bickster Posted July 25 Moderator Share Posted July 25 15 minutes ago, ml1dch said: Not really. She spent much of Autumn 2018 openly campaigning for Phil Bredesen against Marsha Blackburn in the Tennessee Senate election. Her endorsement clearly didn't make that much of a difference, Blackburn still won comfortably. Only The Young is a full-throated anti-Trump protest song, widely used by Democrats at events. I imagine any eventual endorsement is being saved for the last two weeks when it might swing the dial. But it almost certainly wouldn't. There's polling for that (unbelievably!) Quote In January, poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek found that 18 percent of 1,500 voters were "more likely" or "significantly more likely" to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift, with 45 percent of all respondents fans of the music icon. Newsweek That just happened to be in the story I was already reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I have watched this 3 or 4 times and it's up there with the 'My uncle knew about the power of nuclear' speech. It seems like....immigrants are coming from mental institutions? Does he think asylum seekers come from insane asylums? He is an absolutely fascinating public speaker, it just doesn't make any sense, his speeches remind me of the Friends episode where they cook a trifle but the pages are stuck together so they merge together a trifle and a shepherds pie. It's like he's reading out two different speeches at once flipping between them with each sentence. And why does he keep making exactly the same comments about Hannibal Lecter. He brings up that film so often, it's so weird Edited July 25 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stability is the most important thing, for everybody. If there is instability it affects the economy and whovget shafted first in an economic crisis? The most vulnerable. There has been a wreckers streak to voters in the 2010s. Hoping it all is settling down. Give me the polished politician over the populist clown any day.

My, my, just how much we've missed ya? Yes, we've been brokenhearted Blue since the day you started Why, why did we ever elect ya? Trump-a Mia, now we really know My, my, you’ve put on quite a show (Verse 2) I've been angry and sad about the news I see I can't count all the times that you've let us down Look at where we are, you’ve taken it too far I don’t know why, but it’s harder to sleep at night With the chaos you bring to light (Chorus) Trump-a Mia, here we go again My, my, how can we resist ya?

Trump-a Mia, now we really know My, my, you’ve put on quite a show (Bridge) So many scandals, lies, and tweets, Oh, it’s driving us insane How much more can we endure? We’re all caught in your game (Chorus) Trump-a Mia, here we go again My, my, how can we resist ya? Trump-a Mia, does it show again? My, my, just how much we've missed ya? Yes, we've been brokenhearted Blue since the day you started Why, why did we ever elect ya? Trump-a Mia, now we really know My, my, you’ve put on quite a show (Outro) Why, why did we ever elect ya?
