you wouldn't know foreign election interference if it hit you on your putin autographed trump tattoo.
That's fair. I actually think she's probably much better suited for a General Election...and against a singular opponent like Trump...than she was facing multiple different Democrats at the same time.I totally get all that. On the flipside, I think it's a mistake for people to just automatically assume Harris is going to step in it and lose votes because she didn't win the primary in 2020.
I'm not sure Trump really has 40% when you have never trump republicans that were part of the original 40% republican voting block. Probably depends mostly on who gets their voters to show up more than trying to change people's votes.That's fair. I actually think she's probably much better suited for a General Election...and against a singular opponent like Trump...than she was facing multiple different Democrats at the same time.
And obviously it matters how good a candidate she ends up being the next few months...but there is a bit of "it doesn't really matter" either. Its gonna be a tight race, decided by a handful of states...really no matter how good or bad she ends up being. Trump is dog shit for over half the voting public.
I don't even think its 40 on the right for Trump, 40 on the left for Harris, and they're fighting for the middle 20. Its more like 40 on the right for Trump, 30 on the right for Harris...can she get enough of the remaining 30 to vote for her to win enough of the swing states. Trump is going to get his number, pretty much no matter what he says or does the next 3 months.
I'm sure its close to that. He picked up moderate republicans and even independents since he emerged in 2016. And while I've spent a handful of posts recently saying to disregard national polls, he's still consistently polling well over 40%. MAGA makes up a big chunk of that 40ish percent. But I personally know A LOT of people that I wouldn't consider typical MAGA types, that are firmly voting Trump because of the decisions, and candidates, on the other side.I'm not sure Trump really has 40% when you have never trump republicans that were part of the original 40% republican voting block.
YupFrank Luntz playing Mr Obvious...
Republican pollster Frank Luntz suggested that while former President Trump has the issues on his side, his “persona” is contributing to the drop in the polls in the race against Vice President Harris.
“If it’s about issues, Trump is much more likely to be successful. If it’s about attributes, Harris is much more likely to be successful, because quite frankly, people like her more than they like him. It’s something that, if he’s watching this right now, his head is exploding — and that’s part of the problem,” Luntz said over the weekend in a CNN interview.
“He has lost touch with the people that he needs, and she is in perfect touch,” Luntz added, pointing to the bolstered energy during Harris’s recent campaign rallies.
“Donald Trump should be winning based on those beliefs, and they are widely, and the spread is significant. And yet he’s not. And the reason why, in the end, is Donald Trump the persona,” Luntz added.
The enormous success of Harris' campaign launch has Trump and MAGAs scared out of their minds. Her short-lived presidential campaign in 2019/early 2020 is one of the few glimmers of hope for them. I'd argue that her poor showing four years ago has little to no relevance today. It's a completely different political landscape, and she has all the momentum now.I totally get all that. On the flipside, I think it's a mistake for people to just automatically assume Harris is going to step in it and lose votes because she didn't win the primary in 2020.
2008 was one of the worst election environments ever for a Republican, they had an abysmal candidate, and were running against the second coming of Jesus if you believed the media. Still only won the popular vote by 7 I believe. Let's be real, this isn't 1984 and only maybe 6-8% of the country can be persuaded. Harris has to win the popular vote by 4 points to have a solid chance.I'm sure its close to that. He picked up moderate republicans and even independents since he emerged in 2016. And while I've spent a handful of posts recently saying to disregard national polls, he's still consistently polling well over 40%. MAGA makes up a big chunk of that 40ish percent.

And who knows - maybe he hits it out of the park with the Elon Musk X interview tonight, but if I were a betting man, I'd put money on him putting his foot in his mouth with Musk goading him on.The enormous success of Harris' campaign launch has Trump and MAGAs scared out of their minds.

Raw poll numbers don't mean much this far (three months) out, but trends do. A quick glance at trends in three key states speaks volumes. In May (per NYT/Siena College), Trump led Biden in PA +3 and in WI +1. Biden was up +1 in Michigan. Now, Harris is up +4 in PA, +4 in WI and +4 in Michigan. This is significant movement - - 3 to 7 point swings.
Also, it's always instructive to look at the money, and I'm not talking now about fundraising. Harris is the favorite in offshore betting action, with money moving even more in her direction after Trump's insanely bizarre news conference last week at Mar-A-Lago. Another company, Predictit, which trades on election outcomes and other current events, is showing Harris with a substantial lead.
A lot can happen in three months, but Harris/Walz clearly have the inside track.
Dems would get far more respect if they stuck with Jan 6 and trump’s behavior being disqualifying. The Harris glow up is as disingenuous as it gets
Don't let facts interfere with the progressives' circle jerk..He's not cratering in any polls. The last 2 national polls, CNBC and Rasmussen, have him up +2 and +5 respectively. Haven't been any polls since. I wonder why.
No one with a brain as I said. You can be excited trump is out. No one should be excited about her
I love that you’re all in on a hardcore progressive 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡.The enormous success of Harris' campaign launch has Trump and MAGAs scared out of their minds.

