So whether Biden meant "supporter's" or "supporters" is supposedly a huge deal, but the foul verbal stench from convicted felon Trump's rally the other day is inconsequential? Instead of providing the apology which Puerto Rican leaders had demanded, Trump claimed it was no big deal yesterday - we'll see what effect that has.
Your perceived direction of travel doesn't appear to be translating into attendees at Trump's rallies, where there are often lots of empty seats. Trump looks so tired and old now that a vote for him is effectively one for JD Vance anyway. Putting the deranged RFK Jr in charge of health to do "whatever he wants" might get some attention from voters too.
Rally attendance?
How about polling, betting markets, early voting numbers etc.
I genuinely worry for some folks mental health if Trump wins this election.
Betting markets?![]()
Going back to Biden's ambiguous comment, which wasn't part of a speech, compare it to Trump who:
- called the whole of America a "garbage can"
- described all Democrat voters as the "enemy within" and vowed to start locking then up once he's elected
- previously referred to Never Trump republicans as "human scum"
- said that all immigrants (legal or illegal) "poison the blood of America"
and so on - it would be easy to make a list as long as your arm. Yet undecided voters are going to have apoplexy over what Biden said, who's not even a candidate anymore?
As for how I'll feel if Trump wins, it would be the biggest political disaster in modern history if he wins. He'll surround himself with MAGA lunatics, with no-one sane to control him. He'll also implement everything he can to make himself a dictator and create a MAGA line of succession. He'll also appoint more MAGA judges to the Supreme Court, scrweing it for a generation. Ukraine will fall to the Russians, unbalancing the whole of Europe, and the climate emergency won't be addressed (see here for how grim it is already).
Whoever is US President has consequences for the entire world, so it's not a funny game to be looked on from afar believing that it will only affect Americans.
Spot on. But don't spend too much time presenting the facts to trump acolytes. Their cynicism isn't worth the effort.
