2024 Presidential Election - Take II

[Benjamin Grimm]

I can't see how he lures anyone to his side that isn't already on it at this point.

I agree. It's gotta be less about winning people over and more about getting them to turn out to vote.

Harris' numbers are looking better by the week (for what polls are worth). She's at least trending in the right direction.

Maybe what many feared to be largest downside to even trying the big switcheroo -- the short time between switch and Election Day -- ultimately turns out to be an advantage. Election seasons don't need to be two years long, we've merely become accustomed to thinking they do. But maybe a shorter sprint buoyed by younger blood, a new VP face, and a later convention bounce is exactly what the party needs and there's much less time for that story to get stale.

That said, three months in an eternity in politics so a lot can still happen and no upward pointing arrow points that way forever.

Kamalasanity steamrolls on. The Harris campaign has raised $36M in the 24 hours since it announced Walz as its VP pick.

And the Center for Politics now rates Georgia as a toss-up whereas the deranged madman was comfortably ahead there a few weeks ago.

The Center for Politics also now upgrades Maine and New Hampshire to "likely Democratic" from "leans Democratic".

Pelosi on Biden: ‘We did not have a campaign that was on the path to victory’

The former House speaker gave her most extensive explanation of her actions that helped push the president out of the 2024 campaign

Excerpt:

In her most extensive remarks yet about the political earthquake over the last five weeks, Pelosi said that Biden’s June 27 debate debacle and the aftermath revealed two troubling signs making it all but inevitable that Trump would return to the White House: The president was performing poorly as a candidate and his campaign operation was also flawed.

“My goal in life was that that man would never set foot in the White House again,” she said of Trump, pounding the table nine times for emphasis and to explain why she acted. She added that she couldn’t stand to see “an unfolding of events that were just putting rose petals in front of him to go there.”

[***]

Asked whether she ever directly told Biden that he needed to step aside or else Trump would win, she demurred.

“I won’t answer that question,” she said.

[***]

Pelosi said that she had advised Biden months ago not to debate Trump at all. She said she feared that the ex-president would turn the debate into “doggy doo” with so many misstatements that Biden wouldn’t look good.

“I want to go onstage. I can handle this,” Biden told her, according to Pelosi’s account Wednesday.

Trump enjoyed an advantage of two percentage points over Biden in a Washington Post average of national polls taken in July, before the president bowed out. Harris is polling four percentage points ahead of Biden’s number in a Post average of national polls since then, giving her a one-point edge over Trump.

Scared, too. They're retards. All they can do is lie and come up with moronic insults, the kind that you'd expect from an eight year old.

[metirish]

Haha yes I meant scared......so true , cries of stolen valor now , it's pathetic

The madman calls her "Kambala" and then gloats and takes a self congratulatory victory lap. He's one rally away from saying that Harris's mother wears combat boots.

The country's lost its mind. He should be trailing by 30 points.

Trump giving a news conference appearance now.... millions dead,
none of them would have died if the election wasn't stolen.

might be true, if Hillary was elected we had a better chance at avoid/minimizing/managing Covid a lot better Worldwide.

or were we talking about 2000? Lots of war and maybe even 9/11 (thanks Steve Cohen's lawyer?) doesn't happen if Bush doesn't steal the election.

[kcmets]

He wasn't talking about COVID, he was talking about millions who
died in conflicts that wouldn't have happened if he was president.

Tell me who you are, or stop challenging everything I say.

I thought they were his words, not yours.

sorry I don't take anything after "trump said" as anything other than fodder for a joke. Comedian thing. Also he's just a grifter who spews nonsense with no thought, so I don't give it exactly as much thought in response.

I mean really. What the fuck is your problem.

You took what I posted completely out of context and twisted into
some fucking speech qbout the last 25 years?

I thought that was our relationship.
Who IS this interloper?

He's very bad with satire or sarcasm. And he doesn't get jokes. So he gets defensive and then all hell breaks loose.

Coming from one of the other guys who refuses to out himself to me. He
goes to games with posters, knows all about this one and that one... but I'm
kept in the dark and made sport of for two decades by him. Two decades.

And then they laugh and say why can't you guys just get along.

That's not defensive, that's cold hard fact. New guy could be you on a tablet
using a cell service with different IP address. Wouldn't that be FUNNY!!!

HahHAHHAHhahaHA...

What a delusional bullshit fantasy. You abused me for like 10 years running, mocking me and challenging everything I ever wrote. If I wrote that Seaver was the greatest Met ever, you would object and say that it was Wright. If I then agreed with you that it was Wright, you would say "No. It's Seaver". And you're this forum's version of Trump getting immunity from SCOTUS because no matter what happens, at the end, your BFF Edgy will butt in and defend you to the death, always blaming everybody but you for all the mayhem.

Outing? You can't be serious. Unless you've published books or write a blog --not anonymously-- that's already known to many, many Mets fans so that your name's already out there, you've got to be a fucking idiot to "out" yourself in this context. It's the internet. And what difference would that make? It never stopped you from abusing me for more than 10 years.

I'm certain that whatever I happen to know about anyone here is stuff that you yourself also know. I go to games with posters that I like and get along with. Why would I ever go to a game with you? Why are you in denial about how you've treated me since like my first post? And do you wanna go to a game with me?

I'll go to a game with you. We can get matching foam fingers. PM me for details.

[kcmets]

Whatever. Unlike the three-dozen people driven off this marshland by
meanness, nastiness and know-it-allishness... I'm not leaving and if and
when I ever do it will be because I want to and not a blathering bully.

I helped found this place, I relocated and helped relocate this place a half
dozen times, I've paid for years of it's existence many times out of my own
pocket and most importantly I'm liked by most here and it's family to me.

Youse guys enjoy your wink winks, secret handshakes and ass grabs.
