Was this the start of a US Presidential campaign

[Panda-NZ-]

At this stage it looks inevitable for a second Trump Presidency, the assassination attempt survival is a massive gift to their Republican campaign, he is locked in as the running candidate. Look how the 'messaging' is swiftly changing to 'governing all people of America'. Rah rah, fist pump.

Yep dems need a circuit breaker and to go on a high-energy offensive. I doubt the DNC is capable.

Kamala harris ripping into JD vance's "poor me" backstory is smart but her inexperience with campaigns and media events shows.

No worries, they will drag in a Jacinda from somewhere...

She's either on the cocaine, or got Pinocchioitis.

Lets be fair to her, she did say she had a "sweat moustache"....

How has this "America, a country split" line of BS been able to be pushed by the media?

If America is split, then so is every democratic country in the world, including NZ.

If people are passionate about their politics, so be it!

It's not the media it's the partisan behaviour of the two parties, particularly the Republicans who in the past have shut down the Government over the debt ceiling, however when they are in power spend more.

Add Trump into the mix with his aggressive, ugly and threatening rhetoric. Unfortunately Winston Peters has started to take a leaf out of Trump's book and used it here. Not something we as a country should aspire to.

And what do you suggest, we revert to the disheveled remains of Jacindas Screw up.

It's funny that in all the new found realisation that Biden is not mentally competent to stand again for President, months ago, an DOJ investigator found that Biden was not competent to stand trial on his classified document charges. That was awkward, but convenient at the time, but how on earth did he manage to continue in his Presidency and secure the Democrat nomination, when he was assessed unfit to stand trial?

So what will Democrats do? If Biden is not fit to stand again, he should resign his Presidency immediately. That would usher in Harris, something that scares the Democrats as much as it does the rest of the US.

Very pertinent question.

Old men with poor memories would rule out many of the Presidential candidates over the years. However poor memories and seniority are not disqualifications for the presidency. Memory lapses and cognition issues can get worse over time too. Nothing sinister about that. What about corruption and criminality?

Poor old Trump’s memory has failed as frequently if not more frequently than Biden’s. Seemingly when recall was of great importance too. Was it an old man’s memory issues or something more sinister?

Spit the sand out of your mouth as you pull your head out of it BJauck. Biden was ruled not fit to stand Trial! It's not a bipartisan thing! If you're not fit to stand trial, what are you doing being the President of the US? How do you secure the nomination for the party?
