    They had Hillary at 70% and then I want to say 65% the actual morning of.

    Then - a lot of people lost their mind when she lost a very close election...... people acted as if it was 99% to 1%.

    A 1:3 chance of losing - is still a good chance at losing and people need to remember that.

    Right now a lot of the models have Harris at like a 55%-58% chance of winning...... that is still almost a coin flip outcome.

    Everyone needs to just want and see what happens - but this is Clinton v. Dole or Reagan v. Mondale ........ the election is going to be fairly close to very close .... no one is running away with this election with politics being so heated.

    Some of them - a fair number of them don't have strong relationships with their parents, as their parents often both worked full time jobs.

    So - let me get this straight. A man that already had the advantage of being the incumbent LOST the last Presidential election and had an approval rating of 33% when he left the Whitehouse after claiming the election was stolen and his supporters rioted and stormed the Capitol......... is favored to win the next election?

    I mean - why even have an election if he wins it is so clearly obvious that it is because Trump stole the election.

    The Republicans supporting Trump in the GOP party are cowards and despicables. They are too scared or too loyal to Trump to speak the truth about him. They don't give a damn how reckless, stupid, immoral, untrustworthy he is. They don't care if he wants to be a dictator, or sides with Putin or North Korea if they dangle him carrots and praise. It's disgusting. They don't care if he uses propaganda and lies to deceive Americans and make himself out as the victim of conspiracies and witch hunts. They jumped onboard that disinformation train and tooted the horn.

    The sad part is that many of those hypocrites still supporting Trump spoke the truth about him before he ever got elected. Now they are bootlickers, hellbent on defending every illegal, unconstitutional, or completely traitorous act he commits. Why? Because they are either as big of greedy power mongers as him, or they are too damn scared to do what's right, because they are cowards. Not even Jan 6th and all the election lies was enough to stop them, nope. Not Trump's numerous criminal indictments. Nope. Not his obvious mental decline. Nope I could go on and on with examples of why Trump is unfit to serve, but those MAGA politicians don't care. They aren't conservatives. They are right wing extremists, hellbent on making Trump a Dictator, with full power to do whatever the hell he wants to serve himself.

    I disagree with them on supporting Trump, but I disagree with you putting millions of people in the same basket.

    There are people who do not pay much attention to politics. There are people who follow what their friends are doing, or who only see FOX "News" (sic) when they see "news" at all. If that was your only input about politics, you would sound just like some Trump supporters on here, b/c they make Harris look like the devil incarnate and never show Trump's weird moments or awful statements / posts.

    Then there are cynical people who stand to save more money on a probable Trump administration tax plan; I think there are literally people who say "yeah, maybe he'll be bad for a lot of people and a lot of policies, but I'll have mine." There are business people who favor less regulation and literally believe the free market is the best path and that Trump is going to be closer to that. And there are social issue people who don't like Trump but hold their nose b/c their one social issue feels absolutely vital to them.

    And sure, there are cowards like Ted Cruz, and despicable people like white nationalists who support Trump too. Clearly that is true.

    200 unknown staffers, 16 unknown members of congress, 12 unknown attorneys, 4 former governors and countless of worthless and unknown gop officials vs Tulsi Gabbard and RFK JR? Are you trying to make this comparison? RFK JR and Tulsi are worth over 5,000 worthless unknown people, there are levels bro... This is like saying The Pistons entire team is comparable to Tatum and Brown..... They aren't bro.... Two of them are superstars the others ain't $hit...

    Gabbard is worthless. RFK JF. is about the same. Neither have credibility. Why are you supporting Trump? He doesn't give a **** about you unless you make $1 Million or more and give him money.

    Superstars? No one would be talking about RFK Jr. if he wasn't a Kennedy running for president and spouting quack theories. And no one outside of a few Republicans and Rogan Bros give two ***** about Tulsi.

    But in your mind people like his former chief of staff, multiple cabinet members, an FBI chief, several high-ranking generals and defense secretaries, his own VP, a former House speaker and past Republican nominees for president like John McCain and Mitt Romney, etc. are all nobodies and unknowns? :eek:

    No. Trump is the RINO. He has hijacked conservatism. The people in the GOP who are against him are the true Republicans.

    A couple of democrats who have never lead anyone under them are worth more than a few hundred worthless nobody Republicans who ran government positions in some capacity.

    That must be why harvesting Libruhl Tears with insults, rumors, and spiteful RDS gimmick policies is worth more spice than real work that benefits "worthless nobodies" who might normally be republican.

    Very interesting. Would love to see where these surges in registration are at in the country. I'm sure that's data that the Harris campaign has, and helps them decide which cities to show up in and try to turnout who is registering.

    According to some, they are all voting for Trump. Seriously though, it looks like the women are going to save us.
