I don’t think the attacks on Brian Kemp hurt him, but they were unnecessary and lame and I was kind of happy when Trump controlled himself to be strategic, but let’s face facts. Trump’s going to do what Trump’s going to do, and everybody voting for Trump has priced in his annoying habits. I doubt anyone is going to vote for open borders, a packed Supreme Court plus gun confiscation because Trump is still pissed off at Brian Kemp and refuses to shut up about it.

I disagree.  Trump being Trump will have people not turning out to vote.  There is a threshold of disgust in his regard.  I found his harangue of Kemp one of his worst to date.  Foolish would be a kind word.  Childish!  And pure idiocy, and frankly after Biden and Harris, I have had enough pure idiocy.  Faced with Harris and Trump, many might just decide to stay home because the choice is the same.

Thus, we cannot make light of his out right idiocy.  Trump doing what Trump does LOST the last election.  A smart politician goes after every vote, and doesn't INSULT large swaths of the electorate.  Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have this negative trait in common, on a large scale!  Only difference, Trump feels he MUST insult members of his own party.  Uggh!  With regularity!!!!  The arrogance of Trump knows no limit.  That is what one gets with embracing a billionaire, who does not see the need to adhere to courting the favor of anyone beyond the end of their own nose.

The POINT is that he continues to behave as he always has, which historically has turned off about half the population in America.  You would think he would come to realize that maybe, just maybe he might change something in his approach to concentrate on winning, since the other side are largely communist, and out to destroy this nation.  For having attended an ivy league school, he just does not show any intelligence. 

He narrowly won in 2016, and lost in 2020.  America is getting tired of him, and despite having two of the worst politicians in USA history with Biden and Harris, half this country is STILL thinking of voting for one of these fools who is dumber than a box of rocks instead of Trump.  I mean really!  Even the leverage he gets by being shot may STILL have him losing to a dumber than a box of rocks candidate.  And not to sound like a prude, who went to Howard University, not noted for its output of brilliant folks.  And after witnessing Harris, no one could accuse her of any brilliance. 

But the UGLY TRUTH is that we continue to pack this nation with folks with a 2nd grade education, folks with low IQ and obviously folks that just do not pay attention to anything of consequence.  They decide to vote for folks because of the color of their skin, or gender, etc, all things that in the grand scheme, should not be used to decide who to vote for.

And contrary to what you may think, that bit Trump did for 30+ minutes did in fact cost him votes.  And someone should be screaming at him to to use his atrophied brain!  He cannot afford to lose ANY VOTES.  If you want to win, you have to go after EVERY VOTE.  He doesn't understand that!

One thing the dems are successful at is pulling together their disparate factions toward a common goal of winning elections.  Republicans are more interested is losing noisily.

That's because, regardless of some differences, Democrats are united in the belief of the power of government.

Republican's are more divided. You have the Donald Trump's of the party vs the Massie's and Rand Paul's of the party and then there's the Mitt Romney types. Republican voters are split into those that want to see the size of the federal government reduced and spending reigned in vs the MAGA movement that support the opposite
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

It's going to take everyone -- EVERYONE -- to win in November. We are on the verge of a full-blown, Obama-led, Marxist takeover of our nation. Trump/Vance MUST win. Establishment GOP, RINOs, Conservatives, Evangelicals, America First, Never Trumpers. Put aside hurt feelings and grudges. ALL REPUBLICANS MUST UNITE FOR THE FALL.


Nice words, and I agree.  BUT, big BUT, you think the RINOs will vote for Trump?  The Never Trumpers?  Hell no!!! Their hate is greater by the day.  You think he was shot by some dumb kid and there was no conspiracy to put him down? 

He has to live to get elected.  And I fear he is in greater danger than ever.   And the Secret Service will do their job to protect him?  They failed once, and I fully expect it to happen again, should the opportunity present itself.

These three months will not go by fast enough.

There is no winning in November.  Either way, we are stuck with another $8 trillion poured onto the inflation bonfire.  The number one issue that affects America today, and neither candidate cares to address it.

The real problem with Trump mouthing off about Republicans is that there are still enough of them who will vote for him, but don’t like him, who will start to rationalize in their heads that they can survive 2 years of Harris and take back the House and Senate in 2026.  Keep bullying and demanding unity and loyalty while showing none in return and you have a recipe for disaster.

2020 was significant in that there was blatant cheating which was well orchestrated when the left had everyone step aside for Biden.

All this political b.s. may have been avoided had Trump backed DeSantis, a true conservative. Though it is likely they would have gone after him and his wife with their smear tactics.

Yes, I'm getting to old for all the political b.s. as well, but I also don't want to surrender to the leftists.

They tried to assassinate Trump; which means that they are going to stop at nothing to keep power.  That's what's truly frightening.  Trump has become unhinged now (as I was afraid he would) and obviously he feels he needs to go absolutely bombastic in order to win.  There's nothing that you and I can do about it.  It so frustrating and sad.

One thing that I am pretty confident of, is that should Trump win, I don't think he'll serve his full term and he'll step down after a short while and hand things over to Vance.

Lol ... either way ... I'll likely be checking out before long. I do worry about my kids and grandkids though.

So it's our fault that Trump chooses to run a terrible campaign in Georgia?

2024 will be significant in that the blatant cheating orchestrated in 2020 will be repeated again in 2024, and that the Trump campaign did not do a single thing in the last four years to stop it.  Not a single thing.

The way I see it the GOP and the RNC have done nothing to stop the cheating.  Some of the governors have made attempts but what about those at the very top? Certainly you would think that the RNC should had been working on this issue, but Ronna was only fired a short while ago.

