2024 Election - Trump vs. Harris, important downballot

[postman1782]

Can you link this please. Even the highly conservative Politico said Vance won, so I'd like to see where fox news said he lost the debate...it's like all the people on here saying the "media" said he lost. The media like CBS who wrongly fact checked at least 3 times. Maybe it's MSNBC who has never said one good thing about a Republican. Or was it the media that ran the ABC debate?

Most of the 13 NY Times writers said Vance won the debate....those damn conservatives at the NY Times.

“Politico just published a snap poll… people found it a tie, a 50/50 tie,” he said, his voice trending high and befuddled. Even worse for the onetime Jimmy Carter supporter turned Republican Trump voter was that Walz appeared to clean up with independents.

“Um, 58 percent said Walz won and 42 percent said Vance won” he continued, his voice sometimes rising as if he were asking himself aloud whether this could be true.

...among independents.

...among independents.

Who to be fair are the only ones that even come close to mattering. Committed liberals or diehard MAGAs aren't going to be swayed by a VP debate.

Honestly it was mostly just refreshing in its relative benignity. Better that than Trump raving about Haitian immigrants eating pets.

Oh, you're back.

Are you going to answer the questions that were politely presented to you?

Also, can you please tell us who won the 2020 election? We asked Vance, but he didn't seem to know.

Trump's personality is vomit inducing but look where he (unfortunately) is.

Ivanka's tepid personality is attractive to a certain type of person. Mostly wealthy white people.

Trump is charismatic, Ivanka is not. Wealthy white people don't elect presidents, poor white people do. Just because Trump is a POS doesn't change the fact he has a personality, charisma to sell his con to idiots. Ivanka is in no way shape or form comparable.

[cubby]

Do you mean smart enough not to try a run at the White House? Because I feel like she'd be much more content simply running a shady business empire and lobbying politicians for the things she wants than putting herself in the middle of that again.

Yeah, lol, probably. That's what I think she'll do, too.

Ted Cruz Challenger Gets Another Major Republican Endorsement as Texas Senate Races Further Tightens

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger will lead a group of republicans backing Colin Allred

The backing adds to others who have publicly supported the Democrat as he closes the gap with Cruz a little over a month from the elections. Another high-profile former Republican Rep. to have done so is Liz Cheney, who said Cruz can't be trusted. "I know (Cruz) will say anything if it serves his own political purpose," she added in the interview with WFAA in September.

Cheney said that Ted Cruz winning another term would be "dangerous" and that she wants to "do everything I can to help ensure that the people of Texas elect Colin Allred." She added that even though they disagreed on several issues, the Democrat puts "the interest of the people of Texas first and foremost."

Jessica Taylor, the forecaster's Senate and gubernatorial editor, said Allred's fundraising and ad spending, coupled with Cruz being on defense on abortion and a trip the senator took to Cancun during a severe winter storm in 2021, have helped Democrats in the state.

However, he still faces an uphill battle winning the seat. A polling average based on 32 surveys from The Hill and Decision Desk HQ shows Cruz leading the race by 2.9 percentage points, at 48% to Allred' 45%. That places the incumbent with a 75% chance of winning a third term, the news organization argues.

Difficult to handicap this one...

Three more women have emerged with claims of having been involved romantically over the past year with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the longshot third-party presidential candidate who recently abandoned his darkhorse campaign to stump for Donald Trump’s chaotic bid to retake the White House.

No wonder Robert endorsed Donald, serial-cheaters seem to stick together.

I feel bad for his poor wife, but she is choosing to stick with him through his campaign to absolutely destroy his reputation and drag the Kennedy name through the mud. He won't besmirch the good name of Caroline Kennedy though, she'll always be a rad ambassador to Japan.

Donald Trump is dodging his pledge—following the July assassination attempt where he was wounded in his right ear—that he would “very gladly” release his medical records, according to The New York Times.

If he wins re-election next month, Trump, 78, would eventually surpass President Joe Biden, who turns 82 next month, as the oldest Oval Office holder in history.

Biden and Trump’s election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, have also declined to release comprehensive medical records.

The Republican nominee bragged to CBS News in August that he earned a “perfect score” on a medical exam and “aced” cognitive tests after the July attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I got everything right,” he enthused. “One of the doctors said, ‘I’ve never seen that before, where you get everything right.’ No, I have no problem. I’d go a step further, I think anybody that runs for president, whether they’re 75 or 65 or 45, I think should take a cognitive test.”

Did Donald even get shot? Is he healthy?

It's so strange how Republicans keep talking about the need for transparency yet Donald won't release his taxes or his health records or anything else specific while Joe Biden has happily done so without issue.

Actually it's not strange Republicans are cultish hypocrites so that checks out, actually.

[Breccia]

“One of the doctors said, ‘I’ve never seen that before, where you get everything right.’ "

This sentence is fiction. Most people pass cognitive tests.

Just going with the standard "when Trump says someone else said something, but never names that person who never comes forward, then Trump is lying". If that doctor owns up, I'll admit I was wrong. That won't happen.

The most bold and sensational the claim, the more mundane the reality is with Donald.

It's like when he tells stories where people call him "Sir!", because every one of those stories has been consistently pure fiction.

Just going with the standard "when Trump says ... something ... then Trump is lying".

edited that for you for brevity.

I love the fact he thinks you can have a perfect score on a medical exam. That is one of the few things that would be literally impossible to achieve as there is no such thing as a perfect score in the medical world. Within normal ranges? Sure.

Yes. This is an idiots idea of a smart person, as has long been said. Anyone with an ounce of critical thinking knows this is nonsense, but cults gonna cult, baby.

[DarkAmbient]

You basically did though. He did refute Vance's points and made his own policy clear. So if you're complaining he didn't hold Vance accountable you're basically complaining that he didn't constantly interrupt him.

If you think effectively countering someone's bullshit means being "overtly hostile" then I don't know what to tell you.

Did you want Walz to spend his entire time just "countering Vance"? Because that's what it functionally sounds like, and what he would have needed to do to actually bat down all the expansive bullshit. Which would result in him spending little to no time talking about his tickets policies and visions and platform, undermining both the point of having a debate and just shifting that criticism to, "Well he spent all his time talking about Vance and didn't tell us anything about himself!"

Is Republican Rep. Mike Collins of GA thirsting after Jay Dee Hamel? Or at least a heavily edited image of Jay Dee Hamel that shaves off his chubbiness and gives him a chiseled jawline, making him "hot"?



Hot Jay Dee and his Chisled Jaw that Rep. Mike Collins is currently thirsting over.

Yes, that's totally what I meant, Edge.

[Gorsameth]

So now they are gay for their VP candidate?
Republicans are weird man.

He looks like an evil Teddy Ruxpin. I can almost hear him telling Princess Azuria "I'm sorry you got raped by Newton Gimmick, but you'll have to carry it to term."
Grubby benefits get cut and tells his fatass friend "Don't you think you could cut back on the food to maybe 1 meal a day? I mean you can't afford it now."
