Only 1 Former President Showed Up -- His name is Donald Trump!

Perfect. I give you permission to head on in to Dillard’s and just take whatever you want. Let me know how it works out for you. -

We are talking about the guy who said a former POW who spent five years in captivity was a loser. "It's okay, because Trump didn't like him" say all of the so-called "patriots" here. -

Ok.... let's ask them. [Hidden Content] -
Nah... they'll be laughing at the fact "conservatives" couldn't pick a better alternative. FWIW, better means "electable" not "has more insults." I don't think you recognize that significance.

True. It’s going to take something dramatic to swing this back in his direction. History will laugh at us for re-nominating this guy after he lost the office to BIden/Harris in 2020 and then caused 1/6. “oh, yeah?!!! You got LUCKY!! Let’s run it back!!!” Then we get beat down again.

[Hidden Content] Looks like Trump’s staff wanted to honor those brave fallen by getting in a fight with cemetery staff. Trump is standing on the bodies of our dead for campaign purposes, and it turns out that’s against the rules. I wonder if understanding the rules explains why nobody else showed up to campaign at Arlington? -
And she wasn’t lying. Abbott hasn’t bused any immigrants in two months because the border is closed. Stock market is rocking. Inflation has eased up to more manageable levels. Everybody that wants a job has one. Internet rates are starting to come down. A would-be dictator is going to prison. The system works.

September 10th Trump will be front and center, being a racist/misogynist pig and y'all will think he did great. The election returns will once again prove that most Americans can't stand Trump or his ardent supporters. He still believes that we should all vote against Kamala because she's black.

Yeah, but only two have added more than Trump.... [Hidden Content] "The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration, according to a calculation by a leading Washington budget maven, Eugene Steuerle, co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. And unlike George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln, who oversaw the larger relative increases in deficits, Trump did not launch two foreign conflicts or have to pay for a civil war."

What's worse than a tax and spend liberal? Broke, middle class conservatives that cheer for tax cuts for the rich while their 401k gets destroyed and deficit spending causes high single digit inflation for years to come. The inflation that we're feeling was put in motion by Trump's deficit spending and cash handouts. Anybody who sat through micro and macro economics knows what's up.

Well, what does General McMasters (US Army) have to say on the subject? [Hidden Content] -

He’d better. He’s the one that abandoned those boys over there for four years until Biden brought them home. -
It just keeps getting worse… Trump backed out of the 9/10 debate over a dispute about muting microphones. Everybody knows that he did so well a couple of months ago in part due to the fact that his mic was muted while Biden was speaking. The Dems are demanding that his mic be unmuted and Trump’s people are screaming “No! You gotta mute him!!!” ‘Cause they already know he can’t keep his stupid mouth shut. Somehow the Dems have become the part of economic sanity, too. They’re like “we’re gonna spend and extra $2 trillion, then then raise an extra $5 trillion in new taxes.” As a conservative, I don’t like it. But it’s better than Trump’s plan of “I’m gonna cut taxes by five trillion!” with nary a mention of spending cuts. The Harris campaign glossed it as “a deficit bomb” and that’s exactly what it is… the same thing happened last time. Rs: Cut taxes, spend less. Ds: Raise taxes, spend more. Trump: Cut taxes, spend more, then…. What do you mean we can’t just file bankruptcy?

Serious question, though. We’re less than 10 weeks out and the wind is at Kamala’s back. What do y’all think could possibly turn the tide back Trump’s way? I don’t think the Rfk endorsement moves the needle. I think a disastrous debate performance by Harris could potentially impact the race, but I’m not sure it would be enough… and I’m frankly more worried about Trump having a disastrous debate and sealing the deal… if Harris even agrees to have one. I don’t see any way that Trump can turn it around, but does anybody else have a suggestion? Dump Vance for someone that brings more people into the fold? I don’t know.

My guess is that most people gravitated towards RFK because they were “anybody but Biden or Trump” votes. That would make them unlikely to swing Trump’s way, but rather Harris because she IS “anybody but Trump or Biden.” I also believe that most RFK voters tended to lean liberal… disgruntled democrats if you will. Those voters would be more inclined to return left than adventure to the right for the first time. Purely just my opinion, not a fact. If RFK voters split 50/50 for Harris and Trump, it’s a a wash. If 100% of them miraculously decide to vote Trump, it’s not enough to overcome Harris’s advantage based on recent polling. It would definitely help trump, but not enough.

He’s 78, pretty sure. But you have to admit that he’s not looking too hot these days. The campaign, the legal problems, marital problems, judgments, a new energetic opponent who’s just swooped by him into the lead, the assassination attempt…. He just looks like a shadow of himself in the last two weeks or so. Name calling isn’t getting it done in 2024.
