It’s a new opportunity to scam the rubes. Easy pickings (F Harris/Walz signs and shirts).
That sounds like a Q fact that would show up in a message outlining that it’s intentional to show their focus on being child predators.
This is like the UNC vs FSU basketball game when the Heels came back from 20+ points down.
I mean, I don't think anyone has seen this kind of roller-coaster shake-up this late in an election cycle, maybe except 1968. LBJ announced his decision not to run for POTUS at the end of March, after the New Hampshire primary but before most of the Democratic primaries happened. But MLK was assassinated 5 days later and then RFK was assassinated in June of 1968 as it looked like he might swoop in and take the nomination from McCarthy. Which led to the wild 1968 convention, when LBJ maneuvered to get his VP (from Minnesota) nominated.
Honest question - what do you suggest they do?
I don't know why exactly that made me laugh but it did.
You could vote for RFK Jr.
You could simply not vote for President.
I hear you. The Pubs’ mistake was going all in again on the losingest loser we’ve seen in recent American politics. But it’s still amazing to me they’ve been so utterly unable to respond to what’s happening right now. I don’t want to get my hopes too high, but this thing could turn into an avalanche. I thought it was EXTREMELY unlikely the Dems could keep the Senate. That’s legitimately on the table now.
So you’re saying the GOP is the Atlanta Falcons?
I agree going all in with Trump again was a mistake, but he was going to beat Biden so it’s hard for me to blame the party too much.
I doubt it will be a landslide, although a 2008 Obama-style comfortable win is now certainly on the table (as is still losing the election). The one thing that has surprised me about all this is how unprepared Trump's campaign obviously was for Biden stepping aside and Kamala getting the nod, and now for Walz being chosen. If there's anything the GOP has usually done very well over the past couple of decades it's in the fields of grassroots campaign organization, opposition research, PR efforts to frame Democratic opponents based on their weaknesses, and campaign strategy. But so far this year Trump's campaign and even the usually reliable RNC have just bumbled and stumbled and proven to be strikingly inept at almost every turn. Biden's debate disaster just fell into their laps, they didn't cause it. Whatever has caused the decline of the GOP as an effective campaign organization, I certainly hope it continues right through the election in November and (hopefully) well into next year.
Well, one thing your cohorts could do is come up with another line of attack other than the usual racist birther crap.
I mean, Republicans are still going to go after Harris. It just might not stick as much as the attacks on Biden did, since anyone with two eyes and a functioning mind could see that Biden wasn’t capable of doing the job.
Remember, 1968 didn’t have many binding primaries.
I was texting with some friends about all the weird similarities there have been between this presidential election and the one in 1968:
