Who gives a f***! If Biden wins and the Democrats control Congress, they better not avoid making “controversial” decisions in the vain hope that the Republicans will be constructive. Obama introduced the Affordable Care Act over total opposition from the Republicans. Try as they might, the Republicans haven’t been able to kill it even with total control of the White House & Congress. It remains popular and the Republicans know the genie is out of the bottle.

If Obama had wimped out, he would have achieved nothing. Even if the Democrats only have 2 years to make some changes, they should go hard. Don’t let the conservatives veto everything.

Why are most of Americans presidentential candidates old and senile? 

My sisters father in law at their age drive a car into a stationary fence and didn't even realise he had clipped it. 

My mum's 69 and she is starting to become forgetful and has more health issues than ever before.

Kamala is the real candidate.  If Joe wins she will take over in short order.

You're right, Fluffy One, this is a very real possibility.

I don't know much about Kamala but I do know enough about the other 3 -- Trump/Biden/Pence -- to suggest that none of them is up to the Presidency. In fact I wouldn't put any of them in charge of a chook raffle.

Read somewhere that she does not have the voter appeal to be the Prez candidate, in fact is disliked by too many people. By contrast Joe can be presented as a decent old guy and a safe pair of hands, if you'll forgive the expression.

There’s mandatory retirement for many judges at 72 in Australia. I suppose it would be more difficult to tell oldies they can’t run for office, but the US Senate has a helluva lot of old guys and you wonder how active they are. Old guys dying in office isn’t rare over there.

She has 3 strikes against her: she’s a woman, Black & Asian. That means at least a third of the population is against her. At least Tiger Woods is a bloke! Heads will explode if in 2004 it’s Harris v Nikki Haley.

Having said that, Harris’ accent annoys me but I presume it’s just the accent of the place in which she grew up. It also reminds me of some cartoon character, maybe the wife on Family Guy? The other thing that annoys is a tendency to act as if she’s about to say something earth-shattering with a bit of posturing and a long pause. But if she does get the big job and does well, I can live with that.

Understand that she's not too popular with black males.

Some believe her work as a DA would put off younger black men as might anyone who’d been a cop or prosecutor. Is that just the right-wing echo chamber hoping to make it a thing or is it a real issue? Who knows ...

Was she just doing her job as a prosecutor (working in a system that was probably loaded against blacks) or did she cross lines? I haven’t read anything that might answer that question.

Her work as a prosecutor may also comfort more centrist voters. It also creates a problem for the GOP: can she be both a BLM revolutionary and too tough on blacks? No doubt the hope is that they can use targetted advertising on social media to paint her as the former to white people and the latter to black men.

Yep, easy for the media to paint people - even orange!

I thought it was Trump who painted himself orange.
