I don’t really watch much news or politics but was just wondering who is most likely to win this election? Didn’t think Trump would be running for it again shows how much attention I pay to things.
I don’t think Trump can win and I’ve always thought that. Without a third party candidate he can’t get over 50%. He won’t go below 45% either.Quote:

It’s officiated by ABC which should make for a better debate than the CNN one which was shockingly bad for all parties. Hoping that swing voters will watch and see Harris dismantle the orange flump.
Been in the US for almost 2 weeks and spoke to a few people over that time from various states and the polarisation is clear. Trump voters see Democrats as left wing liberals who are giving their future social security money to job shy immigrants. Harris voters see Trump as a deranged idiot. An independent was voting for Trump because he was better for the economy.
It's an extremely divided place.
Seems it's also an extremely stupid place.Quote:

And I still think that there is a majority who just don’t want Trump.

In itself, this sentence encapsulates the madness of the US elections. How can 47% of US voters decide that Trump is who they want for President? It's nuts.Quote:

I do like the way she wouldn’t stop eating her sandwich though.
I played golf in April with a well educated Hispanic descendant American up at St Andrews in April. He was going to do exactly the same for the same reasons. He is a college friend of my sons who I’ve known for a number of years. They’re both nearing their 40’s. I find it baffling.Quote:

Be interesting to see if the polls move at all following the 'debate'
Trump would stop Ukraine/Russia war within 24 hours....god he's so good
he's doesn't know anything about Project 2025...lol
he probably took a bullet to the head because of what the democrats say
it was nancy pelosi that was responsible for Jan 6th
the hundreds that have worked with him that wouldn't want him as president again were all fired cause they were useless at their jobs and wanted to write books, stopped short of calling them losers on TV but will no doubt get back to calling them losers on his comically named "truth " social
Joe Biden doesn't know if he's alive and gets up at 4pm
Kamala Harris lied all night, Trump didn't....
he was being sarcastic when he said he only lost the last election by a whisker
everyone that disagrees with Trump is the worst in American History
oh and P.S. Viktor Orban apparently loves him, which is probably true
Taylor Swift endorses Harris.

I doubt the night could have gone much better for Harris. She looked nervous first couple of minutes but once she got going she absolutely smashed it.
It won’t move polls much but surely any movement at all is towards her.

I thought Trump looked a bit like Biden in the first debate last night.
He was all over the place. Rambling about his own obsessions and failing to push home the areas in which Harris was weaker. He was flustered and outright lied when pressed on abortion and the support for the repeal of Roe vs Wade and that is an area he already polls poorly in.
Harris and Walz have a huge advantage just by being fairly normal people whilst Trump is a total weirdo and vain, obsessive and childlike with it. If the option of another debate is on the table then Harris should do it, the more you let Trump speak the weaker he becomes.
I think from the minute she talked about his crowd sizes, he totally lost it. He was taking every bit of bait she threw out there.Quote:

It was on the immigration section of the debate she baited him on crowd sizes and he took it big time and couldn’t focus on the issue. She played a blinder there.Quote:

In terms of the concerns of sections of the US public then immigration and the economy. That's the areas he can win on and he failed miserably to drive home any advantage last night. He also could have had her on the ropes regarding her perceived flip flopping on fracking and other energy concerns but that's when he got all upset that she all but accused him of being a nepo baby (which he is) and seemed to forget the issue being discussed altogether.Quote:

The US economy is booming under Biden. Trump was a failure. His tariff policy will be ruinous.Quote:

Wages adjusted for inflation grew all the way through Trumps presidency and have dropped a dollar an hour under Biden. Biden wasn't to blame for that inflation it was world events but Trump should have used that and immigration instead of people eating catsQuote:

Worth remembering on this day (9/11) that Trump's first reaction to the appalling events was to brag that his tower block was once again the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.
You're preaching to the converted (well not really because I don't much like Biden's economic policies either but as a lesser of two evils and all that).Quote:

- Donald J Trump, calling in to local tv station WWOR in NY on September 11th, 2001 giving his testimony on the horrific act of terrorism that had occurred that day.
(Final note… fact checkers later pointed out that he was incorrect about his own building being the tallest.)

I have it on good authority that the story about immigrants eating pets started with a total misunderstanding in a restaurant in Springfield.
It all happened when a Haitian guy couldn't quite finish his meal and asked the waiter for "a doggy bag".
It all went downhill from there...
This is a good video on it, debunks a lot of the nonsense but also highlights the influx of people and local infrastructure not being able to deal with it as well as out and out racist ********s
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rvZTr3...Qgb2hpbw%3D%3D
Vile far right crap. Most normal folk will be laughing at the ridiculousness of it but Haitian kids around America will get these slurs used against them. There is something deeply sad and pathetic about the people who hit out at immigrants the most downtrodden group of people in societyQuote:

Replace Haitians with Pakistani, Polish or Romanians and that could be any number of Northern UK towns with a large immigrant community. In fact it could be in any country in the world. People are just *****.Quote:

more than a few suggesting it's actually the big orange beast himself with another account, i think i'll go along with that
And the MSM like to paint Republican supporters as nutters, yet there are no assassination attempts on Biden or Harris.
Makes you wonder..
nae stray bullets
