Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Good luck with that.

They seem like flimsy arguments. And how this guy doesn't appeal to the greater electorate, I mean, that's just bonkers to me.

It's a set of boilerplate GOP attacks. Seem easily blunted.

For self future reference

that truth social crud will get interesting for gaffs.

 

[LinekersLegs]

agree but also politics is weird; you can't really predict what sticks and what doesn't

“Couches” for example!

How can you not like this guy - as a human being?

What influence does a President have over the economy?

MAGA world, which is the land of the decidedly anti-socialist/communist free market

Beside the point a bit, but is that really true?

Trump wants to put up more barriers to free trade than just about any US President in history.

The GOP repeatedly bangs the drum of "the Dems are socialist". Marxist/Socialist crazy Libs. Etc, etc.

Free Capitalism!!! Get rid of all regulations!!! Etc etc.

So you'd think they'd be all for less government interference with the economy.

Thought this an excellent summary

And those are?

What I've seen with my own eyes post-Biden stepping down is nothing short of amazing.

As well as talking with everyone I know about the lack of Trump enthusiasm that is everywhere. Midwest, South, Appalachia, rural, urban.

There is just a totally different vibe to a month ago

Same story here in TN. I haven’t seen any Democratic signs up yet, but given that they just finalized the ticket today, that’s no surprise. The only Trump stuff I see is the crazies with flags flying from the back of their pickups or houses who basically never took it down in 2020. I do drive by one house every week with a half American/half Israeli flag (where does one even buy such an abomination?), and a sign that say “Jesus is my Savior, but Trump is my president.”

I know it won’t be competitive, and even if Kamala does quite well here Trump will still get 60% of the votes. But there does seem to be considerably less enthusiasm for Trump compared with 2016 and 2020.
