Saw a comment on r/military that hinted at branch differences too (Marine Corps more Trumpy compared to Air Force).
2024 U.S. Elections | Trump wins
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Probably true since USMC are still the most masculanized of the forces. Air Force would be the least.
Oh. Surprising result?
Hard to say since we don't know where Trump polled better than Harris. Hopefully not in PA.
Walz wont be there at the debate when Trump will be sure to bring it up.
You know what he is like. He will be asked a question about abortion and will pivot to the Afghanistan withdrawal.
USMC is basically a crazy religious cult.
Absolute weirdo's the lot of them.
The interview with both of them is tonight.
I know that. But i dont think Dana Bash will be grilling her, or them, on this topic. If i'm not mistaken, it has already been recorded and was before a lot of this fallout re Arlington. So it may not get brought up at all.
And regardless, it is not for Walz to answer on the the Afghanistan withdrawal. He was Gov of Minnesota at the time and had nothing to do with it.
Anything to do with events during the Biden administration, she has to handle. To defer to Walz, just because he was a national guard, would be quite pathetic.
And im talking about Trump raising it in the debate, which he will.
There is a reason Trump is going to Arlington National Cemetery. He wants to make the Afghanistan withdrawal a campaign issue.
On the face of it, the Trump campaign may have botched this Arlington visit. But in a way, it will bring the Afghanistan withdrawal back into the news even more now, than if he had just gone and taken a couple of pictures respectfully.
I expect it to be a thorn in Harris's side for the next couple of months.
I don't disagree with the idea that it will bring the Afghanistan withdrawal back into the spotlight. Another reason why Harris should be responding to any Arlington questions with something like, "we have a law in place about photography and we should follow it". If Walz wants to opine in longer form then he should do so.
On the Arlington incident, all Harris has to say it it's another example of Donald Trump believing he is above the law, and then list off all of his convictions and indictments.
Underhand stuff, right here....
Who is responsible? The Trump campaign? Russia?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them
FFS. What is wrong with America. Once again I come back to: How on Earth has a human being seen the last 3 weeks of Harris and Trump and decided they prefer the latter? It's absolutely mental.
If people think "class" is meaningless in the UK, imagine this:
Its especially troubling given that Silver is giving Trump a 93.6% chance of winning the election if he wins PA.
I can never see these posts anymore without thinking of all the times I've seen them quoted by the most annoying leftists in the world explaining that according to marxist class dichotomy they are correct as not owning the means of production makes them definitionally working class despite their $250k per annum.
They need to listen to the Squarist-Berbist addition to that theory (homeownership usually changes your class position)
They might need to revisit Marx.
Vance tweeting this from his official account. Probably not the smartest move given that his excuse over the cat lady video was that it was a "sarcastic quip from years ago".
CNN showed some of the preview for the interview tonight I like how she dismissed the obvious trump racist bi racial question.
We know its racist and tired move on. And she said she would name a Republican to her cabinet, bleh.
Must be Adam, for the Republican on the cabinet. His DNC speech wasn't bad. He also wasn't an election denier. Never in for the conspiracies at least.
Yeah it would probably be Kinzinger or Duncan.
kinzinger for VA would make sense
What's wrong is that the Electoral College system gives far too much voting power to thick twats in rural America.
Yes.
But, put the electoral college aside for a second, 47% of the votes will probably go to Trump. That’s 47% too many…
We're about to be reminded just how unlikeable Kamala is. She needs to keep Walz out there as a shield against her terrible personality.
What happened? Is it the interview?
It starts in 15 minutes.
This is so relatable TBH. Just like an aunt taking you out somewhere.
Im nervous.
Something about her is not quite convincing in this interview.
The flip flops on policy - it is hard to believe as she is not telling us why. She could at least be explaining that 4 years a VP has made her more experienced and more pragmatic about what can be done.
And she failed on the first question. What will you do on day 1. There were no specifics.
How has her team not got her better prepared? The day 1 question has been asked to every politician seeking office since the dawn of time.

She has to be spesific. Tell us about some of these "Transnational Gangs" you prosecuted.
