    Sheer hubris on his part not to expand his base

    :rolleyes: to simply ask a Republican (who had said she'll vote for Trump) to campaign for him?

    Fundimentally, his entire existence is about making enemies and picking fights and seperating people. Everything is personal.with him, and he would feel like "one of the poors" in a big tent.

    Being a felon tops my list. The two inflight federal prosecutions are next on my list.

    Would it hurt you to provide some productive feedback? I know you really believe this **** is going to be a massive defeat for Kamala, but can you pretend that your prediction is wrong, what do you think Trump should of done different?

    If you think nothing, then just saying nothing and move on. Let's ignore the fact that you will claim fraud if Kamala wins as well. Just answer the question.

    Honestly the reason that I say this thread is a joke because it is always about Trump. Kamallah is a piece of turd for a candidate and that’s why I know Trump is running away with this.

    It's not hard to answer the question, but based on your answer it seems the answer is nothing. Thanks.

    Being a racist, peod, rapist, liar, narcissist, conman grifter...

    Stacking the court to overturn roe v wade with more corrupt justices who lie just as he does...

    I think Trump is doing about as well as he can do while remaining Trump. He's leading a revolution. I could say maybe he'd do better if he wasn't so racist or xenophobic or fascist or whatever, but then what's the point of him? Either people want the revolution or they don't.

    Maybe that should be in the sister thread: Should Kamala Lose in 2024---In Retrospect--What Were Some of Her Biggest Blunders ? | ClutchFans

    Being Trump.

    This guy has gotten his ass kicked by millions of votes in each election, only through a bunch of luck (media, russia etc) & the grand ****ery of the electoral college did he ever get close in the first place.

    If I were to be at a bar with a cocktail, we could spend all night on this.


    But I think his biggest mistake is thinking enough "Regular" republicans would buy into all of the hate speech.
    Yes, he is pandering to his base. But that base will always be there.
    The ones that will jump ship are the ones who, like me, may not agree with all of the democratic policies but are willing to listen.
    Just because you have differing opinions on policies does not give license, ON BOTH SIDES to debase your opponents.
    I just had my 57th birthday last week, and I can honestly say I have never been as disgusted about any election as this.

    I blame social media.
    I blame any left or right leaning news media.
    I blame the people who write the speeches.
    But most of all I blame Bobby Slowick, and Bill O'Brien.

    Honestly, I believe that Trump would have won by a pretty big margin if we would have just chosen to take the high road and not attack everything under the sun, but that is not in his nature and it's a big flaw.

    I think his biggest failure would be before he started running, being convicted of sexual assault and the countless felonies did it for me. The fact that it barely moved the needle with his core was shocking to me but he didnt stop there.

    Not picking Haley as VP IMO was his biggest mistake, JD has done him no favors and quite frankly that didn't do much. Over the past few weeks, he seems to have become unhinged and that's simply trump showing us who he really his to his core, he doesn't like Women which resonates with his base, they would prefer Woman to be bare foot and pregnant and for the year to be 1950 again.

    IMO the gop failed their party by letting this buffoon run for President.........................run Haley and you would have won

    His best chance for a 180 would be after the first attempt. Make it all religious and God fearing with a redefined purpose...

    But then again, if the Big One Neo'd those bullets for an insufferable jackass, then why should said jackass do anything differently?

    He can still wear a squirrel costume at a rally.

    Yea, he had a small window, if he would have come out (and not even really mean it) and said, "Look, I have made some horrible mistakes and have some done some things I would take back and I ask you to please give me another chance" and then went on to be NICE, he might not be in this boat. But DJT is brought down by his own VANITY and PRIDE.................he is going to run his race, dam his handlers and surrogates. If I have to watch one more gop surrogate twist logic every day on a lie or gaffe I am going to puke. If trump loses, at least all the fake trump fans on capitol hill can go back to being normal, I would bet a dollar that there are so many gop folks secretly hoping trump loses so they can kick his ass to the curb..................I just wonder if Ted Cruz`s wife votes for Harris just to stick it to teddie for allowing trump to call her names :D

    It's likely that Teddy's wife is in it for the long haul and she'll vote for her pool boy.

    Do not take this the wrong way.
    But if either candidate was fluent in Spanish they would win in a landslide.
    That's how you connect.

    I got out of work and came home and saw a Harris rally.
    The one huge difference I see between the candidates is Harris talks about things that make people happy.
    Do not know how much substance is behind it.

    Trump has taken to being like a barn storming hellfire and brimstone Jimmy Swagert type.

    I think American's want to feel good about themselves and our country however flawed it is.
    It's still the greatest country in the word as I see it.
