His campaign managers are concerned he would say that publicly? Why?! Why do we still act like his cultists would be bothered? Why do we act like they have a fraction of humility and demeanour left in their bodies? They would love to hear that. Where the fuck have you been the last 8 years? Did you pay any attention?
The issue they have is, Trump can’t win with just his base. He needs to appeal to at least some percentage of voters outside of that group. It seems like he’s been doing everything he can to push anyone who isn’t already all in on him away since Biden stepped down.
Half the reason Trump succeeds as much as he does is due to designed corruption at the state level. Republicans grabbing local elections and using them to upend the system. From psychotic school boards to regressive judges to grandstanding attorneys general.
Flip that reasoning entirely, my dude. If the feds ran elections fully then Trump wouldn’t have needed to make the call to the GA Sec of State to “find” more votes. He would have just fired people until he got a yes from whatever federal employee could do it
Wouldn’t that be if they were connected at the tail? This is more of a disorganised avian garroting caused by a constant futile bid for meaningful independence.
Trump has never won the popular vote, his 2016 victory was based on highly gerrymandered areas with low populations and a high number of electoral votes. America is being held hostage by wealthy donors.
A poll is just an estimate. Obviously we will never know. But were the election held a couple months ago (vs Biden) Trump would have about an 85% chance of winning according to the best statistical models. (Source: used to work as data scientist for a major pollster and obsess over this stuff for fun)
What were the projected odds for Clinton beating Trump in 2016? I remembered it being nearly a sure thing in the reported research polls but I may be remembering it completely wrong.
“It’s ok. He says negative things about a lot of people.”
This is the excuse I got when I pointed out video of TFG mocking the disabled reporter to a die-hard Trumper. Also, she has a kid with Downs. Still didn’t break the Trump spell over her. She used to be normal.
“That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it’s not how the campaign would characterize her.”
The most interesting thing about this statement is they have set Trump up to fail. Because you know he’s going to say that into a microphone at some point during this campaign.

And yet Harris is only 2% in the lead.
America is a fucked up country. I pray for y’all.
America is three countries in a trenchcoat.
According to an interesting book I read a couple years ago called american nations, more like 9
Some scientists have posited the number could even be as high as 50.
We’re like the EU but with a fully federal budget and laws, which explains a lot
I used to be in favour of a federal europe until I saw America go to shit with Trump elected in 2016.
Now I’m more ambivalent. The confederation model sounds better…
(Confederation is an alliance where members retain sovriginity) Not talking about the US confederacy

Cool I’ll give it a read.
I think of America more as a swarm of 50 plus angry pigeons tied together at the neck with string.
Like a rat king with wings?

Pigeon king.
Land of confusion.
Clink of coin.
Trump has never won the popular vote, his 2016 victory was based on highly gerrymandered areas with low populations and a high number of electoral votes. America is being held hostage by wealthy donors.
Yet he was leading in popular vote pols for a solid 9 months before Biden dropped out. If Biden had stayed, he would likely have won the popular vote.
We’ll never know, the only “poll” which matters is the election.

60% about
Problem is media reports on 60% as if it is a sure thing, when 40% is a really big chance…
The US already has millions of Christians.
She’s also been running for less than a month.
Well Biden was 2 points behind if you want to compare
We need far more than prayers.
He said the other day in the interview that his base is 75% of America, so…
That is a problem they are trying to solve yes
They aren’t worried about alienating his base. They don’t want to galvanize hers.
They don’t care if he says it. They just care if he gets caught saying it. Big distinction. They know their candidate is a racist shit bag.

I think they have a saboteur.
Or they’re just that incompetent. But you’re right.
Why not both?
I give it 3 weeks
20 bucks, he will say it during their live debate. If it happens. Last time I checked, Donnie chickened out.
And it won’t make an ounce of difference if he does. Access Hollywood proved that already.
