Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

I'd say he just wants to win the election so he can go back to golfing.

I think that if his only other option apart from the presidency was jail, he wouldn't have run.

He really looks like he couldn't be arsed to run, saying the same old boring lines. There's not the same fire there that he had 8 years ago. It could be ages, it could be that he's just bored with it, but looking at the alternative, doesn't see what else he can do.

Also, if he really does believe the election is a foregone conclusion due to the officials they've put in place that will refuse to certify the results, he basically just has to phone it in at these rallies.

I think he would have still run. He clearly couldn't accept being beaten the first time and thought he could take Biden if they went again (and he likely wouldn't have been wrong on that). He doesn't want to do the job of President, he never has. He wants status and legacy and reverence. It's why when he says he barely knows anything about Project 2025, I believe him, because he doesn't care. The concern isn't that he agrees with it and will advance it, the concern is that he doesn't give a f*ck about it, and will advance it because the people in his administration and the Heritage Foundation or whatever will change the name of it to Trump 2025 or something and he'll advance it. As well as further enriching himself and his family, giving more power to Israel and Russia so the conflicts end sooner and he thinks that will earn him a Nobel Peace Prize (even though his manner of the conflicts ending sooner would be built on more death and destruction of innocents), and his sycophantic fans will continue to praise him (whereas if he didn't run for President again, he'd start slipping out of public focus and news orgs would have no reason to dedicate so much time to him).

I think he absolutely always would have run again for 2024. His pure narcissistic nature wouldn't have allowed him not to. He lost in 2020 and he needs to right that wrong.

I doubt that they will drop the classified documents case for which he would likely see jail time. It will be revived on appeal since the grounds for dismissal were so way out there that no other judge will agree to them.

To be seen to close down that case for political reasons would look very bad.

He's a sad loser. I have no idea if calling him weird was a completely natural response from Walz, and I have no idea what will come next, but I'm sure at some stage the Dems will point out how much of a loser he is. Never won the popular vote, and while I don't have figures, I would be incredibly surprised if the people he has endorsed have won more than their opponents.

A sad, weird, loser.

Yeah, perfect defence for,

"he never said he supported (some utterly heinous thing). He only ever said he appreciated the support of the people (that carried out some heinous thing).

They're completely different."

Oh I'd say he knows a bit about it, but probably mostly where it relates to what will benefit him (such as filling departments with people loyal to him, things that would affect elections, extensions to his powers etc). Other than that he might know the executive summary of it but mostly doesn't care about it.

But yeah, he could have written the thing himself but he'd still deny knowing anything about it and especially when it's becoming an anchor around their necks.

If I were the Dems I would run ads with it described as the Republican manifesto. Show him inaugurating it and then show him denying it.

Run it every day.

You forgot "I can't get no satisfaction from my hot wife so I abuse women"

Just to remind everyone again, Trump is still slight favourite to win back the Whitehouse.

A man who throws a jealous temper tantrum when 16 hostages get released claiming he could have got more out and cash as well and everyone is a big doodie face.

You wouldn't hear it from an infant.

Oh I fully expect Donnie to try to keep running. Trying to be president is all he's got left now, and the GOP themselves don't appear to have the spine or ability to replace him from their ticket.

The GOP had plenty of chances to get rid of him during his term and especially right after Jan.6 (which was arguably their best chance), but they didn't do it. They didn't want to suffer the 1 or 2 years of pain it would have caused them to get back to their version of "normal" and now the price is that they can never force him out. Donnie must now choose to leave, or expire naturally without an obvious MAGA heir (VD Vance clearly isn't that).

While Donnie draws breath he is going to contunue this circus while what's left of the non-MAGA GOP find themselves sitting on their hands and counting the days until he's fecked out of this living world.

That is the maddest take I have seen yet.

Considering his age and dare I say it his diet, I can't imagine he has many years left in him. Why spend political capital trying to get rid of him, if he could well pop his clogs before the next election any way?

There's no need to cut the head off the snake, if the snake is already on life support.
