In just the past week, trump completely dropped the ball at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, drawing condemnation from the likes of Graham, Hawley, and other republicans for his comments on Harris and her ethnicity (given she went to a predominantly African American college but also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, whom she has belonged since 1986). That attack has energized members of black sororities, fraternities, and others. Then he insults not only the very popular GA governor Brian Kemp but also his wife. Those comments likely just cost trump GA. Watching the collapse of trump is amusing (and not surprising).

She didn't transform to black until Biden needed to fill his DEI quota. |

She has been a member of a black sorority for 38 years. |

Being a member of a black sorority doesn't make one black. Being a member of a sorority also doesn't make one a woman, either (see news story below). Kamala isn't "authentically black" or an "African-American." Her life experience was being raised in Indian culture, not the African American culture. Her family ancestry isn't tied to slavery, suffering Jim Crow, nor the fight for Civil Rights. In fact, her family OWNED slaves in Jamaica. |

No matter your feeling, prominent republicans like Graham and Hawley think it was a mistake. That is telling. Not really. Smart people, even those in agreement on most things, can disagree. I think Trump was right to call out her blackness out. In 2016 she was our first female ASIAN senator. Then, in 2020, Biden openly wanted a black female VP. Wha la! Now she is black. As I have written before, she shares no common culture, past or present generations, with black Americans. If you want to call “black” a skin color, fine. It she doesn’t appeal to many black Americans who rightly do not see her as authentically black. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/08/black-lives-matter-stance-kamala-harris/679311/ |

I agree with you that Trump should be focusing on all of Kamala's policy flaws -- failed Border Czar, anti-Police, Defund the Police, comparing ICE to the KKK, keeping black men in jail after the sentences expired (vs Trump's prison reform that released black men on drug charges), Green New Deal, anti-Jewish beliefs, etc -- instead of simply talking of her ethnicity. However, he's neutered in the mind of many blacks the idea that she's a black woman, especially since she's distanced herself from the community when not trying to put them in jail. |

Why hasn't she given any interviews since she benefitted from the biden coup? Why did she say she would debate Trump any time and any place and then refuse to go on fox news? |

However, he's neutered in the mind of many blacks the idea that she's a black woman, especially since she's distanced herself from the community when not trying to put them in jail. I believe Trump should be focusing on all of Kamala's (and Biden's) flaws. When the MSM and the DNC comes out claiming Kamal's coronation (who did not go thru no primary scrutiny and invalidated 15 million democrat voters) has historical significances, they're making it about race. Who's the racist. In the words of Coach Boone, "I don't scratch my head unless it itches, and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is." Trump ain't gonna scratch, won't be dancing, and he won't be told what narrative he is supposed to accept. Both Trump and Harris, were invited to The National Association of Black Journalists. Trump accepted, Kamala declined, which was a shame. It would be entertaining watching ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott gushing over Kamala, while she (Rachel), is attacking Trump. Does anyone believe Rachel, would have address Kamala's failure on the borders? or her poor performance as San Francisco Prosecutor, or State Attorney General? or her performance during the "Peaceful Protests" in the summer of 2020? Her tie-breaking votes in the Senate, especially on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which contributed to the Harris-Biden's inflation (they both own it). During the Biden-Trump June 27th debate, Biden was blaming Trump for the inflation, due to the Trump's administration's spending. If Biden/Harris really believe Trump's spending caused the inflation, did they not realize their spending was going to accelerate the problem exponentially? ballotpedia.org/Tie-breaking_votes_cast_by_vice_presidents_in_the_Senate |

YOu can substitute Rachel for any member of the dem media and the answer is still HELL NO |

Additionally, the claim that many black journalists, voice disapproval of the Trump's invitation to their group gathering is a bit disingenuous.
The AP failed to define "many". Nearly 3,700 journalists have signed up to attend The National Association of Black Journalists, and the numbers were expecting to trend upward. In the 3,700, how many actually voice disapproval? A loud, vocal group of 20 individuals can sound like "MANY". In congress, there are 435 members, but the SQUAD, whose 9 membership is dwindling, garnished more media attention than the 426 members. The noise the SQUAD makes, the media writes as if they're representing many in congress, which we know isn't true.
Also in the 3,700 journalists, similar to the general population, they have their share of the silent majority.

She's going to run the Biden in the Basement campaign, and only give prescripted interviews to "friendly" media talking heads like the one who tried to knee-cap Trump. |

Expect more threads like this. Some little episode jimmied up by the media is proposed as the beginning of a "meltdown." Yet, it becomes another forgotten trivia piece lost in the relentless churn of the news cycle. There is no meltdown, nor will there be, at least on the Trump side. Look, this extended honeymoon period for Kamala perpetuated by the Democrat-media complex can only last for so long. Eventually, Kamala will have to make public appearances without a script, without a teleprompter, and unguarded by handlers. You know they fear this, but it's inevitable. The meltdown will occur when Kamala has her Biden-disastrous-debate moment when the whole world gets reminded that she's a babbling idiot. Is there time to replace her with someone else?

There is plenty of time for voters to discover that Harris and Walz are dyed in the wool far left Prog's. All OMB needs to do is get his ego under control and let Harris/Walz attempt to defend their records.