She's surging!!! Trump can't win!!!Don't let facts interfere with the progressives' circle jerk..

I love how quickly our former conservatives and independents are suddenly so excited about a progressive ticket 🤣Don't let facts interfere with the progressives' circle jerk..
Oh so they are super pumped for a progressive like you? From conservative to independent to now a big Harris gal. What are you ten?His act is old and tired, just like the man himself. People are sick of the chaos, the grievances, the negativity, the insanity and all the other shit he expels.
Cmon Murt she's a moderate. Another JFK. The media said so.I love that you’re all in on a hardcore progressive 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡.
Dumb. Even for you.Oh so they are super pumped for a progressive like you? From conservative to independent to now a big Harris gal. What are you ten?
She’s the second most liberal senator out of 109. We’ve all read her record and heard her speak. She believes in equity of outcomes. She’s the absolute Fing worst. She’s a squad member. And there’s only one candidate on the planet that will lose to her. And that’s trump. You should let that sink in
As I said. It’s totally fine to want trump to lose. No one with a brain should be excited about Harris….Harris/Walz '24! Bring it on!!!

From +14 to +1 inside of 30 days is cratering. Go put some more man juice on your saltineDon't let facts interfere with the progressives' circle jerk..
Trump/Vance is in a free fall.From +14 to +1 inside of 30 days is cratering. Go put some more man juice on your saltine
That headline is a flat out lie. The criminal in question is due to be released because of California juvenile justice rules set down in 2019, which have nothing to do with Harris.
What Trump "ground game" are you talking about? The RNC has no ground game planned. Once Trump took over the RNC they cancelled all of the plans they had for staffers in battleground states. Trump is trying to outsource it to other groups. A very risky and untested method.A lot of truth there. But the Trump ground game is infinitely better than 2020 and Harris polls far worse than Biden did 4 years ago. No Zuckerbucks this time either. Still a lot of Zeke, Hickory, Goat, Mark, Cosmic, etc voters out there.
He does not care. He has no shame.That headline is a flat out lie. The criminal in question is due to be released because of California juvenile justice rules set down in 2019, which have nothing to do with Harris.
At least her VP is solid.She’s the second most liberal senator out of 109. We’ve all read her record and heard her speak. She believes in equity of outcomes. She’s the absolute Fing worst. She’s a squad member. And there’s only one candidate on the planet that will lose to her. And that’s trump. You should let that sink in
We only have 100 Senators. She’s not one of them.
Never saw that one coming 😳I love that you’re all in on a hardcore progressive 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡.
It's a choice, though.You have a clueless ditz and a sex change sanctuary. Thats madness.
He's a whiny old fool, getting worse by the day.It's a choice, though.
On the other side you have a shock jock in a diaper, who every day shows us his 4th grade vocabulary. He reads at a Green Eggs and Ham level (if he reads at all), and is devoid of all intellectualism, morality, or even vision. His daily briefings as POTUS had to be dumbed down to bullet points, and he often didn't even read THOSE.
His sidekick is an empty suit who wakes up and decides what he believes in, depending on how the wind is blowing.
Project 2025!He's a whiny old fool, getting worse by the day.
Think about a Trump second term, with the Project 2025 authors and architects holding key positions in his administration.
Guardrails? Checks and balances? What are those?
Most of those involved in Project 2025 are former Trump officials. I have names if you need them.Project 2025!
Beetlejuice!
I like and agree with pretty much everything I've seen from P25, but I understand it's maybe not the most appealing to moderates. Plus I haven't actually read it cover to cover and neither have you so maybe stop bringing it up because you are definitionally ignorant on the subject. I'm sure it won't stop your verbal diarrhea though.Most of those involved in Project 2025 are former Trump officials. I have names if you need them.
Why are you guys running from Project 2025? Most of it is consistent with Trump's platform and ideas he has previously espoused. I would think you'd love it. What about Project 2025 don't you like, and why?
No on the other side you had a guy (Trump) that had the country in a great position in his 1st term and actually ran things the way they should be run while stupid dem governors allowed their cities to burn ignoring Trumps offers for the national guard. If you can't admit that you're a fool.It's a choice, though.

It's called campaigning, like how nameless, faceless Harris advisers have put out memo's flipping her position on literally every issue in the past few weeks. Love Project 2025, Hate Project 2025, Indifferent, at least it stakes out positions in detail .
Something that we haven't been able to get from Harris in person or even on her website since it was announced she would lead the ticket. She's a coward, and a moron to boot.
Soccer players gonna soccer playerYou really are a soccer player. Pull yourself together, damn it. You’re the leader of the f#cking Dream Team. We got The Don in prime time on the largest news app on planet with a guy who launches rockets as a hobby.
How does Harris inspire you?I really don't get how that guy inspires people. I get how he inspires you; it doesn't take much. However, others seem to be inspired, and I don't get it. He talks like he's in grade school and he thinks his audience maturity level is about the same.
