No one who was an early adopter of the "joe must go" mantra is likely to change their view, that's just human nature. As more join the chorus more will feel right about joining the choir, also just human nature. Not only that. There are bound to be more stumbles along the way between now and the election. It won’t get better, just worse. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,362 #378 July 11, 2024 Hi folks, I just turned on my tv & Joe's presser is on. the first answer I saw him make was this: I would not have picked V-P Trump if I did not think that she could not do this job. Can it get any worse? Jerry Baumchen PS) I would liked to have seen the faces of his staff as he said that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree guaranteed Trump wouldn't have known how many miles of border Finland shares with Russia. Trump would have had no specifics about anything. Biden's answers were intelligent and well conceived. 29 minutes ago, normiss said: ....I'm still in. As are many democrats and those who understand the issues. Unfortunately I have to agree with: 20 minutes ago, brenthutch said: This election will be decided by the low information voter, and they will vote on optics not substance and the optics are horrible for the Ds. The low information voter is another name for the ignorant voter. There is just not enough margin for error to risk a Trump win. IMO Biden should step down. Too many Americans don't understand what the 2025 plan is about. Too many are busy trying to make tight budgets stretch and falsely believe Trump will improve it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
