Frankly both parties took/are taking a huge risks running older candidates out there. Trump is no spring chicken. He seems to have all his marbles (although some may have been missing from the start), but health issues happen unfortunately at advanced ages. Biden was failing for some time and the Dem leadership did nothing to stop it until it was too late. Lots of finger pointing going on and lots of bad decisions were made. Kamala never even won one delegate the last time she ran - that was telling. They chose the warchest over doing the right thing. Before that, they chose Biden and before that Hillary and had to pay millions in back door money to Bernie to bow out both times. The democratic process has not been followed in 3 elections by the Dems, why would they follow it this time around?

Surprising Reference

Powell has got a sketchy past between his family issues and then the issues with the school. The fact he was throwing up gang signs all the time was a bit off putting but as a player one of my favorites to watch.

I think deep down he is a good kid though just a product of his environment. Being in China and with age hopefully he has matured.

I would love for Seton Hall to embrace him again as he made some of the greatest moments in recent SHU history.

Given the timing of when he dropped (was forced) out, the democrats were really left with no choice but to nominate Harris. There was a fair amount of pushback because she skipped the democratic process. It would have been far worse if they just picked someone else.

I’m glad they stuck with Harris in that sense. I wouldn’t be shocked if Obama and Pelosi didn’t want her, but I’d be shocked if they thought there was a path to install someone else.

The reality is that she was just a REALLY bad candidate. Obama and Pelosi likely knew that, but it was too late.

They may not have come up with a better candidate or one that would’ve beaten Trump, but not only did they ride a horrible candidate, but they damage the credibility of the party by not following any kind of nomination process with delegates. I’m sure Obama and Pelosi were already pissed at Biden for putting the party in that position.

And let’s face it, Biden was too selfish and should’ve never run for the second term. And then he stays in too long to prevent any potential candidate from getting the time and momentum.

Trump Laying Down The Law On Border

Tariffs represent a dangerous game that will be hard to get right as the media is going to jump all over price increases without giving air time to any positives coming from them. I don't quite get the Canada tariff threat, but the oil point is a non-issue given I expect us to become a net exporter of oil again under Trump. I do understand Mexico more although there is a fair amount of Mexico manufacturing that then becomes American assembly jobs so he'll have to be careful there.

Like anything, the devil will be in the details. I believe automobiles are Mexico‘s number one export with a US being its largest destination. If you use that example, if the prices on those automobiles rises, consumers may choose other brands and options. Like I think there’s a large EV manufacturer that produces all of its vehicles in the US.

It's a shame that people don't realize that US oil production is the highest it has ever been, and we've been exporting far more than we import.

Because there isn't much positive news associated with tariffs unless we are doing it to prevent a country from sending cheap goods which will disrupt an industry in the US.

If Canada found a gigantic supply of easily obtainable oil and started dumping really cheap oil in the US, the US oil companies could not compete. It would then make more sense for US refining companies to only buy the cheap Canadian oil, so the US would have to place a tariff on Canadian imports so the US oil companies could compete again. That would make sense.

Tariffs for any other reason do not make any sense.
