What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

The trouble is more with the enablers and followers than the man himself (who might attract as much pity as scorn were it not for the office he held)

Regarding those who say that Trump is the only one Biden could beat - possibly true but it assumes that the Republican base would vote for another candidate and not just scrawl TRUMP or MAGA across the ballot (if paper).

What about the Time Magazine Stormy smacked his butt with?

Pity the judge didn't understand the point well enough to find in the rapist's (and racist's) favour.

Ah,well.

But he does still have the court of public opinion where that behaviour is apparently defensible to some.

Let's take a look at some of the questions by that pollster:

"Do you agree or disagree that there is a double standard and bias at Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, the FBI and the IRS, where they continue to target Republicans like Donald Trump, but these same groups go easy and give sweetheart deals to Joe Biden and his family members when the evidence shows Joe Biden and his family have failed to pay their taxes, taken bribes and extorted money from our enemies such as the Communist Chinese and Russia?"

"Do you agree or disagree President Biden and his Justice Department are pushing the indictments of President Trump to divert attention away from the investigation of cocaine in the White House and alleged bribes of the Biden family by foreign companies including Communist China?"

"Do you agree or disagree that Joe Biden’s Justice Department should stop targeting Donald Trump and interfering with the upcoming presidential election and Biden should let the voters decide who the next president should be?"

I was trying to find a source for the actual questions asked and was unable, probably reflecting my own ability to search than anything else. Where did you find them? The nearest I got was the Roper Centre, but it is paywalled so I did not pursue it. You would think that questions should be available if the polls are balanced. Those questions are ridiculous.

Correct, polls are irrelevant now and that’s for both candidates.

Why would an independent voter pick trump?

Those are the voters he needs

Of course it's no coincidence that Fani Willis is prosecuting Trump in Georgia. She's the DA, in Georgia. The crimes relate, to Georgia. Trump et al were trying to change the election results, in Georgia.

If Fani Willis was prosecuting him in Maine for trying to overturn the election results in Nevada, that would be insane.

Trump targeted Georgia in 2020 for the precise reason that the election results were close there, and it was worth 16 electoral college votes. If his plan worked there, it could work for smaller states, but his plan wouldn't work at all, without Georgia.

So yeah, it's no coincidence whatsoever. He's being prosecuted by the DA of the state he committed crimes against.

The Democrats don't necessarily need Biden to win; They just need to make sure Trump loses. So democrats need to start hammering home the the four messages to see them home when Trump is announced as GOP nominee;

1) Register early to vote, before they take your vote away, because the GOP are coming to take your vote. They already tried to dismiss your vote by staging an insurrection to overthrow the last election. They want to remove your vote. So register and vote when you can to stop him ending your right to vote.

2) A vote against Trump is a vote to protect an individuals rights to their own body. Trump is coming to take away your right of bodily autonomy. So register and vote to have the final say over your own body, not the Trump or the GOP.

3) Trump tried to steal the country. He tried to destroy American democracy. He tried to destroy the constitution. He tried to destroy your voice over how the country is run. Register and vote to protect American democracy and the US constitution from being destroyed by Trump and the GOP.

4) Trump is a traitor. He turned against the US and tried to destroy the authority of the people. He should have been tried for treason. And if allowed, Trump and the GOP will commit treason again by over-turning the will of the people.

Not exactly the cleanest messages, but you're not going to win a cold civil war by playing nice, and Trump and the GOP have shown, there's no gutter too deep that they won't into, which means that if the democrats want to win, they're going to have to get a bit filthy themselves. Trump and the GOP are a threat to the US, and ramming home again and again until it becomes a mantra to people that Trump and the GOP are traitors to the country, they're coming to steal your vote, they're coming to end your democracy and coming to take control of your body should be enough to get voters out against Trump as opposed to getting them out for Biden. Absolutely ram it home, video's, catchy slogans, all democrats rowing behind this one, the lot. All Biden himself would have to do is just keep the economy going.

And the best part, is that due to Trump and the GOP's own actions over the past few years, it's actually the truth.

Where exactly do you think Willis could have prosecuted Trump if not Georgia?

The Arrignments in Georgia have been set for sept 6th for all the 19 indicted.

Yep I seen that. It also seems tha Lauro started raising his voice in court today. Literally one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
