Probably still pissed off at all the insults and names that your lying media attack dogs have called her daughter over the past 4 years.

Oh BTW your article says that five people died on January 6th, but that's not true either now is it? I guess the fact that the only person who died on Jan 6th was an unarmed protester murdered by a government agent would have the same "fact checking" impact so they embellished it with people who died weeks and months later for reasons not even related to Jan 6th.

And the rest of his obvious fantasies about the MLK crowd and helicopter ride with Willie Brown that never happened, etc. Trump's version of reality amounts to whatever falls out of his mouth at any given moment.

I think the smartest thing the former GOP can do is concentrate on electing non-MAGA down ticket candidates and then voting Harris into office. That gives them four years to cough out the Trump/MAGA hairball and form a platform that can win in 2028.

Or the fantasy the economy is good. The border secured. Inflation Reduction Act is such ground breaking legislation Biden should be memorialized on Mt. Rushmore.

As compared to an actual fantasy of how much better it would have been with a Trump second term. The economy is good, and the stock market is thriving except for Trump Media which is down something around seventy points simply because it's just another house of cards Trump sham like all of his failed businesses.

Another concerning matter for the Trump campaign; I heard on the radio news (local CBS affiliate) of a very recent survey where a group of voters (declared as likely to vote in the November Election) where, in an one-on-one face off, Harris was a favorite 51% to Trump's 49%; however when other non DEM/GOP candidates were added to the mix( RFK, Jr, third party, etc.), Harris remained at 51%, but Trump lost support and fell to about 46%; such a hit on Trump's potential support does not bode well...

...and there are also a number of polls taken among GOP voters where, when asked about Trump as a candidate, 25% of the GOP voters polled stated they wished the GOP had picked another candidate; if you take into account how many of those 1 in 4 GOP voters will opt to either sit out the election and not vote, or vote for Harris or some other 3rd party candidate/write-in, the potential loss of votes for the GOP is indeed concerning...

Independents have changed the voting landscape in the past. JFK never got much traction. It takes money.

Yes, we have changed the voting landscape; young voters just recently coming into the political process are very far less inclined to settle for the "my party right or wrong" mindset and opt for a more self-determined selection process; I applaud them for actually having free will and some degree of discernment...

I certainly wouldn’t have blamed if you said you were serious.

I think what you wrote it is better related to the above, not Mapuc
Because after the first failed storm on the capitol what does anyone think happens this time if Trump loses again? May well be the end of democracy in the US. On the other hand what is a democracy worth where only the richest people have a chance to even become a candidate.
