Kamala is basically Carter in that comparison because the right has put what they put on Joe on her. It's why she was unable to build on her initial lead, the Rs were able to turn it in her.

AND it is was right wing framing that took Carter down. Trump is not facing that highly disciplined and coordinated attacks, while the right has normalized his insanity to half the country give or take.

It actually is why Kamala was not able to build on her initial lead. She is Carter in this comparison.

While I don't think it'll be a landslide (oh, I'd be thrilled to be wrong!) I'm thinking at least ? 54% KH vs 46% DT electric_blue68 Oct 2024 #7

54-46 would be a landslide Wiz Imp Oct 2024 #36
