88Comrade2000 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Trump will be the voted nominee. That’s what the gop primary voters will do. Now, if Trump isn’t the gop candidate to face Biden in the fall; that won’t happen until the gop convention where they go with someone else. I don’t see that happening. Maga would explode and start killing the delegates, who would deny Trump. If Maga remain calm and don’t start killing; they will stay at home. I don’t see the gop risking being killed or having Maga staying home. So, when the voters give him the nomination; they will stay with Trumps. Even if Trump is in a jail cell.

FootballZombie Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Getting Carlson is a direct shot at Fox and is clearly trying to take a bite outta their ratings. I'm sure Murdoch will take that well in the coming days... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can we not talk about this? Doesn't it seem like a huge issue that: a) 4 indictments changes things b) The other candidates aren't trying to win c) Trump himself won't even endorse another Republican d) Is it a Trump party or a Republican one? Conservative academics just issued a paper saying Trump may not even meet Constitutional requirements. So your presumptive candidate is facing: conviction risk Constitutional challenge risk And won't even talk about it? This is nuts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think Vivek is gaining a lot of momentum on the right, and shouldn't be overlooked with still plenty of time before the election. He's very well spoken, pushes the conservative agenda, is extremely civil and polite when engaging in these discussions, and even understands how to try to hook some of the Trumpers (pardons, etc.). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Assuming Trump indeed isn't going to partake, the three to watch on Wednesday are Vivek, DeSantis, and Christie. Everyone else is a sideshow.

Barry.Randolphe Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) let's be real here - those white supremacists in the south aren't going to come out in the droves needed for Vivek to win anything. He'll get votes in Indian heavy areas like Texas, NJ, Georgia, or Florida (especially the ones that love Modi and his brand of Hindutva), but that's about it.

Expecting the worst out of humans is hardly a sucker bet.🙂 But fwiw, my vast mental powers 😛 lead me to be pretty sure he won't. Now I know in isolation a double dose of Biden isn't a super nifty deal for many fine folks, but context of the current state of reality is a real thing. Believe it or not, I actually think it's most likely that trump will be removed from running via his legal issues in one way or another. One thing remains, for all the many and serious flaws of the dems as a political party, the GOP desperately needs a king size makeover from bottom to top. I'm not one wishing for a one party society, but if the GOP is going to continue to be the "other one" to the Dems, it needs that mega-reboot. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is the GOP reboot. Conspiracy believing, data denying, racist dumb ****ery is in the GOP hardware. They can reboot all they want...the hardware will dictate what OS can be run. At this point, all we can do is wait for that hardware to shuffle off this mortal coil, and hope as few of the flaws in their design made it in to more recent development runs as possible. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen the number of covid deaths leaning heavily towards them. Who knows if they some vaccine deniers are skipping their flushots now. Maybe seeing their doctors. Getting meds for their diabetes or whatever. Strong showing for a Darwin award by a group of voters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, yeah, unfortunately for this country that's more accurate than I wish it was. Second, I used the mortal coil line a little too often here in my early years so its nice to see an old friend back in action. 😁 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dems are expecting Trump being on the ballot and the abortion issue; to ensure reelection. Maybe that happens but maybe. There are Dems that feel economy was better for them under Trump before covid. If I can find that article, I’ll post it. One Latino was quoting that even though Trump says bad things about them, he’d ignored that because economy was good under Trump. Does matter what reality maybe, voters aren’t feeling any of the positive stuff of Biden. This election will be close and you only need a small percentage to flip. So, Joe has work to do and can’t just expect that Trump is on ballot and the abortion issue; will seal it for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure beats feeling the opposite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
