2024 Election prediction/discussion

I’m not so sure. I want to see the numbers first. W “won” the Hispanic vote with 40%. But he spoke Spanish, as does his wife and a good portion of his family. And he had a Mexican-American sister-in-law helping him stump and raise money.

If Trump outperforms him, I’ll listen to arguments on a shift.

If she loses, the story will be that she didn’t have time to develop her message.

The reality is that the fundamentals didn’t favor her with inflation, the retreat from Afghanistan and real weakness in opportunities for young men in our society.

Top that off with the fact that she just wasn’t a good candidate. She’s not good at it. Appears incapable of relaxing or delivering concise answers. Refused to discuss any plans. Not really inspiring. Not as bad as Clinton, but up there. They needed a retail politician to overcome inflation. They selected maybe the worst choice for that out of the dozen or so contenders.

I’ve talked for months that Harris was simply an awful candidate. She was awful in the 2020 primary and history repeated itself as it often does. Just a bad move by the Dems. Looking forward to national vote numbers tomorrow to see if the Dem defeat tonight was due to Pubs voting above 2020 numbers or Dems just not showing up to support a bad candidate.

Reads like you're more interested in the mechanics of elections than if the candidate you support and their policies are actually good for the United States. Conragts, you're a political operator. We get it. So was Goebbels.

I think he has been involved with politics. Too much arguing in politics. Too much trying to persuade people rather than doing real work

My political involvement has been in voting. My only political contribution ever was 10 bucks to John Kasich when he was running for President. That tells you what I think about politics.

Oh boy, another lobster who doesn't recognize they're in a pot of boiling water.

Probably a little of each. It will likely be uneven across the country.

It will mostly be a lot of people who don’t really even consider who is running. The choice for them was between $5 for a dozen eggs or maybe not $5 for a dozen eggs.

Living in past bad times, not looking ahead.

In most instances you could interchange their names on the negative points you outline here, but what are you going to do with such wonderful choices in both parties? As I said before, living on inflationary experiences that are mostly over.

Ironic that Trump is being hailed as a savior of the economy when it was his pal Putin who caused the largest exacerbation of commodity prices which drove inflation…. What’s in this victory for Russia?
