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.

And I just encouraged someone who was going to sit it out.  She had heard some of the things Harris has said that made both of us cringe.  She finally conceded that it would be silly to sit out an election because the candidate isn't perfect.  (She's decades younger than I and despises Trump).  In our purple state every.vote.counts.  It's too disheartening to talk to morons who have no inkling what's going on in the world.  My young friend is a super intelligent woman who was worth my valuable time.  I think that the people who have thought about it and then just throw their hands up can be saved:)  If I ever had to make up (with a gun at my head) who to support in the present Israeli war, I'm not sure anyone could help me out with that one but being a reasonable person, I would listen because there's that damn gun at my head.  That's almost the pressure I feel about this one because Trump is a very dangerous person and the lives of Jews would be made just a little less safe.  Michigan is filled with Yahoo's with guns.

  

 

Yes because he was Hitler that 1st four years but he forgot to make the US a fascist country because of his dementia. The greatest threat for Jews current day isn't Nazis, it Hamas terroris sympathizers that are permitted to walk the streets chanting "death to America, death to isreal" who conveniently "protest" on Jewish holidays in Jewish neighborhoods.  No one buts the "white supremist Nazi"  BS anymore. And that's why Trump will be ypur president again.

A network of accounts on the social media site X claiming to be foreign nationals who have illegally voted in the U.S. presidential election, according to new research from the nonprofit Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

The accounts have multiple signatures that suggest they are coordinated, drawing the attention of researchers in the final stretch of election.

Quote

The accounts are reinforcing baseless narratives about voter fraud promoted by former President Donald Trump and his allies. The most popular post, sporting an image of a French passport, has racked up more than 12 million views on X, formerly Twitter.

Quote

Multiple studies have found that noncitizen voting is extremely rare. Still, Trump-supporting Republicans have latched onto the idea and may use claims that noncitizens voted to challenge the election results.

Once again, Trump and his Republicans will tell lies about the election and use those lies as a basis for legal challenges and other un-American activities.

According to Trump, the whole country is a garbage can.  One of the disinhibited old men apologized and walked back his remark, the other one isn't capable of that secondary to his mental illness and he repeated versions of that claim over and over.  

I kinda wonder what happened to that trumpian "f your feelings" attitude?

Trump insults other politicians and celebrities.  Not everyday democrat voters. However the democrat party has ran their campaine calling Republicans " "Nazis, supremist, domestic terrorist, garbage". 

You think Biden making a non apologetic statement is a sign of his moral and cognition? LOL Biden forgot to not say what he and the majority of democrats think about Republicans. Do you suppose Bidens sharp mind missed the damage to Harris by making this comment? Looks like there will be more tension and distancing from Biden and the Harris team while she desperately attempt to hold on to a very fine line. 

Are you suggesting that Biden is "disinhibited" due to his dementia?

Biden apologized.  Trump did not.  

You have to criticize the apology to counter the reality that Trump cannot apologize.  I don't think Biden's statement damaged Harris in the least.  

No. I'm suggesting that you have a completely different standard for Trump than any other human.  We're about to find out how many Americans don't have a different standard and see if the voters, again tell Trump no thank you.

I have no issue with Biden's apology. Which was more a statement than an apology. I think that it was good of him to do that. The comment was in reference to your comment. Which seened to suggest  Biden made the garbage comment due to his "inhibition" which is a symptom of dementia or that his cognition allowed him to take accountability.  

Sure. I'm bias toward Trump. I can admit that. However you contrast Biden to Trump and maintain that Trump is more in decline than Biden. Even when left msm and democrats had to admit the obvious  and he was encouraged to drop the race. 

So you saying anything about standards, or differnt standards is quote the statement.

I think much of the media and Democratic Party would have liked Trump to drop out, too. At least before his handlers got Vance picked as his running mate.

Swing State Envy....... never seen anything like this before in Presidential elections the outpouring volume of other states residents to canvas in PA. 

Blakesee is in the Pocono Mountains where my Delaware County paternal grandparents mobile home was perched for Spring to fall  retirement living + my monthly visit for allergy shot duty in 1980's once PCP  who's Summer home was 1/4 mile away retired.

Philadelphia Inquirer:

New Jersey voters with swing-state envy are knocking on doors in Pa.’s 'Trump alley'

Quote

 

Jersey Democrats are heading for Pennsylvania, while Republicans insist Trump can win their state.

The woman with pink-tinged hair and the guy with an orange beanie came tentatively to their door. They are quiet Harris voters in these mountain roads of Pennsylvania, and Michele Van Allen and Ramona McNees have come from New Jersey to find them.

Of course, being from Jersey, and still slightly pumped up from morning pickleball, Van Allen is not at all quiet. She coaxes the pair outside with her high-energy pitch — is she canvassing or ranting about a car that cut her off on the Turnpike, same basic energy — and they all bond over her enthusiasm.

Purpose in the Poconos

New Jersey Democrats, though, are finding their purpose in Pennsylvania, mostly through knocking on doors. They're driving themselves over and back, sometimes staying for a few days or a month, or boarding multiple buses, most recently arranged by U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone.

"To me, Trump is a clear and present danger to my country,” said Ben Forest of Red Bank. "If I want to do anything to serve my country, this is the time.”...

...Uyen Khuong, the founder of Action Together New Jersey, has relocated to the commonwealth for a month to oversee canvassing efforts. She is working out of a six-bedroom ski chalet loaned by a friend, and has coordinated upward of 800 door-knockers.

"We house volunteers from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, California, and New Jersey of course,” she said. "If you're here to do the work, we all stay here. We have dinners together. I have made pho here three times.”...

A frequent poster on this forum claims that half of the country supports Trump. 

Not even close.
