Those poll results back up his claims.

June interpretation: "Is it OK for Trump to be president even though he was found guilty in his recent trial?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June interpretation: "Is it OK for Trump to be president even though he was found guilty in his recent trial?" There's another possible explanation for the shift, though. Remember, back when it was revealed that Candidate Trump was being actively aided by the Russia? Republicans didn't change their opinion of Trump. They changed their opinion of Russia. Suddenly, among Republicans, the approval ratings for Russia were above 50%. One thing the Republicans have shown is their complete willingness to change their opinions on anything to "whatever I need it to be, so I can keep doing what I'm already doing." 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Deceased Congressman Wins New Jersey Primary A Democratic congressman won his primary in New Jersey on Tuesday more than a month after he died following a heart attack. Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-NJ) won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District on Tuesday, uncontested, despite the fact that the congressman passed away on April 24 at the age of 65. New Jersey’s filing deadline had already passed at the time of Payne’s death, resulting in the deceased congressman running uncontested in the 10th Congressional District. Republican candidate Carmen Bucco, who is very much alive, also won his party’s primary for the district uncontested. According to the Washington Examiner, Democratic committee members for the 10th District will select a nominee to replace Payne on the general election ballot in November.

Why don’t they say what it’s really like with Trump behind the scenes? Pence aide turns tables on WSJ over Biden exposé: 'Happy to discuss Trump’s mental acuity Hours after the Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report titled, Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping, a former top aide to former Vice President Mike Pence seeks to offer the newspaper some insight into ex-President Donald Trump's "mental acuity & fitness for office" as well. The Journal wrote in its Tuesday, June 4 article: "The 81-year-old Biden is the oldest person to hold the presidency. His age and cognitive fitness have become major issues in his campaign for a second term, both in the minds of voters and in attacks on him by Republicans. The White House and top aides said he remains a sharp and vigorous leader." Former Vice President Mike Pence's Homeland Security Secretary Olivia Troye responded to Wall Street Journal's report via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, writing: "Hope the Wall Street Journal feels free to reach out to any one of us who worked in the Trump Admin. Happy to discuss Trump’s mental acuity & fitness for office. We can start with the closed doors discussions on milkshakes during intel briefings, windmills causing cancer, what bleach does & doesn’t do & go from there…" Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Donald Trump's 'Foamy Saliva' in Campaign Video Raises Questions In the footage, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, urged his supporters to vote for him in "any way possible"—including by casting absentee and mail-in ballots, forms of voting that he had previously staunchly opposed. "Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5," Trump said. However, it was not Trump's words, but his spitting and the froth around his mouth in the clip that caught the attention of many on social media. One X user quoted a medical article that says "foaming or frothing at the mouth occurs when excess saliva pools in the mouth or lungs and mixes with air. Causes include drug overdose, seizures, pulmonary edema, and rabies. It is usually a medical emergency."

You aren't wrong. He is notoriously against paper straws and climate change regulations, bashing electric vehicles on the regular (even though Elon seems to be a growing friend of his.) That said I am surprised that he is trending so well or that this race is so close. You would have thought all the violent rhetoric of retribution would trend him down by now but it's still a neck and neck race. Me thinks 50% of this country is down the rabbit hole too deep to be reasoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I truly think it's Bidens age that scares some people, and they just think Trump is more energetic and entertaining and they brush off his most outrageous comments. Biden is finally addressing the border, now he has to do something to lower inflation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
