Hillary Rodham Clinton
The 2016 nominee wants to help the 2024 candidate.

A former Democratic presidential candidate will be making the case for the current one, trying to mobilize voters in a key media market on Saturday.

Hillary Clinton will be in Tampa at 10:30 a.m. on behalf of Kamala Harris, the Democratic campaign announced. More details will follow.

Clinton will be speaking later that day at the Straz Center, where she will be “discussing her newest book, “Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, & Liberty.”

“At each event, Secretary Clinton and a moderator will take the audience on a journey of unvarnished exchanges on politics, democracy, the threats we face, as well as friendship, aging, marriage, and how we can all work together to shape a future to be proud of,” the event page promises.

Clinton, the former First Lady, Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York, endorsed Harris earlier this year.

“Kamala cares about kids, families and cares about America. Donald only cares about himself. On her first day in court, Kamala said five words that still guide her: ‘Kamala Harris, for the people.’ That’s something Donald Trump will never understand.”

While Democrats are dominating early voting in Hillsborough County, Republicans lead overall by nearly 668,000 votes through the end of Tuesday’s electoral action.

    “That’s something Donald Trump will never understand.”

    Well, his supporters understand it, and so day after day they turn out by the tens of thousands to cheer for him, far more than will take a step out of their way for Kamala, and most certainly for Hillary.

    This election has become a referendum on Trump, and when he wins next Tuesday, Democrats from the Atlantic to the Pacific are going to have to face the fact that they turned themselves, their party and the American way of life inside out because they were deluded by their self-induced fright over the loss of their power.

      The critical bit most Trump supporters do not realize about “for the people” is that he’s lying to them. Again. And they’re falling for it. Again. They keep falling for it. Every. Single. Time.

      If God’s good graces are again with the USA and Trump loses yet again, when he runs again in 4 more years, will all y’all fall for his nonsense once again?

      Fool me once. Fool me twice. Fool me thrice. Fool me four times? There’s not even a saying for people who get fooled that many times. Quadrafooled, perhaps?

      A new study by the Cato Institute on DJT and immigration:
      !) On his fourth day in office, Trump signed an executive order rescinding Obama-era policies that prioritized the detention and removal of serious public safety threats;
      2) Within a few months, his administration was secretly separating families, using prosecutorial resources to jail migrant parents and focusing resources on visa overstays, not serious criminals;
      3) During the height of family separation, Trump deprioritized prosecuting migrants with criminal histories to instead spend resources on separating families;
      4) While Trump poured resources into detaining asylum seekers, he also released nearly 58,184 noncitizens with criminal records, including 8,620 violent criminals and 306 murderers.

        Bad Bunny, Beyonce and Taylor Swift are not my cup of tea but too the millions of millennials of voting age, they are very relevant especially when the election is predicted to be close. Women may well be the deciders this time around. We might all be surprised.

      So why lie and claim Taylor Swift’s endorsement when VP Harris is the person Swift endorsed? Do tell! And then why stamp your feet and scrunch up your face and yell in all caps that you hate Taylor Swift? Dyin’ to know over here.

      I have to draw the line at stigmatizing Buzz, but no mention of this in the NY Post story — and the Post occasionally gets stuff like this right.

        Folks believe all the MAGA conspiracy theories but at the same time believe the moon landing was real.

        Inconsistency is proven once again to MAGAlandia’s only constant.

      Two things: First, Biden is not running, Second, that’s not exactly what he said.

      “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden said on X. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

      If you listened to the Harris rally, she welcomed all people, and promised people don’t agree a place at the table. At no point in her campaign has she demeaned any group of eople, unlike her opponent.
