Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Disgusting people do disgusting things. No surprise though that these are the signs they are handing out at the MAGA convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Is the constant panning to the candidate in the crowd a feature of these things? 2020 doesn't count because it was a weird year, but back when I actually watched conventions, I don't recall the candidate sitting out there like this every single night.

pfife Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I heard commentators say it wasn't usual for the candidate to be ther that much before accepting the nom. Of course slump is there for all the adulation he can scrounge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the parallel to Arthur Bremer, who at 22, stalked both Nixon and Wallace in '72. Pretty much settled on Wallace because Nixon was being too tough a target. No logic in that either.

I hope they work equally as well in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a given for a week now, just taking some time for him to realize it. 5 hours ago, Motown Bombers said: Do they know something we don't? The polls show this as a toss up. I cannot understand forcing out the incumbent this early who has a successful track record and no scandals. Yes, they know Biden's numbers suck yet they are too afraid to share with him, add in the fact that traditionally an incumbent wouldn't be challenged, despite the fact that he even said he would be a one time president to bridge to another person outside of Trump. 4 hours ago, Tiger337 said: The debate was a symptom, not a cause. He is a terrible speaker and getting worse. 538 has them ahead. They guy who developed the 538 algorithm says Biden should drop out. Not sure what to make of that. I still don't understand how so many of you have fallen into this belief that he was a terrible speaker. He was a good speaker, borderline great speaker, who knew how to keep folks engaged. He's nothing now when it comes to speaking, he can't even campaign, but i'm told that's not important, so there is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, because the billonaire's life is worth more than the racist jerk in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
