Both Vice President Harris and the Malignant Loser were in battleground Nevada yesterday at rallies miles apart both in distance and in mood:
The events offered a tight focus on the contrast at the heart of next week’s election. Harris’s rally was a joyful affair, with mothers carrying infants on their shoulders, some supporters and volunteers sporting Halloween costumes and star turns by Mexican band Maná and Latina singer and actor Jennifer Lopez.
Trump’s gaudy pageant warmed up with the sound of Elvis warbling about Dixieland and James Brown’s It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World. His crowd sported Make America great again caps and other regalia, cheered his demonisation of immigrants, jeered the “fake news” media and broke into chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” [snip]
Harris’s rally was staged in a park in the open air against the backdrop of a “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign and attracted a diverse mix across age and race, including young families. There were chants of “We’re not going back!” Among the speakers was congresswoman Susie Lee, who observed: “I’ve seen some scary costumes today but none of them come close to how scary a Donald Trump presidency would be.” [snip]
Earlier, the mood at Trump’s rally at an ice hockey stadium in Henderson, just outside Las Vegas, was less charitable. Warm-up speakers included far-right Florida congressman Matt Gaetz and Nevada Republican chair Michael Mcdonald, who mocked Harris’s laugh and derided Democrats as “beta males”, claiming “We’re alpha males”[snip]
Trump hurled insults at Harris, saying she lacked “intellect” or “stamina”, and was a “train wreck” and incapable of running a kindergarten. “I’ve worked for 62 days in a row – I haven’t take a day off,” he said, before claiming of Harris: “She’s exhausted. She’s finished.”
He heaped praise on his billionaire backer Elon Musk, stating: “In terms of computer, I would say he’s probably about as good as you get.” And in a bizarre riff against Democrats, Trump said: “They don’t want windows. They don’t want cows. They don’t want anything. They don’t know what they want, actually.”..
Which candidate exudes joy and competence, and which one exudes hatred and division? Which campaign looks inclusive, and which one plays the Confederate anthem "Dixie"? Which campaign looks and sounds like its confident of victory, and which one is ginning up threats against the opponents? The clock is ticking. You are who you vote for.

And yet it's a virtual tie.
🤬🤬 Add to that Trump's comments to Tucker Carlson referring to the VPOTUS as "that sleazebag" and then saying that Liz Cheney, classic conservative, should have guns firing at her face. The blowback was answered by Trump's campaign co-chair, Karoline Leavitt, with this ridiculous ""Truth" Social post: Trump was "clearly explaining that warmongers like Liz Cheney are very quick to start wars and send other Americans to fight them, rather than go into combat themselves.” Sure, Trump called her a war hawk, but he was very specific about Cheney having 9 guns pointed at her face. That is not a war scenario, that is a firing squad and a call for volunteers to be on it!! And, trashing anyone about not wanting to go into combat is hysterical when defending President Bone-Spurs!! 🙄 🤣
