Trump surging now in battleground states
- Thread starter AC_Exotic
- Start date
It reinforces what all the shrieking leftists on this board miss when clamoring on about 42%.... that's his floor.
He has done some things that tweak different planks of the right, free traders, either immigration stance, etc..... so those folks rightfully take a wait and see approach. The right is far from the monolithic lemming group the Left tries to say that it is.
Some, a few, may splinter off. But barring a severe economic downturn, Kitchen table issues and how batshit crazy (or reasonable) the Left shows itself to be over the next 9 months is going to determine if this is a competitive race or not. Many folks have already splintered from the Left or coalesced around Trump due to his effectiveness.
In short, he has a higher floor than he did in 2016.
Jan 21, 2025 he'll happily leave when his term(s) finish.
(I think that's the transition of power date. I didn't go look it up. So if it's off, sue me.)
Even though ostated chi disagrees with me it is always difficult to beat a sitting president unless democrats come up with some one like Clinton
Ha! Attention democrats. In order to beat trump you need a raper who sticks cigars up his intern in order to take the moral high ground from trump.
Ready, break!
Clinton wouldn’t last ten minutes with these progressive Hyenas.
In the end, this race will likely be about turnout. Can the emerging Left candidate create a vision people believe in and want to be a part of?
In the midwest, that likely means that candidate is triangulated into admitting lukewarm support for the hardline stance on China. Because the alternative is to be "okay" with the prior status quo of jobs being sucked into low cost environments (China) who also don't trade fairly....hardly sends an "I'm going to bat for you" message to workers in those states.

Yup.
I'm dreading another 4 years of Biff, but he's in the catbird seat unless the Dems can end up with a candidate who has the ability to motivate voters to turnout. If the economy continues to be strong, Trump will be able to use that to his advantage. (regardless of what the polls are saying).
What do you think will be the worst thing that will happen to you under biff that offsets the economic benefits?
To me? Not much of anything. I have concerns about the country, the environment, the planet, minorities, homosexuals, and other issues.
I, also, suspect that current economic benefits are transient, with a crash likely in the next 4-5 years. (admittedly, I'm weak on my understanding of all factors that affect the economy).
I know there is a movement within the Republican party to ensure LGBTQ+ protections. Just this year me and some like minded Republicans got language added to the Oklahoma Republican platform regarding ensuring those rights. We did it to make it more difficult for Congressional Republicans to vote against Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression legal protections that would declare those protected classes in relation to housing and employment.
Environmentally conservatives believe that we must be good stewards of our environment. We just think that the other accords and carbon taxing aren't the correct way to preserve good environmental standards. Technology will win the day here.
These aren't as divisive as you might think they are. Just saying.
This is laughable to me.
Honestly what is going to happen to minorities and homosexuals? What’s this dooms day scenario?
Homosexuals will be ok. Minorities are enjoying record employment. The rest of that stuff is too vague to quantify.
You actually think there is a Dem out there that can get close to the center after promising socialism to get the Dem nomination?
Free, free, FREE! Rich people will pay for it. I have to admit that sounds better than me working two jobs while going to school and dropping out to rufneck in the gulf of Mexico to get money to finish school.
Sign me up for "FREE" Bernie stuff
I fight for the lack of wedding cakes! And stand before you today to make sure men with tucked penisis can serve in the military!
I don’t want poor minorities to suffer under the rule of government, even though I’m a rich business owner in Dallas while blacks live in squalor outside my neighborhood! I hear it’s bad! I don’t go there of course, nor do I sponsor any minority children, but my heart bleeds on this message board!
And if their pit bull needs to be put down, I’ll be there to write off the expense of non payment on my taxes (rich people should pay more taxes btw)
Minorities can take care of themselves. They are people too and the government is the least of their worries. I had class with a black guy in his mid 20’s last year. You would lock your doors if you saw him in Dallas. Super nice guy and after death after death in St. Louis of friends and family, his mom and some other extended family members picked a spot on a map (Ponca city), drove down and checked it out and then moved there to start a new life. He got a job at a nursing home, started college (subsidized loans) and was being promoted during the semester I knew him. Our government gives opportunity and that’s all it should give. Has trump taken that away? Will he? How does that manifest itself in your mind?
And yet you didn’t mention poor people. Just the monolith that is “minorities” in your mind. Are you worried about jay z? Van Jones? Michael Jordan? Poor white people have pit bulls too you know.

Poor people need to not have unprotected sex and drop out of high school. Rich people need to take their own private money and start employment and training programs for the poor citizens that make up their community.
The federal government shouldn’t force either group to do those things however.
I bet if you saw him in street clothes you would try and help him find the dmv by speaking slowly and loudly.
ITS THIS WAY. I CAN WALK WITH YOU. DO YOU PLAY BASKETBALL?!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
And you act like I am the one out of touch with reality.
Damn it I sit around thinking of ways to harm people who have gender and sexual identities different than mine but thank God we have the legislature to protect us from our evil selves.
Oh, I also like to trash the planet every chance I get because I like looking at trash on my property and breathing dirty air gets me high.
Thank God for legislators they know better than us simple folk
nah. Your solution to fixing poverty is akin to stating that we just need Harry Potter to cast a spell to fix the problem.
Ask him what he does to help the planet. I bet it’s super duper significant and a sacrifice he imposes on himself to help the future generation.
Call doubledoor and tell him it’s happening.

Unbridled capitalism and private charity is your kryptonite
I'm not sure which is more pitiful. The media pushing polls 17 months before an election or you guys making it an issue on here.
Having any sense of scale at all is your kryptonite.
On the phone. Someone please post the awesome Hilkary will win in a landslide videos.
trump is the economy
you like an israel with a strong us partner?
or you like a US partner shipping palates of cash to iran?
trumps been good to you
you should get over yourself
Sorry, I think Hilkary was a whore who worked one of our bachelors party back in the day. She knew what she was doing unlike Hillary.
Yeah they need to get a bigger liar and some one who is more amoral.
Of course leave the country with a surplus and a better foreign policy.
Are you smoking some opium? You aren’t making any sense.
