someone who can deliver a rational message in complete sentences.
trump’s former press secretary (a republican) will also speak along with other republicans.
see the maga people called in bomb threats to chicago hotels and swatting the republican who spoke last night. classy.
apparently trump is now going down the “she’s a foreigner” path. that should work out good for him.
John
So the Democrats have or will have had speeches by 2 former presidents, the current president, the former nominee….
And Trump had Hulk Hogan and Amber Rose.
GWB? Dick Chaney? Mitt Romney? Mike Pence? Paul Ryan?
Not a single member of the now GQP legacy leadership would agree to attend or endorse him.
Thats kind of telling…
John
And according to Jessie Waters and Comer, Waltz is now a deep plant Chinese stooge!
Don't forget that part!

Obama needs to put aside the 'we go high' rhetoric for a minute. We know he can from his epic roasts of Trump at White House Correspondent dinners.
Hit Trump in going back to his racist birther and DEI insinuations at Harris that he experienced.
Hit at Trump's limited vocabulary ineloquence compared to his.
Biden looked back at his accomplishments yesterday and it is time for Obama to do the same to put the stake in Trumpism/MAGA.
Peter Neil
yeah, there's so much to nuttiness to unpack every day and exhausting to write it all up. have to let others have some fun, too. he went so far into orbit today, fox had to cut him off. the people he was rambling to were dead silent. in shock.
bass4funk
We got Trump because of Obama
That won't work, but it will work for him in proving Trump was right.
Obama can't say anything because thanks to video archives, the man cannot speak well off the cuff without his teleprompter, he tends to drift, so I am sure if he wants to go there, the Trump campaign can turn that against him, so if I were Barack Hussein Obama, I would think about that before opening up his mouth
Reading all the headlines, it seems a lot of Dems were not happy with Biden and his Swan song angry diatribe, but that's all history now.
John
Wonder what the insecure Don is going to think about viewership outpacing his cult’s snooze-fest?
And that was before the Obama’s speak.
Someone better get kid-schlock on the phone!
John
Does he have to literally point and read his script like your boi did at his golf club last week?
No?
Oh….
bass4funk
I don't think he even is paying attention, knowing how the MSM is, and we don't know the final numbers, this is the second night. Relax.
Then let him speak, and? ROFL!
Give me a break, Obama speaks, he speaks to his crowd and that's it. I am more interested in debates, Obama and the Hollywood crowd care about the adulation and that is all they care about. Funny!

bass4funk
Yup. A whole lot of people got really upset with having a black president. Enter Trump and birtherism and many other dog whistles.
wallace
Many former Republicans including former Trump staff are speaking at the DNC. President Bush never attended the RNC.
bass4funk
I never said anything about the color of the guys skin, I was talking about his toxic policies.
Blame Hillary and Podesta for that one.
bass4funk
The Republican establishment can do that, no one cares, because they have become pretty much a pariah now.
Underworld
bass4funk
Yup. A whole lot of people got really upset with having a black president.
When if fact it was the color of his skin...

