Like reporting what scam Trump's campaign is sending through the email to get more money.

But it's more Bout what Trump is saying now through his Truth Social or even at his rallies.

Its just seems like his whole campaign is running out steam. I know quite a few Trump followers, even work with some and even they are admitting that Harris may actually win.

Of course they all say she will destroy the US. Cause WW3. Make the US into a Communist country. Etc. Stuff they are probably just parroting from their own echo chambers.
It’s just not very easy for him to brand. My first thought was that he has advisors that are steering him from making boneheaded remarks. But there’s also the issue that she can straddle the line between conservative and progressive enough to have consistent responses in front of his fan base. So given all that, he has to work with what he’s got and find some way to make derogatory of her.
Yeah. Problem is his brand is wearing thin now with his own supporters. He just isn't adding anything new that isn't ridiculous to back him up with. No one really believes a group of people are eating cats and dogs in Ohio. At this point he is just repeating the same stuff at every rally. So if you saw one, you have seen them all.
I wouldn't put too much stock in that. His rallies are more like a carnival or tailgate than actual political events, most of the attendees are just there to party in any case.
I only put some stock into it and the reason is because he really did have packed rallies. He really did have lively ones. The ones he is having he is struggling to fill and alot are in fact leaving them before Trump is done.
I got nothing to say here.

So this is more on a vibe than anything but is anyone else getting the impression that Vance is the actual candidate and the Heritage Society guys who run MAGA are planning to dump Trump pretty much immediately after the election? It really feels like Vance is doing the actual election stuff and they're just leaving Trump to run his sideshow.

I think it’s impossible to actually tell without opening the box if Trump is [s]alive or dead[/s] doing his nonsense because his handlers don’t care what he does or if he’s doing it because he is executing a strategy he decided on.

It almost like killing your own supporters during Covid was a bad idea, and people realize he not worth getting shot at for.

I wouldn't even say that. I am sure he lost voters from Covid and maybe some won't go due to possible shooting but I doubt at that numbers. It just might be Trumo isn't exactly saying or doing anything new. Go to one, you have been to them all. Maybe for some it's just gotten old.

State of the election: Fox News last night got bored of Trump's latest rally and switched to a Harris rally instead. Trump was rambling about other golfers gossiping about Arnold Palmer's dick at the time.

Somehow this is still supposed to be close.

Many of the same people who decry the lack of civility in today's society will be fine voting for the guy who talks about a dead man's dick to a mixed crowd.

This is the realization that no one would ever remove a president who is senile and incapable of managing the office.

So... Bidens age

That was a real concern for these guys, as Trump is now decomposing in real time.

I don't want President Trump again, but I also REALLY don't want President Vance.

The fact that this is even remotely a close match is proof that the United States is a failed democracy.
