This is what a losing campaign looks like . . .

I’ve obviously been following the polls because I’m a sicko and the betting markets have pretty heavily bias one way or the other. But I’m paying the most attention to DJT stock (and because I have puts on it). That thing has cratered since July likely because investors know it’s worthless without Trump in the WH.

Tomorrow is the big day
 
TL;DR Summary:


David Frum's article critiques the Trump-Vance 2024 campaign, describing it as chaotic and disorganized. He highlights J.D. Vance's frequent social media outbursts and distractions, which stand in stark contrast to the behavior of past vice-presidential candidates. Frum points out how Vance’s involvement in Twitter arguments and Trump’s focus on promoting fringe topics, such as a cryptocurrency venture, signals a campaign that lacks seriousness and coherence.

Frum also underscores how this behavior is hurting their campaign, with poll numbers showing Kamala Harris pulling ahead in key swing states. Trump’s fixation on bizarre and inflammatory claims, like accusing Haitian immigrants of stealing pets, further alienates voters and GOP leaders. As the campaign spirals into self-inflicted chaos, Frum suggests that both Trump and Vance may not fully grasp the extent of their potential loss.
It's a cult. What I fear is that as a cult loses its power it becomes harder and harder for the leader to excite the followers. The language must become more extreme to get them to believe the "others", are subhuman, and only the leader can save them.
This campaign is only going to get worse as Trump sees victory slipping away

This Is What a Losing Campaign Looks Like​

How does Donald Trump’s running mate have so much time on his hands?
By David Frum
September 18, 2024

A first draft of this story opened: “It’s not every day that a candidate for vice president of the United States rage-tweets at you.”

Backspace, backspace, backspace. Although it’s not every day that a candidate for vice president of the United States rage-tweets at me personally, it is almost every day that Senator J. D. Vance rage-tweets at somebody. (I had tweeted, in part, this: “The difference: The upsetting things said by Trump and Vance are not true. The upsetting things said about Trump and Vance are true.” Vance responded: “I’d say the most important difference is that people on your team tried to kill Donald Trump twice.”)

But then here he was yesterday, for example, quote-tweeting one of the English-speaking world’s premier apologists for the Assad dictatorship in Syria, in order to assail Hillary Clinton. On September 14, he was mixing it up in the X comments with a reporter for The Intercept and the host of an online talk show.

In other words, to have J. D. Vance as your own personal reply guy is not such an accomplishment.

But it raises the question of how a nominee for vice president has so much time on his hands. Can you imagine, say, Dick Cheney, scrolling through his mentions, getting irritated, and firing off a retort? Neither can I.

So here’s my second draft: What we’ve been seeing from Trump-Vance is not the behavior of a winning campaign.

The day before Vance tweeted at me, former President Donald Trump was livestreaming to promote a dubious new cryptocurrency venture. That same day, he gave an interview to the conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root in which Trump reverted to old form to denounce mail-in voting because the U.S. Postal Service could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly.

The day before that, the Secret Service had fired upon a man with a rifle near Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. The apparent assassination attempt drove the headlines, but beneath the story was the reality that a candidate for president took a day off to golf only 50 days before Election Day.

Trump golfs a lot, and campaigns surprisingly infrequently. When he does campaign events, he makes odd choices of venue: Today, he will appear in New York’s Nassau County. New York State has not voted Republican for president since 1984. In 2020, Trump won 38 percent of the New York vote. Yet Trump has convinced himself, or somebody has convinced him, that this year he might be competitive in New York.

Yesterday, Trump posted a pledge on his Truth Social platform to restore the deductibility of state and local taxes. That’s an important issue for upper-income taxpayers in tax-heavy New York. Trump did not mention that he himself, as president, signed the legislation that capped state and local deductibility at the first $10,000, to help fund the Republican tax cut of 2017.

Vice President Kamala Harris has been driving a message of abortion rights and middle-income-oriented economic policy in must-win states. She sat for back-to-back solo interviews, both in Pennsylvania, the first with a local ABC affiliate, the second with the National Association of Black Journalists on the Philadelphia public station WHYY.

Trump’s main message of the week, meanwhile, has been that he was not wrong to accuse Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of stealing and eating pets—a message that has put him at odds with the state’s Republican governor and local mayors and police chiefs. The only thing Trump said that made more impact were the four words he posted Sunday morning: I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!

Your candidate kamala wants to get rid of the first and second ammendment, kill more babies and sterilize young boys and girls all while implementing a socialist/marxist government. That sounds anti American and a losing strategy. So suck it
You sound like the speech writer for the drump-jd campaign.
Dumb AF and helping them stay on the losing track.
Buy better drugs. You need better drugs.
 
The problem is that cults can, in their death throes, lash out at others...think Jim Jones sending people to kill Leo Ryan and others at the airport but imagine that on a much larger scale. You think Trump wouldn't call for violence?
You’re talking on the larger scale. I’m just talking about the cult members here, those that I don’t have on ignore that is. Their downward spiral is spectacular to see.

On the larger scale though, if he calls for violence and the cult follows his commands then they should be put down like Kristi Noems dog.
 
If only that was how elections were determined. Damn rules.
In almost all elections the winner is determined by the most votes. The first time Cons got the most votes but Dems were declared the winner you'd scream bloody murder over the idiotic EC

Edit: changed to scream bloody murder from lose your minds over the EC. You lost your minds a long time ago

Like normal, she won't actually state what she believes, but her voting does the talking.

Buy better drugs. Indica (in da couch) is one suggestion.
You are wound way tight, dude.
 
OP sure loves him some dirty neocons.

Frum belongs in jail with the rest of the Bush/Cheney, lying war criminal gang who stole billions of dollars from a sovereign nation that had NOTHING to do with 9/11, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis in the process.

Pathetic.

I'm not counting on more people liking Harris at this point. That she has gone over the 50 percent mark in many categories is heartening, but there are soft spots in key voting blocs that are troubling. What I am now counting on is Trump driving his numbers even lower with a sprint to Election Day being a racist, misogynistic slob. And, turnout. Dems have got to drive turnout.

You don't even bother to read what you link. That's why you so often refute your own argument. But you're too stupid and gullible to recognize it.

From the article you linked:

What's False
She has not explicitly stated that she supports the termination of a pregnancy at any time just before birth.

pjmedia and the dailysignal - Good lord some of you need help.
 
You are getting worse by the day. I hope you make it when Trump loses.
Pretty sure he will be ok if Trump loses considering he isn’t in office right now. On the other hand, if the dems lose. I strongly believe we lose half the people on this board that just come here to piss and moan about Trump. What a lovely day that will be.
 


This is what a losing campaign looks like. We know because we've seen it before. Even Iran and Hillary won't be able to carry the dead weight that is Kamala harris over the finish line.
