2024 US Presidential Election

For argument's sake, if Trump's success in office was due to eight previous years of Obama and Biden, then questions remain as to why virtually everything has gotten worse since Biden became president and why he should be reelected.
It seems to me that something pretty major happened in the world during Trump's administration that upended markets, supply chains, and people's very lives and livelihoods. What was it? A global something-or-other? Could it be that? Nahhhh. Must be Biden's fault.
 
Polling is a complete mess in this country.
While I agree with the sentiment of "don't listen to the polls, just vote," what we can take away from polls is that Trump is slowly but steadily hemorrhaging support. I'm telling you, this isn't 2016 or even 2020. Whatever leash the Republicans were once able to keep Trump on, even if it barely worked, is gone. The masters of spin that helped bail Trump out of trouble in previous elections are gone. 2024 is Donald Trump unfiltered, and it is going to freak people out like nothing we have seen with his man before.

More Biden's fault, but good news for Democracy: Trump loses bids to dismiss classified docs and Georgia election cases on the same day, which is today.

Victory is coming.

I do not blame Biden for COVID-19, but he did some heavy campaigning on the promise of improving the COVID-19 situation, which he failed to do, as nearly twice as many people died from it during his term, as they did during Trump's term - and while Trump did not have the advantage of the vaccines, he put its production on "warp speed" to be available six months earlier (January 2021) than the experts at the CDC had said it would (Spring/Summer 2021) be available.

Biden said in October 2020 that any president (meaning Trump) with that many COVID-19 deaths (220,000 at that point) had no business in the Oval Office. Biden had over 700,000 additional deaths during his term, which is nearly twice the total number of deaths during Trump's term (396,000). Biden not only failed to step down, he never even apologized for his failure to curtail the disease.
 
The Democrats did a lot of ballot harvesting and adding more drop boxes in 2020. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg's estimated $400 million Democrat infusion helped to pay some voters to vote for Biden back then.

The Republicans are going to do ballot harvesting this year to even out the odds. We have to get sensible people back to running our country. Biden's puppet masters are not doing a very good job.
 
Trump Media has fallen over >10% today.

It sounds like now is a good time to invest. You can only lose half as much of your life savings as those who invested two weeks ago.

Dump <--- you are here

One major problem I have with the current state of polling is how outright garbage and broken it has become.

Like seriously:

1. Polls have repeatedly shown Trump's standing in GOP primaries is higher than actual results. So yes, Trump is not as great as we're being led to believe when looking at his actual primary results. Polls have been overestimating Trump.

2. Polls, a couple of months back, repeatedly showed Dean Phillips, the now defeated Democrat primary challenger, with a better chance than he actually had against Biden. Basically wasting everyone's time with his challenge. He even wrote this on X/Twitter back in March: "When the NYT/Sienna poll shows me at 12%, you better believe it is flawed, "Only 5% even know who I am."

3. Polls have repeatedly shown Biden as weaker than he actually is.

And don't even get me started on the other obvious structural issues with polling, like sample sizes. Seriously, I see these "national polls" talk about how they asked less than 1000 people scattered across 3-4 states their questions and then base their results on that ridiculously small sample size... It's just shameful, honestly. I roll my eyes every time.

Polling companies seem clueless on how to fix these issues. Another problem is that nearly every major polling organization (probably all of them, though I can't be sure) still insists on using landline telephones for surveys. The demographics of those who still have landlines and answer calls from unknown numbers to take part in polls tend to be older, white, and conservative. I'm pretty sure pollsters have been aware of this problem for a while now.

For all we know, Trump could get absolutely demolished this November. It's too early to tell.

They really need to lock that feckin clown up now that he's lashed out at the judge's family.

Bill O'Reilly thinks the the Democrats need to be destroyed this November. He says he can deal with the liberals, just not the Progessives. You don't push the Green New Deal when you don't have the infrastructure to support it. Also the open border created by Biden has greatly damaged the US and also put our country at greater risk of terrorist attacks.

