His campaign managers are concerned he would say that publicly? Why?! Why do we still act like his cultists would be bothered? Why do we act like they have a fraction of humility and demeanour left in their bodies? They would love to hear that. Where the fuck have you been the last 8 years? Did you pay any attention?

The issue they have is, Trump can’t win with just his base. He needs to appeal to at least some percentage of voters outside of that group. It seems like he’s been doing everything he can to push anyone who isn’t already all in on him away since Biden stepped down.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

And yet Harris is only 2% in the lead.

America is a fucked up country. I pray for y’all.

America is three countries in a trenchcoat.

According to an interesting book I read a couple years ago called american nations, more like 9

Cool I’ll give it a read.

We’re like the EU but with a fully federal budget and laws, which explains a lot

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

I used to be in favour of a federal europe until I saw America go to shit with Trump elected in 2016.

Now I’m more ambivalent. The confederation model sounds better…

(Confederation is an alliance where members retain sovriginity) Not talking about the US confederacy

Half the reason Trump succeeds as much as he does is due to designed corruption at the state level. Republicans grabbing local elections and using them to upend the system. From psychotic school boards to regressive judges to grandstanding attorneys general.

Some scientists have posited the number could even be as high as 50.

I think of America more as a swarm of 50 plus angry pigeons tied together at the neck with string.

Trump has never won the popular vote, his 2016 victory was based on highly gerrymandered areas with low populations and a high number of electoral votes. America is being held hostage by wealthy donors.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

Yet he was leading in popular vote pols for a solid 9 months before Biden dropped out. If Biden had stayed, he would likely have won the popular vote.

We’ll never know, the only “poll” which matters is the election.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

A poll is just an estimate. Obviously we will never know. But were the election held a couple months ago (vs Biden) Trump would have about an 85% chance of winning according to the best statistical models. (Source: used to work as data scientist for a major pollster and obsess over this stuff for fun)

seth ,

What were the projected odds for Clinton beating Trump in 2016? I remembered it being nearly a sure thing in the reported research polls but I may be remembering it completely wrong.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

60% about

Problem is media reports on 60% as if it is a sure thing, when 40% is a really big chance…

seth ,

Yeah that’s much worse than I thought. I also remember thinking, “there’s no way that many people are so willfully ignorant and will also vote.” How wrong I was.

That is a problem they are trying to solve yes

He said the other day in the interview that his base is 75% of America, so…

They don’t care if he says it. They just care if he gets caught saying it. Big distinction. They know their candidate is a racist shit bag.

“That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it’s not how the campaign would characterize her.”

The most interesting thing about this statement is they have set Trump up to fail. Because you know he’s going to say that into a microphone at some point during this campaign.

I think they have a saboteur.

Or they’re just that incompetent. But you’re right.

20 bucks, he will say it during their live debate. If it happens. Last time I checked, Donnie chickened out.

nulluser ,

And it won’t make an ounce of difference if he does. Access Hollywood proved that already.

tate , (edited )

They aren’t worried about alienating his base. They don’t want to galvanize hers.

“Bitchy Kamala, that’s b-I-t-c-h-y Kamala thinks I’m weird. “

1stTime4MeInMCU ,

Seriously what’s with the spelling of the nicknames lol that seems new for him but now he does it all the time

NegativeInf ,

It’s all about branding. Gotta TM that Laffin’ Kamala for t-shirt purposes.

To be frank, if he ran with Bitchy Kamala, I would hope Harris co-opts it to Bitchin’ Kamala. Because I would wear the fuck out of that shirt.

Minnesota State Fair is in a couple weeks and the DFL booth always brings the fire with their shirt selection. I’ll definitely be buying a few this year.

It’s not about the spelling… Trump has trouble reading so he always sounds things out that he doesn’t quite understand or when he’s unsure of himself. It’s a pretty standard coping strategy for people who are still learning to read.

He does this constantly: Whenever he slows down (weirdly) during one of his endless rants it’s usually before a word he has difficulty with. Examples of words he regularly has trouble with: China nuclear, Venezuela, felony

In the past he’s said, “United Stage”, “respectered”, and often starts making noise sounds like, “ding!”, “boom!”, and “bam!” to distract from his mistakes… Like some elementary school kid in class that’s been forced to read out loud.

My personal estimate is that he has somewhere around a 4th or 5th grade reading level. After reading this, if you hear one of his speeches it will suddenly become so obvious that he has trouble reading that you’ll wonder how you never noticed before.

Everything that’s ever appeared on his teleprompter is the simplest words possible except in cases where avoiding complicated words is impossible. I’m certain he practices these special words with his handlers regularly and tries to repeat their emphasis of certain parts of words which is why he says some words strangely (e.g. whenever he says “China”).

I thought it was because he’s afraid he sounds like he’s saying “lion” instead of “lying”, and he doesn’t want to risk sounding complimentary.

seth ,

It’s for his base to know how to spell it when they regurgitate it thoughtlessly on all their smedia accounts.
