2024 Presidential Race

[lostsheep]

Does anyone in their right mind truly believe Kamala Harris knows what to say or ask to a leader of another country especially in serious times like these? Herein lies the problem.

Gives me about as much confidence as it does to know that Trump talks about exchanging "love letters" with kim jong un.

You consider 25-30% "most" ?

The extreme lack of self awareness from some of you is astonishing

Most would called that 45% brainwashed.

Some of them are brainwashed, sure. Most of them just don’t like the guy and don’t believe he was a particularly good president. On the latter point, I agree. He was better than Biden and would be better than Harris, but that’s an incredibly low bar.

 

[C/O]

It's also true there is a large group who would choose Trump over what's best for the future of this country.

I agree to that as well.

Basically it doesn't matter who the democrats run, there are about 45% who are voting blindly even for a corpse if there is a D beside the name. Romney, McCain, and anyone else includung Trump have been and would be called the same names. These are hypocrits. It's their base party platform to push the country to the left.

I think the base voters are roughly about 30%. The remaining percentage are undecideds and other-option-hater votes.

There's a solid 30-35% base for both parties that don't care who the candidate is. They will pencil whip a ballot for their chosen political team without hesitation. Stop acting as if this is limited to the dems

Nice try at making it up as you go

You don't even realize you cemented my point about your lack of self awareness

If so, someone higher up in the Democrat leadership ranks will be making a phone call soon, informing them to get in line and show their support.

And they will

True, but I don't think the right would nominate a candidate as debilitated as Biden which was obvious in 2020, nor install a VP like Harris who has shown to be consistently unqualified.

Trump wasn't the leader in the clubhouse to start 2016, nor was he well liked because he wasn't an establishment candidate. Regardless of what we think of his personal character or even some of his policies, he went out and earned it himself from the voters.

What's best for this country is strong fiscal conservatism. More people like Rand Paul and Tim Burchett (who wants a balanced budget amendment) are what we need on congress and and the White House. Fat chance of that ever happening though.

I do not care whether they support her or not. I care that the democratic process isn't subverted.

They apparently don't.

No, Trump benefitted greatly from a huge primary and was able to capture voters as others dropped. He's good at marketing which is what a primary like that turns into.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Speaking of cheat…will Sidechick Kamala get the same press as Trump and his extra relationships? The left is back into another corner of no spin defending that one.

They don't have to defend what they won't talk about.

Burchett?

Maybe someone like Massey instead although Aipac will never let that happen

Look BB! It’s a Rasmussen Poll up there ^

I'm getting close to being a single-issue voter in favor of anyone not involved with orgs like that.

That is not his fault 22 - 23 people ran. Trump wasn't an exception to other candidates. He just didn't hold back on communicating what he felt was best for the country. People wanted that plain speak. He doesn't win if he doesn't have international business experience and appeal, nor if this country was in a better place then or possibly now. The democrat party is so scorched earth they are making Trump the viable republican candidate because people think he is one of the few with stones.

 

[FortSanders]

The United States was never involved in the slave trade, so I don't even see how its possible. Now something the U.S. has done was compensate the Japanese Americans for what happen to them during WWII i.e. camps. This is somewhat logical.

Under this logic shouldn't descendants of the people that fought in the Civil War get reparations?

Legally and logically there is nothing that is owed to these people, if anything they owe the U.S.

How does anyone deserve to receive reparations from someone in Tennessee?

I didn't say it was his fault I was expressing how it happened. Not sure you were paying attention then but he could hold on longer because of money and name recognition

Plain speak was just a bunch of things he knew some voters wanted to hear. He didn't actually do many of them and was completely unprepared for the job. His appeal is great marketing of a persona. His qualities as a leader don't match the marketing

I think he's the only one. Seriously

About 1:50 into the video, they show a graphic saying that 49% of those ages 18-34 identify as Republican or lean Republican. It looks like that's coming from Pew Research, but that doesn't match what I'm seeing. And just anecdotally, I don't see how that could possibly be right. Because if even close to 49% of voters under the age of 35 are voting for Trump, the race is over.

Now I definitely see more young people, especially young white males gravitating towards the Republican party. They see Democrats as the party that demonize them based solely on their race and gender. And the draconian COVID lockdowns that for whatever reason were most harshly enforced on young people didn't help. But 49%? I don't buy it.
