At a rally in Wisconsin, when Harris mentioned the idiot's name, the crowd shouted, "Lock him up!"

Biden? Lock him up in an old folks home?

Biden might be many things, but an idiot is not one of them.

Thought she was a bit nervous to start with a repeated glad to be here line but she soon found her stride , second time i heard her say she knows trumps type , i guess she will be repeating that a lot , yanks are irritating in general at rallies

But .. I like her and am optimistic she can beat him

One can do all of that living in any State, not many States have zero State tax on earnings

I think you missed my joke :)

I have a few tax exile friends in WY, as I do in AZ, WA and FL.

To be fair, that’s the nature of stumping—lots of repeated speeches and phrasing, to make sure a similar message not only gets across to different groups in different locales, but through to media to get broader exposure.

If you were to go to a series of rallies for any one candidate over the course of a few weeks (even Trump’s) you would generally hear the same speech, with some slight alterations based on the location, audience, and any recent events that should inform the rhetoric. Sometimes the only modification is to the opening line “It’s great to be here in [insert town/city/county/state]!”

Beyond all that, you try having to give a speech to hundreds or thousands of people once or twice a day for months and months and see how varied your language is. ;-)
