The Real timschochet

I don’t think you’re right about any of this, but even if you were, when she is sworn in as President it will be your fault. Next time choose a non-insane Republican that decent people can vote for.

Yesterday on the Hugh Hewitt show Trump actually said that undocumented immigrant crime is genetic in nature- which is just ignorant, full blown racism- a throwback to the Nazi era. Hewitt tried to quickly change the subject. Nothing Kamala says, no supposed “word salad”, even approaches this crap. Our choice is stark here. You guys will have to live with it.

If we’re grading on a curve it sure does. And it shouldn’t be what I think. Listen to the man talk lately. He’s completely lost whatever capacity he previously had. I mean the guy says one crazy sh!t thing after another. You can’t seriously want that for President can you? Kamala Harris is a normal liberal. Not a communist, not stupid, not brilliant- a normal liberal. She will govern normally. You might not like her politics but she’s not batsh!t crazy. This dude absolutely is. If you can’t see the difference at this point it’s because you don’t want to.

According to who? You and other Trump fans? You guys need to stop. Seriously questioning anything about Kamala’s mental abilities or coherence, given the absolute embarrassment you guys are supporting for President, makes you look beyond foolish.

The 60 minutes interview featured many tough questions but Kamala seemed to handle them well, I think the public, excluding those that already strongly oppose her, will be impressed.

@Jon_mx has asserted several times that 25% of African American voters support Donald Trump, but has never provided evidence, The most recent polling I’ve been able to find on this is about a month old- it shows that around 12% of likely black voters in the swing states support Trump, while 82% back Harris: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna171467

New York Times/Sienna national poll, which has until today shown Trump in the lead, now has Kamala Harris by 3 points: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-takes-slim-lead-over-trump-new-poll-voters-view-her-candidate-change.amp She is now perceived as the candidate of change.

Interesting that there are folks here on both sides practically guaranteeing victory. I think Harris has the very slight edge but I guarantee nothing, it could easily go either way. I hope all the folks here guaranteeing Trump or Harris will show up on election night.

I would prefer the major sites to self censor ALL extremism, from left or right. I just don’t want the government involved- UNLESS- there are rare instances in which the public safety could be threatened.

If aggregate polling in Pennsylvania moves in Trump’s direction I will be sure to note it here. And he will then become the favorite to win, obviously. So far, thankfully, that hasn’t happened.

They over counted MAGA, which I suspect they’re doing again. We’ll see.

Such a great post.

Polymarket is the ONLY reason that Kamala leads by only 1 point in the overall betting markets instead of by several. It apparently believes, like some people here, that Trump is a lock to win Pennsylvania. But polling doesn’t show that.

This is a false narrative. And given Trump’s incoherence it won’t work. I’m sure conservatives will believe Kamala is empty-headed but she has opened up a 16 point lead among independents.

I’m guessing that the first set of questions will now be about the Middle East.

It was still the right thing to do.

It was still the right thing to do. And the exchange that Biden worked out that’s the subject of this thread was a big victory for his sort of diplomacy. I truly doubt Trump would have (or could have) accomplished it.

I don’t think you’re getting that she’s winning right now.

Really? Did that happen? I’ve already forgotten it.

Of course not. They’re only repeating the lessons taught them by the liberals who spent months attacking the Bush governments response to Katrina. I bought into that criticism myself. It took me years to educate myself- Bush and FEMA made mistakes back then but it wasn’t deliberate. Just as Trump made mistakes during Covid but it wasn’t deliberate. Just as Biden made mistakes pulling us out of Afghanistan but it wasn’t deliberate. I’ve come to realize that in the vast majority of cases the government is well-meaning in emergencies and when bad things happen it’s because of screwups, sometimes incompetence, but rarely maliciousness.

Im all for allowing it too. I just wish they wouldn’t do so much of it.

How is this different from most religions? Hasidism are extreme Jews. Extreme Christians believe everyone but them are going to hell (even Catholics and Mormons). Extreme Muslims believe everyone but them are infidels and worthy of death. Extreme Hindus believe that non-believers are a caste below Untouchables, mainly because we consume cows and pigs. And on it goes. The good news is most religious people aren’t extreme.

Not trolling I’m 100% serious

They look at me the same way.
