There could well be some truth in what you say but personally I'm looking forward to seeing if Harris is as bad at debating as some on here insist.

On a more positive note, I'll be in Cyprus celebrating my Ruby Wedding Anniversary so I hope the wife won't mind me watching.

Really? Feel lucky that I am not your wife!

Trump certainly has an issue with size. Crowds. Hands.

Trump team acknowledges they accidentally drove Democrats to the polls in 2020

The Trump campaign is trying to learn from its mistakes in 2020, according to a new report by The New York Times — specifically, they want to stop accidentally pushing Democrats to the polls.

"The Trump officials ... said they had learned from mistakes of the last cycle," reported Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, and Shane Goldmacher. "One of Mr. Trump’s 2024 advisers said that the 2020 campaign had poorly anticipated which voters were actually persuadable, only to learn that as many as 80 percent of the people it believed could be swayed were actually hardened partisans, which led to costly wasted efforts. In some cases, the Trump campaign wound up driving Biden supporters to the polls, officials said."

"Who exactly is the 59-year-old woman aspiring to be the world’s most powerful person? That’s the beauty of the Kamala Harris campaign. Who knows? The Democratic nominee has already become the political equivalent of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books."

Looks like her own people think she's a dung beetle? As a fellow 59 year old I believe I'd make a better President, but the discovery of my image in porn videos would eliminate me from the Republican ticket.

Now that is funny. That will get a nomination.

I'd have thought more chance of this happening if Trumo doesn't win.

GOP education candidate urged Trump to suspend Constitution and declare military coup

North Carolina superintendent candidate Michele Morrow urged former President Donald Trump on January 6 to suspend the Constitution and use the military and martial law to stay in power, according to CNN's KFILE.

Morrow traveled to the Capitol on the day of the insurrection, wrote Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski, but there is no evidence she rioted at the complex or joined the crowd in breaking into the facility.

She did, however, post a Facebook Live stream from her hotel room in which she proclaimed anyone who helped certify the 2020 presidential election should be arrested.

“And if the police won’t do it and the Department of Justice won’t do it, then he will have to enact the Insurrection Act, in which case the Insurrection Act completely puts the Constitution to the side and says, now the military rules all.”
Asked for comment by CNN, Morrow refused to address her comments on the stream, saying, “What North Carolina voters are concerned about is the education of our children.”

This isn't the first controversial statement Morrow, a registered nurse and homeschooling activist who defeated incumbent GOP Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt in a surprise primary upset, has made on social media.

Among other things, Morrow suggested President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama should be executed for treason, with Obama's killing aired on pay-per-view; that the Chinese Communist Party stationed thousands of troops in Canada to steal the presidential election from Trump; and has endorsed conspiracy theories from the Nazi-influenced QAnon movement.

All of this comes as the North Carolina GOP also faces scrutiny over extremist views of their gubernatorial nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who has downplayed the Holocaust, said America was better back when women didn't have the right to vote, and proposed that elementary schoolers shouldn't be taught science or history.

CNN. Sigh....

Trump's fantasy world on display. I wonder how Ashli Babbitt's mom feels about the claim that nobody was killed on January 6th.
