Kamala Trump said:
he wasn't Joe Biden.

and he wasn't Hillary.

why are old neocons like cheny opposed to trump?

because he 's not a globalist. pure and simple.

you're such a globalist you can't even be honest about why trump is dominating.

The problem is the Democrats keep running Leftists. Biden used to not be Leftist, but I think his time with Obama in the White House moved him that direction and he was too stupid to notice. The Hildabeast has always been one.

Yea, I get that the old school, insider, Republicans hate Trump too because he threatens the standing order in Dirty City.

Trump is dominating because he's a populist. As far as I can tell, he's got no real vested interest in the system and no interest in being a part of it. That's what makes him popular.

An interesting article that explores the mystery of Trump's appeal to half of American voters.

Half the country will vote for Trump. What is his appeal?

For me, Donald Trump is like pornography — he has no socially redeeming value.

He’s a narcissistic, misogynist, bigoted, autocratic bully who is a congenital liar and dangerously detached from reality.

Yet almost half the country appears poised to vote for him.

Democrats certainly needn’t like Trump, but we damn well better understand why so many people do and not simply brand his supporters as “deplorables” like their candidate....

...Denouncing Democrats as the party of Big Government has been standard Republican fare for decades. Today, slightly over half the country expresses an aversion to a government they consider too big, and almost all of them support Trump. The large minority who look favorably on a more active government reside overwhelmingly in the Kamala Harris camp.

Aversion to change emerges from classic conservatism’s respect for tradition. As Edmund Burke wrote: “When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.”...

...Moreover, voters seem to recall a successful pre-COVID economy under Trump. Almost two-thirds tell pollsters the Trump economy was good. As President Obama reminds us, it was his economy, not Trump’s. But Trump benefits from having been seated in the Oval at the time.

Trump’s appeal was sealed by his authenticity — never a word I would associate with the former president.

But by giving voice to the concerns of his constituents, saying aloud what they said only in private and by being willing to suffer the opprobrium of the establishment for doing so, Trump proved to his followers that he really meant it — that he was authentic.

Despite the appeals, Trump’s weaknesses are legion, and he can be defeated. But no one should underestimate the challenge or the wellsprings of his support.

Trump 46.1% Clinton 48.2%

Biden 51.3% Trump 46.8%

Yes, he does. That's indicative of a deluded mind. Knuckle-dragger is a good label for him.

Have you written your Congressmen or Senator and asked if they have looked into gouging by big Corps?
Doesn't it seem a little fishy to you that during and after COVID prices went up and everybody is trying to Blame Biden for inflation and not looking at the RECORD profits YEAR AFTER YEAR these large corps have been having?
gas prices were up and Exxon made another Record profit over the one they had last year.
Again ask your Senators and Congressmen to look these record profits and see if they are gouging or not.
I have and was told they will be I hope they do it soon.

Little lizard,

I knew what energy prices were under Trump. My gasoline, my electricity, and my natural gas, Thankfully the dems have not blocked the sale of natural gas products....Oh wait.
These same cost increases affect farmers, shippers of all kinds, grocery stores, and everything else that requires the aforementioned energy products to produce, store, distribute, and sell their wares.

Your stupid tripe about corporations trying to stop people from using their products so they can make more money? This is why you will always remain a little lizard.

Now, you can stomp around on your little green feet and deflect the blame wherever you want but if you learn anything, learn this,
Plentiful, low cost energy from a variety of sources will negate inflation.
Decisions like closing coal, nuclear, and natural gas plants followed by shit like this, are what drive up prices.

You do understand there was an oil price war between the Saudis and the Russians driving the cost of oil down Trump had NOTHING to do with the gas prices back then.

Old Republican lies, tropes, and mantras that are just not true. The truth is EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS HIGHER UNDER A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION and the economy is always better under Democratic administrations. Trump was just lucky that OBAMA handed him over a great economy that lasted until Trump played down the dangers of the virus in his last year, millions more got sick as a result, and COMMERCE and LOGISTICS all but shutdown as a result, and the entire economy shutdown under his watch. Biden had to come into office with an economy that was shutdown, and had to rebuild the entire economy, from the ground up, and get students back into schools, people back to work, and reopen business and get commerce flowing again across America. And America is leading the world on the post WORLD PANDEMIC ECONOMIC recovery since Biden has been in the White House.

