2024 U.S. Elections | Trump wins
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Getting ahead at this point is a good thing no matter what comes next. Dems candidates also should always start at this point by default.
I think that RFK's voters are mostly 'couch' voters, people who do not like either party and will either stay at home or just do some protest vote. RFK's endorsement won't push those voters to Trump.
Trump didn’t make enough “use” of the assassination attempt on his life, at least for now.
JD Vance is not a good choice.
Besides, the GOP Convention was way too early in my view.
So Biden and Dem elites played a blinder? Maybe if they can win this!
He's not IMO. It's the wrong year to pick a Jewish VP which would put the Gaza-Israel situation right in the cross hairs. Shapiro comes out against Israel as a Jewish VP and the AIPAC crowd would come hard against him and if he doesn't come out against Israel then it's a big risk of losing pro-Palestine Gen Z voters that won't. E motivated to turn out. It's smarter strategically to pick someone like Kelly or Cooper where the issue won't be as flammable or highlighted.
A mixed race black & Indian childless woman...it's better.
All politics is identity politics. Policies are for nerds.
You don't remember a lot of these?
You didn't laugh at Lyin Ted? Even more so when the twat then fell in line afterwards, despite the insults?
Kamala is a pretty good orator.
Yes. I like Shapiro, but others would be better fits. We need to make sure that the war in Gaza less of an issue, because the reality is that it is.
Shapiro has compared campus protestors to the KKK and signed a bill that criminalises universities that divest from Israel. He isn't going to "come out against Israel" any more than Biden.
Well, 270towin had republicans winning by around 30 delegates last week, and now they are losing by around 50. Which proves one or both of the following statements are true:
1. There's been a significant turn in electoral momentum.
2. Polls are wank.

But Shapiro is very popular in Penn, which I think was polling even worse than Wisconsin and Michigan. He probably brings Penn to Harris, and thus she can spend more resources in the other two.
Maybe goes to show that people were and are concerned about really old, decrepit dudes being President.
They are childish, racist, and sexist names. That being said, even I think some of them are funny.
That, and maybe it’s too early to know. I want to see more polls, especially after the Convention.
You're not likely to see much variance on Israel policy among credible VP contenders.
If he can bring her Pennsylvania, I think that outweighs the potential Israel issue. But Kelly could be interesting too, as kind of the bad cop in the whole border discussion where he’s been one of the more outspoken Democrats.
She is a terrible candidate in normal circumstances, but the opponent is Trump and she is the last best hope. The shit show could've been avoided if Biden was sensible and stuck to being a one term president like he said.
For me Trump is funny from a maniac point of view of how a piece of shit like him can have that much support and say "see this moron and how people lap it up!! Hahaha". Then i think of rhe consequences and stops being funny
He would be funny in a 'laughing at, rather than with way', except for the fact he has 40m people taking him very, very seriously. It'd be like laughing at your village idiot, except he's driving the bus you're on, which is travelling a route along the edge of a cliff.
Come on, some of the nick names are clever and amusing. You can't deny him that.
Which ones? I can't be bothered reading that entire page. Sleepy Joe? Crooked Hillary?
Lyin Ted
Meatball Ron
My favourite is mini mike (bloomberg)
"My Bush" is quite funny.
I guess we have different humor over here. How is Lyin Ted clever?
beshear hasn't done or said anything similar, don't know about the rest.
Little Marco
Jeff Flakey
Ron DeSanctimonious
They are amusing. You didn't get a chuckle out of them?
Dotty Donald
Yep, I think so too. Considering the relative quality, anyway.
Trumps entertaining, intentionally or not. And he gets people talking. Gets people involved in politics and makes many passionate about it.
Isn't supporting Israel blindly the American foreign policy? Don't see a scenario where the POTUS or VP goes away from it, regardless of the party.
Overall, if you can get them out to vote I would expect Dems have more but on terms of those guaranteed to go out and vote today, not so sure.
Pretty much.
Yeah, he even gets people to visit iconic government buildings like the Capitol. The truth is people dislike him because he acts a bit silly at times and they disagree with him politically. That's all there is to it.
I wasn't asking you a question.
Don't disagree. People are passionate in their dislike of him just as those who like him are passionate about it as well. Both get up and vote because of him. Not sure that's a good thing myself but its difficult to deny his impact on US politics.
On both sides he has got people involved who usually wouldn't have been interested. And he creates endless media coverage, discussion, interaction and more.
