The first law they should pass: "When your name appears on a ballot for federal office, the IRS automatically releases the last 10 years of your tax returns". That would probably keep 90% of the crooks and con men from running for office in the first place.

Trump is in the retribution phase of his narcissistic injury from the debate. Expect an increase in his threatening rhetoric between now and the election. Trump is untethered to reality but that doesn’t mean we have to be. Continue doing the work to get out the vote. We got this.

The fact that Trump is even in this race, much less polling close to the superior Harris, is an afront to democracy and decency.

Im a straight, white, middle-aged blue-collar white man in Missouri. I've never agreed 100% with any presidential candidate, but I will be voting for Harris. When it was Biden VS Trump, I was (wrongly) probably going to not vote for the first time in a long time.

As a 63 year old lifelong registered Republican who has always voted for the person over party, I really enjoyed watching VP Harris play with Trump like my cat does with a mouse.

[fredmyott]

As a 63 year old white man why would any woman vote for trump my son says all the time why would you vote against your best interest

[TarnishedBuddha]

I am a 62 y o white woman. I went to the rally in Greensboro, NC. It was packed with so many young college age 1st time voters! NC is going to Kamala!!!

[fatemeetsluck]

Not a Harris voter but nothing would be more hilarious than watching the GOP lose North Carolina, Texas, or Florida and further humiliate themselves

[FatFrankie]

I'm a North Carolinian, a registered "unaffiliated" voter, & I'm voting blue from the top to the bottom of the ballot come November 5th!!💙🇺🇲💞

My heart goes out to the Haitian children and families. I can’t imagine trying to fit into a new country and being vilified and stigmatized by a past President in a televised debate for the upcoming election. I sincerely hope that they also hear the message that not every politician or U.S. citizen is like this.

Lotsa trumpers still adore him. Crazy as can be. My neighbors and family members love him no matter what he does. I’m a former republican, I left the cult in 2016. Volunteer! Let’s help sanity win! Harris/ Walz 2024💙For the People!

My sympathy to the residents of Springfield that are now suffering bomb threats and mayhem because of this dangerous misinformation. Very unfair to slander your home and use it in this manner. Please stay safe 💙

[mariatu]

Trump has been getting away from so many things. Enough is enough. 81 million people fired Donald Trump in 2020 it will happen again in 2024🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[arthurlambert]

Why he is being allowed to run is a disgrace to America around the world !

[scottankers]

What happens down ballot will be very interesting. I'm a Republican voting straight Dem the first time ever.

[IndependentWood]

Kamala was masterful. Please vote blue

[jamespatts]

We need to get rid of the electoral college!!!

[Lpgfor]

But I cannot tell you, how many people are still worshipping Trump. It’s not a sure win for Kamala, as much as I wish it was. There are A lot of Trump supporters. And yes, they are nuts

[strangetrip]

I sincerely hope the military are ready to defend this country and its constitution.
