Trump is 'hanging himself' with his own rope as campaign spirals out of control: analyst

Unless he literally hangs himself. Then, please notify me immediately.

Fuck the polls, fuck the analysts

go fucking vote

Yep. I've been forever hardened into a political and legal cynic starting with hanging chads and most recently, with the lack of Jan 6 accountability for Trump.

Biden dropping out was a wonderful and pleasant surprise. I was NOT getting my hopes up that he would step down, especially given the DNC's tendency to fuck up what should be easy wins.

I mean, he could still murder JD Vance and replace the corpse with like nikki haley or something.

This has been a fait accompli since 2015. The only thing I guessed wrong about this election 9 years ago was Pelosi actually being able to convince Biden to drop out.

Now that he has, Harris is a shoe-in.

I don't really get all the negative press the guy is getting from the left spun media. His supporters aren't disappearing.... instead they're coming out of the woodwork and showing their true colors that they've sworn all along isn't how they are. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more voters this year than any year before showing up for the biggest asshole to be elected president in my lifetime. Also the only one term president in my lifetime from voters because he is hated that much by the other half.

To so many conservatives racism doesn't exist. They aren't against black people or foreigners... but they are literally coming out front and center to be anti-black, especially since the pandemic era BLM protests. Springfield Ohio is just another perfect example of how racism not only exists, but is celebrated by about half the country. It's just insane that it isn't even shunned.

My favorite line from the debate was when dumpy said "we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums and they’re coming and they’re taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics" Are you fucking kidding me? Minimum and sub-minimum wage jobs are now "black and hispanic" jobs? That's what you're trying to force american citizens into? very low paying, low qol, minimum healthcare roles with no chance of advancement and no hope for a better future. Make america great again and bring back slavery right?

Sorry for the rant, I just can't believe how monstrous humans can be. There's just no more rational discourse or anything resembling sane critical thinking anymore in the media. It's all just outrage fuel and inane distractions. On the left media sites they keep saying it's doomsday for trump. They said he couldn't beat Hillary too and she had an even bigger point lead ahead of the election https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_110716/

That wasn't the media, that was everyone, to be fair. I voted for him in the first term, and I was very vocal about him dropping out.

But yeah, it's crazy that there isn't a chorus of GOP folks demanding the same.

What would happen if he did drop out? Have we ever had a presidential election that went uncontested?

Or how he’s SO OLD and DEMENTIC and will die any moment. Fragile snowflake Republicans.

It’s far more entertaining, clickworthy, and they will earn far more billions from watching him slowly crumble all the way to election day, and watching him throw a tantrum afterwards.

And who knows? We could have another January 6 on our hands, and they could earn so so much money selling advertising during the airing of that.

These people are fucking disgusting, and they’ll stop at nothing, I repeat nothing, to earn ad revenue off of every iota of your attention.

Honestly, shouldn't you be greatful that the media did this? Otherwise Biden would still be in, pretty much sealing in Trump to become the next president.

Just sad, that you couldn't get a candidate who doesn't support genocide (except the Greens).

Both things can be true.

...What we've found for the last 10 years or so now is that when it comes to Republican candidates, and especially Trump, reality no longer matters. At all. There are 743,000 things that should have disqualified him for president. That Republicans should have noped out on, said "this is definitely not our guy". They just don't matter. For a number of reasons.

His campaign could be literally a dog shitting on a US flag. And it wouldn't change anything; he would still poll virtually the same. There are almost no actual "undecideds" leaning towards him.

At this point, it's about voter motivation and access. His guys CAN be less motivated to vote, and Harris supporters can definitely be more motivated to vote. That's where we are.

It’s kinda like George Lucas. Everyone was shocked when the prequels came out with how bad they were but if you look into the original trilogy he had equally crazy ideas, he was just kept in check by a team because he wasn’t such a success he couldn’t have ALL the reigns.

This is the kind of world we live in today. The GOP has lost its mind and a large portion of the USA backs that.

I think if he dropped N bombs even more people would vote for him. Too many racists.

That's what is scary, especially with another part about all the shady yet very real ways he could win.

• Despite him looking like and absolute baffoon Everytime he talks, and all the blatant lies and dripple, coupled with getting manhandled in the debate, all the lawsuits...the polls are still disturbingly close

• Some states have enacted laws to literally meddle with votes and counts to the point some can absolutely reject the outcome

• States passing laws to allow them to purposely delay the counts long enough that no one hits 270, it goes to court and scotus, or have Congress/house vote

• Very real possibility if Harris does hit 270 first that Jan 6th becomes a slap fight by comparison to an actual coup attempt

The polls are worrying (the Dems need a lead of 3 percentage points uniformly to win), though methodology is a sticking point. Phone polls are biased towards people who answer phone calls from strangers, which is said to skew older. And the Republicans’ war on women’s rights is likely to lose them the female vote in a way that twentysomething incel Tate fans are unlikely to compensate for.

is always like this, for every presidential race as long as i can remember. it's suuuuper close every time and just enough for the fuckery to matter. wether that's hanging chads or swing states or electric voting machine fuckery.

The leadup is always breathless and neck-and-neck until election night and they have to start publishing totals.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like rapists. Never have. They are simply too rapey for my tastes.

Let them poison AI with bad grammar.

It was the worse of time, it was the better of time.

Maybe they're leaving room for improvement?

Also I’m sure despite him saying that he will not debate again, he’ll change his mind and do better in round 2 after they drill enough talking points in his head. It doesn’t take a lot for his base to claim a debate victory. He just has to look the part for the duration of the debate.

I still blame James Comey.

Will there be a livestream?

Same

Real polls take time. True opinion polls take at a minimum 2 weeks to conduct sufficient sampling and do analysis on and prep for release. You won't see the full effect of the debate results in polls until, at the earliest, end of next week.

And at the end of the day the only poll that matters is the one on November 5th...

Maybe it's the fact that most people treat it like a local team rivalry or a "I hate my team but I won't let the others win".

How can he become increasingly isolated from his previous state of complete and total isolation?

I guess he could turn off the TV.

I think it means you're killing yourself, instead of getting hanged by a hangman for example. Similar to shooting yourself in the foot.
