Family is on Facebook saying he didn’t do anything. He didn’t have a chainsaw. But if he did, it’s because he’s a professional tree cutter. No word on who hired him to cut trees at his own house in the dark

Good thing they have district to look forward to

Definitely a net win for the Donald. There will be voters who were going to vote for neither of the terrible candidates that were planning on voting for RFK. Some of them will likely vote for trump knowing that RFK may get an important post in Trump’s cabinet and be inside his sphere of influence. I don’t think it’ll be a huge number, but even a 0.5% increase could make the difference in some of the battleground states

not gonna lie, i was pretty upset with the result of the lies last election... hoping it doesn't happen again

In echo of 2020, Trump claims he’ll lose only if Democrats ‘cheat’ (msn.com) setting up the excuses in advance.

If i started a thread of all the crap and insults that he's thrown it would be 1000 pages long. He's literally brought the majority of it on himself. Typical bully behavior to be honest. And y'all can say he's not a bully, I've got TDS, whatever, but Trump IS a bully. That's why a lot of people like him. Crap on everyone, beat up the little guy, but when everyone gives it back gets his feelings hurt and plays the victim.

It's accurate, but the numbers are kind of misleading. for instance: he endorses Abbott, but Abbott had a 100% chance of being reelected. Somewhere around 80% of his endorsements are not in competitive races. His endorsements of incumbents in deep red states are basically irrelevant. Where he's hurt up tremendously is by endorsing bad candidates in tight races in battleground states. Here's a quote from a 2022 article after the right greatly underperformed in the midterms that sums things up pretty well: "Looking just at contests deemed competitive by the NBC News political unit, based on political dynamics of those races and ad spending, 46 of Trump’s candidates won, and 33 lost. Of the 33 who lost, 32 of them echoed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen." Looking at that, it still looks okay, but you have to consider that most of the competitive races that his candidates won were still red-favored races. he failed to flip house/senate/governor seats that were needed and expected at the midterms of what was, and still is, a disastrous presidential term from Biden. History has always shown that the midterms bode well for the opposite party when a president struggles in office, but the 2022 midterms were a disaster for republicans.

you know what's funny? based on a lot of the statements he's making, I genuinely think it's hurting Trump's feelings.

it absolutely can, and absolutely is. communism doesn't have anything to do with it. Trump's only requirement for an endorsement is that you go along with his stolen election claims (or that your opponent publicly disputed them). do that, and you can put his name on your signs. and all it takes is trump's name to get the republican nod in many cases, no matter how terrible a candidate it is. that's how you get a republican candidate losing to a stroke patient. of course, the excellent candidate that trump backed in that race was a TV doctor. there was a reason that democrats not-so-secretly donated money in many campaigns for the crappy politicians Trump endorsed... they knew they could beat them more easily that a decent candidate without a Trump endorsement.

feels that way. mean tweets are back, but more unhinged and less coherent.

I mean, yeah. Not sure why the right gets to get upset when the left slams their candidate. you know, the one who has spent 8 years slamming anyone and everyone who disagrees with him or denies his wildest claims.

Trump has killed us here. he's meddled in races all over the country, and in several cases managed to get bad Trumper candidates into elections where they lose races republicans would traditionally win.

If this happens, it gives Trump a slightly better chance, IMO. There were a lot of dems and moderates who wouldn't vote for Trump OR Biden who were going to vote for RFK. Many of those will now vote for Harris. Of the RFK supporters left, I would think a lot more would go right than left if RFK drops out, simply because most that would go left have already done so now that Dementia Joe is gone. Very few people care who RFK endorses, but if he's no longer an option on the ballot, I do think it's a bigger net gain for Trump. Enough to be relevant? Maybe in a few races that are going to be decided by tenths of a % point.

you're not wrong, but Trump's staunch supporters aren't really any different.

I agree with most of what you're saying. knowing what will happen and stopping it from happening are two different things, unfortunately.

one good thing is that the average democrat has trended back to center these last few years. even the left is getting tired of the woke, cancel culture antics. that's good news considering the left is probably going to control just about everything here pretty soon. the right has all the insults and criticism in the world for the left, but they're not stupid, though. they've figured out that moderation wins elections, and are adjusting attitudes, candidates, and policy to better attract voters. maybe republicans will figure that out at some point as well. everyone on the right is getting bent out of shape because harris has changed her stances on a lot of things. There's no real surprise that criticism over this strategy is coming from the side who's gone with the "this is what we're doing, deal with it" approach for the last 2 elections, with minimal success. Trump supporters have been outraged when anyone has suggested he make some changes to increase his odds of being elected. Now Harris has done just that and they're outraged that she's quickly gaining support. it's one of the dumber things i've seen in a long line of dumb things that have come out of the right in recent years.

this year they're in possibly the worst district in the state. maybe some district down near the mexican border is worse. which is not any fault of Lumberton, but I'm just hoping there isn't too much overreaction when they compete for a district championship this year.

man, I hate to hear this. I looked her up on fb because the name seemed familiar, and saw y'all were friends. I had no idea y'all were that close. What an awful deal. I hope they figure out who did this.

doesn't really sound like Reyes ever had the backing to begin with based on several of the posts i'm seeing here. which is a shame, as he did a pretty good job over there, despite not doing things how the parents wanted them done.

that's what makes it so special when a coach gets the full backing of his community. Surratt doesn't have to deal with this, guaranteed. And if one parent makes waves, the rest of the community backs the coach. Pretty rare these days. Although to be fair, coach treatment of players often went too far the other way back in the day.

could be. not sure what he was thinking letting his wife go. Gotta assume she's the one that turned him in.

I know they lost a couple of the best skills players they've had in a long time... I don't follow lumberton enough to make a super educated statement on this, but their QB that graduated has to be amongst the best to have ever gone through there.
