Whereas I think the opposite. Closet Trump fans stating intentions otherwise.

Well a week to run.

Trump campaign has suffered with this Rubbish comment.

Arnold has thrown support behind Kamala. Not sure if will have much impact on what is a blue state anyway.

I kinda wish they’d kept Biden gagged this week. His “garbage” comment is akin to Clinton’s deplorable comment. Dear god do they never learn?

At his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin yesterday, Trump told his supporters that aides had warned him not to use the phrase about protecting women because it was “inappropriate”.

He said he told his aides, “Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them”.

I know Trump has said some stupid stuff during the campaign, but this has got to be one of the worse things he’s said so far - the overturning of Roe V Wade + Project 2025 proves otherwise.

I’ve said it before, but women who support Trump are just imbeciles.

Found this great explainer about the electoral collage, and how it’s an unequal representation.

Now JD Vance is saying that he wouldn’t be surprised if Trump wins the “normal gay guy vote”

God helps us if these two actually win this thing.

Good analysis. I didn’t realise there was a movement by some states to give their electoral college votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote.

I can see how the system evolved though. It’s not necessarily “wrong” but it definitely needs evening out somehow.

Feels like Trump is getting a bit too big for his boots with all these comments him and his cohorts have been making. Like 2020, he’s under the false impression he’s going to win in a blowout no matter what thanks to his built-in cultdom. I’d expect there to be quite a lot of teeth gnashing in the coming weeks if Harris manages to pull this whole thing off.

This feels like a pretty bland end to a campaign, no October surprise? in 2016 and 2020 there was a major plot twist that consumed society every other day.

Still a few more days for something to happen :wink:.

I’d totally be for that to happen but being realistic it’s going to be uncomfortably close and not in a good way.

That would’ve been the Puerto Rico comment which would’ve been (up until Biden shot himself in the foot) a moment for Harris to sink it into Trump that he doesn’t give two hoots about Latino voters.

I’ve been wondering this for months! I’m still afraid that trump will win but stick by my prediction that if he does he won’t last the 4 years. He’s looking sicker every day and his cognitive state is deteriorating badly. If he loses hope prison is not too harsh for him! :smile: This man makes “I am not a crook” Nixon look like an angel.

Actually I noted that yesterday. He seemed really run down and looked terrible. He did note that he probably wouldn’t run in 2028 if he missed here, and mentioned age, so it’s certainly on his mind.

The issue is if he does ‘slow down’ during his term, people under him will start calling the shots and running the place. That’s not the first time that’s occurred. He is just a puppet.

Harris has had a large contingent of high profile people throwing support behind her this week so let’s see if that assists.

She needs to do something about this border and the two wars however. Time for her to break away from Biden and start making some hard calls. Biden needs to be moved away from the spotlight for the next few days.

Well what can she actually do about Ukraine - it’s not like Putin is going to stop anytime soon, and it’s not like the US can just send the army in.

I think what Harris needs to do is to make use of the next few days on those who haven’t voted and are intending to vote on polling day itself. Get those undecided voters onside and have them swamp the On-the-Day voting and that could lead to somewhat of a win. Polling indicates that most Democrat postal votes are in Rust Belt states where she has a lead on early voting registration whilst Trump has the Sun Belt. She needs to win big on the day to counter any of that red wave coming from postals.

And she also needs to make sure that she actually does something about the Muslim vote. The last thing she wants is Michigan (and Detroit in particular) turning Red because of Trump’s lies about peace when he’s a dear friend of Netanyahu. Cynically I fear Harris is beholden by the Jewish Lobby which is why she isn’t going any harder on Israel than she was initially.

Push the two-state solution and permanent ceasefire line and she’ll romp it home.

Tom, don’t use “Jewish Lobby”.

So now we have a Presidential candidate who wants to shoot his opposition, even though they’re in his party! What trump has said about Liz Cheney should make him ineligible to run. As for Arabs and Muslims turning to trump they will regret it if he wins! As will the rest of Americans and the World!

This bloke is a vulgar misogynistic pig yet is still a variable candidate. Fancy simulating fellatio at a rally.

If Americans think voting for a criminal (or not voting for someone who hasn’t committed a crime because they’re not giving them what they ‘want’) is justifiable because it ‘feels’ better then there’s nothing that can save them really.

And before anyone says this, I’m not running an election campaign so I think I’m free to say whatever I like about the candidates and their voters and calling some of Trump’s supporters as garbage is probably the nicest word you can use about them.