Biden (aka :asshat:) could have left well enough alone, but he had to reverse all of Trump's effective border policies, because he is a moron and does what his enabler's tell him what to do.
 
As a builder and celebrity, Trump has a far higher chance of having tinnitus due to noise damage than Biden.
All kidding aside, you can't believe Donald Trump spent any appreciable time close enough to an actual construction site to suffer either acute or long-term noise exposure that would induce tinnitus, can you? It's both hilarious and unnerving to consider that you might.

Bro thinks he literally built Trump Tower.

Of course you won't find him near a construction site. He has no clue as to which end of the hammer to hold.
 
Biden's fundraiser, with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton last weekend in NYC, brought his campaign 26 million dollars. Trump's Palm Beach fundraiser, on Saturday, April 6, brought in 50 million.

Neither candidate is well-liked. Many voters who support Trump, both celebrities and average citizens, are afraid or hesitant to admit it, due to backlash from those with TDS, their coworkers or bosses, neighbors, relatives, etc. The polls show a very close race, with Biden slightly ahead.
 
I have not. Have you ever thought of being a kind person?
You don't think you are ever mean on your posts? You don't even live in the U.S. and have to deal with Biden or Trump, and yet you bash Trump and not Biden for some reason. There was no Ukraine war under Trump because Putin respected strong leaders. Biden projects weakness on the world stage.
 
I think Trump would be less likely to protect his hearing against noise trauma, just as he didn't protect his eyes to look at the eclipse years back.

Lol, remember that time Trump took the stage at the United Nations General Assembly to declare himself one of the greatest presidents in US history and got laughed at by literally the entire world?

 
Mark Levin said that Joe Biden is a "certified imbecile." I heard this on the program Life, Liberty & Levin this evening. Mark Levin is often referred to as "The Great One."
 
Trump needs to pump up his grift as Trump Media has fallen another 11% so far today.

The Trump Media Meme stock dump will leave the MAGAs holding the Trump dump dregs.

I'm glad my mother-in-law has no idea how to buy stock.

Biden promises a better future for the 90% that work for a living. Trump promises the 1%, corporations and billionaires low taxes. They know he's a fascist. They want fascism.

Corporatism does wonderfully in a fascist system. They get tax cuts and deregulation and become full-blown oligarchs.

But they think their money gives them leverage. Under fascism, it doesn't work that way because the dictator's power derives from his personal control over everything, not their financial support. The laws won't protect them when the dictator can seize whatever he wants and punish anyone who won't toe his ideological line. See Putin. Also, ask Germany how this worked out for them.

Trump was president for four years, and there was no "fascism." We have been over this; his daughter, grandchildren, and son-in-law are Jewish. He brokered a Middle East peace deal that was very highly praised. We now have the madness of warfare in the Middle East and Russia at war with Ukraine.

Fascists like war, as do communists and certain types of capitalists, and Biden is a war hawk, unlike Trump.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into what anyone who refers to his or herself as "The Great One" has to say. I mean, honestly - "The Great One?" Gimme a break.

Trump is a demagogue, waging a war inside America that most MAGAs don't recognize, by using the tenets of fascism. He wants the same powers as Putin, Jong Un, Xi, Hitler, Maduro, Lukashenko, and Mussolini, to name a few.

That's the nickname he got somehow. He's a reputable person who has a Saturday & Sunday program on Fox. It's called Life, Liberty & Levin. He's a very bright person and backs up what he says with facts, kind of like Bill O'Reilly on the No Spin News. If you are a Democrat, maybe you are offended by his words. You would have to watch his program to understand his reasoning.
 
On Sunday night, Trump posted a bizarre campaign ad on Truth Social where his own head takes on the role of the moon – blocking out the sun and plunging America into total darkness.

I'm baffled by this ad and don't understand the meaning of Trump's head blocking out the sun and plunging the Earth into darkness.

So let's parse this: does it mean that Trump is getting "in front" of Biden and plunging America into darkness? Trump's ad also forgot to include the next frame where the sun reemerges. Eclipses are temporary, just like Trump.

Maybe the resident Trumpsperts (Trump experts) can explain.
