“I have the concept of a plan” is fine tho.

She should have just said that she has the concept of a plan and then pivoted to whatever single issue she feels is polling well for her 🙄
That’s some cringy shit.
Why on Earth would you say that, unless you think your opinion is important and valid and worthy of being heard? Yet you out here arguing other people’s opinions aren’t. Wow, great mind. Cry about strawmen a bit more.
She’s not allowed to or qualified to have an opinion according to you?
She doesn’t decide who they vote for.

Disengaged voters aren’t watching the debate
They won’t watch, but the debate can attract the attention of people who don’t ordinarily think about politics but start to realize there’s an election coming up. It’s a broad group that I don’t think you can generalize as broadly as you are (unless you’re using the term “disengaged” to describe only the “refuse to participate in any way” camp).
Similarly, undecided is more likely to describe people who haven’t decided if they will vote or not - either side winning and otherwise forfeited vote is a good thing for their campaign. But I also think it’s incorrect to assume there’s people not still on the fence about the candidate - plenty of “I like Harris but I am not sure if she’s good for the economy” voters, etc.
Agree, however if debates do have any impact on an election (Biden dropping out being an exception) it’s to sway disengaged and swing voters. So Trump just plays to his base I think that would qualify as a loss for him.
Muted mics make him look like he’s being civil and letting Harris talk.
Hot mic presents two interesting possibilities:
He tries on his “low IQ” and “she suddenly decided to be black” attack lines and Harris calls him out so he looks like a fucking asshole to the average voter.
He DOESNT try on his “low IQ” and “she suddenly decided to be black” attack lines and Harris calls back to her “say it to my face” line and paints him as a weak coward for the rest of the campaign.
he brought Corey Lewandowski back to oversee the campaign managers
Who he previously fired as campaign manager in 2016. His campaign is a total shitshow.
It’s a satire piece meant to highlight the absurdity of conservative positions despite how they are presented matter-of-fact in the mainstream. Would love a non paywalled linked to read it all.
Sure, you can do things that will supplement [state’s abortion bans]. Absolutely. And those things are pretty open, and humane, but you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote, and the votes are taking place right now as we speak.
Mixing in some garbled response about voting in what should otherwise be a straightforward response tells you everything you need. His addled brain betrays his real stance: “I’ll go with whatever gets me the most votes, I don’t give a shit about the actual issue”.
Deal maker Donnie really doing deals here. Looks like he’s basically caved.
Watch MAGA base desperately ignore another obvious example yet again if his tough words and weak actions not lining up.
Trump is genuinely scared he’s going to lose. He’s trying to put the stink of his conviction on someone else. He knows it’s a massive liability.
Yeah that’s exactly the problem with increased partisan staff as opposed to a balance / scaled approach. It will only emphasise money and populism in what should be (and already isn’t) an official and unbiased process.
It’s super frustrating how much democracy falls into a two-party pit. That said recent UK and Australian elections show how conservative parties who leaned into hard right Trumpism bullshit shed votes to independents and parties who want conservatism with the loonies.
Good find. Some additional context later in the same article that I found interesting:
In the July meetings, conservative board members favored proposals for increasing the number of poll watchers parties and candidates could send to vote-counting centers, changing the way local election offices verify vote totals, and giving local election board members more access to election-related materials prior to verifying election results.
Partisan poll-watchers and partisan election officials something something free and fair elections (according to conservatives).
The conventions and announcements of VP picks are so late in the cycle because that’s about the point where the election is close enough that the broad population is likely to pay more attention. I’m not at all worried that there’s a mere 100 days for Harris to campaign.
Jessica Castillo, a self-described centrist from Charlotte who voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020
If you’re consistently voting hard right, how the hell are you calling yourself centrist? These people are nuts.
Isn’t this just saying vote for Harris?
