So, you did vote for Walz in 2022. And now, since you're so very concerned about crime, you're going to vote for a felon. Makes sense to you.

At least 33 bomb threats in Ohio. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/16/springfield-bomb-threats-ohio-republican.html

I guess Hannibal Lecter is on assignment.

If, a month and a half out from the election, Trump is feeling the need to spend money shoring up support from his most favorable demographic in a ruby red state like Texas, that says a lot.

Purely anecdotal, but I'm hearing Trump is advertising heavily on TV during Texas college football games. Looks like the campaign is feeling the need to shore up support from men in Texas, one of the most reliable demographics for a Republican candidate. As we all know, every penny spent in Texas is one less penny available to spend in a swing state. I don't believe Trump is actually going to lose Texas, but I can see the logic in the Trump campaign feeling the need to advertise there. If Trump does manage to lose Texas, is addition to certainly losing the election in a landslide it would mean a humiliation on a historic scale. I believe that, and some other indicators, suggest Trump's support is softening. I also think that there's a chance this softening of support may accelerate due to Trump's current turn to the hard right. I think his supporters are motivated more by what they oppose than by enthusiasm for Trump himself. If they have to hold their noses to vote for him, I think there are others out there who are likely to simply sit this one out. Right now, I think Trump's ceiling is 47% and his floor is 37%. Harris closing the gap by double digits in Iowa is also impressive. Seems there were a lot of "Double Haters" in Iowa who didn't want either Trump or Biden, and they now find Harris a less objectionable alternative. If Harris did that 10+ shift by simply not being Biden, then that should make a difference in other states as well.

"Lesser of two evils?" You've been making it sound as if Walz was personally directing the rioters in 2020. What was his opponent promising to do that could have possibly been worse? Surely *you* voted for Walz's opponent in 2022. Because if you didn't, you're clearly wasting everybody's time right now. Did you vote for Walz in 2022, or did you choose the greater of the two evils? Because if you voted for Walz in 2022 you're wasting our time right now bashing him. And if you voted for the greater of the two evils in 2022, why would anybody want to listen to anything you have to say about who to vote for in 2024? Who cares if his opponent was relatively unknown? As if unknowns don't have a chance in politics, especially when they're facing somebody who's been such a disaster as you've been trying to paint Walz as being. Give us a break. If Walz's leadership during the Floyd protests was really as bad as you've made it out to be, surely anybody else would have been preferable. But a mere two years later Walz was re-elected by a very comfortable margin. It's not adding up.

It's not at all surprising that some Trump supporters haven't watched the debate between Harris and Trump. Trump got embarrassed. I've watched it twice already, and I look forward to watching it again. Harris trolled him on his crowd size, and Trump's wheels came right off. It was all downhill from there. It was a sight to see. Well, a sight for everyone but Trump supporters. Trump's "concept of a plan" to replace Obamacare was - again, there is just no other word to describe it - embarrassing. The fact that he couldn't seem to comprehend that a candidate could come up with a plan spoke volumes. He made an excuse that he couldn't come up with a healthcare plan because he wasn't president. Why are any voters giving him the time of day? He had four years as president, then he had another four years as ex-president, and the best Obamacare replacement he can come up with was "I have a concept of a plan?" One of the late night talk shows did a montage of him (dating back to 2016) saying that a plan to replace Obamacare was coming in two weeks, four weeks, two months, ect. The guy is an empty suit. Hopefully this currently ongoing story of the Haitians eating dogs and cats will be part of Trump's undoing. Seems JD Vance is already trying to double down on it. I'm fairly certain we haven't seen the end of this yet. It will be interesting if it affects Ohio polling in any meaningful way. Apart from the pure political optics (which are awful), I'm worried that the situation will escalate and people will get hurt (which would be far worse.) But, right now it seems Vance and Trump have decided this is their number one issue.

If his leadership was so unforgettably disastrous during the George Floyd protests of 2020, why was Walz re-elected in 2022?

Exactly as we told everyone from the very beginning: A vote for RFK Jr. is a vote for Trump, and a vote for Trump is a vote for RFK Jr.

It's Walz, not Waltz. Enjoy voting for Trump, Pamela. I'm sure you will be very happy with his leadership.

I shouted out "who killed the Kennedy's?" When after all, it was you and me

Cui bono - who benefits? One of the most elemental questions asked in crime investigations. No one benefited more, and no one benefited quicker, from JFK's death than LBJ. The conspirators sure got lucky that the new president was guiding and shaping the investigation and the resulting cover up from beginning to end. I don't believe the conspirators relied on luck.

The silence from Trump supporters is deafening.

Whoever it is, they're gonna have some mighty small gloves to fill.

The bigotry on this forum is truly appalling.
