I'm not surprised. People look out for their own kind. Many in the GOP are looking out for Trump and hating Harris because Trump is GOP and Harris is not.

Harris is hard to like but she seems strong and she is sharp. I'm overcoming my initial dislike of her and enjoying her ability to stand up for herself and to not be bullied. Even though her ideas fall too far to the left, there are plenty of moderate Democrats and Republicans so that she won't be able to put wild ideas into being. She is strong sounding and has leadership qualities. She does come across as too strong and far to the left but those ideas will be tempered by the other politicians. I'm starting to think she would be a good leader, which is what we need, and she could replace Biden if it comes to that. But Biden is moderate and as long as he is president, it's what we need since we have drifted too far to the right. We just have to be careful now to not compensate by going too far to the left.

You can say that for just about any candidate.

You act as though Trump has never been criticized for what he has said and how he has said it. You act as though he has never been called out, mocked, and ridiculed. Trying to turn this into some sort of attack on women or an example of misogyny is ludicrous. Politics can oftentimes be rough, dirty, unfair, and unforgiving. Women shouldn’t expect to be exempt from the same level of scrutiny and criticism as men are. Or are you implying that women are the weaker sex and they should be shielded from the harsh realities of the political arena?

Harris is hard to like. Very hard to like. Lets be honest. Politics is in fact a popularity contest. Being likable matters in politics. She comes across like a Pomeranian that walks around snarling and snapping at anything that moves.

The poster said Trump is atypical. And everyone knows his style, love it or hate it. That poster did not give him the same level of scrutiny. That poster then commented that "I don't make the rules." True, but we don't have to follow the rules set before us. Trump showed us that.

This had nothing to do with you.

Not quite sure what to make of this word salad other than to say that I don't see any reason that I as a Trump supporter (gasp), don't see any reason I can't call Kamala Harris an angry black woman.

I couldn't be bothered to watch the video.

Here we go again.... if you criticize Harris you’re a racist and a misogynist. Nobody is buying that **** anymore. If she can’t stand the heat.. she should drop out.

This has nothing to do with me? Are you saying I don’t have the right to comment?

I think Trump deserves a lot of criticism for his communication style and some of the things he has said and has tweeted.

You have a right to comment, not sure why you are asking me that, but it doesn't mean I will follow you down that route.

I wouldn't have responded to your last comment. I specifically responded to that other poster.
