    I never said anything about trump intelligence, but I dont see her at particularly smart. Smart people would be someone like Vivek or Elizebeth Warren, Harris is not in their league so she doesnt have that advantage.

    And many of those this are not really brags…

        Yeah that’s a troll there. Mr Ramaswamy is many things, but he’s about as smart as he is the pride of Columbus, and most of us don’t even realize he’s from here. Hell he didn’t even manage to be the shame of the city.

          I really detest him. As an Indian guy I hate seeing conservatives extol him as a genius, when he’s actually just a billionaire grifter pandering to conservatives.

        The one that is uncontroversially an abysmal failure would be “Co authored withdrawal from Afghanistan”. That is incredible someone would even want to mention it.

            Of course I could do better, give a map to a toddler and they could have done better. Think about it this way, which would you chose to try to defend, an airport in a city of 4.5 million (semi-hostile) people, or at an AFB that they put billions of dollars into 1 hour north surrounded by desert?

              I mean this response is indicative of a lack of critical thinking about what it means to head up the entire US army

              Not that I have a hard on for Harris, the military industrial complex or neoliberalism, but I do recognize that overly simplistic solutions like this are extremely ill-considered at best.

                I am confused is it hard to realize how bad of an idea it was to exit in the middle of a huge city?

                  You don’t even know the granular logistics of what happened there for them to take such a decision. And the fact you’re incapable of coming up with any proves that you’re just a clown.

                  The Bagram Airfield was not well-suited for a large scale evacuation regardless of how close it was or how well-protected, because they needed stealth over making noise due to how quickly the government collapsed.

                  You’d easily have gotten them all killed