Trump messed up by demanding an early debate. If Biden did really well it sets the tone early in the cycle. If Biden did really poorly they would have time to change candidates. Look what happened.
I'll hand it to the Harris Campaign, ever week has been a net positive. Walz is one of the rare times a VP has had a real positive effect. The roll out rallies have had massive turn outs. Momentum and enthusiasm is on their side. They have captured the every week and pushed the flailing Trump Campaign to the background.
Meanwhile JD Vance is a BOAT ANCHOR on Trump. The campaign has yet to find something actual undecided voters actually care about in terms of oppo on Harris. They are flailing while Harris keeps the momentum going.
The Harris camp feels confident enough they have Walz hitting up purple districts in red states to pull house seats.
Meanwhile Trump is taking the bait from the Lincoln Project and losing his mind over the ads they put on conservative news.
John
Sure, the guy with 5 hours a day watching Faux during “executive time”, Mr. “I’m better looking than she is!” isn’t paying attention, lol.
Bob Fosse
You’ll get Harris because of Obama too.
dagon
Deep fake Taylor Swift endorsements.
AI crowd enhancements.
Which poll number favor me at the moment.
Who is all about adulation?
The MAGA psychological projection mania is off the scale.
Quo Primum
Planned Parenthood has killed 25 unborn babies in its Death-Mobile parked outside at the DNC.
It's killed 25 innocent and vulnerable human beings made in God’s image.
With the Democrat Party's full "blessing."
This is flat-out demonic.
It's evil.
Quo Primum
If Kamala Harris were being truly honest, her message would be:
"Vote for me, the incumbent vice president, because I've got a plan to fix all the problems that our administration has failed to address -- and has even made demonstrably worse."
NOMINATION
Doesn't matter. Commenters here said it is perfectly fine even up to 9 months.
Bob Fosse
With 45’s “blessing” up to 15 weeks is fine.
How demonic is that on your trigger scale?
bass4funk
So what's the problem?
When Obama ran for office he got close to 92% of the black vote, impressive
Kamala has less than 73% of the black vote and Trump decided to more than 20% of the black vote, which is not good news for Kamala, add to that, the Hispanic and law enforcement, I think we don't have to worry about a Harris Presidency.
Bob Fosse
Even if this were correct (got a recent poll?) it won’t be enough. He’s yesterday’s old man.
bass4funk
This is not about skin color, so I am not sure as to why liberals have to always invoke it, quite sickening actually.
bass4funk
Even if this were correct (got a recent poll?) it won’t be enough. He’s yesterday’s old man.
Correct and yes, it is enough to tank Harris, if the Dems didn't think so, they wouldn't panic about trying to bring back black men that have walked away from the party. Even Van Jones made references about that, you don't want to lose more than 2% of the black or latino vote if you are a Democrat.
wallace
bass4funk
So it is about "race"
Quo Primum
Wow.
Earlier this year, even the Democrat-loving media (which is most of the media) was not exactly in political love with Kamala Harris.
For instance, in March this year, even the highly Democrat-leaning Washington Post ran an op-ed piece with the headline:
For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step aside
Go ahead and Google that headline if you don't believe me. Washington Post ran the piece on March 15 of this year. Just five months ago.
The highlights:
"She was a colossal failure as border czar" -- again, this is the "progressive" WaPo saying this.
"Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others."
"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her."
This was all just FIVE MONTHS AGO.
How did Kamala Harris, in the space of only a few months, go from being (a) a horrible political liability for Democrats, to (b) the "future" of the Party and its grand glorious hope?
God help us if this woman becomes president -- which I'm sure the media, who again just a few months ago didn't seem too high on her, will do all they can to make happen.
konjo4u
Obama is 63. That was almost 20 years ago for former President Trump.
Bob Fosse
We’ve been through this. US government officially classify Jamaican ancestry US citizens as African American.
Do you need me to post the .gov link again?
bass4funk
For the left, but what else is new?
Quo Primum
One more thing from that Washington Post op-ed in March of this year:
"Her performance as second in command has been disappointing, to say the least. Americans have taken note ...
"... a recent analysis by FiveThirtyEight set her (Kamala Harris') average overall approval rating at just 37.2 percent, among the lowest recorded for a vice president.
"There’s no reason to think her ranking would spike were she suddenly promoted to the Oval Office. Instead, most signs point to disaster."
Again, this was just five months ago.
And again, this was in the very biased-toward-Democrats Washington Post.
But now, according to the media, she's now suddenly the greatest thing since sliced bread???
Underworld
bass4funk
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
And this is the sort of comment that drives Kamala's poll numbers up, especially among black voters.
u_s__reamer
Obama's elevation to the presidency was a step forward as a symbolic advance against racism, but he accomplished little and left America with a poisonous legacy: Biden and a trail of blood...
bass4funk
Not really, she remains close, and some areas like abortion higher, but she's not leading by 10-15 points over Trump and that is not a good sign for the Dems, in other words, the coronation of Kamala is not certain and then the debates, so once she talks about Crime and immigration it's kinda over for her.
Blacklabel
Obama was such an 8 year disappointment. All the things he could have achieved had he not gone down the racial identity focused path.
Cards fan
