    MAGA folks don't care what he steals, who he cheats, who he cons, who he conspires with to commit criminal acts, or who he assaults physically or verbally.

    The White House conducts daily press briefings to update the public and answer questions. These briefings take place at the White House and other departments. While not mandatory, they have become a longstanding tradition. I don't follow these briefings, but news organizations attend to gather information, ask questions, and report to the public. From what I understand, the Biden administration continues this practice. In contrast, the Trump administration halted daily briefings, leaving most communication to Trump himself. This approach is bad because no single person can be fully informed on every issue, nor should the President be the daily source of information for the press and the public (the POTUS is too busy and important to act as a press sectary).

    I'm pretty sure a lot of the Republicans who didn't like Trump but were too cowardly to stand up to him are wishing their party could also switch candidates.

    Get Ready Now: Republicans Will Refuse to Certify a Harris Win
    Trumpist county election officials are preparing to throw the process into chaos.

    The last two weeks—the unveiling of the Harris-Walz ticket, and Kamala Harris’s surge in the polls—feels like some surreal dream state. Everything has changed. Have you noticed Harris has pushed Donald Trump right out of the comfy lead he’s held for an entire year? He’s noticed. From FiveThirtyEight to RealClearPolitics—pick your polling average—they all now show Harris out in front after only two and a half weeks.

    Trump is no longer on track to win the election—which he has been for more than six straight months. Instead, the momentum, money, voter registration, volunteering, grassroots organizing, polling, and online engagement all favor the Democrats and it looks now like Trump could easily lose.

    But that won’t happen, because Trump doesn’t lose. He beat Joe Biden in 2020—remember? So if he’s not the rightful victor on November 5, an entire army of Republicans is ready to block certification of the election at the local level.

    No need to worry about mayhem on January 6, 2025 when Congress meets in joint session; the election deniers plan to stop a result right away if it looks like Harris is winning. Their goal: Refuse to certify anywhere—even a county that Trump won—and prevent certification in that state, which prevents certification of the presidential election.

    A Harris victory could become a nightmare.

    An investigation by Rolling Stone identified “in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania . . . at least 70 pro-Trump election conspiracists currently working as county election officials who have questioned the validity of elections or delayed or refused to certify results.” Of those 70, 22 of them already have “refused or delayed certification” in recent past elections. Nationwide, Republicans have refused to certify results at least 25 times since 2020, in eight states—the most in Georgia…….

    Yes. I understand that they were in a tough position. Most that challenged him were going to get primaried and likely be out of a job. But as you said. Had they all united and actually voted for the conviction on impeachment their party would be better right now. They didn't.

    Also, it was simply the right thing to do.

    They KNOW that impeachment was the right thing to do, they cowardly refused to do it and hoped he would age out, or the democrats would solve their problem and Trump would be temporary, instead they enabled a monster.

    Harris tops Trump by 9 points among young voters in new survey

    In a SocialSphere survey, released by Democratic super PAC Won’t Pac Down, Harris garnered 51 percent support from registered voters ages 18-29 in battleground states in a two-way race against Trump, who had 42 percent of support from this group. Seven percent did not know which candidate they would back.

    Maybe in their poll but it would be considered an outlier.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/

    Either way the polling shows it’s going to be close. So you’ll need to make sure you put your foot on the gas peddle these next few weeks with your right wing propaganda spam cannon. Quick…. We need Turley op ed’s now!! If only a famed scholar could weigh in on the daily travesties of the Democratic Party!!!
