My Dear America:
One thing is for sure. This latest Election For President Of the United States has certainly not been boring.
In the course of a month we have seen, among other things:
A Debate in which Joe Biden showed his age and Donald Trump Lied every time he opened his mouth.
But the Democrats and the Media didn't seem to care about Trumps Lies. They only seemed to care about Joe Biden's Age.
Despite Joe Biden showing in Media Interviews, an Important Press Conference and at a NATO Summit Meeting with Many World Leaders that he was still functioning Pretty Well in his Role as President of the United States, The Media and the Democrats kept on harping about his Debate Performance.
The Republicans showed in their Milwaukee Convention that they really didn't care about Donald Trump's Failed Marriages, His Close Connection with Jeffrey Epstein and Porn Stars and Playboy Models, his mocking of people with disabilities, his encouraging Trump Fans of his to ignore Covid Masks and vaccines resulting in God Knows how many thousands of deaths, his separation of Immigrant parents from their children, His Vile Disrespect of anyone who chose to criticize him. Many of Those who had run against him in the Republican Primary showed up at the Republican Convention and Praised Trump despite the fact that he shamed them and Humiliated them prior to the convention.
Actually the Republicans with a few weird exceptions seemed to be having a pretty normal group of speakers on the Convention Podium, that was until Donald Trump took the stage.
Although he sounded relatively normal for the first part of his speech accepting the Republican Presidential Nomination it didn't take him too long to go off the rails and start shit talking Democrats and ranting about "The Late Great Hannibal Lecter". Seriously, why the hell is Donald Trump continuing to talk about Hannibal Lecter as if Hannibal Lecter is a real person and not a fictional character. What is it with his Weird Obsession with Hannibal Lecter.
And Democrats were worried about the shape that Joe Biden was in.
Well, Democrats are not so worried about Joe Biden's Health anymore since he announced that he was quitting the race for President and was giving his support for the job to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
What has happened since Biden Bowed out and Harris picked up the Democratic Torch Has been nothing less than an Earthquake in the Democratic Party and in the United States Of America.
Kamala Harris has gained support from nearly every Major Democratic Donor and from Countless Small Donors to build up the Democratic War Chest to well over 200 Million Dollars in this very short time.
Unbelievable.
Support for Harris is coming from everywhere inside and even outside the Democratic Party.
Although most Democrats love Biden for what he has done for our Party and our Country he is loved even more these days for showing the Courage and Concern for our Country and our Democracy to step aside and make way for a member of a Younger Generation of Leaders.
There surely is something happening today that wasn't happening a short time ago. Democrats, Independents and even some Republicans are Fired Up and Ready to go to Support Vice President Kamala Harris for President.
Donald Trump and the Republicans are already thrown off their game by Biden passing the torch to Kamala Harris. Clearly Trump thought that he was going to have an easy time by brutally bashing Biden all the way to November.
So now Trump is flailing in his bid for the White House. He is calling Kamala Harris "Dumb" and "Low IQ"
This ridiculous claim is certainly going to come back to haunt him.
Kamala Harris is one of the smartest and most accomplished women in the United States. Anyone who has observed her, as I have, as she participated in Senate Judiciary Hearings knows that she is not Playing. Donald Trump is already dodging the prospect of Debating her because not only has she been a Killer Prosecutor, Attorney General of California and Senator from California but she has been the Biden Administration Point Person with regard to much of the Biden Administration's most difficult problems and most successful progress. And every Democrat including Joe Biden knows what an awesome Debater Kamala is.
Suffice it to say that Donald Trump calling her "Dumb" was about the dumbest thing that he could have done.
Although Trump likes to brag about how smart he is, one of his University of Pennsylvania Wharton School Professors labeled him "The Dumbest Goddam Student I ever taught".
Trump's longtime Hatchet Man who turned into a Trump Critic as a result of a couple of years in the slammer thanks to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen testified to a Congressional Committee that one of his jobs when he worked for Trump was to call the schools that Trump had attended and threaten them that they would be sued by Trump if they released any information on his grades to anyone seeking that information. Cohen was also required by Trump to contact The College Board and also threaten them with being sued by Trump if they released Trump's SAT information.
Certainly it is too early to be overconfident. But we Democrats have a reason to be energized at this point in time and we are. I have heard several commentators talk about the fact that right now it feels like it did after Obama took off like a Rocket in the 2008 Campaign and was unstoppable. But in the year 2008 Barack Obama was running against John McCain, someone on the Republican Side who was opposed to many of Obama's ideas but who was not a threat to Democracy.
At this time in the history of America we Democrats are not just running against a run of the mill Republican. Kamala Harris is running against a Man who admires Hitler and other World Dictators of the Past and Present. There is no doubt in my mind that if Kamala Harris does not win that we will lose our Democracy.
Although Donald Trump certainly lies a lot I think he is telling us the truth when he tells us that after he wins this election that he will arrange it so we will not need to vote again in four years or ever again.
Personally, I'm OK with voting every Four years for President, Every Six years for Senator and Every 2 years for Congress People.
I'm OK with voting, Period.
And in this Exceptionally Important Election I'm More than Okay with voting for Kamala Harris, one of the most qualified individuals that has ever run for office.
After observing the recent Political Earthquake roaring through America I am trying not to be over confident but I am at least somewhat confident that right now in America We have a decent chance to save our Democracy from The man who would be Dictator on Day One, and every day thereafter.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