Yes, that's totally what happened. Had nothing to do with getting rail-roaded by Mitch McConnell and the far right, which refused to work with him.
DaDude
The one drop rule comes from 1800s white supremacy. NOW you want to adopt it as normal. I see.
Blacklabel
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Jimizo
That was poor.
JD Vance is polling lower than that according to FiveThrirtyEight.
The average has him at 33.3%
A bit hysterical. Which media? I’m sure the rightwing podcasts for teenagers don’t agree. Fox News presenters wouldn’t agree ( but maybe say something else off screen or on WhatsApp groups ).
I don’t think too many see her as having the kind of abilities of Obama or Bill Clinton.
She just needs enough to beat an aging and clearly declining Trump.
Blacklabel
so this is why the Obama presidency was a total disappointment?
bass4funk
That is an understatement.
dagon
Fixed it for you.
And this is coming from someone who worked on the Obama campaign in 2007.
wallace
The Obamas are on the stage. Powerful couple.
wallace
Obama speaks highly of his president and friend Joe Biden.
bass4funk
But did nothing to uplift the Black community, that's a fact. Jessie Jackson as well as Maxine Waters said so.
ROFL!
John
Every convention has a token speaker from the other party.
This one has so many Republicans, current and former eager to speak against Trump that there’s not time for all of them.
lincolnman
This is damning - every Trump supporter here should read this;
“Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s former White House press secretary, came out strongly against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.
Grisham started her short speech by saying that not only was she a Trump supporter, she was also a “true believer” and one of his “closest advisers,” and that Trump’s family was her family.
“I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham said. “Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement-dwellers.”
So in addition to calling you “the great unwashed”, Trump is now saying all his supporters live in Mom’s basement…
Outraged enough yet? Insulted enough yet? Disrespected enough yet?
How much more humiliation does it take for your eyes to open to the MAGA con-job you’ve bought into?
Jimizo
Obama still one of the best in the business in front of an audience.
Blows Harris/Walz/Trump/Vance out of the water.
bass4funk
That's perfectly fine, they should become Democrats or part of the elite swamp left because none of those people would be elected to anything. Kinzinger and Cheney should be happy in their new home. Lol
Peter Neil
i don't understand how anyone could support a politician who called me "basement dweller."
i wish someone could explain why they do that.
the problem with the obama's is they don't just talk, they say something. and use those big words for adults and not adolescent, disjointed crazy talk.
Blacklabel
Let me give you a hint: people lie about Trump for money.
”he took the wheeeeeel”, right? That one got a book deal. What type of payment or opportunity did this one get?
Jimizo
Reminds me of the grifters hosting rightwing podcasts and Fox News presenters caught lying to people they actually despise.
Elites, eh?
Never changes, does it?
bass4funk
Look, for a Chicago street.....politician, he is definitely a good orator there is no disputing that, but so was my BMW salesman.
Jimizo
He is a decent conman. Being doing it all life.
Peter Neil
not the just the delivery, it's the content.
dagon
One thing I can say about Barack Obama is that he has the power to change minds with his words.
To MAGA and Trump and their supporting posters: look at the reception your words get. Do you change minds, convince others with your conspiracies and 'alternative facts'?
Or are you satisfied with just getting some negative attention?
Think about it
Blacklabel
Yeah great talker.
not so great doer.
lincolnman
Best Trump disses of the night;
Biden: “Crime will keep coming down when we put a prosecutor in the oval office instead of a convicted felon.”
Hillary: “Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety,” Clinton said. “Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial ― and when he woke up, he made his own kind of history: the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions.”
Crockett: “America, looking at the two choices before you, who would you hire: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?” she asked the crowd. “Kamala Harris has a resume. Donald Trump has a rap sheet. She presides over the Senate, while he keeps our national secrets next to his thinking chair.”
Raskin: “JD Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor.”
Best diss though goes to Trump - who as related by his former communications director, called his own supporters "basement dwellers"...which may be the only accurate statement he's uttered in four years...
bass4funk
Won't change your social economic surroundings.
Convinced 20% of the Black vote, so I would say unequivocally, yes.
That is on the MSM on the left, that will never change no matter what he does, ever. You can extend that to any conservative. The only praise the left will give to Republicans are people like Cheney and Kinzinger, people who don't matter or have any political sway within the party.
Think about that.
Blacklabel
yep cause “dissing Trump” but having no workable policy for the economy, immigration, foreign policy or crime is totally gonna make you win! Lol
Trumps name was mentioned 130 times more than all of those voter topics combined.
Jimizo
Quality speech from Obama.
Possibly boring for those who prefer education about sharks and electrical conductivity in water and fictional cannibals but hit all the right notes.
bass4funk
Raskin, Crockett, Hillary, you could not get a bigger tent of comedic jokesters in one room, the biggest political leftist agitators, these people themselves couldn't fill a 7-Eleven let alone a stadium on their own.
bass4funk
