July 31, 20241 yr 7 minutes ago, vikas83 said: It's a combo effect. First, the overwhelming majority of Americans were sick of both Biden and Trump. Nominating anyone younger, literally anyone, was going to spike enthusiasm. Second, Trump has had a terrible run for 2 weeks. Vance was a horrible pick and gave a boring convention speech, and every time he talks on the trail it gets worse. Trump completely blew his convention speech by rambling like an idiot for 90 minutes when his team had built up the unity message all week. And now the Trump campaign still seemingly has no plan for how to run against Harris, and attacking her for being a DEI hire is backfiring big time. I read someone say Vance is less likeable than DeSantis -- which I disagree with; DeSantis is a complete scumbag -- but Vance is socially awkward. That photo op he did at the breakfast place in Minnesota showcased his habit of doing something quite annoying. He would ask someone a question, then not even let them finish the answer before interjecting "yup, yup, that's great" almost every single time. Nothing says 'I have absolutely no interest in what you're saying' better than doing that, constantly.

Trump did his best to blow that opportunity, as expected, but the timing of how everything unfolded is wild. She still has a ways to go but everything is trending in the right direction which is why we're seeing all the trumpbots ishing themselves daily. July 13th - Staged the assassination attempt. July 15th – July 18th - RNC Convention July 21st - Biden announces he's not running again. Since then most of the news that has been making the rounds involve the secret service. Biden's version of 5D chess.

Each week in 2024 is the news cycle of an entire election pre 2016. 1 hour ago, DrPhilly said: Quite possible. As of right now that's where we are overall. However, there is quite a lot of time left and a lot can happen. I want to see where we are in, say, the 2nd week of September.

It's like I am being punk'd every day Trump is still the GOP candidate. I think @vikas83 put it best when he described Trump as a heel. Every ish thing he does just builds his brand. 2 minutes ago, SPIDER-MAN said: DeSantis is a scumbag while his wife tried to play Jackie Kennedy. FWIW when DeSantis isn't running for anything, he's actually not that bad of a governor. It's when he is running for something that he turns into a turbo-****.

"On Tuesday afternoon, an individual approached two United States Secret Service vehicles parked in lower Manhattan and, without provocation, caused damage to the rear license plate area of both,” USSS spokesperson James Byrne said in a statement shared with CNN. The man was detained by USSS with New York authorities putting him in police custody. My mind immediately went to:

Pretty wild that Trump didn't invest in community policing when he had a chance the first time. Instead he proposed budget cuts every single year.
