No way ?!?Noises that Trump is already wanting to replace Vance.
Starting to look like a clusterfuck for the Republicans.
Is that possible at this stage after convention ? I suppose he could just step down

As long as Biden was in place then tangoman felt in control, now Biden has gone i suspect he‘s feeling a bit twitchy.No way.

Two attack lines on Kamala Harris, - colour and misogyny.

Let's be honest on why Kamala is where she is today, she was the 'DEI' pick for Biden (not even going into the WIllie Brown rabbit hole).Two attack lines on Kamala Harris, - colour and misogyny.
It is a bit complicated after the convention. Much easier before. There really isn't any formal procedure for what to do if a nominee withdraws (or is withdrawn) after they are nominated because it hasn't happened before. Presumably the RNC would ad-hoc some rules to make it work. They'd probably be better off doing it before the DNC since even though the Republican side of the ticket is now set, the Democratic side is not, and so no ballots should have been printed yet.No way ?!?

They (the MAGA cult) are already trying to criticize her for "laughing".I like Kamala's style. I think she'll win. But most of all, she has a real sense of humour and laughs. Trump has no sense of humour and
I've never seen him laugh the miserable ***k.

FFS, they really have nothing.

That might sound ugly and ruffle feathers, but that's why she was picked as VP, to gather more votes from female south asian and (some) black female voters.
And to clarify my own stance, I'm personally all for women in power, and I'd personally vote for Tulsi over all current possibilities if that was ever an option.
I've seen it argued that JD Vance was an arrogant pick (and also an arrogant prick, but I digress) intended as a victory lap over a fatally flawed Biden. He was never intended to pick up extra votes from undecided (it being decided that they didn't need them) and instead to stoke the base (again). He was also a last minute pick pushed by Donald Trump Jr (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Vance, if you wanted to unpack that weirdness) over the more boring (but less threatening) Doug Burgum.I've always been quite impressed with Harris and could see her as President. However, I'm looking at it with British eyes and from a British political upbringing. America is different - more racist, more mysogynist. Assuming Harris gets the nomination, she has the mother of all fights on her hands but is the diametric opposite of Trump so this should be one hell of a battle.
I do think that Trump has made a bad error in selecting Vance as his running mate. In a tight contest every vote counts, and I don't feel Trump has broadened his appeal. Indeed in some ways Vance is more MAGA than Trump himself.
It is crucial that Harris chooses the right VP candidate that can appeal to middle America, is an excellent communicator and - ideally - will bring with them the backing of one of the swing states. Roy Cooper of North Carolina ticks many boxes but I like Mark Kelly of Arizona - former astronaut and Navy fighter pilot.
Yet if she didn't laugh, they'd denounce her as a humourless ball-breaking feminazi.They (the MAGA cult) are already trying to criticize her for "laughing".

Cheatle resigns.
America will vote in a black President again if they believe in what they are selling, I'm assuming the same would apply with a woman as well, Clinton lost to Trump as she was awfulI've always been quite impressed with Harris and could see her as President.

I think that's a little unfair and maybe disingenous. Hillary relatively significantly beat Trump in the popular vote.America will vote in a black President again if they believe in what they are selling, I'm assuming the same would apply with a woman as well, Clinton lost to Trump as she was awful
I personally don't believe Vance was a good appointment, I was quite surprised he didn't go for someone much more popular, well known and generally liked by hispanic voters.Harris has a chance, but this is the same person Trump was confident Vance would have the better of in a debate, will he fear her?
Ah, I'm not sure.Trump would have planned for this.
Maybe, I think it could go either way. More ammunition (should she make any flub/s as president) for the red team to use against her during the election campaigns. And on the other foot, more experience and confidence having performed in the role for a few months.I think she would be in a stronger position if Biden stepped down her and gave her the top job now.
