Vice President Harris boasts a 13-point lead over former President Trump among women voters in a new poll, a notable edge with a major voting bloc that could be critical for her ticket in November.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken this week found 51 percent of women who are registered voters said they support Harris, while 38 percent backed her Republican rival. On the other hand, Trump, who has struggled with women voters, saw a 7-point lead among men.

    In 2016 Trump was an untested leader and Republicans had been spewing propaganda against Hillary for two decades.

    Not to mention 8 years of resentment from people who watched the '08 primaries, and she decided to top up the resentment in the '16 primaries.

    Harris isn’t going out of her way to piss off the left like Clinton did. And she has the sense to campaign in swing states.

      Same propaganda.

      Your resentment comes from a primary process and series of candidates that isn’t really any different from any primary that occurred in the last half century.

      Yet you are specifically wounded from that one?

      The divisive propaganda spewed in that election was also about Hillary controlling the DNC as much as she controlled a pedo ring.

      They wanted to sow division within as well and I hate to break it to you but it’s not like this story hinges on Hillary and her presence…

        Clinton’s cult is completely incapable of even thinking that she was capable of earning the loss she earned.

          You assign a “cult” why?

          Obama once said his campaign needed a billion dollars to win the presidency. No one thought twice in that statement.

          So she has a cult? Why?

            You’re readin’ more into my comment than I said. Go back and try again after ditching your assumptions.

                Read my initial comment without your hackles up. Then read how you responded. That’s part of it.

                But if you would like another example to dismiss in bad faith, consider PUMA PAC. Clinton’s supporters were so upset that she lost the '08 primaries that they formed a PAC to get McCain elected out of spite.

                  Ok full stop…

                  “Hackles” is awesome. I’m gonna dig into hackles… sorry it’s mine now…

                  But really you complain that a PAC was formed?

                  Like given the Supreme Court decisions would you prefer dems not make pacs and just fold?

                  What’s the alternative? Dems make a PAC and become evil or the Supreme Court rules pacs rule and you now post how dems rolled over and did nothing?

                    They formed a PAC with the express purpose of electing McCain.

                    And yes, use hackles all you want. I’d love to see it enter common usage.