The inflation is high because of the MEAT INDUSTRY MONOPOLY playing politics, and the OIL INDUSTRY, mostly because of their lack of getting Diesel fuel back up to acceptable production standards, are also playing politics, and neither industry has cooperated with the Biden Admin in the econonic recovery.

Meanwhile The REPUBLICAN OWNED Meat MONOPOLY and the REPUBLICAN OWNED OIL COMPANIES ARE MAKING HISTORIC RECORD BREAKING PROFITS on the backs of the AMERICAN CONSUMERS and the HARDEST WORKING TAX PAYERS.

I can't find too much on the meat industries profits after 2022 , but in the years right after COVID their profits were up 300%.
As for the oil industry it was something like 142% over last year and last year was a record year for Exxon and some others.
And the left keeps blaming Biden and inflation and we should be having Congress look into gouging.
with Covid and the supply chain crashing under Trump they had an excuse to raise prices and after they did they kept them high blaming Biden and inflation.
I have called and written my Congressmen and Senators and have asked them to look into this, I Think everybody should .
IMO we are getting ripped off , I am not against a company making a decent profit but record profits year after year and blaming inflation is just BS.

IMHO everyone voting for tRump is a closet submissive. They want to be dominated. They need someone to tell them what to do and when to do it. They are lost without a director of some sort. Fox and Breitbart and such have figured it out. You notice they don't provide information, they dispense directions. They tell the tRumplings what their opinions are. It's why the Evangelicals are a natural fit. No self will at all.

What exactly is Trump going to direct me to do, how is he going to "dominate" me? What information has not been provided to me? What plans does comrade kamala have that she's got under wraps? You clowns are the ones who are going to have no choice but to blindly follow her directives and dictates if she steals this election. BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO!!

WE know what Trump wants to do. We've known since 2015. And I'll bet every Trump supporter can find something in his playbook that he doesn't like. You're not gonna have that luxury with chairman kam zedong.

Which is surely what is here....the chances that the revolution proclaims Trump the winner are zero.....you can bet your house on this (Tucker).

It depends upon the strings. Obviously strings are always attached when taxpayer money is involved. Strings are attached to National Guard funding, interstate funding, business tax breaks, etc. Requiring the money be spent on text books or air conditioned classrooms instead of football uniforms is not an onerous requirement.

The MAGAts want to get rid of the Department of Education and, like you, see it as a federal intrusion instead of a central point of coordination. States band together to buy textbooks since it's cheaper to buy en masse rather than have each state write and publish their own. They're not forced to buy a certain textbook but willfully do so to reduce costs.

A few years ago Texas caused a stir because, as one of the largest states and biggest buyers of textbooks, sought to limit mentions of the Holocaust, racial and LGBTQ issues.

IMO, having national standards is a good thing. If a state chooses not to comply, then no additional funding. Easy peasy.

A school district superintendent in North Texas apologized Thursday night after one of the district’s administrators told teachers that if they have books about the Holocaust in their classroom libraries, then they should also include books that have “opposing” views of the Holocaust.

At a training session last week, a school administrator with Carroll ISD in Southlake, Texas, tried to advise elementary school teachers on how to follow new district guidelines for the vetting of books. The guidelines were issued in an attempt to align with a controversial law in Texas that seeks to restrict discussion of race and history in schools.

you love the swamp, and the indoctrination, and crititical race theory and the democratic machine.

eliminating the department of education will set free the american mind and soul once again.

YOu people are garbage and this is why you're losing.


"oh it can be kept clean" --- fuck off this is so stupid and you sound so retarded.

is this libertarian, staunchly supporting the crony statist indoctrination and destructive totalitarianism of the deparment of education?
