CitizenVectron Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Just now, CastletonSnob said: I read that there was a poll that said Harris is leading nationally by 8 points. I'm not saying to get complacent, but it looks like the election is slowly, but surely inching away from Trump's grasp. If (and a giant if) Harris won the national vote by 8% (or even 6%) then she almost certainly wins the election. But it could still be very close if those votes are just pumped up numbers on the coasts, and if the blue wall states are similar to last election.

God I hope so, and I hope this campaign team keeps everyone energized and ready and excited to vote, rather than getting overconfident and letting people think they can safely sit this one out and not vote because "it's in the bag" or some dumb shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Trump's problem now is he's got nothing new left. it's why they're flailing now that they can't run against Biden. Though Harris not sitting down for an interview might start to be a pain point if they can find their footing to push it and if Vance stops living up to his recent adjective.

PaladinSolo Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Dems have an internal poll showing them up in Miami-Dade by 15 points, about double what Biden won the county by, not as much as clinton won it, but considering desantis had flipped the county 2 years ago, shows a complete reversal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I don't even care about his "general news conference" because I haven't been entertained by him since 2016. Some people were scared of the ramifications in 2016 and weren't amused, and big props to them. I fully admit I found his campaign entertaining because besides the last half of September after Hillary's near-fall and the deplorables remarks, and after the second Comey letter, I thought he had no shot. Some people say nobody thought he had a shot, but I'd say even with complacency on his weird 2016 campaign, the two times I mentioned were two times I really did fear he could win. The rest of the time, it was entertainment. How naive I was. 4 minutes ago, finaljedi said: Trump's problem now is he's got nothing new left. it's why they're flailing now that they can't run against Biden.

It'll only be a pain point if we cave into it. She's going to do interviews; right now, she's assembling a late-starting campaign, picked a VP, and doing a huge swing state tour, which Trump should know all about even though he had one event this week since he doesn't have the energy anymore.

Republicans are always more willing as a broad party to ride something until the wheels fall off. Trumpism will last as long as it's a potentially willing strategy.

Does he not have the energy anymore or is he afraid of getting shot again? He did an indoor arena but he hasn't done much in the way of outdoor events since the assassination attempt. Also they don't have the money to do many big indoor venues (and have pissed off many big venues in the past). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Started out my stay in Germany with an amazing talk with the Uber driver. And forgive me, this is going to sound like a Jacob Whol impersonation but it’s not. Dude fucking loves Harris. When he first asked me what I think of trump’s chances of winning, I’m usually kinda scared when I get that question (people ask it a lot) and I’m like well I was nervous but now with Harris and such a solid VP pick I’m feeling much more confident he will lose. And he goes (slightly paraphrasing) “She smiles!!! I love it, she is always smiling. It’s so good to see that instead of the anger” and we then talked US politics and a bit about Brexit and health care etc during the entire 30min drive which I won’t bore people with. But he like isn’t even from the US and seemed legitimately enthusiastic. Amazing feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
