Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[LP]

While The West Wing may have raised our expectations, it seems that it didn’t have the effect on Americans ?

There is a huge void in the GOP demographic, that sits between those who can't afford cable and those that own the cable.

As crazy as it might sound (but crazy is the normal in this race ) the result of the election may be determined by how the Biden/Harris administration is "perceived" to respond to the Hurricane about to hit Florida.
It won't be about the actual response, but how it is spun by various sides, the disinformation, and how the voters digest that information.

The problem for the Democrats is that when you're up against a Hurricane the results are never going to be good.

Everyone seems to agree that the response to the last hurricane was as good as it gets, with one exception.  That person also claimed that hurricanes at this time of the year are unusual despite it being peak hurricane season ?

The hurricanes are hammering the red states and may not have much impact on the election.  Outstanding hurricane responses won’t flip those states.

Spend a half hour on the American cable channels this morning and have a listen to Biden talking about some of the rumour and disinformation at his brief press conference regarding the hurricane.
It's going to dominate 'political' news for the next week or two.

The ability to actually vote may also be an issue for the folks affected.

That could be a critical factor, particularly with Democrats being more likely to vote early (and often ?).

As crazy as it may sound the Dark MAGA crew are claiming that the hurricane was engineered by Democrats to stop Republicans voting.

And there are reports out that the GOP is already sowing seeds of doubt about voting, I gather that because they don't like what the polls are saying.

Rather than change direction the GOP is happy to crash headlong into a wall, before blaming the wall!

While MAGA may have effectively taken control of GOP, there are still prominent GOP representatives who are concerned about the threat to their form of democracy posed by MAGA.  I think that it's worth drawing a distinction between MAGA and GOP figures who have either endorsed Harris or made it known that they won't vote for Aurangzeb, including Mike Pence, James Comey, Andrew McCabe (who believes that Aurangzeb is a Russian asset), Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney,  and many others

Take a leaf out of Trumps book and just say something inane like Hurricanes are bad and they will go 'punch it in the face' or something equally childish. Seems to work for Trump.

I'm triggered by Trump's rhetoric, he continues to make the world a meaner more dangerous place for his own financial benefit.

Now I'm becoming more and more cynical about the "assassination attempts", it seems he gets a bump in the polls every time they are reported, and this latest "survival" as reported by News Ltd was someone caught 2km away with guns and a fake ID.

Who'd have thought within a 2km radius you'd find someone carrying a gun in the USA, and who'd have thought in the world Trump creates there would be fakery? :
