The election 2024 Thread

Published

I traditionally have a thread heading to the election, here we go.

Get out the popcorn for this one.

Quote

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to formally announce next week he is running for president in 2024, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

The governor's official entry into the Republican primary field will put him head-to-head with former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner for the nomination. Trump has already spent months treating DeSantis as his primary campaign rival, thrashing him with torrents of criticism over his gubernatorial record, his political skills and his personality.

Trumps campaign seems to think that there's a good reason to limit Trump's interviews and appearances right now. It's probably just coincidental that he's retreating after having a really weird townhall where he got confused and played dance hall DJ for a half hour before wandering off without hearing more questions. It's probably not related to that wildly cringey Univision townhall where he couldn't answer a question if his life depended on it, right?  Did you see the looks on those voters faces when grifter grandpa rambled through unrelated word salad responses to their concise and thoughtful questions? I think he lost some voters there.  

It's clear that there's trouble in Trumplandia when Trump is avoiding cameras and the spotlight.  Who do you think is making these decisions?  Is Trump, in his diminished capacity, still calling the shots? 

Trump not doing anymore interviews is the best thing he can do. I think he wants to but his advisors discourage that. He won once doing as he pleased then lost once doing as he pleased. Now he's listening to his advisors and that is very scarry for the Democrats that have relied on exploiting everything he says and his personal style. Trump listening to the people in his cabinet is great way  to win the election.

Correct.  Trump needs to hide if he doesn't want the voters to know that he's mentally ill, cognitively impaired and unable to carry out the duties of the presidency.  

Trump doesn't have a cabinet, he has a campaign team.  When he did have a cabinet, a high percentage of them engaged in corrupt behavior and more than 40 people who served in Trump's presidential cabinet have warned that Trump is a threat to our republic and is unfit for office.  Which of those people do you think Trump was listening to or is listening to now? Is he listening to the criminals from his administration or the people who wouldn't break laws to benefit themselves or Trump. We know he's not listening to Pence which is a big hint as to what kind of advice Trump might be seeking and receiving in his hour of panic. 

Yep. The demented and mentally ill old guy is now being manipulated by the ambitious felons and racists and white nationalists who cling to his political celebrity and power and his supporters just blow it off. 

It sure sounds and functions like a cult of personality.

Oh noooo. Being a Trump supporter has seen me be called all sorts of things. I'm telling you, nobody cares about being called the evil buzz words democrats and their radicals call us. Haven't you noticed? 

Are you sure you don't care?  You keep mentioning it so I'm not certain that you really don't care; especially when you characterize the words as "evil".    It is funny that the people who throw around words like Marxist, socialist, and communist for years are suddenly so sensitive about using political buzzwords. Have you noticed that when people act like, talk like, and plan to govern like fascists that people will call them fascists?

......... 

I guess we will see when the voters decide. 

Calling Trump and his supporters "white supremist......" doesn't have the same effect anymore. 

Pulling out all the stops depicts desperation and fear. The repetition and ad nauseum resembles cult like behavior itself. 

Are you making the claim that at least half the country are white nationalist racist? LOL. Get real. I would submit this to Harris "misinformation regime for review:. 

Perhaps a former white president should scold white men for not supporting Trump? Tell them they are terrible if they vote for the POC running mate? . How racist!  Could ypu imagine?  Guess what? That's exactly what Obama did. Scolded and patrionized young blk men for their lack of support for Harris. 

It's a shame that the young black men, the democrat' s favorite explot have had enough of left wing BS and lies. Telling them they are less blk if they vote a certain way andcare perpetual victims who need the donkeys to help them. When they have not fir decades. 

Meh. No one cares what far left democrats think and this will be solidified when Trump' wins.  Have you planned your PTSD therapy for a Trump presidency?

What a bunch of baloney. 

The meaning of the words Nazi and fascism are fully intact.  You're confused.  The right has called democrats Marxists and communists and socialists interchangeably for years.  Now they've elevated their own American version of fascism and they get all finicky about word use. 

I'm telling you... it's a bad look to project Trump's hypocrisy onto others.  

I'm not so sure. Apparently Ben Carson is the "blk face of white supremacy " and terrorist symps marching in the street calling Jewish people Nazi. 

You're confused

What does any of that have to do with the quoted remark?

What effect should it have to identify racism or racist language in a nursing forum? 

You keep trying to project things onto me by using inappropriate or silly and illogical examples.  Like things about cult behavior. It makes me smile.  

Did you imagine that I said that half of the country are white nationalist racists? Why do you suppose that happened?  Would you like to have a private conversation about your confusion? See if you can find my comment which gave you that impression and we can have a less public discussion about what you are implying with your question.  

Your remark really spiraled into a triggered rant. 

This must be a very difficult time for you right now.  It has to be hard to realize that you are no longer voting for a president Trump but instead for an likeable liar and ideologue.  Trump is unfit for anything other than a figurehead position. As we saw in the townhall the other day, Trump is happy with that.  He'll wave and dance and someone else can do the hard stuff.

You not so subtle suggest that people who vote for Trump are in the same ball park as Nazis and supremist.  Over and over. 

You don't think Nazis and supremist are evil? Interesting.  That explains why you wouldn't support the death penalty for Hitler. 

Nobody is sensitive to being called Nazi and supremist anymore. What are you talking about? The meaning of both has been perverted and exploited to no end by democrats.  The people who casually and frivolousley throw around a name that caused the death of millions of people.

You keep saying that there is racism in these threads when you are the member that frequently includes the color of skin of any given person and what they have in their pants. And completely unrelated to the topic. 

You have several time referenced Trump voters and Republicans as voting for the party of "supremist and Nazis" 

Perhaps your preoccupation with skin color and genitalia is rooted in your implicit racism all white men have? And the preoccupation with gender originates from your toxic masculinity?  Perhaps Obama can scold you on voting for Harris because she is blk? He's half white so he can play both ways. 

This is a great time for me. Watching democrats panick for the most likely 2nd Trump presidency. LOL. Or Vance (spoooooky)

When half or more of the country doesn't support Trump, I'll consider your exploited propaganda.
