Harris takes 3-point lead over Trump as she gains on key issues: poll https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-takes-3-point-lead-over-trump-she-gains-key-issues-poll Yo, this was posted on fox news of all places. Trump's team really sucks at campaigning. How do you lose the lead after being shot at? Just be an irredeemable scumbag.
You'd think people could sniff out the FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW: DONALD TRUMP MOCKS REPUBLICANS vibe based on the low res and watermark alone.
There are definitely people with serious fascist tendencies who are backing him, and we've gotten clues that they're itching to take over the government. Trump, though, I think is mostly out for himself and he'll align himself with those who serve his goals.
I think if the lead for Harris grows, you might see Trump try to cut a deal to drop out if they drop all charges and he leaves politics..... If that Happens the Dems should wait until the last minute to take the deal and then take it. DD
These days anything is possible but I think Trump dropping out of the race is very unlikely. He still could win and I think it will be closed. What I think is also very likely is he loses and attempts to reverse the election like he did last time and Jan. 6 2025 looks an awful lot like Jan 6 2021
I have no idea how it will be on election night right now it has been about a 10 point swing. Harris is now up 3 in national polls - and her choice of Walz has been extremely popular - especially with the young voters who outnumber all other voters combined. If the Young vote for Harris, this will be an interesting night all around. Trump may try to reverse it, but he won't be in the White House....and Biden will call in the national guard......it is a win win for America if harris wins. DD
He's not president, so it wouldnt be an official act this time. But he won't drop out. He needs this for so many reasons. If he loses, he may have mounting legal troubles.
Trump isn’t president it he has a lot of support among state legislators, in Congress and a sympathetic Supreme Court. What I think is a a very possible scenario is that the Trump campaign launches multiple lawsuits on all sorts of grounds. States like GA that have Republican legislatures and have passed laws giving them more control of their elections attempt to decertify their own elections on nebulous calls of voter fraud. Instead the legislatures name their own partisan electors. The USSC agrees to hear a case regarding states invalidating their own elections and allows them to appoint their own electors. Barring all of that Trump holds another rally in DC on Jan. 6th 2025 and calls again for his supporters to march on the Capitol. Inside Republican representives en masse object to certification.
Being a dictator aligns with his core value of 'only what's best for me.' He has often praised dictators and expressed a desire for similar power. People shouldn't underestimate Trump. While I personally doubt he has the skill to achieve this, assuming he can't is a dangerous mistake when dealing with a wanna-be dictator. This isn't a mistake you can correct, so we must choose wisely to avoid it.
Somehow something something somebody not name Donald Trump picked JD Vance something something Trump will fire Vance shortly something something .... Vance's decline from unpleasant to revolting: A half-dozen polls have now tested views of Vance more than once in the last few weeks. In each of them, his already-underwhelming image ratings have deteriorated — sometimes significantly. And crucially, his struggles appear particularly pronounced among educated voters and women. That would suggest that his derisive past comments about childless women are indeed proving to be liabilities.
Gee, ya think? I included a few examples from a lengthy article. There were far too many to list all the specifics. Stat: Experts: Trump Speech Patterns Hint Of Potential Cognitive Decline This shifting from topic to topic, with few connections — a pattern of speech called tangentiality — is one of several disjointed and occasionally incoherent verbal habits that seem to have increased in Trump’s speech in recent years, according to interviews with experts in memory, psychology, and linguistics. Several noticed Trump’s 2024 speeches included more short sentences, confused word order, and repetition, alongside extended digressions such as Trump’s comments on Biden and Cary Grant, or in another speech, comments on banking abruptly giving way to Trump lamenting the cost of electric cars. These could be attributed to a variety of possible causes, they said, some benign and others more worrisome. They include mood changes, a desire to appeal to certain audiences, natural aging, or the beginnings of a cognitive condition like Alzheimer’s disease. Even as Trump speaks with more derailments, Pennebaker found that he’s relied on unusually simple words and sentence structures since before he was elected president. A linguistic metric of analytic thinking shows that Trump’s levels of complexity have always been unmistakably low, said Pennebaker. Whereas most presidential candidates are in the 60 to 70 range, Trump’s speeches range from 10 to 24. “I can’t tell you how staggering this is,” said Pennebaker. “He does not think in a complex way at all.” “There’s reasonable evidence suggestive of forms of dementia,” he said. “The reduction in complexity of sentences and vocabulary does lead you to a certain picture of cognitive diminishment.” “There are absolutely changes that are occurring, without any doubt,” he said. “Now, it’s much more about evoking different things, using general terms and saying the same thing again and again, then jumping to something else, then jumping back to it,” he added. Trump’s habit of speaking off-topic is likely related to the frontal lobe, the part of the brain involved in executive function such as planning and problem-solving. This is the area of the brain and aspect of thinking that is most often affected by aging, which makes it difficult to remain focused on one topic, and leads to jumping around in conversation. In addition to shorter sentences, Michaelis noticed Trump using words in the wrong order or inventing words, which adds to confusion in understanding him, and can be signs of cognitive problems that come either with natural aging or conditions such as Alzheimer’s. https://www.statnews.com/2024/08/07...ests-potential-cognitive-decline-experts-say/
