The majority of politicians that are Trump's age are planning their retirements. McConnell, Cardin, Manchin, Romney, and others. Many Congressmen/Senators age 75+ are retiring. |
I’m glad that JD Vance at 39 is the youngest person in this race! |
I am a RINO that has been abandoned by the current Republican party. I, like thousands of my fellow former Republicans, cannot stomach what Trump has done to destroy our party and our country. Yes, in both cases, but only because I was voting against Trump. Had the GOP nominated a sane candidate then I would not have voted for Biden nor would I be voting for Harris. But both of them are far superior to Donald Trump. I think both were/are poor candidates, but bad is still better than worst. |
Death spiral? What is this thread about? |
+1. And I will make a wild guess that talking about Arnold Palmer's junk and men showering together at a rally, which has gone viral on social media and TV, is not exactly endearing him among women who are wavering or undecided. In the tiny biased sample of R-leaning women I know, the reaction to all this has ranged from a resigned look of bemusement to outright anger, which is amplified every time they see the footage of men laughing behind him as he holds forth. Lots of women, regardless of their politics, care deeply about how men speak and appear in public, and right now they are embarrassed of this man. Many would still vote for him of course, but it takes only 1 out of 10 to stay home or defect to Harris to decide the election. |
Manchin and Romney would absolutely be running again if they could win. |
It's about the overwhelming sense of JOY!, BRAT! and Coconut Trees! |
Considering Trump is leading or tied in nearly every single poll, I would hardly consider him in a death spiral.
It’s Harris, who has every advantage: age, personality, no criminal record, sitting VP…yet she isn’t a clear win |
+1. This thread is clearly not aging well. |
Will see next month. Keep that confidence. |
Guess you have not been paying attention. |
You think a barmy old man who can’t finish softball interviews by friendly outlets, who literally stood on stage and danced for forty minutes to random songs he likes, who can’t speak without slurring or mush mouthing the words (when he can find them), whose policies are terrible, who has no ground game, no enthusiasm - you think this is a healthy campaign. |
And how many of them are registered republicans voting early in swing states. |
What's horrible is that half the country is ready to vote for him, because the polls are neck and neck, DESPITE Trump being, literally, in a demented death spiral. Men prefer to vote for a white demented death spiral over a non-white woman. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that THIS IS MESSED UP. |
Because racism and sexism! |
