Tump tops Harris by 3 points in national survey
Former President Trump holds a three-point lead over Vice President Harris in CNNÂ’s first poll of the new race since President Biden ended his reelection campaign.
Trump leads Harris 49-46 percent in a head-to-head matchup, a closer race than previous CNN polls between Trump and Biden. The small lead is within the pollÂ’s margin of error.
^^^ Actually, I meant perspective, as in a modern view, rather than opinion. I wasn't expressing my opinion, I was trying to explain the view presented to me back in the early 70's.
Wasn't the post-war German government set up by the USA and allies to be a form of PR to ensure coalitions and weak government so that they could never swing to fascism or communism?
I feel I'm missing a few pieces of the jigsaw to have a serious debate about election processes.
They have courts for thatQuote:

Republicans allege Harris "coup" after swift candidate swap
Top Trump allies are furious over the stunning coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris, who clinched enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee less than 32 hours after President Biden dropped out.
Why it matters: Right-wing anger over the Harris "bait-and-switch" has bubbled over into a flood of conspiracy theories tied to the narrative that the Democratic establishment engaged in a "coup" against Biden.
Driving the news: The Trump campaign filed a complaint Tuesday over the Biden campaign's transfer of its massive war chest to Harris, alleging a "brazen money grab" that violates federal campaign finance law.
Zoom in: Even before Biden dropped out, the Trump campaign was laying the groundwork to challenge the legitimacy of a new Democratic candidate.
- "This is nothing more than an attempted coup by the Democrat Party," Trump senior adviser Chris LaCivita told Politico on the sidelines of the GOP convention last week.
- "They are actively engaged in an attempt — in my view, and a lot of people share this view — in deposing the president of the United States," he argued, claiming Biden could not step aside due to "cognitive" issues while still serving out his term.
Other Republicans — ranging from conservative influencers to elected members of Congress — have echoed that language over the last two days.
- "Joe Biden succumbed to a coup by Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hollywood donors, ignoring millions of Democratic primary votes," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted.
- "Y'all can argue over the word 'coup,' but Biden stepping aside is the American equivalent of all those people accidentally falling out of windows in Russia," wrote conservative radio host Erick Erickson.
The big picture: It's undeniable that Biden was nudged out of the race primarily by Democratic elites and donors, and that Harris never won a vote in the presidential primary. But ruthless party calculations aren't the same as a national "coup."
- For one, Biden is still the president — and plans to remain in office until Jan. 20, 2025, when he has promised an orderly transition of power to whomever wins the election.
- Even before he dropped out of the race, Biden was only the presumptive Democratic nominee. There's no legal precept by which the candidate who wins the primaries must be nominated; that's just how parties have chosen to run things since the 1970s.
- Plus, an AP-NORC poll after his debate performance found 65% of Democrats wanted Biden to withdraw. 90% of Democrats approve of Biden's decision to end his campaign, according to a new CNN poll.
- More than 2,800 delegates — grassroots Democrats who represent primary voters — have now pledged their support for Harris. They'll make it official at the convention in August, and the full American electorate will vote in November.
Between the lines: Some more conspiratorial-minded Republicans and large X accounts have tied Harris' quick nomination to baseless claims about Biden's health, even suggesting that Democrats are concealing his death.
- "I demand proof of life from Joe Biden today by 5:00pm," Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) tweeted Monday. "He needs to get in front of some camera and discuss if he's aware that he dropped out."
- Venture capitalist David Sacks — who addressed the RNC last week — promoted a video Tuesday suggesting that Biden's call into Harris' first meeting with campaign staff was generated by AI.
Reality check: Biden was seen traveling back to D.C. on Tuesday after recovering from COVID at his house in Delaware. He plans to give a prime-time speech about his decision to withdraw on Wednesday night.
What they're saying: "Donald Trump's GOP pushes conspiracy theories because they have no solutions, their candidate is an aging criminal who attempted a coup, and they are running on a dangerous Project 2025 agenda that is deeply unpopular," Harris campaign spokesman James Singer said in a statement.
The bottom line: Republicans are seeking to turn the tables on Democrats after three years of being attacked as an anti-democratic party for denying the results of the 2020 election.
- "Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-proclaimed 'party of democracy' has proven exactly the opposite," said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
- But there's little sign that Democrats — who have donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Harris campaign and other Democratic causes over the last 72 hours — see themselves as victims of a coup.
You are a misogynist, just to let you know.Quote:

For young people, I think misandry is way more of a problem than misogyny. On the Whatever youtube channel, pretty young American women constantly play the victim card. Brian, the patient and quietly spoken host, once replied that today's young American women must be among the most privileged people to have ever been on the planet. Yet these women endlessly repeat their college propaganda expressing contempt for men while also playing the victim card. WTF?
The Democrats will play the victim card ad nauseam against Trump. It helps that Trump is actually a misogynist and adjudicated rapist.
Since you ask, her main problem is what it has always been. She is too stupid to be a puppet.Quote:

Thanks for clearing that up, Joe.
Bottom line is Harris must win in 3 key battleground states to win. Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to name 3 biggies. Her VP pick will be key to win there as well as getting the young, female, black and latino Dem voters out in force.
The current polls mean near nothing. Look at them in mid October for a much better prediction of the likely winner.
I think the term is "shit stirring wanker".Quote:

Fox headline will probably be "Harris took campaign money from convicted felon".

I truly hope the Dems win this time. If Trump wins, then Americans deserve whatever's coming for them. (Problem is, they're a very big & influential country that they tend to drag everyone with them.)
^ You'd better hope Harris wins Katie
