Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on August 14, 2024, 07:24:55 AMAgain, I don't know where you get your news, but Trump, even by his own standards, has been projectile vomiting bullshit ever since Biden dropped out of the race. Side by side, Harris (who to my eyes is just a run-of-the-mill Democrat, no more no less, warts and all) very much looks like the more competent candidate. All the more so with Walz next to her compared to Vance next to Donald. And we can expect his puerile behavior to get worse if and when the polls start looking grim for him.

Ah no you're hopelessly biased

I'll bite. In what way is trump better than harris. Policy wise. Or maybe human wise, as in trumps a bit of a rapist or sexual abuser. What's the bar?

He's convicted of rape now is he?

Look lad, you seem to believe I'm an apologist for Russia because I said NATO expansion (among other things) may have paved the road to war. Looking at it soberly, that's surely the case, but not the sole factor. They've come out and said it themselves.

I don't quite understand why that theory incenses you so much.

I read the article, and I didn't dismiss the content. But linking the most biased source possible is foolish, if it's an argument your after.

I think more of his potential voters than he seems to realize are, right now, wishing they had health care.

Then this. Genuine stupidity or cynical insulting of his electorate's intelligence? You decide!

Yes, I believe 100 percent is a very conservative estimate. I can picture at least 150 percent of his voter base buying into it.

Yes, this is simply the nature of turncoat politics wherever it occurs (and it occurs essentially everywhere), but it's still amusing to see current allies of his being among the first to articulate exactly the same criticisms his adversaries still point to:

I actually think Trump is going to fumble what should be a clear win through his own silliness and lack of anything sensible sounding coming from him even while the opposition has been at sixes and sevens for the last few months.

I think Harris (well not her personally) will capitalise on how many people are sick of extremes and will try to play to the middle ground and it will win for her.

Yeah, and they're already playing to that tactic with the approach of highlighting as "weird" the endless supply of MAGA-associated antics, the contrary to "weird" being normal/the norm/the middle ground.

It's rather well played, I have to say. Neuro linguistic programming at its finest for the casual observer but I firmly believe that works and they've hit a winner with it. What does he have to come back with, "I'm not weird" or something? That'll only make it worse.


It's playground stuff really but it's effective

I read Kennedy is dropping out of the race. That would be good news for Trump but I don't think it's enough to overcome the "Weird" thing, which the more I think about, has to be one of the cleverest moves that could have been made.

They've still got "Creepy fucker" up their sleeve too. Game on.

Ah please god they'll draw that out as well. I'm actually going to put a few bob on Harris winning because I just don't think the republicans will be able to counter it with anything meaningful for the middle ground. I think either candidate winning would be a fairly fatal blow to common sense BTW, but still as a casual observer it's a fun watch

I have a score on with the missus that she beats him mainly because I think his shoot from the hip style will catch him out yet and he'll be drawn into saying something REALLY suicidal to his cause, maybe even in the live debate where she has a clear advantage over him. It could be a race thing or a gender remark but somewhere along the line he's gonna put his big foot in it. Basically if he sticks to policy I think Trump wins but the man can't help himself and we all saw his supporters goading him on to go with the personal attacks the other night. More proof that the average Trump supporter just loves the entertainment value of the guy . Fuck sound policies,just give us big dumb electorate a good laugh
