I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

Really? Trump is gaining support? Because Trump wasn't even capable of answering straightforward questions recently. In one event he just rambled about random thoughts unrelated to the questions and in another he stopped talked and just wanted to sway to music on the stage. Do you think that won over discerning voters?
Yrs Harris with her prosecution record of applying high sentencing for minor drug possession. As well as her fundraising for the bail of rioters?
toomuchbaloney said:I do pay pretty close attention to Trump. He is an old mentally and cognitively challenged man who tried to overthrow our republic and is trying to regain power. Don't you pay close attention to him?
I watch what Fox I can from YouTube because I do not have cable TV and haven't for many years.
Were you trying to make a point about Trump in the Trump thread?
A "mentally ill cognitively challenged man" was able to try and "over throw the US government"? Wow.
Crusades said:Do you think that if the criminal and civil charges against Trump landed him in prison that this would result on 91% approval for Harris? A win for her?
Does sound familiar doesn't it?
Were the democrats hoping for an outcome like President Kais Saied had? Jailing their political opponent?
I think you said the quiet part out loud there. Woops.
I don't think it means anything about the US elections. I just thought the few parallels were interesting. And what was "the quiet part" you think I said out loud?
Crusades said:A "mentally ill cognitively challenged man" was able to try and "over throw the US government"? Wow.

Yes. The mentally ill man tried to overthrow the government 4 years ago and he calls the inmates who attacked the Capitol hostages and heroes. Today he's too cognitively impaired to undertake a complex strategy like that but his sychophants are more than capable.

Why would Trump going to prison increase Harris's approval ratings? How are those two things related, in your mind? That is Trumpian logic.
No, it doesn't sound familiar, it sounds weird.
Which candidate is campaigning on jailing political opponents? Oh right, that would be Trump, again. Hey, everybody... look over there where you can see Trump... definitely not in jail even though he's guilty of a bunch of felonies and tried to overthrow our government.
Trumpian Logic?
See, this is why I don't post on political threads very often. I merely thought it was interesting to see what was going on in other countries, as in, "we're not the only ones". Not interested in any debates, or thinking it means anything with relation to our elections. The reaction I had when I read the little article was "Huh. Look at that." I wasn't doing any 'complicated' math there, and not simply saying A+B=C.
So, never mind.

I guess misrepresenting Harris's professional accomplishments is the most that we can expect from Trump supporters at this point.

You quoted me. I didn't address your remarks and the comment you quoted was directed specifically to another member (Crusades).
There's a misunderstanding here.

Okay. Sorry. I seldom come here and don't actually follow all the election back-and-forth posts on this site, so obviously I missed something by skipping comments.
Truthfully, and I'm sure you can tell, I'm not a fan of politics or politicians!

It's difficult to be a fan of politics in the era of Trump.

You describe what some may think is happening to Trump. Aggressive prosecuting a political opponent.

Sounds like another Trump con.
