Politics The 2024 US Presidential Election

Key takeaways from day two of DNC 2024 with the Obamas

Y 'gotta admit, they are gifted speakers.
Watch the clips of their speeches in TFA...they've got some good zingers.

But even more important, they're speaking about some good comparisons and contrasts with the opposition. What to truly espouse to.
What's good for America...AND Americans.

----

I wonder if Harris wins, she have one of the Obamas in her Cabinet. (or administration even)
I know Michelle hates the idea of being prez...but maybe she'll take up a less, invested and targeted post.
And I know Barrack has been chomping at the bit...wanting to dive back in, on his own terms, of course.

On another note, I liked that the article made mention of Harris' husband...his background, speech...and if she wins, he'll be the first first husband.

They're doing it up right at the DNC this time.

 

Last note on the Obamas…

It was encouraging to see two intelligent, sane people talking about the current state and future of the country instead of rambling, raving lunatics trying to frighten the rubes.

nuff said

 

The total 4% bump his voters isn't going to Chump.
A third won't vote, they'll sit it out.
Some will go to yet another party.
And some will vote for Harris.
Chump may get a measly 1% bump off of the total, if that.. (many of RFK's didn't like Chump, that's why they were voting for Chump)

People aren't linear as media would happen to want.
Just like the US is shades of purple, with a touch of brown...there's no such thing as red and blue states.

 

After raising complaints, Trump says he’ll participate in debate with Harris

By now, I'll believe it when I see it...like UFO's.
He's so flaky and lies so much, who knows if he'll show.

Frankly. I'd rather get an alien probe...than listen to him.
I'll watch clips of Harris kickin' his ass, the day after.
It ain't gonna change a thing.

IMHO, you vote for her, for obvious reasons. (in no particular order)

• He's scum. everything most people's mamas said, do NOT be this guy growing up.
• He's a convict, multiple times over...both now and more in the future. (including rape)
• He's a fraud...proven for him AND his company, many times. Not just a pattern and trend over the years...but with malicious intent and a standing order in his business dealings.
• He tried to take over the friggin' nation. Admit he will try AGAIN.
• He violated the Constitution multiple times, defied his oath to it, and was impeached TWICE for it.

Those in itself are proven facts and should be reason to vote AGAINST him.
and in addition, my own biased opinion...

He's an incompetent idiot!!!
Any fool can see this over time. (and even his own VIP ex-staffers say the same, y'know...generals, Joint Chiefs and the like)
Uhh, the guy recommended drinking bleach on national TV.

AND, just a little thing, he is responsible for getting MILLIONS more of Americans killed, maimed or harmed by first denying a plague, then covering it up, then minimizing it, then then then...
The US has the highest % of deaths of ANY post-industrial nation.

Bonus negative, TRILLIONS lost in "damage control", pandemic impact...and specifically ordered a total boondoggle to corporate America. (wh0 took the money. turned away, fired millions and then raised profits afterwards)

So no, I'll not watch the debate.
The guy disgusts me and his voice grates on my nerves. (much less, mostly he lies...so why listen??)
Kinda like not wanting to watch the gory surgery, but wanting to hear what happened after.

But Vegas should bet odds that he'll even show. I'll take that bet.

 

Harris Can Win on Vibes — and Trump Knows It

Yep.
Why? Because he did exactly that in 2016.
The douchebag QB vs. the "icky" smart girl. It was totally Jr. High dynamics and decision making.

Not going to say sorry, Chump.
The worm turns...and you are The Worm.
Enjoy your brief time at the bottom of a bottom until some idiot eats you.

Harris has got the wave going for her and she's going to ride it in style.
You're not doing a play on Grumpy Ol' Men anymore.

She's the new deal.
You're the bad deal.

Buh-bye.

 

Cook Political Report shifts North Carolina toward Kamala Harris

I'm dizzy from the headrush of NC switching so fast. (that's a good thing, IMHO )
Then again, it went blue for one/two of the recent elections (I think it was for Obama, maybe against Chump in 2020, IDK)
So it's perfectly capable.

Problem is the GOP legislative branches there have gotten pretty MAGA and aggressive with election manipulations, especially gerrymandering.
So, hopefully, they won't interfere much.
If I were the Dems and Harris, I'd at least call them out for their shenanigans.

 

I want Chump to lose with less than 100 Electorial points
It's doable. If you've noted some of the states turning/flipping blue trends.
He just has to disgust enough people.

Here are some election maps...and 538 allows you to do your own.
I started with last elections pattern, then flipped according to the public sentiment I've read lately (She may even get Texas and Utah)

Saw the interview with Harris, she did well.
Some of questions they asked her were "gotcha" questions, but she handled it.

Meanwhile...
Why a 'simmering controversy' could doom Trump’s 'détente' with conservative Georgia gov

Chump's got another thing coming if he thinks Kemp is going to go his way for his convenience.
And to stir up a hornet's nest AGAIN on election tampering in GA. They haven't even settled the 1st on...unless people forget.
AND Kemp has to deal with the now majority of black/Dem voters there (times change, it ain't Dixie anymore)

BTW, if Harris wins, y'know damn well there will be Federal consequences...Funding, investigations, FBI all over the place.
If politicians do anything for decisions...they smell the winds. And Harris' flag is rising, Chump's is sinking. (AND Kemp's memory ain't bad...he'll recall the foul words from the orange mouth)

2024 Electoral College: No Toss-Up States | RealClearPolling

Now this is saying something, RCP is showing Harris is winning.
Because they're a very conservative aggregate site, who's picks and chooses polls to support their candidate, hard to budge them...but right now, Harris is winning in most.
And as you see on the No Toss Up Map, RCP has, Harris wins.

Boy has the scripts flipped, even for solid GOP pundits.

I hope the momentum continues.
I want this to be a slam dunk and then some. Too much is at stake.
Any doubt, there will be hell to pay, and Chump and his chumps will claw in tooth and nail, kicking and screaming.

 

Trump ridiculed after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence

Oh snap!

Now, no one who's on the fence will see this...they don't watch politics. (there's a REASON why they're undecided...)

Damn, he's good.

Harris shows that she's a smooth diplomatic player.

New poll shows Florida, Texas within margin of error in Harris-Trump race

Couldn't have said it better myself. Right on the money.

That being said, here's to hoping Chump goes below 100 in Electoral votes.

Ex: in my dreams... (ask, if ya want, I'll explain why)
Using the feedback on political trends I've been reading and combining the best of polls, leaning to Harris, given her momentum and Chump's falling and propensity to fuck up.

Actual maps here...



And the same we've just heard about TX and FL, I heard about Kansas (which has lately shown some sanity and discretion in activities...)
AR and MS is new to me, as well as IN

Those numbers for the Senate just flipped, which looked majority Dem for a long time...I don't know what happened.
Hmm...

We'll see...long way to go to Nov.
