But this time is his absolute last chance. He might end up trying to run again in 2028, which would be hilarious, but ultimately if he doesn’t win this one it’s all over, so I’ve no doubt he’ll truly cause some damage this time, or at least try to. He’s got everything to lose, and an army of dumbasses who believe even his most obvious lies and will do anything he says. 

It's his absolute last throw of the dice for the republicans in my opinion. Unfortunately the GOP had to go with him this time as he had the base support that would have been impossible to better from any other candidate but I wouldn't be surprised to see them pushing him out if he goes on to lose in November.

 

I wouldn't put it past him to try and run as an independent in 2028 though if he can still stand up though...

Yeah, if he loses I’m REALLY looking forward to Republicans doing everything in their power to shake him off and stop him from being the nominee. Reckon we’ll see a real change of support for him as even his most devoted Republicans start throwing him under the bus in favour of somebody else, but him and his MAGAts aren’t gonna go quietly.

We might finally get to see Lindsey Graham’s prophesy come true

If he loses again that is it, surely.

He actually posted this a couple of weeks ago too so either he's got dementia or he just likes to keep repeating his bile because he can't think of anything else to say.

Although tbf his likelihood of Trump winning has now come down.

 

I'm aware some progressives are at risk of getting carried away - not least another outing for the long-coveted prize in some left-leaning circles of Texas voting Democrat for the first time since Lyndon B Johnson - but I'm aware the debate has taken a bit of wind out of Team Pet Eaters' sails.

Her life and time as First Lady have been so vapid and empty that she has to make up some controversy about her nude modelling, when the only people who would ever have a problem with something like that is conservatives.

Is it a picture book?

You say this, there was an article the other day talking about the somewhat confused position conservatives in America seem to be as simultaneously being pro and against explicit and raunchy content. This was something that caught a lot of people's attention earlier in the year where some were claiming the film star Sydney Sweeney being good looking was somehow a cure for being woke, which... I'm not sure that's how that works.

Harris/Walz are very slowly inching ahead in the polls, starting to break out of the margin of error in some.

 

It's still alarming how many people are still in with Trump despite seemingly endless mistakes and unhinged rambling, but I think unless we get a big October surprise that helps him, he's probably about as high as he can get with his numbers now. I can't imagine any swing voter considering him a good choice, all things considered.

 

Despite his lies to the contrary, he'll know he's losing. When he's in a bad spot is when he always comes out with the most deranged nonsense. We may be about to see peak Trump. God help us all.

we'll see..electoral college and those few all important swing states etc.

Trump gets the Guns and God vote, and there's a lot of it over there.

It is beyond baffling how things are so close when as a neutral you see the sh*t he comes out with. I read a post on twitter the other day from a MAGA saying if a potato was running against Kamala they would vote for the potato...

 

Unfortunately this is his base, they don't care what he comes out with or what his policies are, just the fact he is not a democrat is enough for them to vote for him against all else. For all the false patriotism and I love my country so much crap they clearly don't actually care about their country. I don't get it.🤷‍♂️

because things haven't been that great under Biden...inflation, cost of living, wars etc. Not all this is Biden's fault of course, but happened when he was in power and people want change...so we have an ex-president vs vice president..and which one represents change more. Trump can also point to his time in office and argue the economy was doing better and there was less war, and he's kind of right?

[steviewevie]

also..this election seems to be a bit of a battle of the sexes..men vs women (or white men vs everyone else).

[FloopFiller]

I’m not sure exactly how much baring down ticket races have on the main election but it would be very funny if this current scandal involving Mark Robinson ended up costing Trump North Carolina.

 

Think a lot of people are clenching for whatever the possible October surprise ends up being. Given how piss poor all their Harris/Walz attacks have been thus far I doubt they’ve got something huge in the chamber, but timing is everything with this kind of stuff so who knows. I can’t imagine there being anything that could realistically damage Trump at this point tbh.

Nate finally falls into line with everyone else

How long before Trump decides he needs another debate?

The first part of this with Biden have challenges during 2021-23 is why I thought a Republican could win, but I felt more confident if it was a non-Trump candidate.

 

This campaign has already been all over the place first with Biden's disintegration in the debate and then being made to pull out to give Harris the number one position. But right now, Trump is in a difficult moment. Not impossible he wins but he's really getting in his own way with bollocks like the pet-eating stuff.

Really loving watching Trump’s campaign fall in real time by using his stock ticker. Passed an all time low today
