I am compelled to ask: Assuming Biden is re-elected and subsequently becomes totally incapacitated, are you guys content with Kamala Harris as POTUS?


Brief answer: No

I am not all that prepared to answer a lot of questions about Kamala Harris, just as I have seldom been prepared to answer questions about any vice-president in previous admiinistrations.I could do some research and have a more informed opinion, but I expect that my answer then would be a better informed No.

Not my top choice, but I certainly don't consider her grossly unqualified unlike, say, Trump

Just for the sake of argument: You say that Trump is "grossly unqualified". Exactly what do you see in Harris that makes her more qualified?

I logged on intending to edit my respone, but hrothgar already included my planned edit. I much prefer Kammala Harris to Donald Trump. I prefer anyone or maybe anything to Donald Trump. Kamala Harris has her limits,we all do, but she is not a self-centerd rager bent on lies and revenge. Trump is.

If Biden stays on the ticket it seems clear he will lose, so the question about Harris having to take over from Biden halfway through his second term is pretty specuulative. But if it goes that way, Harris it is. .Not Trump.

Added: Here is my favorite story about vice-presidents althought I cannot vouch for its accuracy. I voted for the first time in 1960, Kennedy versus Nixon. I heard that some reporter asked Eisenhower to list some good things Nixon had done while serving as Ike's Veep. Ike told the reported to come back in a wek or so, Ike was sure he would by then be able to come up with something.

Convicted Felon Trump is not just grossly unqualified, he is a danger to democracy and the republic. Convicted Felon Trump is a sociopath with dementia, who thinks he is above the law on his good days, and who thinks he is actually a god on his bad days. Is anybody potentially a worse president than Convicted Felon Trump? Hmmm, I'll have to get back to you about that.

My sister's cat is more qualified than Trump. And my sister's cat isn't even American.

Your sister's cat should be careful or Trump will try and grab her.

She hasn't engaged in a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US government
She hasn't raped anyone
She's not banned from operating charities because she stole money from cancer patients
She didn't run a fraudulent university
She didn't run an organization that was fined hundreds of millions of dollars for fraud
She's not under multiple criminal indictments
She hasn't been convicted of 34 felonies

I have issues with Harris.

She was my top choice going into the 202o Democratic primaries, but she ran an atrocious campaign
I don't like a bunch of her actions as Attorney General in CA

Balanced against this, she was a damn effective Senator

But suggesting that she is anything like Trump is asinine.

FWIW, I have no doubt that you're nothing more a troll
The fact that, this is, you know a bridge discussion forum and your only contributions is trolling a politic thread is a dead give away.

Please, show a little more love for your craft...
Spend some time talking about bridge, build up some credibility, THEN start the political trolling

What you're doing here is sad and lazy
