The 2024 General Election

[loco]

DemonCraps are scared:

California is preparing to defend itself — and the nation — against Trump 2.0

"Gov. Gavin Newsom is readying an army of bureaucrats to defend the state's nation-leading climate policies against a potential second Trump administration.

Newsom administration officials are keenly aware that deep-blue California is a prime target for former President Donald Trump's political diatribes and policy rollbacks — and they fully expect he'll resume his attacks on the Golden State if he wins in November."

Newsom is busy raising hamburger prices.

Yes, because so many of the people that have been arrested for being near the building on Jan 6th have been charged with insurrection.

Tell me oh wise(ass) legal expert, why is this?

About 750 people have been sentenced, most did or are doing time in prison. Their sentences range from a few days of intermittent confinement to 22 years. The longest sentence was handed down to Enrique Tarrio, was convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors described as a plot to stop the transfer of power. It would have been better for him had they charged him with insurrection because this crime has a maximum 10-year sentence and a fine. Since an insurrection is inciting a rebellion, this might be reserved for Trump since many believe he incited or instigated the events on January 6, 2020. It also means he cannot hold a public office.

Trump will pardon them all as he should. No one should be jailed for an insurrection because an insurrection never occurred.

Why is that? It was a witchhunt to use him and his group as an example that if you are outside of the governments control they will persecute you whether you're guilty or not. Pretty simple thing to see to anyone with common sense, wouldn't expect you to get it.

Newsom should focus on defending himself from the newest recall that's chasing him around.

[Dos Equis]

Guess we will know this for certain if and when the Supreme Court considers whether Trump should be disqualified under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment and whether the events of that day qualify as an "insurrection."

Everyone should already know it was not an insurrection based on (1) common sense and (2) the fact no one has been charged with insurrection.

Trump's answer on Social Security was a huge mistake. SS and abortion are killing republicans. They should be up 30 points.

[Thin Lizzy]

Going forward you have to include Kennedy:

Yeah those issues are definitely going to play a role in November.

[Dos Equis]

We just might see another situation like Ross Perot.  Kennedy will not get nearly the number of votes, but he very well could get enough to impact the results in swing states.

They are realizing just how much we have at stake in November. 

Many GOP billionaires balked at Jan. 6. They’re coming back to Trump.
Elite donors are rediscovering their affinity for the former president over taxes — even as he vows to free Jan. 6 defendants, promises mass deportations and faces 88 felony charges

So the guy who claims to have seen an alien spaceship is trying to go back to Congress.  Why not?  What could go wrong?

Being in the House is miserable. Some former members still want to come back.
Regardless of the last time they’ve held federal office, should they win, they’ll be entering a Congress that is very different from their previous terms.

Given Mr Trumps pro life credentials (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization)  is it significant that he has said little or nothing about the forthcoming aportion referendum in Florida

I can't believe republicans are pressing on the abortion issue along with SS in an election year. It's like they want to lose. Then again, democrats are pressing the transgender stuff and insulting christians. Who runs these national campaigns?

[Primemuscle]

Mr Trump is now the only Republican party presidential candidate . In the recent primaries  (why are they even having them) He got:

79% in Connecticut,
82 % in New York,
84 % in Rhode Island,
79 % in Wisconsin.

A fifth or so of GOP voters are still just showing up to vote  for somebody else instead.
What the duck is wrong with them?

I believe every state holds either a primary election or a caucus. And you answered your own question when you wrote that a fifth or the GOP voters are voting for a candidate other than Trump.

Those people don't really matter.  I created a thread in 2015 or 2016 that kept track of the enormous number of GOP voters who did not vote for Trump in the primaries.  I'm not sure he ever got 50 percent of the vote in any state until very late in the process.  I thought it showed how poorly he would do in the general.  I was wrong.

Never Trumpers voting for Haley:

Never Trumpers voting for Haley:

Haley was my choice, but that ship sailed once she suspended her campaign. It will be nothing short of a miracle if she gets back on the ballot.

You should definitely throw your support behind Ross Perot.

[Primemuscle]

You should definitely throw your support behind Ross Perot.

You have not been paying attention, Chaos. I am clear that I do not support ancient people for the Presidency. Niki Haley is 52 years old which is pretty much the prime of life today. Also, it is past time to put a female in office. I cannot support Kennedy for two reasons; the first being that with his speech affliction, I cannot understand what he is saying, (maybe this is good), the second being I suspect he is another nut job like Trump… only with different issues.

Yes I have Buzz Killington.  I was laughing at chaos telling you to support Ross Perot, who died in 2019.  It's not really funny when you have to explain it.
