Enough "attack" to make a point, but a bunch of positive vibes as well. The balance was perfect, she was amazing in every facet. Also a great contrast to the calamity of clowns we saw Sunday night sullying up NY City.

Unlike her opponent who talks about how great he is and how he wants to dispose of his enemies.

unexpected to me. I do, however, recognize that she just won the election. It was quite an impressive moment. Kudos to Kamala.

It's over. Now it's time to put Donny in jail.

While I wholeheartedly support Kamala, I'm pretty sure a significant number of voters would have liked to hear a position on what she would do to progress legislation aimed at climate mitigation. If I were a younger voter this would be a significant concern I would want addressed.

I know enough to know that Harris will do more to make progress against climate change than would Trump or the Republicans (who would make us go backwards) without needing to know detailed specifics of her plans. Is an ability to extrapolate just a benefit gained through additional life experience? I thought the confident optimism of youth would afford them the ability to clearly identify who they trust to fly the plane even without having all of the instrument readings.

But only if enough voters want it.

The crazy runs deep in some parts of America.