No, it is not the same.  It is far worse.  Did Trump learn anything from 2020?  I don't see it.  Did he emerge after an assassination attempt having learned anything?  Hell no, I just do not see it.  He is worse than ever.

Trump only hears his own voice.  He trusts next to no one, and you can not be effective in a role of POTUS by not trusting anyone.  You have to build a team, and he is clueless.  Once again, if he does get elected, we will see family members playing key roles because he has no idea how to foster the development of a team of folks to support him.

In his campaigns, he has thumbed his nose at the tradional approach of building a ground game.  Thousands of people serving as ambassador to promoting Trump.  He could care less.  His sole approach has been his rallies.  And I will admit, the rallies are fun.  I was in Macon, with 70,000 people in attendance, and it was absolutely electric.  But it is not enough.

Having tens of thousands going door to door promoting a candidate actually touches millions of people, and for many, that contact is all it takes.  That is how candidates win votes without having to be face to face with every member of the electorate.  It is essential, and Trump again is not interested in that approach.

I don't see any James Carville types advising Trump.  It appears the only people that he listens to appear to be elite types to me.  I see him losing.

Again, I have applied on his website three times to volunteer, and never heard from anyone.  And I am in Georgia, a state that is a toss up state.  You would think they would be clambering for every person they can get their hands on to help with the effort to get him elected.  Again, not a single person contacted me.  It speaks volumes of the utter stupidity of his campaigns.

He won the first time by sheer luck.

And I like you feel like I am getting old for this nonsense.  The endless stupidity and idiocy.

You keep repeating this.  His ego being what it is, where do you arrive at his leaving a wet behind the ears guy in charge?  Just not going to happen.

He has to win, and from my objective view, he is working hard to lose.  Did you not see the utter boredom on the faces behind Trump when he was going off on Kemp?  Believe me, that rally did not have the feel of the one I attended.  No one wants to listen to him whine about Kemp and Raffensperger.  NO ONE!!!

So, imagine Trump loses.  Does he return AGAIN in 2028 for another stab at it?  I think he does, and it simply is just not good for this nation to perpetuate the Trump nonsense endlessly.

Someone upstream was right in saying had Trump backed DeSantis, I think this election would be no contest.  But Trump is working hard to lose it.  He will.

With Harris as POTUS, I see days far worse than those of Carter.  20% or higher inflation.  Interest rates climbing into the double digits, sending RE plummeting.  Unemployment at levels higher than any period since the Great Depression.  Foreign relations going into the gutter and the loss of the USA status in the world as a leader.  Harris is not a Thatcher.  More like an Idi Amin.

The fault, if there is any, is totally Trump's.  He only hears his own voice.

When he was POTUS, I wrote the White House about three times a week, complaining that if he did not do something about the H1-b Visa Program (as promised, which was to end it DAY ONE) he promised to end, he would lose about 1 million votes.  I know quite a few tech folks so disgusted, they were not going to vote.

Well, part of that is telling them just what they want to hear (stuff that aligns with their respective confirmation bias') and promising them the moon and stars on a gold platter, no matter what their personal moon and stars may look like. And they are very good at hinting at those celestial gains and letting people draw their own wish-in-one hand conclusions from that.
What I don't get is the table scraps (at best) they get until the last half of the last year of the term keep them coming back for more, and more unfulfilled promises, while their world has deteriorated around them.

Of course, it's all bullshit, but people lap it up like the sucker born every minute.

And that pulling together requires leadership that has more than his own best interest in mind. One that doesn't insist on being in front and destroying everyone on what is supposed to be his side who dares threaten that.

All this "we have to unite to vote for Trump because the other side is worse" is insulting. Trump didn't bother to unite. Trump didn't bother to step aside. He couldn't even be bothered to debate DeSantis or Haley, but hey, the RNC isn't going to punish him by stripping delegates or anything, after all, a Trump is now the second-in-command there. It's absurd that a Republican Party that has shown every penchant for crushing candidates that could unify it the past eight years now all of a sudden demands unity from its most divisive candidate.

                       TRUMP JUST LOST THIS ELECTION!!!

TRUMP just said, " she [Harris] really is a low IQ person".

The Democommie propaganda machine for the next month will be running with the proof they needed to claim Trump is a racist.  It will not end.

I am sorry, but Trump has lost his mind.  He is not talking PRECISELY about what he will do if he becomes POTUS.  Failing to do that was a major contributor to his losing the last election.  He is doing it again.  He is contributing to the destruction of this nation by hogging the position for the Republican ticket when his mind is bonkers.

Maybe he will back out and they can replace him too with an anointed candidate.  Wouldn't that be a hoot. 

WHAT THIS DUMB MF [TRUMP] DID WAS SPRAY THE FACE OF THE UNDECIDED WITH SKUNK JUICE. I am so disgusted, I cannot begin to measure it.  He has turned this nation over to the commies once again, and I wonder if he did not do it intentionally.

You think his personal attacks are going to get him elected?  Seriously?

And I seriously doubt anyone in his high echelons is reading these boards, so no one in the Trump Campaign gives two shakes what any of us say.

I do not think anyone sane is advising him, for if they were, they would be telling him to end the personal attacks.  Running against a woman that fills three threatened minorities, female, black and Asian Indian, you think that is a smart strategy?

With the choice being Trump and Harris, I want Trump to win, but he is killing his campaign.  And yes, I have been elected, so I have a slightly better sense of what it takes to win, particularly people on the fence.

You know, actually running for public office gives you great insight into what it takes to win elections.  I learned a lot about all of that in it up to my ears.

You do not refer to your opponent as low IQ if you want to win.  Do you actually think a fence sitter is going to go with Trump because he claimed her to be low IQ?  I say he is squirting skunk juice.
