It's better for Kamala to lose

Who's going to win Tuesday? 
It's a tossup. 
Who will have a harder time in the Oval Office? 
Kamala. 
Through her shortened candidacy, she hasn't show the ability to work with the many millions who support Donald Trump. 
You can't call Trump a fascist without tarring his supporters. 
The Senate will likely be controlled by Republicans in 2025. They will have at least 51 Senators and maybe a few more. 
Can she get anything through the opposition party leadership? 
Sure, she can try executive orders. 
Hello, Supreme Court. 
The courts slowed Trump in his first term. With more of his appointees in place now, any order she tries will have to be very limited.
A Facebook friend posted a meme about Brett Baier's disrespectful attitude toward Harris at her interview - holding out his hand. 
Think Putin or Xi will figure they can scare her with a hand gesture?
She's a creature of California, where people mostly agreed with her. A 50-50 country isn't her best way to shine.
She'll struggle mightily. 
The economy will struggle mightily under Democrat ideas with the Green New Deal. 
And I don't think Donald Trump - or his millions of voters - will disappear with a close loss.

Sweet Sixteen

The blog hits its 16th anniversary today.
Started as Obama was on the road to victory.
Now hoping that Trump gets his second term.
That will make for an entertaining future.

Reading list for 2025

There will be so many great books about the current election coming out sometime in 2025. 
Like Joe Biden's "I was pushed." 
And Kamala's "1001 Word Salads."
Or James Carville's "Life in a Louisiana doghouse."
The economy will boom with all the sales of these interesting books.

Kamala's HIM problem

The Harris campaign struggles recently can be summed up as HIM
H - Helene
I - Israel
M - Milton
Two hurricanes and Israel's success against its foes have shifted the momentum to Trump.
No matter how well you respond to hurricanes, so much damage sours the nation's mood.

McDonald's employee of the month? Trump

Donald Trump spent the lunch hour in a Pennsylvania McDonald's, filling up fry orders and dishing food through the drive through.
I'm lovin' it.
btw, I worked fast food in Towson, Maryland in the 1980s. My store is gone. But I'd hope one of my coworkers from those days would step forward and remember me.
My parents saved lots of stuff. Might have some paycheck receipts around.

Make Obama cry

CNN provides another motivation to vote for Trump on Nov. 5.
But a thought has circulated among several people close to the former president, they told CNN: If Trump wins, Obama might be seen as the aberration in the history of American politics, rather than Trump and his nativist authoritarianism. Obama acolytes have spent the last eight years rationalizing Trump as the last gasp backlash to the Democrat and his presidency.
Let's continue the era of Trump.
The arc of history bends back and hits Obama hard.