Not sure about the quality, but it was decent for the occasion, surprisingly, I thought the guys wife was somewhat better, she didn't drone on too long.
dagon
Leftist: Cheney and Kinzinger are abhorrent neo cons.
Think about that.
If you want to match the rhetorical skill of an Obama you have to do better.
He correctly portrayed Trump as a narcissistic sociopath tonight. There is no choice.
Strangerland
Trump occasionally has moments where he reaches Biden-like clarity, and not criticizing Obama was clearly one of them. It would have been a disaster for him.
Unexpectedly, even he's not stupid enough to criticize the boss.
bass4funk
So they say, so they say....
Oh, not mine.
Jimizo
Michelle Obama with a zinger about Trump needing to be reminded that President of the US is one on those “black jobs”.
Her husband hinting that Trump’s obsession with crowd size a pathology linked to insecurity about the size of something else a cheap one but got a laugh.
bass4funk
?
So what does that have to do with Kamala's lies and flip-flopping on her previous policies?
Then Trump should buy one.
Strangerland
Trump has never received an ovation like each of the Obamas got tonight. And he can't even keep his peons until the end of his speeches anymore. He's old, tired, and yesterday.
This Kamalanomenon is today and it is real.
Strangerland
Are we supposed to feel bad or something?
lincolnman
??
Uh....it's Trump's lies and flip-flopping on his previous promises and policies...
He already has one - a Cybertruck. Why did he flip from "they're hoaxes" to "they're fantastic"?
bass4funk
Ahh, that's what the left is telling you? If so, and if that were true then why is the Dem concerned? Because Obama said himself, this is going to be a very close election and it won't be easy, for once the man said something worth listening to.
Evidently, you didn't hear Biden last night.
Doesn't mean that there are many on the left.
We don't go by the popular vote, was never important and never the issue.
Strangerland
It's so.
I'm sure your boi in cognitive decline can some up with some alternative facts to help you cope though.
Peter Neil
it's a higher plane of thought to understand that having an administration that will make more decisions for the good of the nation and more people, than one fixated on self-interest and the good for a few.
bass4funk
I think you mean Harris. Wants to tax you into oblivion, wants to force people to hire and dictate to businesses how they should operate? Thinks Police should be defunded and ICE disbanded?? The woman is just nuts.
Ask him.
Strangerland
There are will be more registered republicans voting for a Democrat this election than ever in history.
You people are so out of touch that you cannot even begin to comprehend the depths of hatred for Trump. November is going to be a fun "I told you so".
The Kamalanomenon is real. The Obamas just said so.
lincolnman
Aren't our Trump supporters here insulted when Trump calls you the "great unwashed" and "basement dwellers"?
Those are pretty deep slams...shows he thinks you are all just suckers he can grift for money....
We know it's painful, but isn't it better to just wake up and acknowledge you got played, and won't be duped anymore?
Blacklabel
Trump has even retaken the lead in the betting markets after the fake bump caused by polls that oversampled Democrats.
bass4funk
Go to my home state and ask the people. particularly Blacks and the police on how they feel about Kamala. How many Law enforcement departments support her?
Peter Neil
it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled.
bass4funk
Sanders, Miller, and McEnany said, he never slandered anyone.
If you believe them, maybe.
Well, we don't believe them, so it's not painful
lincolnman
No, Trump won the "Flip" award....do you;
Still believe life begins at conception?
The vaccine is safe?
EVs are a hoax?
Easy yes or no answers...
I asked YOU...if you don't know, say so...
Strangerland
Fake news put out by the extremist media and podcasts, to cover that Trump's 20% tariffs on everything would add thousands of dollars to costs for the people, while he'd give another tax break to the ultra-rich.
Remember, he crashed the economy. Hard. Left it a disaster. Just like Bush 2.
Remember how inflation is the lowest since Trump crashed the economy now? Notice how the stock market has hit its highest levels? Notice how unemployment is at a record low?
You guys are out of touch. November will be fun. The Kamalanomenon is real.
bass4funk
But that is for the left to admire or enjoy, it has nothing to do with us, so not sure what you are talking about.
And I answered them all
lincolnman
So?
It's what his hand-picked Communications Director said...
Ahhhh, MAGA-meth....
wallace
Trump is the droner, the whiner, the moaner, spreader of fake news and lies.
bass4funk
I hope Dems are paying attention
lincolnman
FlipMaster Funk and the Fake Hillbilly....
Never did - too scared and humiliated...
Strangerland
We paid attention to Trump calling for Mike Pence to be hung. We paid attention to Trump banning abortion. We paid attention to the jury say Trump was guilty of 34 felonies. We paid attention to the jury say trump was guilty of groping E. Jean Caroll. We paid attention to Trump telling Billy Bush on mic that he does exactly that to women.
We paid lots of attention.
America hates Trump.
bass4funk
Then that makes the left 10X as bad.
Sanders, Miller and McEnany all said, he didn't say that
AKA: the Truth
If that were remotely true the race wouldn't be tight.
wallace
bass4funk
Trump is the droner, the whiner, the moaner, spreader of fake news and lies.
Another of your schoolyard comments.LOL
Strangerland
Do you think Trump should start campaigning against them?
Maybe they'll do another switcheroo on you in Sept or Oct!
bass4funk
Just keeping it truthful and real. Can't change history, Harris should know this.
lincolnman
So?
Which is the truth - life begins at conception or abortions should be permitted until the 15th week?
How about EVs - hoaxes or fantastic?
COVID vaccine - safe or poison?
Kaowaiinekochanknaw
Obama = 100% Yaaaaawn

