'They've been caught flat-footed': GOP shifts 2024 strategy 

I live in rural southern Arkansas. I don’t talk politics with my neighbors. If I see a television playing anywhere it’s not tuned to MSNBC. But even isolated out here I can feel the energy. It’s remarkable, and very exciting, and Kamala Harris is part of why it’s happening. I recently was congratulating a Mexican friend on the wonderful enlightened election result his country was enjoying, and lamenting at how our country seemed to be headed backward. Today he called me to discuss the new possibility of something just as fantastic happening here. What an incredible turn of events.

JD Vance has no convictions but his running mate has 34, is the best line I’ve heard so far & should be a National slogan

She needs to attach his lies front and center, to his face and expose him as a liar. No one has ever done that, never.

They can’t abort JD Vence now, they must carry him to term.

Trump's BIGGEST grievance against Biden announcing that he will decline the party nomination and recommend Kamala Harris is that NOBODY is TALKING about him in the media anymore. What about my ear tampon...he shouts!

I sick of the people with money paying no taxes and picking our candidates

I love that Kamala, at 59, is being called young. She's 3 years older than me; I feel positively sprightly 😊

@0:45 Stephanie's ear to ear grin says it all. Renewed excitement. My how things can change in just a few short hours.

I hope Rep Tim Ryan will run for the Senate again for Ohio. Now that JD Vance is gone. And I wish Mr Ryan will win this time. 🙏

Enthusiasm! What a difference a day makes. I would say, in the chess game of politics, Joe Biden has effectively moved his Queen into an attacking position.

So the Dems waited until the GOP had their VP and then switched everything up after the GOP convention. It is absolutely the best scenario ever. Harris gets to have the last move with her VP pick. If any of this was intentionally timed, it was brilliant

A party that has Trump as the nominee and they say Harris isn`t qualified.... what a clown show!!!

I love that they did it after the RNC, perfect timing. Vance looks pathetic and is now hooked up to a loser. Wind out of their sales, all they have is insults

Let’s go! I respect President Biden. But I am so elated to see this new change so we can continue the fight to preserve our Democracy and our country. Protect this country from this hostile takeover, toxicity and prevent Project Hate 2025.

Absolutely no idea why any woman in US would vote for JD Vance.

Flat footed??? No, it's bone spurs...

Nice to see Tim Ryan again! A man with class!🇺🇸

Even Nikki Haley's Voters PAC is supporting Harris. Gotta love it.

Give me a candidate that laughs heartily over one that is laughed heartily at! 💙💙💙💙

Those who laught last, laugh the best...keep laughting Kamala, it makes me smile😇💖🙏🏻😉

I love Kamala's ability to laugh and be happy in her disposition but most of all I love that she is laughing at what GOP people say because the nonsense they espouse is hilarious at best and disturbing at its worst. Her face lights up when she laughs. Trump just has that smirk he puts on, like its disingenuous. Awful man v Beautiful woman. Go Kamala you are going to win the election.

VP Harris has energized the nation

Let's make history!

Watching a few of Ms Harris speeches and work on Government committees, she comes across as a terrier dog, she takes no prisoners, exactly the person to gnaw away at Trump's achilles heel (the part of the head of a golf club nearest the shaft.) She is a very impressive woman.

DONALD TRUMP AT 78, IS THE OLDEST NOMINEE OF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES TO EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT. WHO'S THE OLD GEEZER NOW?

I predict Donnie will fire Vance ... and claim that he never knew him ... didn't know him well ... he only met him once, maybe.

Just noticed; they put the bandage in the wrong place. It ought to be covering his mouth.

The prosecutor and the criminal.... !!!

So excited to have VP Harris step into the candidate for POTUS position and free President Biden up to finish his Presidential legacy. Voting Blue in November with pleasure! Feeling the Energy!

You shouldn't keep all your eggs in one deplorable basket.

My wife and I are independents and are both all in for Kamala Harris!

👀 looks like Ohio is going BLUE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Without Treasonous Insults And Violent Threats, what does the GQP have to run on ??

I am a still a Biden supporter and because I have the greatest respect for him, if he endorses Ms. Harris then I’m all in. He would only do this if he truly felt she was best for the country.

