    Lol. Yeah, Trump screwed the pooch so bad that he screwed up the great economy Obama left him.

    Trump has pretty much kissed my ass. He certainly hasn't done anything to hurt my feelings... Except his shitty policy that extracted a ton of money from our economy and gave it to the wealthy. His support of restricting the rights of my wife and daughters. Trying to blackmail a world leader into attacking his political opponents... And the list goes freaking on... So not so much feelings as policy. Honestly, I had a problem with pretty much all of his policy.

    The Mexico trade deal was fine. As far as I know. I won't be surprised when it turns out that was also bloated with corruption. But so far it seems fine.

    Russian Roulette works great until the wrong chamber comes up.

    Tim Walz told interviewer that on morning of November 6 he expects to wake up next to madam president. Reply, he won't wake up next to her unless they are closer than people think. Walz said sometime things come out wrong. He is self confident enough to laugh at his own oopses

    I'll take Walz out of the four of these rock apes, although when he said "expansion of Israel" I nearly threw up. Hope he just said it wrong.

    I get such a kick out of people that support him because they think he's strong. Stuff like this is what I equate with being weak, self-centered and insecure.

    He's like a jilted bf.

    As has been said elsewhere, the widely-held belief is that those who supported Hilary were so convinced of her poll superiority in 2016 that they essentially voluntarily suppressed themselves, which was what allowed Trump to surprisingly win that election.

    This year, it's conceivable that all the worrying poll numbers will likely drive additional Harris suuporters to turn out.

    Remember, if she carries the states she's expected to, the only "swing" states she needs are those which border a Great Lake. If she takes Wisconsin, Michigan, and (especially) Pennsylvania, she has it in the bag.

    Nebraska is a Republican state with a Democratic county, the blue dot. Maine is a Democratic state with a red dot. They are the only two states not winner take all in presidential election.

    Harris is campaigning for the blue dot in traditional fashion, advertising, supporters knocking on doors, etc.

    Trump is campaigning for red dot by telling Maine voters their state is a Democratic run hellhole. His addled brain can't remember the name of the Maine governor, so Trump denounces all the terrible things "he" has done in "his" state.

    The governor of Maine is a woman.

    For any other candidate for president, revelation of repeated unauthorized contacts with Putin and secretly sending scarce Covid test kits, not for Russian front line medical workers, but for Putin's personal use, would be the October surprise. Totally disqualifying.

    Trump still is treated differently. New York Times editor Bret Stephens said on so many words they hold Harris to higher standard.

    Has it been she, banner headlines in every newspaper, top story on every newscast. Editorials in every newspaper calling on her to drop out of the race.

    Whatever Trump does is fine. Not just with his cult.

    It wasn't that surprising. Americans have been begging for change since Obama and Trump offered it. You had an extremely unlikeable establishment candidate.

    Kamala should be acting as the change candidate. She's not. This might come back to bite her in the ass. She has not been campaigning well after the first two weeks.

    Tough sell for her to act like the change candidate since she's already in a position of power... I don't think that would work...

    Obama spoke in Pittsburgh tonight. Ridiculed Trump, asking if he ever changed a tire. Then kept laughing, saying he was trying to picture it. That's going to fray the poor fragile ego, since Trump tries to portray himself as Superman, even boasting of his beautiful body.