Selective.
The average of the betting markets still has Harris as favourite although the odds have slightly narrowed.
You are a man of the sciences. Be accurate.
bass4funk
Until the debates and then we talk policies and Harris will talk about....
Let me think here.......
Jimizo
The audience seemed fired up.
ArtistAtLarge
A former prosecutor vs. a currently convicted felon. How is this a hard choice?
Also, seems I missed some good zingers. I'll bet Obama brought the heat.
MotMotMot
My taxes went up under Trump. Anyone who lived in a SALT state (which were mostly blue) who was middle and upper middle class income got screwed by the loss of SALT deductions. The tax breaks for the ultra wealthy was paid for on the backs of the middle and upper middle class folks in blue states. The GOP was dead to me at that point.
bass4funk
Very easy choice actually. Just ask the SFPD what kind of legacy she had.
Bob Fosse
An invigorating set of speeches. Polls will show a much wider margin after the DNC.
Harris is your next President Bass, get your excuses ready.

Chuck
I’m pretty busy these next few months. If you know the answer, you could make an actual persuasive answer by just telling us.
Blacklabel
After 2 days of the DNC:
we have no idea who we are or what we stand for, but hey we aren’t Trump. His name been mentioned hundreds of times already.
isn’t your convention to coalesce around your own core beliefs and values and share those and talk about yourselves and what you are gonna do?
the official Dem platform still lists Biden 2nd term multiple times.
some approval bumps for speakers, sure. But who unfortunately aren’t the nominee and make the nominee look really poor in comparison.
bass4funk
Or you could just go and check for yourself, I'm from California so I know. Again, what law enforcement agency supports her? Can't seem to find any, hmmm, now I wonder why.....Oh...
lincolnman
Well, we did learn one thing today - Trump can call his supporters "Basement Dwellers" - and they still love him...
Basement dwellers - as in uneducated losers who live in Mom's basement...
I wonder what other insults he could hurl at them in private and they still would revere him?
I guess the only person that could answer that is Jim Jones...
Underworld
bass4funk
it's a higher plane of thought to understand that having an administration that will make more decisions for the good of the nation and more people, than one fixated on self-interest and the good of a few.
That's what happens when you try to improve policing in the state with police reforms.
Doing good for the people, puts some protected classes noses out of joint.
bass4funk
Basically, Trump, fear, abortion, Trump, Vance, abortion, weird and that's about it, oh Obama was cool, the DNC in a nutshell.
wallace
In his speech, Obama only mentioned Trump five times.
Bob Fosse
An invigorating set of speeches. Polls will show a much wider margin after the DNC.

