Quite a few polls have Trump receiving a bit of a boost right now. Unless Harris does and/or says something next-level stupid, I think we're all going to be waiting for final numbers to trickle in to know who our next President is. I believe (and perhaps I'm wrong), that right now the election outcome is about a 50/50 toss-up.
It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president than Donald Trump

Re: It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president than Donald Trump
As a non-American, the first and hopefully last election of Donald Trump was just something I watched.
But it was the United States of America jumping the shark.
Yeah, those early seasons with Washington and then Lincoln were good. This was where it ran out of steam, and its limitations caught up with it. In a nation so largely built from immigrants who hadn't been able to make their way in the places they left, aversion to coping with reality was a national gene. Like a fearsome dragon whose only weakness was something unthinkable, the United States was always less vulnerable to mere subversion than to utter idiocy.

Kamala was our last best hope, but even experiments in democracy come to an end.Physics Guy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2024 10:06 pmAs a non-American, the first and hopefully last election of Donald Trump was just something I watched.

I think ending the United States is an important goal that Republicans have kept under wraps. Maintaining power in a fascist state and the chance to wear high-top leather boots and carry a riding crop is an outcome they greatly desire.

Trump is encouraging his base to vote by mail. Do you believe mail-in voting is safe and secure now?

Re: It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president than Donald Trump
The boost is due to a couple of things. First, a ton of partisan R polls were dumped, while only a single D poll was reported. Second, in the shift from reporting “registered voters” to “likely voters,” many polls are overweighting the responses of 2020 voters who say they will vote for Trump. They are doing this because the polls underpredicted Trump’s votes in 2020.Doctor Steuss wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 10:01 pmQuite a few polls have Trump receiving a bit of a boost right now.

Re: It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president than Donald Trump
I could see Trump doing the Teve dance:
"If I were a dictator
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
All I'd have to do is point and
Say execute them and they would.
Boom!
I'd build a big, tall crematorium
Right in the middle of the town
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
There would be one long staircase going down.
Boom!"

JD Vance’s mother does, too. She was on Obamacare.
