Captain_Townsend Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 2 hours ago, Panto_Villan said: I genuinely think Biden trying to stick it out for weeks after it became patently obvious him staying on was untenable was one of the greatest (accidental) political masterstrokes in recent memory. There’s no way the Democrats would have been this unified if he’d stepped down a year ago and they’d run an open primary. Maybe that was the plan? Biden is a wily old operator. He let Trump have a convention attacking Biden for being too old then he stood aside, in one stroke pulling the rug from the Trump campaign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’d wipe the floor with most world leaders. So good that the Trump wife #3 once copied one of her speeches word for word. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Watched a few bits and pieces of the DNC. Most of it was political Pablum, for the most part well executed. The one surprisingly good speaker was Steve Kerr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aligning with Trump is the only way he gets a cabinet slot. No way in hell it happens if Harris wins. No idea if this will have any polling significance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted August 22 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22 Vance is prepping for his debate with Waltz by having "a friend who embellishes and lies a lot stand in for him." Guess it's nice of Trump to help him prepare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it's nice of Trump to help him prepare. Walz is going to cruise that. Vance doesn't even know what his standpoints are. He's like a flag in the wind. Walz last night: 'While other states were banishing books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours'. How can you not like the guy?

RFKJ certainly has appeal to those “traditional” 3rd party voters who want nothing to do with the two big parties. Just how many will abstain? Now that’s the crux of the biscuit Edited August 22 by Nor-Cal Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
