Biden's numbers cratered because the media was told to crater them. If they held the line like they do with Kamala, it would have just been a mediocre debate performance. It was their out to switch the candidate while saving face. Biden performed just as well as anyone observant of him would have expected him to and the media would have had just as easy a time to sweep it up for him as they always have had. But this time, they were told to spike it for him.
Every Democrat I know was saying it was a disaster before it was even over. I mean, within 15 minutes of the start.
 
I think that the VP debate (you know ... The same debate that lefties are still convinced "doesn't matter"?) was the beginning of Trump's numbers really going up.

Vance destroying Walz is what finally pushed Kamala to do her media blitz, which has been a stunning failure.
That’s because it wasn’t really a VP debate, it was basically Vance’s audition to be Donald Trump’s successor with Trump’s supporters as the judges. The Trump joy would not be nearly at the level we’re seeing if Vance wasn’t there as a solid backup.
 
because of money, biden raised 100 of millions and the rules would require him to refund what ever was left to the donors, so harris had to stay in.
I didn't even think of that when I was scratching my head over what the hell they were doing. I feel like there's a lot of people acting independently on these kinds of decisions and not a single one of them has the full picture put together. I guess some of them can steal a bunch of campaign dollars as a consolation prize.
 
Btw, the folks at Know Your Meme are incensed over Trump's McDonalds publicity stunt.
Anything to say to retort?
I have to remind myself I hate liberal progressive millenials with a fucking passion were all the most insufferable and annoying faggots online.
I have split feelings on Ken Paxton on one hand I know he is a RINO and does some stupid things. On the other hand it's good to know that he's uncovering what's going on with act blue.
I have to say I hope he breaks this case wide open because it feels like act blue being crushed would destroy the dems.

Ill admit I'm more excited for Vance at this point. He's young and doesn't have much baggage. He's like a factory fresh Ford GT. I want to see what he can do in the next four years. I hope Trump puts him out there and actually does things with him.
 
As we approach November 5th things will get more and more desperate as the denial on the Kamala side is extremely strong. Plenty of anti-Trump sentiment around, sure, but there is a massive overestimation of how much that would do faced with the idea of Kackling Kamala as president after he insanely forced campaign.

Here is a example of something which will likely be showing up a LOT in the next few days: a (C*nadian ew) "conservative" explaining why you should vote Kamala:

Not for nothing but the gall of these people astounds me. “Country over Party,” says the people who destroyed the country for said party (it’s beside the point that this man in particular is Canadian.) “Trump is all about his own power and glory,” even though he lost money in office, lost many of his connections, and lost his former life as a big shot real estate mogul. The guy nearly lost his fucking life twice. If he was in it for himself he would’ve left a long time ago. Someone call IMAX because these people are projecting big time.
 
To the euroswine. Trump isn't perfect. He is the best guy we've had in decades, and to be perfectly frank, the most American. He's rich, larger than life, eats big macs, calls fat women ugly- that is America Fuck Yeah if i've ever seen it. Its not european, no. It's not supposed to be, its not globohomo, Trump is simply Trump. And I wouldn't have it any other way

He is also really fucking funny.

I live in a European country and people here don't get why i find Trump so interesting. He is the living embodiment of the USA. A big, brash bullshitter who doesn't seem to give a fuck about who he offends. Our politics is slightly different shades of socialism.

The leftists in the States don't realise that they are the outliers. Step outside the coastal cities and support for Biden/Obama/Kamala just ceases to exist and people love the pussy-grabbing Maccy D enthusiast because that's how they'd act in his position. I genuinely think Trump took Kamala claiming she worked in Mc Donalds personally because it is common knowledge he loves a Big Mac so he had to embarrass her with that photo op.
 
I wonder how much Dems are regretting that last minute switch to Kamala? Yeah, she’s younger than Biden, but that’s about the only upside. She has no charisma, can’t speak without a teleprompter/lots of notes, and isn’t upfront about any real policy, so even other Dems are unsure of what she actually supports. I’m thinking that if they stuck it through with Biden, they would be in a better spot right now.
This "our candidate is shit, we'd be better with the other one" lead to Kamala. I'd bet that people would be claiming they should've ran her instead of Biden had stayed.
It's just that Dems get shittier the more you look at them
 
but i like things that are funny

A person's sense of humor is a qualitative indicator that carries a lot of weight for me. I just think that Trump has one and Kamala doesn't. That mean that Kamala no funny because she woman, and that Trump who be man make me belly go "ho-ho-ho!" so me vote for him and no vote Kamala, stalker child.
Trump being funny is great and all, but you shouldn't vote for a president if you admittedly know nothing about them. Nor can I imagine wanting to vote if you know nothing about them, if you actually want to vote you should be more informed what you are voting for.
 
lol Obama on the campaign trail:

"Trump inherited an economy that he took credit for. I DID THAT. And he's going to claim it again if he wins."

Anybody 'member when Barry said in 2016 that the economy was shit and that Trump would literally need a magic wand to save it and that he's promising too much?

I 'member!

Well on the McDonalds thing, its offensive to a lot of people over here. That is many people's first jobs they pick up as a teenager. To claim you did it and then just lie- its madness. Why would you lie about it? Yeah Trump was going to make a spectacle out of it, because A: it appeals to people, and B: yeah he does eat big macs lol. He is american as it comes in that respect. And virtually all others. It rubs a lot of people the wrong way because, yes, hes rude, mean, offends people, but that is most of America. Trump just has the biggest microphone. You don't hear about Todd or Joe being a dick to people because they're normies. But they're just like trump in that sense.
 
KiwiFrens, do I really want to start working on a Mark Hamil thread? Or is it a waste?
Look a mark hamil thread is well over due to be quite honest.
Oh no, poor guy. We don't want you to go to jail. Face the wall, maybe..

You're going to try and jail your critics again if yall win won't you.
Mark has had a pretty long and successful career as a voice actor, so he wasn't a total has been in entertainment. But instead of embracing voice acting like Keth David, it feels like Mark has a bitterness that he didn't get to stay in traditional movies like Harrison Ford.
The thing is kieth David has a large filmography too while he wasn't an Oscar winner kieth David has done plenty of action, b films, and even good films like where the heart is.

Trump has good vibes. Harris has screeching schoolmarm vibes. Sometimes, the choice is intuitive.
