Any chance trump is playing rope-a-dope only to agree at the last possible moment and then comes out hot?
He so badly defeated Biden in that debate that it ended the 51 year political career of as some on here call him the sharpest and greatest President of the modern era. Yet somehow he is afraid to debate Harris who has demonstrated no ability to discuss anything of substance, will not take any direct questions from the media and who continues to lie about her positions on things like fracking, the border etc.
Trump was a disaster as well, lol - don’t get it twisted. He’s just lucky that Biden was so far into mental decline that it overshadowed his performance. Unless you think all the lies he told means he did well. Confidently lying does not mean you did well, lol. Get him up there against a former prosecutor who will call him out on everything and not let him lie blatantly and it’s a totally different story.
So Harris changed her position on fracking. When it comes to flip flopping she doesn't come close to Trump. Donald Trump favored banning TikTok until he didn't; Trump was unequivocally opposed to EVs until he wasn't (think Elon Musk may have been a factor?); Trump called crypto currencies a scam and he may have correct that is until certain Silicon Valley tech bros were are really into crypto started supporting him. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/22/trump-policy-flip-flop-00164538 By the way this Harris's current position on fracking. Kamala Harris will not ban fracking if she wins White House, campaign says
I mean this is kinda the whole ball of wax isn’t it? No prizes for 2nd place. I think he is saying no only for the moment as it is his only leverage
If Democrats actually respected the will of the voter, then yes. Can’t wait until Harris loses and we hear the inevitable “why didn’t we stick with Biden??” You’ve effectively rendered your primary process useless.
this seems to be in response to the will of their voters. Polls suggest this before & after Droolio dropped out. Will changes, no? ex. I remember when pubs were not pro-choice, socialists.
Democrats made a strong and bold move forcing the too old candidate out for a young and vibrant candidate. If only the chicken shit republicans were that strong.
I think Tilly is just jealous that we have a great, young, hot, energetic candidate and he is stuck with his obese, psychopathic, narcissistic, sexual predator that has done absolutely everything in his power to take over his party and is driving it off the cliff. Sorry Tilly, your guys had their chance to jettison the weird creep when he was impeached over his role in J6. But your people were chicken shits and let him skate on an attempt to steal the election and instigating a riot.
You gets points for showing me that you’ve been against Biden for a while. You may have been the lone voice of reason in the wilderness. Mind you I don’t look at every post from every poster in every thread. The overwhelming general consensus from the left until the debate was Biden was great. Similar to the majority of the right leaning posters who still like Trump. It is hard to know for sure who really is left or right though.
Thanks - I do not, however, think there was an overwhelming consensus in favor of Biden if there was another choice. Sure, dems supported Biden because he's the guy and the the other option was/is Trumph. The incumbency kinda forced dems to back their guy in lieu of another viable option. Now that there is one, dems will back Harris, including those who were previously critical of her.
I don’t know anyone who thought Biden was “great” if you exclude the sarcastic “diamond Joe” comments. I thought he was more or less the same as when he ran in 2020. The debate showed that was clearly not the case.
But he gave them that. He doesnt owe them an unlimited amount of do overs. I hate Trump. I hate defending him. I would say this about anyone in his strategic position.
Rick. Are we to assume that agenda based interviews like this are showing us everyone and there is no chance they are just showing us what they want us to see? Remember those Jay Leno ("Jay walking") interviews that allegedly showed us how stupid people have become? Truth was the dumb people were the extreme anomaly. But they were the only ones that made it on TV. It gave the perception that all his interviews were dumb people. Almost everyone else was smart and this didnt fit the comedy bit.
I'm not sure if she was a Trump-ite or not, but she still looked stunned at the lopsidedness of her small sample poll... By the way, they didn't look dumb in my opinion... and they certainly did not look as dumb as our college students did when Jessie Waters was doing those college campus interviews and polls.
I love the way Republicans who wouldn't vote for Joe Biden under any circumstances are complaining about the way Old Joe was unfairly forced out after winning the Democratic primaries, essentially the same posters who complained about the way the DNC screwed Bernie Sanders in 2016. They expressed the opinion the Bernie was unfairly treated while continuing to post extremely disparaging comments regarding the old socialist at the same time.
