The Real timschochet

I think the polling is too conservative because they’re underestimating the number of likely voters. Think of this as the “Swift effect” but it’s not just her.

I don’t think it’s OK if it’s true. But can you come up with an obvious example in which Kamala Harris should have been fact checked? And please don’t bring up Charlottesville because that’s not obvious at all.

You think that excuses Trump? He’s a national figure that millions of people listen to. When he says it it is far more important than when some dude at a city council meeting says it. If some Hatian little kid gets beat up at school, if any Haitians in Springfield are harmed, that’s partly on Trump.

You just called for the rounding up and deporting of thousands of Haitian migrants who are here legally and who have done nothing wrong. And why? Because they’re Haitian? Because you’re afraid of them? Because you don’t want them here? Your pov is disgusting.

Well you’ve certainly put your view forward. Kudos to your honesty, I’ll be honest too: I find your position on this issue to be repulsive, ignorant, and rooted in bigotry and fear. I sincerely hope and believe that the public will reject your viewpoint and regard it as anti-American. Guess we’ll find out soon.

Does it matter to you at all that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield came here through legal means? That they’re not undocumented?

Saints it’s great to read your posts after such a long time. Hope you and yours are well! You’ve been sorely missed

Haitian immigrants in Springfield are concerned for their lives. They’re getting death threats. What the hell are we doing here? How can anyone think this is OK?

Apparently JD Vance once again repeated the Haitian lie on Meet the Press this morning. Trump has gotten away with so many outrageous, absurd and offensive claims over the years. He makes them and then we (his opponents) think THIS will be the one that gets him, the public won’t accept this. But then they do. It’s forgotten because things are expensive or some other reason. But maybe, finally, the tide has turned?

Didn’t he admit this months ago?

Yeah, I think the PM of Germany did just fine

I run my mouth all the time. And I’m usually right (especially when I’m discussing stuff with you.) OK I read the DOJ statistics and violent crime is up. It’s nowhere near the panicky levels that Trump is claiming it is, we’re still overall at historically low numbers compared to the 70s and before, and in any case it has nothing to do with undocumented immigrants (which has been Trump’s main claim and which you idiotically parrot several times a day in this forum.) Every study that’s ever been made on that subject shows that undocumented immigrants commit LESS crime than citizens do. Finally even if violent crime becomes a real problem for us, Kamala the prosecutor is going to be better at dealing with it than Trump the convicted felon.

Where are you getting those stats? Please provide a link because everything I can find says violent crime is way down: https://www.npr.org/2024/02/12/1229891045/police-crime-baltimore-san-francisco-minneapolis-murder-statistics

You only think it’s funny because it contradicts what you’ve been led to believe. Nonetheless it’s absolutely true.

Well I don’t agree with you that any of her policies, past or present, are destroying this country. So we have a definite difference of opinion right there and probably elsewhere. And I think calling Kamala Harris a chronic liar, particularly given her opponent, really stretches the limits of credibility beyond any breaking point.

No. Most of what she said was either the absolute truth or close to it.

Not sure the Founders could get past their inherent racism in order to consider a black woman as their equal, but if they could they would certainly be voting for Kamala Harris in this election, because Donald Trump represents everything they feared when they put this country together.

Shes much more aware and informed than Trump ever could be. Also let’s be frank: she’s tough; he’s weak. Kamala Harris has the respect of world leaders; they laugh at Trump and look at him with contempt.

She could make a dozen errors about the military but at least she’s not disrespectful to them the way Trump was at Arlington or when he called them losers and suckers. She supports those in uniform; he doesn’t: Kamala is patriotic and positive about this country; Trump isn’t. Pretty obvious who the pro-America candidate is,

Fair enough. Still an unlikely outcome.

In another thread I made the comparison between Loomer and Melisandre from Game of Thrones- the Red Woman! The night is dark and full of terrors.

You mean my opinion about her approval? I’m mild compared to some of the crap I read on a daily basis, including from Trump. Perhaps I should have written: “Kamala Harris is the greatest candidate in the history of candidates! Nobody’s ever seen a candidate like this. They tell me, “Sir, she’s the best ever!” Sound familiar? I do have a high opinion of her. Why not? If @jerryskids is right and she really is a Marxist and incompetent then I’ll be disappointed. I’ve been disappointed before. I hope for the best. (I should add: that if she really is a Marxist then I kind of hope she IS incompetent, lol.)

Lol I’m damn serious buddy. I’m just grading on a curve. We’re a badly divided society. Nearly half the public is going to hate any Democrat and the other half any Republican. I was thinking the other day that right after 9/11 George W got 90% approval- would that happen today? I wonder.

It’s actually very rare to win the popular vote and lose the election. I think it’s happened only twice: 2000 and 2016. Unlikely it will happen this time,
