2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Low energy Trump.

Don-old.

Walz needs to pick something similar and pound on Trump with it. That should bring the whining to a whole other level.

[Serak The Preparer 3484]

@immamac - given how concerned you were about making sure VP talk moved to another thread on Monday, can you go ahead and ban pimphand from the CR? He's come in several times over the last few weeks (last night the worst) and does nothing except spew diarrheic over the thread and cause pages of stupid bickering. It's almost, dare I say, toxic behavior. If he has ever had even a single non-trolling post in the CR then I would give benefit of the doubt but it's clear he just likes to stir shit up.

What's funny to me is that there are people on this very site that believe shit like Copeland Ministries puts out there, and then turns around and laughs at Mormons and Scientologists for their 'weird' belief system.

Real fucking talk? There should be laws against holding partisan rallies at police stations. It should be law that police stations are *required* to disengage with political posturing. If the pigs want to burn their money shoveling it into Donald Trump's gaping asshole, do it at their own house, not the publicly funded building.

Probably doing it to avoid paying for being billed for security (The same reason they have rallies outside to avoid paying for being billed for a venue)

Updated for accuracy. They ain't paying for nothing...

Going to be an exciting day when the RNC’s books get audited and we find out Lara Trump’s been funneling money to some offshore account. 

They’ll never hear about it inside their echo chamber bubble and if they do they’ll never admit they were conned. It’s the perfect grift

I think it's a lot simpler than that.  He's scared.

And I actually don't really blame him for that.  Less than a month ago, he came within a few inches of having his head blown off.  I don't think it's particularly surprising if that was in his brain when thinking about whether to do another rally.

He only does the rallies for fun, anyway.  I'm not saying that there isn't a campaign benefit associated with a candidate's rally, but that's not why he does them.  He does them because he thinks they're fun.  But worrying about getting shot in the fucking head isn't very fun.  And if they're not fun anymore, then he's not going to do them.

 

Expanding on all this, Trump has genuine issues with rallies.  

He could have them indoors to help with his safety, but that costs money.   So, he can have them outdoors at a lower cost, but to draw the crowds he needs energy from, they have to be in a red state.  And since many red states are open carry, and the Secret Service has stated (paraphrasing) that they cannot adequately secure events in states with open carry...well, what else can he do?  

He's banking on surviving poll-wise until November, then letting a cadre of attorneys and compliant GOP officials here, there and yonder to fuck it all up in hopes that the House decides this.  That's the entire play for him.

I really hope the campaign swings through Houston or Austin. Would love to attend one in person.

[Chopper 17448]

Going with the "every accusation is an admission theory" about why Trump's not on the campaign trail, think about how focused he has been on Biden's mental health. Even after Biden dropped out of the race, Trump has been rambling in front of crowds and on social media about how old he is and how Biden's brain is supposedly mush. The fact is Trump's brain is mush. He can see the shitty crowds he's been drawing. he's acutely aware of it. He knows he sounds incoherent; but he can't do anything about it. He and his handlers know putting him in a half empty arena or field in front of a small crowd isn't going to do the campaign any good.

I appreciate your openness to Walz and embracing it. 

Here's the problem with Tim Miller and the Bulwark guys. They don't care about policy or making this country a better place for everyone. They have strong enough morals to denounce Trump, but honestly it kind of ends there. Also they are all Beltway people and can't sniff authenticity if it sat on their faces. 

 

 

Yeah, they are NeverTrumpers but once Trump is gone I could see them jumping back in the GOP machine.

I actually wasted brain cells on this earlier and concluded that even tho each main character has faults, they all have some redeeming qualities that JV has none of. Drama was the first thought because he’s a pathetic has been never was hanger on, but it’s not his fault his brother overshadowed him. Turtle liked being a hanger on, but then decided to make something of himself using all the connections he had, which at least shows some self awareness and ambition. E always tried to be a partner not a hanger on, but was still a hanger on so he’s probably closer to JV than the others, but he could pull some tail for a littler person and we know JD repulses woman/people in general.

He’s definitely not Vincent Chase.

Drove by this Trump merch side of the road tent an hour ago here in the reddest county in Alabama (Gulf Shores, etc.).  Ther was NO ONE there except the dude in the truck who was manning the tent.  Those assholes can’t suffer enough.

Now hit Vance with his own words on Trump. 

While this is of course good, it’s so annoying that we only can use it to convince like 10-15% of voters because literally 40% of this country doesn’t give a blue FUCK about reality. 

[Tuco 5094]

 

Donating 16% of your net worth is impressive. Of course, she’d have to donate to a PAC. Individuals have a max level ($2600?) they can give to a campaign. Might be worth fact checking this one.

If Biles is that onboard, I would probably ask her to join a few of the rallies - bring out the suburban moms with kids.
