2024 US Presidential Election
RE: 2024 US Presidential Election
A month ago, I wouldn’t have known Tim Walz if I tripped over him. Now, I’d like him to adopt me.

I am surprised the supposed assassination attempt on Trump hasn't been played up to the hilt. Something along the lines of god saved him for the presidency.

The subject is just too quiet.

I think they'll lean hard on it in the last days of the campaign. Not to swing any potential undecideds, but for a "gawd saved him for you, so get out and vote!" type push of the base that may be staying home from disillusionment.

He was shot* by a GOP voter, they -really- don't want to draw attention to that I don't think doing so hurts his base but it doesn't reach anyone else in a positive way.

I've read some apologia arguing exactly that: that after 2016 they saw their unfairness and have tried to change course. I'm not sure I buy it.

If they do make it a talking point, they’ll portray the shooter’s party affiliation as fake news, then spin the whole thing as a beautiful wound, the greatest wound in the history of our country, no one could even imagine a wound like this.

It's odd Trump hasn't been beating his chest over this. Maybe he's losing a step? 2016 Trump would make a piece of concrete remember this.

Along with golden tennis shoes and trading cards we can look forward to the release of Trump ear diapers.

The unforced errors keep piling up.

Trump Says Men 'Allow' Wives To Go About On Their Own

Quote:“They’re wealthy as hell. Look at them. They’ve got nothing but cash,” he added. “Their husbands are great. But they allow them to go all over the country."

The former president then recalled asking their husbands how they “put up” with their wives going on the road.

“How do you put up with this?” he said he remembered asking them at one point. “Your wives are traveling all over the place. Do you mind?”

“‘We trust our wives, sir,’” Trump recalled the men telling him. “We trust them implicitly.”
