rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

Apparently Trump's lawyer has covid, or at least people suspect she has covid. So there's at least one potential upside to covid sticking around.

and she was sitting right next to him

O Lord, please hear my prayers

Guys guys, calm down. We all know how disappointingly his last bout of covid turned out.

From what I remember he probably would have died without the presidential level care (and by now he's presumably replaced his medical team with 100% quacks).

I heard it was a jury member with covid, but hopefully they were within infection distance

This is the second time I'm rooting for the virus.

xpost Habba apparently had dinner with her parents a couple of days ago, and now they have covid, and she herself, despite testing negative this morning, has a fever and isn't feeling well. So whether it's covid, RSV, flu, herpes, pneumonia, a cold, cooties, whatever, here's hoping she gives him whatever it is she has.

I was just about to say how I parse it differently to o nate & realised the version I know is actually x8

yea it's not really getting talked about but the last few weeks of Trump/Biden polling has looked better for Joe

I have noticed the media has started paying attention to the fact that Trump is even more incoherent than usual, it's not even the weird rambling he usually does

Trump: Which is incapable of solvin’ even the sollest problem. We are an institute in a powerful death penalty. We will put this on pic.twitter.com/eM7dTV8iHe

Part of the reason for Trump's low poll numbers is just Republicans supporting Haley or whoever who aren't ready to come around to Trump just yet. But they will.

some of the polls only give Biden and Trump as options

In our new Pa poll, McCormick (in Senate race) is overperforming Trump (in POTUS race) w/ GOP voters because Trump is showing signs of GOP defections as a result of the divisive GOP nomination battle in Iowa/NH. Haley is the elephant in the room PUN INTENDED.

well sure some of those folks will wind up backing Trump but idk I kinda feel like committing 100 felonies and quoting Hitler may actually be a dealbreaker for some people

"We are an institute in a powerful death penalty"--that's Norm-Crosby level.

We will put this on

"We are an institute in a powerful death penalty" will make exactly zero difference to his supporters, who effortlessly extract his intended meaning when he says this kind of nonsense. What matters to them is the tune not the lyrics.

I think I read an account a week or so ago of a rally, and there's a conversation overheard between a couple of supporters who are on board until a certain point of the speech, at which time they said, okay, now he's just babbling, and then they left early. Apparently that's a common occurrence, even among the faithful.

take what he says melodically, not lyrically

We worship a powerful Death Penalty in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states.

Never let logic get in the way of the groove

one nation under a death penalty

It's got a good beat, and I can leave early to it

swing down sweet chariot stop and you let me die

I have no kick against modern jabs
Unless they try to kill you too darn fast
And change the beauty of the penalty
Until it feels just like some chemistry

he's probably on a near-lethal dose of adderall everyday, running here and there, ping ping ping pewww whoosh

Sununu: If he is off the teleprompter he can't keep a cogent thought. I worked with him closely. He is not the same guy. He is nearly 80 years old.
 
Faulkner: 77.

Of the two observations Sununu made, Trump's age is "nearly" irrelevant.

"We are an institute in a powerful death penalty" will make exactly zero difference to his supporters, who effortlessly extract his intended meaning when he says this kind of nonsense. What matters to them is the tune not the lyrics.

well I'm not really sure what the intended meaning here is unless it's just him going "this country sucks now" which I don't think is exactly gonna be a winning message. regardless I think the point is that Trump's 2016 victory had a lot to do with the fact that he was actually a pretty good showman who understood the art of shitposting and (accidentally?) said funny things all the time. now not only does he often talk like he's having a stroke but more often than not he's just boring. what was the last Trump phrase that entered the common vernacular? "Perfect phone call"? I think this shit really does matter! GOP voters obviously don't care about policy, what they care about is entertainment. now that DeSantis is out and we're finding the "war on woke" doesn't really mean that much to GOP voters, what exactly are they gonna run on? "I'm above the law and might turn into Hitler"?

hasn't "this country sucks now" always been his message? what else could MAGA mean?

yes but there was also the whole "I can fix it because I'm a very successful businessman who will be CEO of America" angle which I think actually did play well but he can't exactly run on that anymore

I think "three paragraphs of bullshit" was some 2016 level material

but he can't exactly run on that anymore

You should be otm here, but I think you are overestimating the MAGA crowd. My Trumper uncle to this day still swears the man is a business genius and he's only had trouble in recent years because WITCH HUNT.

Plus he's still hated by the right people, can't disregard "enemy of my enemy" even amid Trump's diminished imp of the perverse

Trump doesn't have to run on the issues any more than he did the first time. He'll get his votes simply for being Trump and for being the Republican nominee. It's become a running joke that reporters will ask Trump voters what they like most about him and they answer 'he was a great president', but when asked to name any specific accomplishments they just mumble and can't name anything he did. Even if he's visibly babbling nonsense and never proposes one achievable policy goal during the entire campaign he will still win at least 30 states.

he stole fucking everything

Aimless, did the interviews of which you speak take place in diners?

I can only comprehend political opinions that are expressed in front or Formica and coffee.

Do we have a photos that effortlessly sum up 2024 thread yet?

plot twist: the makeup is the pink bit

I'm not really sure what the intended meaning here

"I will put all of your enemies to death."

He looks so happy and healthy, like he just got back from vacation.

immediately started thinking of Shoresy dialogue bc of that pic… "Is your whole body that color? Even your junk?"

He made fun of DeSantis for eating pudding with his fingers but this dude just puts his whole face in the bowl

he wants to experience what it's like for people of color

Please do not raise the subject of his junk

And also please don't raise his junk

Just to be clear

The world has already heard too much about it
