Yeah, I’m waiting for this one next year. I’ll be out and part of the lawsuit over it. In a 6-3 decision I’ll stay fired

Definitely possible. My current theory is that they know enough about the guy to know that he was definitely right leaning and likely a Trump supporter. They're gonna find out he was trying to martyr him or prove that he's sent by God or some other absolutely batshit thing. Even if Trump was genuinely shaken by this, and I think that's super likely even if it's temporary, I can't see the cooldown in rhetoric from everyone else without there being more known about the guy even if the motives aren't clear.

Cugel the Clever posted:I'll add the caveat that I'm perplexed AOC and Bernie haven't come out with endorsements for Harris yet. Wasn't the main thrust of their argument that Democrats must align on the candidate to defeat Trump, just that they thought Biden was best positioned over an alternative? https://x.com/AOC/status/1815179139806331043

Hyrax Attack! posted:Huh wonder why not accept, a tiny bump could make a difference & if he loses again whatever & if he wins he can just not do it & RFK couldn’t do anything about it. Having seen some of the stories coming out of the RNC I can only imagine the thought was they didn’t need it. It really seems like they already had the Clinton cruise to victory playbook running.

One of the better descriptions of her I've seen was something along the lines of it looks like she's wearing a death mask of her own face. She's just a terrible overall human being. I highly doubt Trump is loving her, she doesn't seem his type at all. I'm probably very wrong though.

I live in rural Missouri. Drove through ruraler Missouri today to grab a trailer. There were a shocking number of Harris/Walz signs out there. It was 4 total that I noticed, but that was still surprising to me. I generally expect zero when out and about. Relatively few trump shrines either. Also surprising.

Soylent Pudding posted:The hard core Trump support in rural areas tends to be the wealthy of those areas. The college friend who was just in a Trump boat parade used his family money to buy the used car dealership that he runs, for example. These are also the folks that have Trump shrines at their lake house. Except now tiktok has been showing me videos of lake houses with the giant Harris/Walz signs. I don't think that Harris is going to win any true red states, but something definitely feels different this cycle. I'm seeing way less overt Trump stuff and have personally seen Harris signs in places I didn't expect. Very anecdotal and all, but it feels like there's been a shift of some of his support.

I have zero actual evidence, but you won't convince me that the pollsters aren't all skewing the polls in Trump's favor after their misses the past 2 elections. It could be as tight as it seems but I just don't believe it. I will absolutely not be surprised when Trump wins this time though. We've done it once, we'll do it again.

CBJSprague24 posted:Aileen Cannon is on Trump's short list for attorney general if he wins. I think his first term did irreparable damage to the country. I don’t think we make it out of a second. It’ll be true believers and loyalists top to bottom after the dipshits like Elon that think they’ll have some pull or get to actually run things get run out. He’s gonna do all of the things he’s saying he’ll do and that’ll be that.

Things on video can do a lot of damage and change things up. Like when that football player punched his girl. It was known about and he was going to get in trouble but then video came out and oh wow, that’s actually bad and I think he got suspended extra. The nfl caught flak for that, but seeing something can add a lot to it.

I distinctly remember stories that the campaign was essentially on cruise control leading up the convention because of the assumption that they'd just walk over senile old man Biden. It seems like they maybe stepped it up a little since he dropped out, but I don't think they're doing anywhere near what they should be. The Trump takeover of the RNC is going to have long lasting effects. I always thought Biden had a chance to win even with the uproar after the debate and the Trump campaign turning the Hillary 2016 "we've got this locked up" dial to 11 was why. bulletsponge13 posted:Isn't Harris scheduled to do JRE, too? I believe this got cancelled. I could see them going for it again since Trump did it just for the contrast between old man rambling and Kamala?

TheKingslayer posted:At this point there have to be right leaning types that are just fatigued at holding their nose and voting for this rear end in a top hat hoping a break will just see him go away. I've posted about seeing a surprising number of Harris signs in rural Missouri, but I was thinking about it the other day and another telling thing for me is the lack of Trump signs where there should absolutely be Trump signs. I see plenty of places with signs supporting the abortion ban and Josh Hawley, etc... that don't have a Trump sign anywhere to be seen. This place is not full of shy Trump voters either. I've seen less Trump signs, truck flags, etc... over the past few months than I have at any point in the 2 years I've been out here. They're still out there but I absolutely believe his support has softened considerably among what should be some of his staunchest base supporters.

Small town voting place has a bit of a line but nothing crazy. I hosed up getting an electronic ballot instead of paper as they only have 3 machines and it’s going to take significantly longer.
