There is no way that trump is gaining votes by being a convicted felon. I think there are a large number of republicans that say they support trump (because it is a cult and they have to) but when they get to the ballot box, they are leaving the presidential box blank. Does not mean that more people are going to vote for Biden, it just means that less people are going to vote for Trump. I will put money on it with anyone. Trump will lose this election - there will be open calls for violence at all levels of the republican establishment, a sideline, but that is already happening anyway, it will just get worse. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,026 #2378 June 24, 2024 Another week passes and still no SCOTUS decision on Trump's immunity. The delaying tactic continues. Clearly this constitutes election interference, but with this court there's no recourse. Quote 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,362 #2380 June 25, 2024 Hi folks, Now, here is a real MAGA-Man: his bragging about his firearms collection that he will never surrender But, when it came right down to it, he did surrender. So much for being a tough guy. Florida dentist charged with sending violent, racist messages (msn.com) When the chips are down, the MAGA folks are just cowards & bullies. Like their leader.

kallend 2,026 #2382 June 25, 2024 So Judge Aileen Cannon once again shows that there's one law for the rich and powerful, and another for the rest of us. Maybe that's what the founding fathers actually wanted, since they were all rich and powerful. It's just become more blatant recently. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump may make even more outrageous statements as the election comes closer. His several stalled legal matters make it very important for him to win.

I gave up predicting US election results after Bush V Gore. I've come to realize that the margins are so small that it comes down to who is motivated enough to turn up at the voting booth. And now mail in balloting makes it even harder to guess. I've also come to the conclusion that people lie to pollsters quite often. And then there is the unknown effect of RFK junior. Like you, I don't think Trump can win this time. Especially in the face of anger coming from those offended by the overturning of Roe. But I am wrong more often that I am right. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 798 #2392 June 25, 2024 "I've also come to the conclusion that people lie to pollsters quite often" Since high school, when a LOT of the questions were personal enough I felt it was intrusive, I have never answered any type of questionnaire honestly.

And those people might not like Joe, but they are NOT voting for the felon. I hope you are correct, absolutely, but even typing in all caps won't add to the likelihood. Biden isn't Rocky Balboa and anyone planning for a knock out blow this Thursday might be disappointed. The sad truth is that average voters, as a whole, ain't too sharp, a fact made that much worse from them getting spoon fed filtered, biased news from social media sources. Simply stated, they won't know what they think of the debate, or anything else for that matter, until they are told. A serious Biden misstep or lapse can get so blown out of proportion that Trump will win by default. In my view, Biden's advisors should all be head doctors prepping him to trigger a madman attack rather than trying to show Biden off as younger than he looks, a better statesman, and that he is much better qualified on the issues. That might work, seems to me: make the bastard cork. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Joe, Re: The sad truth is that average voters, as a whole, ain't too sharp As I have said for yrs: The average American voter is uninformed and prefers to stay that way. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO Joe Biden is too nice of a guy to go for Trump's throat. Even though I think this is what he should do. I hope his preppers are training him on how to get under Trump's skin. It is so easy to do, you just need to know how. Edited June 25, 2024 by JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is so easy to do, you just need to know how. all he has to do to get under trump's skin at the debate is to keep bringing up that he lost the election and that he is a convicted felon. And maybe touch on the rapist bit too. Trump of course is the narcissistic sociopath, so he believes he did nothing wrong and that he won the election so that will drive him bonkers.... but he is already bonkers. Biden could easily get him spouting off enough stuff to land him in jail on gag order violations right before his sentgencing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
