    She raised more money in a single day than Trump, the convicted felon and traitorous, treasonous, lying coward pedophile rapist.

    It was her FIRST day, ever, as Presidential candidate.

      And it was money raised through small donations. Something like a half million donors were donating for their first time.

      Contrast to Trump, who gets an allowance from Elongated Muskrat

                Yeah, I mean technically. I dunno, it’s a little bit tough to say that since there’s nobody else in the race (and thus she’s the only one with any momentum at all). She got the nod from the current president and the non-binding support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination. It’s not like there’s a whole lot of doubt that she’s going to be the nominee, unless something unexpected goes down over the next few days.

                And to be clear, I don’t think that diminishes how impressive her feat is. I just think it’s more about the fact that she’s managed to reinvigorate the entire political center-left in just a few days, and flip this race from “a 2020 rerun” to “something completely new.”

        She is a candidate. She’s not the nominee yet.

        You’re a candidate as soon as you announce. There can be dozens or hundreds of candidates. You just don’t get to be on the ticket until you’re nominated by your party.

      Emotionally, he’s about three. Aware of other people, but how they feel is of no account whatsoever to him. Lashes out at people for disagreeing. Lies to get his own way with no real remorse, but hates being found out and says it isn’t fair with no understanding of what fair really means. Hasn’t learned to share. Makes and breaks friends for very superficial reasons. Hasn’t learned the long term benefits of friendship and looking after others. Doesn’t like being held accountable and thinks that’s unfair. Calls people names.

        Yeah but gender/sex aside, the term “be a man” or “man up” can also mean to not be a coward or a weakling. He has yet to not be a cowardly weakling- so by that definition, not a man.

    Leave it to Trump to try and suggest that 79 is “young”, rather than play up the wisdom and experience angle. I’m not sure how anyone can support a leader who consistantly denies objective reality in the name of fluffing his ego. But there are a lot of reasons to deny Trump the presidency long before something as relatively small as his hubris. Well, small relative to being a known rapist and convicted felon, anyway.

    Being his campaign managers/operatives must be tricky.

    They have to feed his ego. Coming out and acknowledging his age is just not an option, and they can’t straight up tell him “you cannot get on a stage with Harris because you will inevitably say something bad that hurts your campaign.”
