing recommendation"

[not a texan]

18. If he stalks her like Hillary

If he pulls that she should say something like, "DonOLD, I will defend myself from a known rapist who tries to sneak up on me from behind." Don't say it makes me nervous or show any weakness, let him know you will put him down like a dog.

[Katinfl]

20. Isn't he literally out on bail?

That right there says it all.

[wendyb-NC]

22. That's exactly what needs to happen

He's been given a pass on his crude, narcissistic, vindictive, path of destruction of our democracy, for way too long.

[joanbarnes]

23. Please share far and wide

[Zoomie1986]

24. I'd leave off the 'I'm sorry.'

Never apologize for telling the truth.

[EastBayGuy]

25. Brilliant! I'd wait for an especially tense moment to

provoke an uncontrollable all-consuming rage on live TV!

I hope and suspect the campaign reads these boards!

[newdeal2]

29. It has to begin at the top

You cannot wait for Trump’s nonsense to start. Hit him hard, early and often in the debate to throw him off his game.

[Jack Valentino]

30. Goddamn RIGHT!

The MSM has done little but completely "normalize" what is a completely ABNORMAL situation,
in this election!

In any past scenario, Trump would have been driven out of the race, long before now!
Even the appearance of impropriety, or a hint of impropriety,
would have ended such a candidacy....

HARUMPH GARY HART 1988---- ???!!!!

He probably committed adultery-- although he never admitted to such,
and it has never been entirely proven to be true...

But now we have a GOP candidate who has been adjudicated as having committed RAPE,
and ordered to pay damages for such in a civil case---

and yet he became the presidential nominee of one of the two major parties!!!!

(not to mention the 30-some felonies for which he has been CONVICTED,
and the other alleged crimes for which he has yet to stand trial)

WTF

[Doodley]

31. Sorry, but that is a terrible suggestion. How is that going to win over any Trump voters? This is the first

time a lot of voters will hear her speak. They don't know her. She needs to come across as likable, not a smartass.
What is it you are trying to achieve with this statement? If I'm thinking about voting Trump, how is that going to make me warm to her or move in her direction?

[Eliot Rosewater]

34. Trump voters aren't gonna vote for her, this will make it clear

How absurd it is to have him on that stage and in the campaign etc. hopefully to people who have no intention of voting.

Very, very few Trump voters will change their mind, some will but very few, I’m never thinking of them ever when I think of this stuff.

[Doodley]

35. We need every vote.

36. She will shut him

down, he's running scared. He's a POS.
