I appreciate the POVs. I was aware that the donors cut off their funding to Biden. Megan Kelly actually did some excellent report on this...basically breaking down the timeline and explaining that when Biden was face to face with the donors turning on him, he backed out.
Man I wish we had Biden from 15 years ago. But I digress.
No arguing here....Kamala is a joke. Her whole thing will be 'at least I'm not Trump.'
Real question...what would a second Trump presidency look like? More tax cuts? extended tax cuts? I imagine his biggest strength has to be the economy?
#42 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 47 weeks ago
Well explain the large boosts in the polls then. And the massive influx of donations to the Harris campaign. They seem to have the momentum, don't you agree?
Then again, Trump hasn't gone on offense yet. Kamala has said a lot of dumb shit. I just don't know if anything matters anymore. It's like we're voting on homecoming kind and queen. Policy and substance do not matter.

I thought Trump was unstoppable.
Also, anyone notice how substance less 2024 campaigning has been? Not a word about policy. This is stupid.
Really? Walz is like the worst pick she could have made? MN was all but guarunteed, and he's ultra liberal. How is that going to help in AZ and PA, states most polls still show Trump leading in. This doesn't give her AZ or GA. I don't think it helps in either WI or MI. She needs to win all of these states to win the election, and after the initial shock of her nomination wears off, the polls are gonna continue to show what they have - she's losing in the battleground states. Maybe that will change, but the guy who stood by and watched as Minneapolis burned in 2020 isn't going to go over well with middle America. Kelly or Shapiro would have given her the edge she needs, Walz does none of that.
I'm just commenting on the alleged polls which could be meaningless..they all say she's winning everywhere.
Your comment about 'middle America' puzzles me a bit. Tim Walz is a governor in middle America.
I think and actually hope you're right. I don't want this stupid shit anymore. I dislike Trump vehemently...but Kamala?! Are you a woman? check. Are you a minority? Check. That's all the qualification you need. I'd be called a racist or sexist for saying this outloud.
I have dreaded November for at least a year. And I'm a total hypocrite for saying so...but I think I've voting for Trump.

So we're a little under a week since Biden's drop out.
All we've gotten so far is Biden with a giant bruise on his face telling why he dropped out. Trump is pretty much who he's always been, ugly.
Is this going to be the most substance less clash of two presidential candidates ever? No debates (which admittedly has become worthless).
What a futile exercise this will all be.
Edit: also, Kamala is just automatically on the ballot.
#46 Re: The Sunset Strip » House of The Dragon » 49 weeks ago
Interesting take Flagg...house of dragon is the only show my wife and i make it a point to watch these days. A rare shared interest in a tv show that we haven't had since the original game of thrones...we can only watch so many Gordon Ramsey reruns.
Despite the fact that I've always enjoyed the game of thrones series, there have been a number of loose ends that I never really fully understood. But usually, I just brush it off.
One of the things that I do suffer from are these minor characters that seemingly only get introduced for a sex scene later on. I agree, the kiss doesn't seem to make any sense. But being horny and your uncle/husband being gone for an extended and indefinite amount of time might do strange things to you.
I did like the scene wkere food and goods were just randomly showing up on the shores of king landing while their population was starving and poor. All the things that followed basically showed how desperate the citizens of kings landing have become.
The Daemon stuff is also confusing me to some degree. Whatever he's doing in that broken down castle is forcing him to confront his demons. Daemons demons? lol
In my opinion, that's something he had to do in order to bend the knee which is what I expect he's preparring to do.

You forgot Nebraska's one congressional district that has been going Dem for awhile. Other than that...I can see it happening...except my home state of Wisconsin would flip to Trump if 10k votes switch to Trump as compared to 2020.
Trump merely has to win one of the three (Wisconsin, Michigan or Pennsylvania) where as Kamala would have to win all 3. As I see it...those are the only states in play that matter as I do not see Georgia or AZ being in play with Kamala as the candidate.
Further cementing my view that Trump will win...midwestern men will not vote for a woman as noted in 2016. I'm talking about margins as high as 8-2 or 7-3 theyll go for Trump. Illinois being the only exception.
So yes...the question becomes how do we hold those 3 states if you you're Kamala.
#48 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 49 weeks ago
If he said that he'd be a real contender.
As a full day has now passed, and some dust is starting to settle...it really does seem like they're just anointing Kamala. All of my text and donation emails from the Dems now all say Kamala. They wasted absolutely no time. This tells me that this was calculated and the decision was likely made some time ago.
We will find out more in the next few days, but I still don't see how this is a good look at all. This is what may cause the red wave. Not that Trump is any different or the MAGAs changed at all...it's because the Dems shot themselves in the foot.
#49 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 49 weeks ago
Pelosi and Obama prefer an open convention while the Clintons and obviously Biden are kind of anointing Harris.
I do agree with Flagg's assessment on this level most...The Dems need the voting bloc that picks people based on race, gender, color, binary, non-binary....whatever...
If they accept Harris they, maintain that but lose a lot of Midwest voters (ie, Wisconsin, Michigan...maybe even Minnesota). If they reject Harris, they lose that voting bloc.
It's a very curious box they've painted themselves into...
Meanwhile Trump seems like he has unstoppable momentum.
I already made my prediction. President: Rep Senate: Rep House: Dem
Why would we care if Biden goes back into his cave at this point? For all intents and purposes, his party Julius Cesar'd him. What is he supposed to do at this point? The election is 3.5 months away.
The truth is there is no prominent Dem that can beat Trump except maybe RFK and they ran him off.
This all smells of desperation and to Flagg's point, there is no plan here. They Dem elites were really gonna try to weekend at Bernie's this whole thing.
I likely will not vote for Harris...I despise Trump So now what?
#50 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 49 weeks ago
Biden out. Now what?
