ROFL... sure... only you got it wrong... nothing easier buying than a democrat... Bob got convicted of it... Hunter too for tax evasion on his ill-gotten gains in Ukraine and China... only reason why they didn't go after the Big Guy, is because they said he wasn't fit to stand trial... although they implied he is fit to be President... he's still in the WH.... OMG... LMAO....

Oh, I get it - if you pile on enough conspiracy theories, maybe no one will notice the lack of actual charges or evidence against him. Meanwhile, the "Big Guy" is still in the White House, and your guys still can't seem to get an impeachment together. Maybe if they spent as much time on facts as they do on slogans, they'd get somewhere... but here we are, ROFL
I agree with you regarding the piling on of various deflections. The "gish gallop" style argument is common among the right...and from trump himself.
But on the other hand I do think it's possible that trump could get back in the white house. Pretty sure he's still polling roughly 50/50.
And if he does, that will overshadow the fact that the right failed to impeach Joe Biden.
Trump will most likely end his own court cases and pick 2 more Supreme Court judges. Republicans will proclaim the problems they had made up in the first place got solved. Haitians are no longer eating the pets in Springfield! The apartments in Aurora are no longer taken over by a Venezuelan gang! "The economy" has been restored to greatness because look at unemployment, the stock market and GDP! (assuming what weve got now doesn't get f*cked up). America has been "rebuilt" from Joe Biden's "destruction"! Everything will be "great again" even if it's exactly the same as it was.... the narrative will just be different. And it will be repeated until Americans believe it. The fact that the overall prices of goods won't have returned to where they were pre-pandemic won't matter.
The prospect of another trump presidency is pretty disturbing but it's almost worse knowing that so many Americans will have been conned by him..... again.
Hopefully I'm wrong but idk.
Anyway *end's rant*

I'm taking the fact that his rallies are extremely small as an indicator...
I'm just remembering another woman who the democrats ran as their candidate who was polling wayyy better than just 50/50, yet who still ended up losing the electoral college and thus the presidency.
Kamala might not have as much baggage as Hillary did though. She didn't have a surprise FBI investigation re-opened into her emails right before the election like Hillary did either.
And trump may have smaller rallies but he has been on some of the biggest podcasts.... which I think might reach more younger voters compared to TV debates, rallies, and other appearances.. (Although to be fair historically, younger people tend not to vote anyway).. But I guess we'll see what happens.
That thing with Elon handing out millions of dollars to voters in swing states also seems like it could be a wild card.
Oh wow, I had not known about Trump's shrinking rally audiences. Coincidentally I just found the above video on muh Twitter homepage.
Podcasts may reach a wider audience, but people in rallies are there because they want to be there specifically. So Trump having less attendees is an interesting trend possibly indicating popularity on the wane.
However, who knows. Could be a case of "Been there done that, don't feel like doing it for another 3 hours for the nth time" type of deal. Trumpers who've seen Trump and are still supporters but really aren't up to repeatedly making a day of what a significant portion is a snoozefest.
It's like the Matrix movies. I had never seen any, and then one day one of them movie channels showed all three in a row, interruption free. So, yay, I got to see them all in one sitting. And it was pretty cool, except by the end of that marathon I felt exhausted and kind of beat up inside, and even though that was over a decade ago, I still haven't been able to watch a Matrix movie again since. The experience just toasted me out.
On the other hand, I'll sit for a Planet of the Apes marathon any day - the originals. Although come to think of it, while I love the new reboot ones, they are a bit longish, so it might get a bit hard on the eyes sitting through a marathon of them.
So maybe it's something along them lines. Watching Springsteen play for 4 hours is great if you're a fan, but not so great if you're doing it every couple of months. Now I know it's not like he's hitting towns over and over again, but who knows how many of these people were willing to do a bit of traveling to go to different rallies, and just ain't so enthused about doing it as much anymore.
It is a good sign though.

True, Trump’s past presidency gives voters a concrete track record to look at this time around, which he didn’t have in 2016. People have four years’ worth of his policies, his handling of crises, and how he managed the country overall to consider. That history could make things clearer for voters now since it’s not just promises—it’s actual results they’re able to compare against current policies.
Oh, if pointing out the obvious counts as trolling, then sure - I’ll keep "trolling" with facts all day long. Funny how the truth hits harder than any punchline. Keep deflecting though; it's entertaining! 😂
On second thought, you can also do the first smart thing you would've ever done in this forum and just shut your mouth. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that. I'm pro-choice like that, I like giving people options instead of the classic "My way or the highway" approach MAGA likes to employ.
