2024 U.S. Elections | Trump wins

Highly unlikely. Although it will create a power struggle within the Republican party involving ordinary Republicans who want to see the back of Trump and lingering Trump supporters wanting to retain their power within the apparatus.
Robinson scandal might actually cost Trump the state.
Even if it costs him a point or two, that may be enough.
He's in the middle of an election campaign, he has so much more important things to be doing than having another debate.

They have probably waited for hours… and then left this quickly. Their choice.
I mean, what did they expect? Gold? He was going to repeat what he has been saying for 9 years.
Are these two really the best/most popular candidates either party can serve up? I don’t follow politics close enough, but both seem equally repulsive to me, even though I’ve always known that about Donald Trump. Harris doesn’t exactly have a great record either.
Just seems that in general we as a species are becoming weaker and more useless with each generation.

Interested to know what about her record makes you finder her “equally repulsive” to Trump.
Trump is a criminal and sexual abuser, Harris used to put people like him away.
How are they equally repulsive?!?
I never knew Brett Stephens posts on the Caf.
Plenty of people actually did.
This repulsive piece of shit might be even worse than Trump. At least the latter is occasionally funny.
I really shouldn't waste time on this, but I'll bite. Please indulge me - how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Not too busy these days, eh?
It's Sunday!
Do elaborate, Trump is a rapist, racist, fraud, etc. What has Harris ever done that's equally repulsive?
There is nothing. This is just a trick Republics stumbled onto back when it was Trump vs Clinton as an easy way to get idiots and misogynists to take the lazy option without actually engaging their brains.
I’ve heard it from a few people I know recently and when called out on it, not a one of them can back up the claim with anything real.
He really isn't very good at this...
I hope none of you think you’ll actually get a response from the drive-by nonsense above.
Very encouraging. Harris taking 10% out of the Republican vote and performing better with independents.
nope, sure don’t.
I really don't understand the obsession with the candidates. Whichever candidate wins they will likely serve their party (maybe Trump less so which is probably worse).
Therefore, rather than looking at the candidates, look at what the parties stand for. If you can't get inspired by the party then look at the one that will do the least damage.
For me, its absolutely insane that someone can think "I know if the republicans win that they will make the lives of our daughters, sisters, mothers worse, they will likely make the lives of minorities worse, but you know what....there's just something about the way Kamala laughs that makes me not want to vote for her".
The full field numbers are 1% less in total compared to that head to head. And neither add to 100%
Self-censoring suicide like su1c1de is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. If there's one TikTok trend the rest of the internet really doesn't need, it's that one.
There's probably a "don't know" option if I had to guess.
There was.
Boring sunday, i'll take it?
You are two months too late anyway, this "both siderism"-thing worked better when Biden was the candidate, you don't have anything new?
I found something I can agree with RFK on!
There is a growing mountain of evidence that psychedelics, when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, can have life altering positive outcomes, sometimes after one treatment session. The key though is the treatment plan to ensure the "trip" is a guided one that is focused on the positive.
Sadly what RFK is supporting is for people to have the freedom and the liberty to experiment. Not to follow either guidelines or expert advice. So it's not that different from his posture on COVID vaccines in the end.
Of course not. Harris got obliterated last time she ran for President and actually had to face primary competition. Trump's grip on the Republican party is of course well known. In any other ordinary world where the system wasn't already rigged, the candidates would probably be someone like Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer vs Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis.
Nobody ever leaves my rallies and if they did I would tell them good, let’s go and make America great again.
2020 primaries isn't exactly fair though, huge field, and Biden and Sanders going into it with all the name-recognition in the world, how are you supposed to break through?
That said, Haley would likely be a stronger candidate for republicans, same with Whitmer for dems, true.
If you watched the 2020 primaries, it was fairly evident Harris was a weak candidate. If she had the quality, it would've easily shone through given that the two leaders were very old.
I watched some of it, in fact, i have already acknowledged Harris is not a particulary strong candidate, on the other hand, i think you underestimate name recognition.
Was there zero good candidates in that field? I wouldn't say that, but they all got trounced by the latter two, and then Biden trounced Sanders.
Harris just realized it sooner than most others, that it wasn't going to happen.
She was farcically inauthentic by cynically attempting to latch onto the Bernie fad, all the while attempting to remain grounded in establishment, corporate Dem politics. She therefore deprived herself of establishing a genuine political identity that people could connect with, and wound up looking like a confused clout chaser who wasn't ready for prime time.
She is definitely more politically wise this time by not mentioning things like medicare for all and other policies that will never see the light of day if she gets elected.
