Steve Thomas Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Trump's plan to rig a swing state election in his favor could backfire on GOP: report By David McAfee November 4, 2023 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-rig-backfire/ "Instead of holding either a caucus or a primary, Nevada is holding both, just two days apart in early February. The primary, on Feb. 6, is being conducted by the state, using all the state voting precincts with ballots mailed to every registered Republican," according to the report. "The caucus, on Feb. 8, requires participants to find the site closest to their home designated by the pro-Trump state party during two specific hours that night to cast a paper ballot that will be counted by hand, by the pro-Trump state party." "If that pattern continues this year, the winner of the Feb. 6 primary could easily draw more votes than the winner of the Feb. 8 caucuses but wind up with none of the state’s 26 delegates to the summer nominating convention. Those will all be awarded based on the caucus result, and the party is not allowing candidates who participate in the primary to enter the caucus. Even if the winner of the February 6th Primary received more votes than the winner of the February 8th caucus, it won’t matter. They won’t get delegates,' Gibbs wrote," the report states. “The voters will not react well to that, nor will the campaigns.” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they have lot of hostages, but they murdered so many innocent people! They had to know that Israel will be so mad they'll be quite willing to lose some hostages, and wreak 20 times the destruction and kill considerably more people first. Like I predicted, quintuple revenge payback was accomplished by Israel in a week. I agree with Doug, I think Biden's domestic priorities are maybe the best of any President of our time, with possible exception of Jimmy Carter, and my hopes for RFK. But everyday for the last 3 weeks he hasn't called for a ceasefire just damages him in the eyes of the world, not to mention his election chances. I enjoyed that interview with Ilan Pappe, Doug! The only thing that could save him would be if he got support from our allies, and in the next 9 months the world gets some confidence that we are on the road to a 2 state solution. If Biden accomplished that, he will have achieved something no President in the post war era world could and be remembered as a great President. These are his stated intentions, and no doubt the intentions of a lot of our allies. We don't know what he's telling Netanyahu in private. But first there has to be an acknowledged turnaround, from this no ceasefire policy. And then an acknowledgment that getting rid of the spirit of Hamas is impossible no matter how much of Hamas you've killed, and we have to take a new direction. Biden has been shrewder than a lot of people have given him credit for. The question is: is he shrewd enough to realize that if he doesn't shoot for the fences now, his chances for reelection will be zero? I'm seeing a lot of coverage from CNN and Fox about the plight of the people in Gaza as well as Israel. It's really a "whole world is watching" moment. Biden has to be aware that sticking with Israel, right or wrong is political suicide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Caddy Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Trump leads Biden in five swing states. I think the falloff in Democratic support is due to his kowtowing to Israel's genocidal strategy in Gaza.

But at least I think Trump has his wits about him.”" LOL Exhibit A as to why these polls are a joke. Look at the insane things this guy says; do you really think he doesn't watch Fox News all day?

W. Niederhut Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) The more I have studied the history of Hamas and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lately, the more hopeless I feel. There doesn't seem to be a feasible solution to this historic conflict. Fortunately, I've been able sit out in the garden this weekend, enjoying the unusually warm weather, and listening to great songs by Phish-- including, "Everything's Right, So Just Hold Tight." Any Phish-heads around here? What an incredibly live band. Their virtuosity and preference for live, improvisational concert jams reminds me of Jerry Garcia and the Dead. Here's Phish last February, in concert on the "Mayan Riviera." (The only large concert I ever attended on the Mayan Riviera was at Xcaret.) Edited November 6, 2023 by W.

Steve Thomas Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Trump admits in court he wasn't president in 2021 when he was 'keeping our country safe' by David Edwards November 6, 2023 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-president-2021/ ""Trump brings up the 2021 valuation of the joint venture, but says he wasn't really involved with it," Law360 crime reporter Stewart Bishop revealed. "Trump says he was very busy as president." "My threshold was China, Russia and keeping our country safe," Trump reportedly said. Prosecutor Kevin Wallace offered to refresh Trump's memory. "And just to refresh your recollection, you were not president in 2021?" he asked. "No I wasn't," Trump admitted." This should be mentioned 400 times a day, every single day between now and November, 2024. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next year will be a never-ending barrage of articles like the above... Honestly, I agree with the oracle, David Axelrod, on this one. LBJ didn't announce that he wouldn't seek re-election until late March of 1968, so there is still ample time for Biden to retire and allow some younger Democratic leaders to compete for the nomination.

Matt Allison Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 As suspected, the specifics of the poll show that either low-information voters, or an abundance of Trump voters were used for this poll. That's why it's impossible to take it seriously. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/06/us/elections/times-siena-michigan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