The final Chapter of the Dark Brandon series was epic.

Great last point especially from Basil! (BLACK IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER!!)

Harris’ laughter is so refreshing! It sure beats a scowl!

Remind me again what exactly were Trump's qualifications?

Trump For Prison 2024

They weren't just caught "flat-footed" - they were caught with their pants down around their ankles... and even "Gym" Jordan can't ignore that!

Trump : "we gotta start all over again". Awwe, you don't know how to shift focus and solve problems on the spot. Maybe you're not up for the job. Afraid to go up against a woman ? A prosecutor? Looks like it'll be a blue landslide. 💙

Thank you, Joe Biden, for your service to our nation. When you do the right thing, it all works out in the end

The groundswell is more massive than anything previously imagined, im even seeing it at my workplace. Once Kamala Harris gets that nomination, trump is toast, im talkin burnt.

Now, Trump is the OLDEST candidate! The Dems should hammer that fact every day, a “dirty” OLD man!

I hadn't realized how muted my excitement was until this switch. I love Joe Biden and believe he'll be regarded in an FDR light by historians in the future, but this is a good change. Sent in my money and signed up for a monthly contribution.

How she dresses, how she laughs? Could they get anymore petty and immature? What am I saying, of course they can.

Republicans got punked by the GOAT and so did the national media

"Pushing Donald Trump back on his heels" is especially tough for him because of the lifts he wears. He's most comfortable leaning forward at a 60 degree angle.

Take the fight to Trump, close and personal. No politeness, no dancing around. Call a spade a spade.

And Kamala Harris, is going to speak truth to power from a very aware place as a Black, Indian, person with a uterus who is also a child of immigrants. There is a lot of work to do to unify this country and a lot of knowledge at the helm…

Why weren’t these black men and women calling in the first place. Then Biden wouldn’t have been forced out!!

Mark Kelly would be a great VP.

I haven't seen Trump in a few days. Is he still wearing the tiny my pillow?

Well, I’m not black, but I’m on track with Kamala Harris(and I’m proud to be) and whoever who her running mate is👍😊

If you are still undecided, you are clearly not paying attention and deserve to live under a dictatorship. Zero tolerance for these people

How can anyone say she is not qualify? What make them think the OLD ORANGE CONVICT is qualified?

She will run rings around them, in heels no less! 💃🏻🗽🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

It's kinda funny to wonder this was the plan all along, if that turns out to be the case, it's definitely the best political chess move in a long time (and also one of the tightest secrets ever held).

Trump is too old he must drop out now

Good luck defending your democracy 🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇪🇺

Dump trump. Do Blue !!

Will the 🍊 guy say this is not a black job? She is the new sheriff in town. Vote blue 💙 not orange 🍊.

Basil is so great at giving information. His analysis is always spot on.

We are going to WIN IN 2024!! People, DO NOT FORGET, in order for RvW to become law, we NEED, NEED 60 IN THE SENATE TO BYPASS THE FILLIBUSTER!!! We need 2/3rds, not just 3 people, we need HIGHER than we have now.. Please, please remember that!!

I’m ready to defend her. Let’s freaking go!!!

Young people, women unite!, excitement, hope for America's future. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!! We need to retire Trump. PROJECT 2025 is NOT the future we want!

Can we imagine what it's like being a Republican right now? Knowing that Dark Brandon wove this massive voodoo on you when here you were making fun of him? What a time to be a Democrat.

Hey GOP, how's it feel having the 'old guy' as your nominee?!

It is so refreshing to see Republicans take a stand on the right side of history....shows not all is lost, The Lincoln Project is an example of that.

love Kamala Harris Vote💙💙💙💙

Just how long is trump going to wear that piece of cardboard on his ear?

That pic of Trooomph with his ear bandaged needs to used at every available opportunity from now until doomsday. He is never going to look more ridiculous. I also think waiting for the VP announcement to percolate a week before Biden’s stepping down was pitch perfect.

Harris will easily add 5-10% in the polls if this enthusiasm holds. Trump is already at his ceiling.

Little JD grew a beard to look all grown up like his BFFs Don Jr and Eric….

