Trump is old and tired and wants to spend time on the golf greens. He doesn't have the capacity to campaign full time. Harris has spent nearly four years as understudy to one of our finest Presidents. She is smart and very capable of rising to the moment. She's allowed to be herself this go round. She won a very tight race for AG in California and is no slouch on the campaign trail (as we've already seen). Women are doubly excited both due to the aftermath of Dobbs and the memories of 2016. JD Vance only clarifies the disdain that MAGA and today's GOP have for women.

I also think the short campaign benefits Harris....it's how all our federal campaigns should be handled....this two plus year saga is ridiculous...merely content for "reality show" news that plagues our airwaves these days. Do as Canada does and limit campaign season to " 37 to 51 days." How glorious that would be.

I agree with you, except our campaigns are 4 years long, not 2. They start at inauguration. There isn’t even time for governing. That’s why Congress is stagnant. All they do is dial for dollars.

Think of what else all that money could buy!

And cap the amount of money that can be contributed and spent on a campaign. Before Citizens United there were some limits, but money is free speech, dontcha know.

Agree wholeheartedly esp. with short campaign (if only all of them could be this length).

Concur, four or six month campaigns would be plenty.

Given the number of Harris campaign events and speaking engagements in just the last five days, the Harris campaign seems pretty well-planned out in advance.

Also showing what ENERGIZED feels like. Trump ain't got it. Vance ain't got it.
