Wikipedia is fine, it isn’t “losing prominence.” This is willful misinterpretation of a speech to make it sound more dire, a nonsense AI propaganda angle, and a bunch of ageist nonsense about Gen-Z that will be immediately familiar to anyone who pays attention to this kind of slop.
Dismisses it only because it makes himself look bad, if it were true that the state he’s in charge of was devolving into gangs of brown people eating pets.
I don’t know, it’s too soon to call it. We’re not even at the October surprise yet, probably Vance is getting replaced. Harris win depends on voter turnout
It actually plays into the Harris point of Trump churning through staff that he feels like aren’t doing enough for him. And I can’t imagine he removes JD and then puts him in his cabinet or something, to which I would expect JD to flip back to his pre-VP-audition stance on Trump and spread the word of what is happening “behind the curtain”.
I think every time Trump or Vance says they’re seeing reports from people about this, reporters should ask if Vance fucked a couch (and don’t sanitize it for broadcast literally ask “Did Senator Vance fuck a couch?”) because of how many reports they are seeing from people.
Literally EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR TRUMP AND VANCE are saying this isn’t True. So as a Free Thinking Republican that does Her own Research I can Conclude that EVERYONE EXCEPT BILLIONAIRE TRUMP AND MILLIONAIRE VANCE IS THE DEEP STATE!
He simply can’t say it because he’s being politically correct. As soon as Elon Musk liberates us from PC tyranny, it will be fine to call Haitians dog eating n-words again.
Biden was/is beholden to his donors, they threatened to cut him off and he had zero chance without their money, he wasn’t a strong enough candidate.
trump is funded by foreign dictators, billionaires, and domestic idiots.
They’re not cutting off his funding no matter what. So he won’t be forced to drop like Biden.
Plus the only thing keeping trump out of jail is he’s a presidential candidate, dudes going to do everything he can to hold onto any scraps of immunity he can get. Biden doesn’t have to worry about that
Only way out is through. The modern Republican Party is dead like the whigs, we’ll see what comes next. My guess is that (if we can avoid authoritarianism/fascism) more of the sane conservatives will partner with Democrats as a more explicit centrist party and progressives shift into their own party if they can develop a better local presence.
Except Trump’s famous “They’re eating cats and dogs” line came from JD Vance. The craziest part of the debate wasn’t even Trump’s to fully own. JD Vance quite possibly is worse than Trump in regards to likability.
So if Trump drops out, who the fuck in the Republican field replaces him? Ron Desantis?
It’s too late for Trump to drop out now. Many state filing deadlines have passed, and I recall reading there are some states with extremely early mail-in voting where ballots are already being printed. Trump’s only path off the ballot is if God exercises His Ultimate Veto.
Like. I remember something about how (at least in some states) you’re really voting for a party ticket. And then the party that wins gets that many electoral college voters from that party who then vote. And I believe the only requirement is they vote for the party that won the votes to appoint them as electorers, and that’s not even a requirement everywhere.
It was the small piece of truth that led to Trump’s false elector plan last election. The only reason it didn’t work, was his false electors weren’t legitimately appointed.
So trump could both not be able to remove his name from ballots, but still drop out of the race and no longer be the candidate.
It’s two different things with an incredibly strong correlation, but they don’t always have to be the same.
I didn’t bother to dig in and verify that tho, I may be wrong. But I didn’t spend the time to do it and went off memory because trump just ain’t dropping out no matter what.
It’s not that you are voting for a party ticket, instead you are voting for electors picked by the party, with the only job of supporting the candidate. (In my state, the ballots even say we are voting for “Electors For …” .) And in some states, once the electors are chosen on that ballot, the law says they must vote for their pledged candidate. So it’s not easy for a candidate to just drop out. Those electors may not be given the choice to change.
Yeah our system drastically need reformed, there’s too much shit that’s different state to state, and waaaaaay too much of our current system relies on people doing what they’re supposed to.
It’s just crazy to me we’re almost a decade into trump and Dems aren’t desperately trying to shore up all these loopholes.
This is how the snowball started rolling with Biden right after the first debate. I doubt there are enough R’s with spines to make it a trend, but here’s hoping.
To some degree that’s irrelevant at this point as ballots are printed or at least printing. No matter what it will be Trump/Vance people see in their pamphlets. But the more republicans think he should have dropped, the less motivated they’ll be to bother voting.
