US Presidential Election 2024 - Trump vs ??? - Vote Hard with a Vengence

Good thing we always source our claims on this forum:

Post in thread 'Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending'

There's a lot of speculation that the lack of maintenance and inspection is being affected because of DEI hiring.

Post in thread 'Attempted assassination of Donald Trump 13 July 2024'

13 Jul 2024

They likely had his ID a while ago and are probably already all over that.

Unless he was an undocumented illegal alien. I've seen one report so far, saying the shooter was Chinese. No validation though.

Looks like another boo hoo day for someone. Perhaps a hot chocolate and a nap will help.

That's classic word play. 40 people declined to answer or refused to respond. That's not the same as implying former staffers saying they will not be voting for Trump.

or 4 out of 44 were willing to support him

or 4 out of 44 were willing to support him

or 4 out of 44 were willing to answer NBC

So suppose we could say. 'Out of those that responded to the poll, 100% said the will vote to re-elect Trump.'

It's the internet. No harm, no foul.

Except that at least 24 have gone on record saying they will never vote for him and claim he is unfit for office.

Opinion: Ten reasons why the Democrats without Joe Biden can win in November

Donald Trump’s Republicans had all the momentum. But a new Democratic presidential ticket presents new challenges, and has already turbocharged the base

Dismissing @Pelorus ’s use of direct quotes is an interesting tactic.

Yeah, I thought so too.

With Biden resigning from the race it's actually become one. And the Republicans are now going to actually have to run an actual campaign.
And they don't appear to be too happy about it.
So far their greatest objection to the new candidate is that she is both a woman and a person of colour.
Probably not the best move on their part unless they're going for the "cringe vote".
The Democrat's on the other hand are positively energized.
This has become a horse race again .

Their response has been surprisingly muted thus far. So much of the campaign has been based on going after Biden’s age, infirmity, etc. With him out that messaging is suddenly not just irrelevant but actually now a liability. Even much of their limited anti-Harris messaging so far has been to tie her as directly as possible to Biden, but I don’t think that’ll sway swing voters.

Trump is already suggesting the September debate is off. I think he’s a lot more skittish about sharing a stage with Harris than he would have been with Biden… And he should be. She was a generally succesful courtroom prosecutor, and his personal and legal history, especially of late, leaves him open to a lot of blows.

She has yet to pick a VP running mate, but requests for vetting info have gone out to several potential candidates.

Overall, I don’t think the Republicans are at all pleased with this turn of events. Someone more astute than I described them as “the dog that caught the car”.

I maintain my belief that this is going to be an unusually ugly campaign.

Fox Host Says It’s Ridiculous to Say Trump Is Too Old to be Prez

Fox News host Dana Perino claimed Monday that it is “ridiculous” and “cutesy” for Democrats to call attention to how 78-year-old Donald Trump is the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. history.Perino’s plea comes after months of relentless attacks on Fox regarding President Joe Biden’s age and...

So apparently it was ok to attack Biden on his age (now backtracking to mental state, despite months of attacks specifically on age) but now that he’s out, they’re Pikachu-facing because Trump is now the oldest nominee.

“Dog that caught the car” indeed.

Live by the ageist/ramblings sword, die by the ageist/rambling sword, indeed.

Topic or angle of attack aside, somebody who is an experienced litigator vs someone who struggles to coherently string 10 words together.

Especially the cringy posts from her supporters

Harris as president will be a bigger clown show than Biden was the last couple of years. She's probably even further left than Trudeau or Jags.

lol. I’m sure that is going to be how the GOP will try and frame this.

One thing they should be happy about is that Biden will not be President in Jan. But they seem somewhat upset right now.

It's a great time for conspiracy memes though

Totally. Did her level of support get above single digits as the VP within her own party? Can't imagine she is now somehow a star candidate.

Plan B it is! I wonder if someone will take another crack at 'ol 45.

'ol 45.

Given the GOP’s previous obsession with age that nickname seems appropriate.
