2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

Huh? I’ve never been a Harris fan, going back to her Bay Area days, although I’m confident she won’t be nearly as leftist in the Oval Office as people fear. I’d expect her policies to fall inside, albeit toward the left edge, of the Overton Window.

I’m much more worried about what a Trump second term would look like. I didn’t like his first term but it didn’t end democracy (try though he did) and some elements of his administration were okay by me. But his penchant for the stupid and self-serving were moderated considerably by (i) the utter ineptness of his transition team and the slow start they got off to, and (ii) the tempering influence of the adults in the room (Kelly, Mattis, McMaster, Tillerson, Bolton, [insert the dozens of others who also either resigned or were fired], Pompeo, etc.). Trump has vowed a second term of “vengeance” and he obviously disdains a Team of Rivals approach to administration and wants only loyalists (the Millers, Flynn, Bannon, etc.) who will do his bidding. In his first term Trump learned how better to get what he wants and the next time around he may be like the velociraptor that finally learns how to work a door knob (h/t Matt Lewis).

As noted earlier, Trump won’t end democracy in the U.S., but he likely would in Ukraine and other countries in favor of the autocrats he admires so much.

So yes, I’d take Kamala over Trump Unchained but I won’t vote for either of them.

Haha. Don't take the bait! As a recent poll shows, 80% of us here would vote for Harris over Trump. You don't need to explain anything.

You’re right, of course, but I wanted to use the velociraptor line, which I enjoyed very much.

I think 15 seconds is even way too much time.

This was a bit of a shocking twist after you made your case.

This is one of a bajillion instances that I could say 'sure Trump would totally do...'. But I want to see the reporting on this. If it's true, that would be in the worst things that Trump has done list.

Harris is the worse democrat candidate and didn’t even make it to Ohio…. Didn’t get a single vote.

Wait until you see all the delegates case their vote for Harris on Thursday night.

I'm still skeptical, but Judy Woodruff is about as legit as one could get.

More lofty campaign news that I hope Trump hears about: a hot dog vendor outside the convention is selling Trump Foot Longs. They are three inches in length.

Haha. That sounds like something the Good Liars would do.

That. Is. Awesome.

Bold strategy Cotton. Let's see how it plays out for them:
