As I listen and watch the news regarding Presidential candidate Harris you have to wonder if you will be better off, or will it be a continuing decline for everyday Americans as it has been over the past 3 plus years. Some areas of concern to me are the following: 1. Harris's statement about "FRACKING" vs her values on climate change. *Which is it, "save the planet" or sway Pennsylvania miners to vote for her? You can't have it both ways! The attack on the oil industry and promoting green initiatives have caused this inflation we are experiencing. -Funny how liberals have not objected to this reversal on fracking. Why, because she has no intention of honoring it! 2. Attempts by her and the Democrats to remove 3rd party candidates running for President. *Specifically, attempted to remove Presidential liberal candidate Cornell West from the Michigan ballot in the upcoming elections. SO MUCH FOR DEMOCRACY! Sounds like a "THREAT TO DEMOCRACY" in my opinion... 3. Harris's claim she is tough on the border. Really! Harris was placed in charge of the border crisis under Biden and the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border have escalated out of control. *Harris claims that she was not the BORDER CSAR are just not true. Just view the tapes of mainstream media outlets like CNN and MSNBC anointing her with that "same title." 4. Her disrespect for the military and our ally Israel. Does one really think she can effectively negotiate with leaders like Putin (Russia) and Xi (China). *Disrespecting the 13 soldiers of Gold Star Families. Harris never reached out to those Gold Star families to acknowledge their deaths and properly pay her respects for their service to our country. If you're running for President, you're also the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces too. -How about showing the same courage those soldiers did in defending our country and take responsibility for your administration's blunder, own up to it, take the heat, and attend their funeral. *And not showing up for the speech delivered by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Congress. -As Woody Allen famously said, "80% of success is showing up." Well Kamala, maybe not that much, but it could have helped your image with the military and on the foreign stage. What a "distasteful display of leadership." *** So, what we have running for president would be described as A FLIP FLOPPER, DISRESPECTFUL, CONNIVING, NON-SENSICAL, WEAK, SCARED, GIGGLING, INEXPERIENCED, NOT GENUINE, and COMMUNIST LEANING candidate. These are the adjectives I would use to describe Harris. - Now leaders have flaws, but Harris just has too many to overlook when she is running for the most important position in our country. Which brings me to my final thought...are these the qualities you want to vote for in a President who will govern our country? I say "NO," Harris has shown she would be unqualified to serve as our President.

No thank you since our enemies will see America as weak nation if Kamala Harris is elected President.

Yes, we are already seen as weak around the world especially with Russia, China, N. Korea, and Iran. I just can't picture Kamala Harris sitting down to seriously talk with Putin or Xi without breaking out in laughter.

@dgobucks226 One reason I refer to Kamala as living proof that D C Universe character Duela Dent alias Harlequin had children.

I think that there is no communist party in the US. I even doubt that there is one in Russia.

You are mistaken. There have been communist ideals and party affiliations in the U.S. for many decades. Our current leaders are moving in this dangerous direction. Suppression of ideas on social media through intimidation, cancelling and violence is a form of communism. A free society allows all citizens to protest their views, not just one side. I would cite more, but I see you are going to believe what you want to believe no matter how many facts I present. Have a great day!

She only has what it takes as she has the back up. There will be nothing recognizable of this country soon DB.

Fact: bite me for the truth. Harris is not a convicted felon.

What does that have to do with this discussion?

A victim of TDS. I didn't believe it was a disease until reading your responses... When you cast your vote, it should be for the policies and style of government you want not based solely on someone's personality. Although, the rate of turnover of Harris's aides tells you just as much about hers as Trumps. Your weak response to this post says a lot about your grasp of the issues and more about your intellectual capacity to understand them.