trump might change out vance for santos. they have a lot in common.

How many decades ago was it you lived there? Remind us.
bass4funk
Not according to 3 senior staff members
If liberals want to believe the rumors of one jilted unknown former whatever she was. Just like the big by the brainchild Hutchenson that Trump actually reached from the back through a small window and grabbed the SS steering wheel and the left actually believed that, apparently, they never rode in a Limo

Kamala Harris snubs the Obamas by leaving Chicago for Milwaukee before they deliver DNC keynote speeches —
with former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, headlining night two of the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris left Chicago and traveled north to Wisconsin to address an almost-capacity arena audience and hold a DNC watch party with rally attendees — an obvious snub of the pair, who took their time in reluctantly endorsing her.
—
What a mess…
—
Obama didn’t save the DNC with his pretty words—it’s been a mess—a) many fake/cringe moments (this has to do with the fact that the MSM and the DP are painting Kamala as something she is not plus the false love shown to Biden) and b) many lies, or at least, distortions of reality.
Kamala's honeymoon phase is coming to an end; Trump is leading in Pennsylvania (it looks like he will win at least 3 battleground states) and she will have a hard time in the debates—the reality is here—it will be a closer race than it would be with Biden, but Trump will be the 47th President.
bass4funk
But they didn't, this admin didn't change anything, and neither did Kamala
What good? What are you talking about???
bass4funk
That has nothing to do with Kamala's history, focus now.
Not that wide and we won't know for sure as the polls and this convention are not over yet. keep the bib on.
I doubt it, especially when you look at the must-win battleground states, Trump gets PA, and it's over.
wallace
Many American voters including Republicans do not want to vote for a felon in the White House.
bass4funk
Most voters overall don't care.
John
Most cultists do.
Jimizo
Is that the average of the polls or are you being selective?
A bit of a habit among some.
Possibly. She isn’t great but Trump is in severe decline.
A bit early to tell. I don’t think the walls have closed in on either candidate at the moment.
lincolnman
None as close to Trump AND Melania than Grisham...
Whatever she was? Don't know Trump's associates very well do you...she was;
1) Trump's White House press secretary
2) White House communications director
3) Chief of staff and press secretary for the first lady Melania Trump from 2020 to 2021, after previously serving as her press secretary from 2017 to 2019.
Sure sounds like a real MAGA-insider...who would know well what Trump called YOU...
wallace
10% of Republican registered voters say they are less likely to vote for Donald Trump following his felony conviction.
bass4funk
Ok, so you made my point for me, one disgruntled woman slanders the guy for whatever reason or motive and 3 more say they never heard anything, and none of the 3 decided to give up on their conservative principles, but this woman did? ROFL! At least she came out of the closet.
Jimizo
It is an absolute zinger.
It’s obviously a partisan audience but you could hear how hard that hit.
One of those when you hear the ‘Oooh’ before the laughs.
I can imagine this one having legs.
bass4funk
No, not even close, as a matter of fact, he's been hovering in the same position consistently now for a few weeks, that's good, that means, Kamala hasn't bested him yet, particularly in the battleground states.
Now that is very true.
bass4funk
We shall see, but if he does, it will help Trump a lot. But still too early to set things in stone.
Jimizo
Where did you read this?
Is it one on those ‘some are saying’ and ‘reports’ things again?

It's all over the place.

Only the most blinded MAGA-fans can deny the implosion of Trump's campaign and him personally...
His campaign crashed as soon as Biden dropped out - after spending millions targeting Biden's AGE...and now all those ads are being used against him... And his entire campaign has been trying to get him to talk policy instead of racist insults - and he ignores them...
So we get unhinged, lie-filled, "weird" rants like his latest speech;
"Donald Trump thinks it should be “illegal” for the public to criticize the Supreme Court justices who rule in his favor. In a bizarre speech over the weekend, between a bad Emmanuel Macron impression and claiming that he is better looking than Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump made a frightening declaration: He believes that those who criticize his judges should be punished."
https://newrepublic.com/post/185078/trump-fascist-threat-proposal-crime-illegal-criticize-judges
He's self-combusting right in front of our eyes...
Sep 18th can't come soon enough...for him or the country....
Jimizo
He’s a politician. His lies are within the usual boundaries of what politicians lie about.
He’s not a pathological liar like Trump.
Still, strange reasoning. I don’t think Trump is boring despite his allergy to the truth. He’s obviously slowing down, slurring, mixing up names and not the man he was, but he’s got something when speaking.
Can be entertaining but less so these days.
Age. Can be cruel.

They will find ways to excuse him for just about anything. Less embarrassing than admitting he really is just as much of a scumbag as everyone else says he is.

Former President Donald Trump said he would consider appointing independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a cabinet position if he were to drop out and endorse the Republican—a move his vice presidential candidate said the ticket was considering the same day.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump told CNN, adding that he would be “honored” by the endorsement. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it,” Trump said.
