Kamala compares Trump to a puffy fish

Kamala Harris Hilariously Compares Trump To 'A Puffy Fish' http://dlvr.it/RBnFsp

@KamalaHarris was on the money when she said @realDonaldTrump “reminds me of a puffy fish”. But Dr Suess saw this clown coming in 1937.

....at him.

Trump is a bully and you have to handle bully's this way. The funny thing is that he probably is freaking out at this comparison (puffy, swells because he is scared, prickly etc.)

I dare him to call Kamala by some nickname (which you know he is dying to do)....

Whatever he does however, will backfire...

2. Clever. Here's some of what Biden had to say about Trump in Iowa after El Paso mass murder:

Snip————————————————

Biden also contrasted Trump to presidents who stood up at key moments in history (e.g., George H.W. Bush turning in his NRA membership, Bill Clinton’s speech after the Oklahoma City bombing, George W. Bush’s mosque visit after 9/11, Barack Obama’s sermon after the Charleston, S.C.,. massacre). Now, Biden argued, “Our president who has aligned himself with the darkest forces in this nation. And it makes winning the battle for the soul of this nation that much tougher, harder.”


Biden made the case that Trump fundamentally doesn’t understand the job. “Trump offers no moral leadership; seems to have no interest in unifying this nation, no evidence the presidency has awakened his conscience in the least,” he said. “Indeed we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy of hate, racism and division.”

Biden then called on the country to take up the challenge and do what Trump can’t. “Stand together. Stand against hate. ... Treating everyone with respect. Giving everyone a fair shot. Leaving nobody behind. Giving hate no safe harbor.”

Biden closed by reminding us that greatness stems from the conviction “America is an idea” — not great because we have the biggest economy or military or because we “win.” The essence of America is its creed. Ironically (or tragically), this is how conservatives used to talk, before they became yes-men for Trump or argued that his defacing democracy was tolerable because of judges or tax cuts.
Biden told voters: “Everyone knows who Donald Trump is. We need to show them who we are. We choose hope over fear. Science over fiction. Unity over division. And, yes — truth over lies.”

Not witty. Not clever. Some say Biden can’t inspire. I’d say they aren’t listening.
