    The truths just came out in Iowa. The machine got to Selzer too. She got paid or threatened or both. She would only polled the liberals.
    This is the final stretch, the misinformation war is in full swing. Fear not, Trump got this. Unless they succeed in their assassination attempts, Trump will be president again. It is the will of the people.

    in MAGAs defense, during my sales career I only bragged about my activity metrics when I knew I was going to miss my sales quota.

    I can personally attest to the massive GOTV in Wisconsin.

    True story.

    One side of my family is big on genealogy. They claim that we are related to President William Henry Harrison, Clara Barton (founder of the Red Cross) and one Native American who they have raised to the position of a "significant Cherokee Chief". As a young impressionable lad, I believed them and even made the same claims.

    In the last five years or so as I have went through my parents papers and such, my interest in my family's genealogy has been sparked. I went on a very deep dive on both side of my family. I ended up finding that I am not related to President William Henry Harrison or Clara Barton. For this conversation, I also found that I have a distant aunt who did marry a Native American. I am. blood relation to that great aunt, but her husband, not so much.

    To all of the people in my life that I have told that I am 1/64 Cherokee, I apologize. Like Warren, I was just repeating the lies told to me.. The fact that Warren misspoke is completely understandable.

    BTW, I did find in my family tree that I am related to Abe Lincoln's grandmother, which is so such more interesting than William Henry Harrison or Clara Barton.

    Last time I visited by mom and dad in Texas they decided to show me the family reunion photo that had my great great uncle in it with his wife.
    His name was Clyde his wife was named Bonnie.
    I wonder if they stayed for the pecan pie?

    The difference between you and Pocahontas is she uses her bullshiit claim to open doors for her.

    That’s good but without holding MT, WV, and OH and picking up TX and FL they lose the senate.

    I am not commenting on what he meant or the context - only that WHAT HE SAID. He used those words, just as Biden used the words about Trump's supporter.

    People are happy to misinterpret Biden and yet they go ape **** when you take Trump's words literally. Be consistent at least.

    Regardless, he used those words saying they should shoot her. It was figurative, but hey, if Trump can lie about context (or even just anything) why cry when Kamala does it?

    I think many Trump supporters believe what he said.
    But agree with it.
    Some also think that regardless of what he does or says, it a fabrication of the media that hates him. Regardless of the fact it has happened in real time.
    I have had this conversation with some true Trumpers. That's what I get.

    OH is a tossup. The D candidate will pull a lot of R voters, to make it a close race.

    MT is a lost cause, though the Ds are saying it is a 2 point race. There is also an abortion sate ballot measure.

    NE is also a tossup. The I candidate is tied with the R incumbent. The Ds are dumping money into the I candidate's campaign.

    If the Ds win OH and NE ... and Kamala wins ... the Ds hold the Senate.

    I also would not be shocked if the Ds unexpectedly pick up a seat in TX or FLA ... since neither R candidate is actually liked all that much.

    At this point though, the Senate is the Rs to lose.

    That is all possible. I’m less confident though in the democrats holding the senate than in Harris winning the presidency.

    I disagree with Morgan. This isn’t a comeback. The presidency is rightfully Trump’s. It was stolen from him in 2020

    It’s amazing that people find it hard to believe that Trump could lose. He is extremely unlikable policies aside.

    If Biden was 10-15 years younger he would have won by a few more million votes than he already did. But have a good time being weirdo extraordinaire that it was stolen. Folks like you go around these last several years proudly saying people were that didn’t like Trump had “derangement syndrome” but somehow question that a ton people would actually vote for Biden but a lot of people are just voting against Trump.

    Twisting your brain into a pretzel.

    a sign of desperation, FoxNew inviting a foreigner to comment on American culture / politics

    i recall him, on TV, pronouncing
    • Taco as "Tay Co"
    • Los Angeles as "Lost Angel Lees"
    • La Jolla as "La Jo La"
    • Vallejo, CA as "Valley Jo, CA"
    • Mission Viejo as "Mission Vie Jo"
    • Cahuenga as "Ca hu en ga"