Interesting. I was in an abusive marriage and met with a counselor for a while because I was conflicted about divorce and the effect on my kids. The counselor convinced me that staying in the marriage would be more harmful to the kids, so JD, concentrate on whatever it is that you're knowledgeable about and stay out of this!

It has given the Dems a shot in the dark. Thank you, President Biden. You're the best! ❤

I’m sorry, but if you were caught flat-footed by this announcement, when it was the most telegraphed move in political history, that’s one more reason you shouldn’t be running the country.

This is the best version of Biden yet, president Biden is as sharp as ever!!! Never been better!😭

LETSGOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first female POTUS this is good news finally

“They’ve been caught bone spur footed.” I fixed the title 😊

JD Vance will turn out to be the epitome of buyers remorse for the MAGA clan.

Trump must be regretting that fake bandage… makes him look weak and weird.

Who will you vote for, America? The prosecutor or the defendant? Think about it please, be wise! ...

Biden chose country over political power, that’s emblematic of his lifelong service to the people, his leadership and his patriotism. Harris 2024

Dems & Reps said they wanted a younger person. You got what you wanted. That is democracy in action.

EVERY woman in America should vote for Kamala--it's time to "put a woman in charge."

How long is he going to parade that tea bag?

Timing is everything.

Karma Kamala is coming for you!

HARRIS 2024 Vote Blue 💙 not Orange 🍊

I voted for Joe Biden so Kamala Harris would one day be President.

It's all about racism and misogyny. It's always been all about racism and misogymy. Let's go. Call em out. We got this.

One thing's for certain, the GOP became too arrogant from everything that's going on and believed to have an edge with biden's terrible debate and the attempted assassination. Biden made the best move to step down, and just gives the democratic party a comeback with their now younger and healthier nominee.

Weak on women and Putin is very accurate 🙏

It would be so funny to see Trump firing J D Vance because he is now a liability 😂😂😂😂😂

So excited for Kamala ! Let's go!

President Harris will "Make America A Better Place"....

First - Thank You President Biden !! - you have been a great leader and will be remembered as one of the greatest president in history! I listen to all possible candidates - and the question is - does it matter ? Let’s all unify behind whoever and look deep into our souls and save our country and our democracy ! Looking through my tears, toward the future of the next generations, trying to erase the most pessimistic outcome, I remain optimistic and hopeful, that from all this pain, somebody can raise and continue what Biden administration has started. There is a path and we should all embrace it and not sell our souls - that’s all we have, and that’s all will be left when we will leave this world - our souls and our legacy! Let’s not sell our souls for money and fame! What JD Vance forgot to mention in his speech - is that he was a real human before selling his soul. He was a good men, and, I believe, deep down, he still is, and he knows it. One day ( maybe when he will be President Biden age, or hopefully before) , he will realize that he sold his soul and his personal beliefs, in exchange for fame and money. We are a good country with good people, hard working people and we all want to keep our country going in the right direction. On the days to come, we need to speak to the soul of America, we need to speak about the lost lives that fought for us to be where we are today, to the hard working people that come from everywhere in the world, with hopes and dreams for a better future, we need to speak to the black people that stood up for the right to vote and equality, as well as to the women that fought for their right to vote, for their rights to make decisions about their own bodies and for equality in the work place, we need to talk about all immigrants that brought their ideas and courage to implement better things in America, versus what they experienced in their native countries, to the veterans and all the military men and women that stood up and defended our country every time they were called to duty, we need to talk about the old people that accumulated a life experience and are wiser and more experienced to guide us today, we need to talk about our future generations to come, that will continue to live and die here and, they deserve a brighter future, about the doctors who save lives everyday, about the teachers and mothers who are bringing up the next generations to come , we need to speak to the farmers that feed this country and all the other workers that keep this country moving , we need to speak to the soul of America! then and only then we will reach, touch, and melt this iceberg that is forming, than and only than we will go back to normal and get unified! It’s not impossible - let’s lead the beautiful people of America to open their hearts, become more humble, and look ahead for a better, more unified, and brighter America! Respectfully, A voice from within millions of Americans, who believes everything is possible !

Trump would NEVER be a Caesar more like a Caligula!

Thanks ! You guys !
