I honestly will not be surprised if he doesn't make it to November. He has to be under tremendous stress that must be taking a toll on his health. His appearances may be propped up by Doc Ronny's 'little helpers'. A stroke or heart attack is not at all out of the question.

Unless he actually dies, he's making it. The stories are Pelosi and other Dems strongarmed Biden into exiting the election. No matter how bad Trump gets, the GOP won't have the balls to do what Pelosi allegedly did. And even if a few Republicans pressure Trump, death would be the only way he would not be in the race. I don't think Biden was unfit to run, but I do believe with the general perception that he has Dimentia, he knew stepping down would be best for the country. He actually had the humility to understand the right thing to do.

Trump's too arrogant to ever admit he's unfit and he'd never consider doing what's best for the country. At this point there's nothing the GOP can do but sit back and watch. He can't be reasoned with, while I know there's a way they could vote or something and revoke his nomination. They would never do it. I've thought Trump has sounded lost for a while now, but recently it's gotten more WTF.

Trump could have a stroke like you said, and if he became a quadriplegic in a wheel chair it wouldn't effect his voting base much at all, that's scary but true lol.

He's quite the orange villain but someone figured him out long ago:

If you're a registered D, you've got to love this:

Someone arranged for the Trump Tower in Chicago to display lit signage saying things like "Project 2025 HQ", '"Harris Walz Joy and Hope,” “Harris Walz Fighting for You” and “Trump-Vance Out for Themselves.'” My favorite, though is

Actually, that is a great example which is already specifically illegal in Florida, and they routinely set up hotlines (even now under Republican control) to report such cases post hurricanes
Pam Bondi did that IIRC. Now she's a toadie to the tangerine terrorist. Ugh…

I had high hopes for Bondi at first. I thought she might be on top of the ball. I didn't know it a goofy ball full of hot air.

It's ok, if he squeaks past the finish line and keels over, I present...

... "President JD Vance" :)

I think I'd honestly prefer Trump and I never thought I'd ever say that.
I believe it. I firmly stand by it too.
Trump is only the worst Republican... so far.
They are destined to produce far worse and far more effective destroyers of freedom and Democracy.

Trump's feeble incompetence actually helped us survive his Presidency. A truly evil SOB would not make Trump's mistakes. Next guy would used Presidential immunity to hang the VP himself. Not rely on some puny mob to do it. Also, next guy will pick a VP who is loyal above all else. Among Republicans, there will no longer be any dispute over burning Democracy down. Pence at least had that going for him. Even if he is too much of a coward to stand against his would be murderer. He at least had the decency to uphold the election. That will never happen again.

The next Republican President's entire goal will be killing our Democracy.

Trump is incapable of entertaining the concept of "what's best for the country." It's always what's best for him, nothing else has any meaning for him. Nothing. He's dedicated to promoting himself, period.

Shouldn't they try to court the union?
AFAIK he spoke at RNC but wasn't pro-Trump or anything.

Most unions, and many Dems, considered what he did a betrayal and let the GOP appear to be less anti-labor when they are not.

If he wants to try and cultivate political power from the Rs that's his choice. Don't be surprised if the Ds, who are the only ones who have delivered his org policy wins, just don't pick up the phone anymore.

Regardless of pro trump or not as union guys have said to me over the decades they’d prefer to vote R but they know that would be the end of their union. Guy went to people who do not support his organization that’s absolutely a knife in the back imo

Trump cannot drop out. He has convinced enough judges that he cannot be prosecuted while running for office. If he drops out, his whole logic goes away and he likely goes to court and probably jail for the bulk of the rest of his life. For that very reason, he'll be running for office again on Nov 6, 2024 for the 2028 election if he doesn't outright win on Nov 5th.

There is no "reasoning with" this fight or flight scenario. The most reasonable thing for Trump personally is for him to stay running for office for the rest of his life. I can think of several other country's leaders in the same predicament.

The head of the Teamsters doesn't want to be a team player, so he gets the cold shoulder. That's just the nature of politics. He did it to himself.

If I recall, there are other teamsters representatives present anyway.
What a weird vibe that would be... look at me, I spoke at both major parties' conventions, I'm a star! :rolleyes: Of course, the Ds didn't pick up the phone.

Blog about racism and xenophobia employed by Trump campaign. Shocking, I know.

It is shocking to the following...
@pcgeek11
@Greenman
@brandonbull
@imported_tajmahal
@FelixDeCat

Because they think racism is either both sides or the left is primarily responsible.

I wonder if it has something to do with this from earlier in the week.

MAGAs being the pleasant bunch they are are having a field day with the pics and video of Kamala's stepdaughter at her father's event. Because of how she looks. There were hundreds of MAGAs who were agreeing that this would be the trashiest 1st family of all time if Kamala won. And I'm sure the majority of them feel similar lol. Of course, they know she's not gonna win.

All while they would give their life for Trump, who lies every 12 seconds and cheated on his wife with a porn star. And his kids, aside from Baron are pretty scummy. From the pics I saw of her, she looks like she could be the L in LGBTQ, so I'm assuming this is their problem, well that and the fact she's COMMIEla's stepdaughter. I had never even heard of her before this, so I Googled and she's a model who hasn't seemed to have done anything objectionable.

The amount of shit they're throwing at her's downright disgraceful, MAGAs really are the worst of the worst. I know she's an adult, but I still feel bad for her, when Kamala wins the MAGAs will be ruthless towards her. The same MAGAs who cried every time the media mentioned Baron "you can't bring him up, he's a kid!" but had no issue bringing up Obama's daughters.
