Republicans close to Trump tell him that while they were heading for a landslide before, Harris is putting key swing states back in play.

    There’s no way anybody is going to convince trump that he should treat a liberal black woman as a worthy opponent. His white supremacist genes and his deepseated disdain for women combined with his textbook narcissism make it utterly impossible

      Probably, but keep in mind that this election is still his only chance of staying out of jail. I expect him to fight dirty.

        Does he know any other way to fight? I sure haven’t heard of him making use of said knowledge, if he does.

          He doesn’t even know how to fight dirty, that’s just the emergent behavior when you flail aimlessly while covered in your own waste.

            I’m rewatching South Park at the moment and Cartman pretty much sums up his temper tantrums.

        Hasn’t he already avoided the whole jail problem with the SC deciding that anything a president does is totally cool and perfectly fine as long as it’s “official”?

          Not necessarily, there needs to be a definition made of whether or not a particular action is official

      No, that’s accurate. Polls had Trump sweeping the swing states and we’ve known since 2015 that the Dems would have to drop the incumbent to stand a chance in 2024.

          I remember that the results were within the expected margin of error, and a lot of people being surprised about this for some reason.

              That hack was popular, but not a good analyst:

              https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/05/04/qa-political-polls-and-the-2016-election/

              Not only were the national polls within 2% of the final total, the last series of state polls going into election day had a very obvious trend line:

                So what you’re saying is almost like polls don’t really matter, thanks for proving my point.

                  Of course the polls don’t matter. National elections don’t even matter. But that’s no excuse for being surprised about the results.

        Do you risk your devices by clicking on “polling texts” or talk to pollsters?

          I’ve talked to pollsters on occasion, but I don’t click on any sus links or tolerate sms fundraising.

    I think he’s going to make some unforced errors, for sure. I do think he’s scared. I’m not sure underestimate is the right word.

    Harris is the perfect opponent to face him as his party attacks women’s rights and courts black voters. His whole strategy went out the window and he’s floundering for an angle.

      How does she feel about protecting the “Hispanic and Black jobs” from the “illegals”? With messaging not even trying to hide the dog whistle anymore I don’t see how he stands a chance outside of uneducated white poor people like Vance talked about before kissing the ring of his Führer.

    This is people already preparing the grounds for defeat, and to save face when Trump is used against them for the next 4 years.

    They’ll still keep discouraging dems to vote, or encouraging Republicans to start a civil war, but they can feel it’s likely going to be too much momentum for kamala

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence is just too old. He needs to drop out, it’s just embarrassing at this point.
