I hate that this is the debate we’re having now

I also hate that I’m feeding into the NYT’s lazy and transparent attempt to undo their previous partisanship with new opposite partisanship like those two things cancel out and add up to journalism

But what the hell, if that’s where we’re at, this is a relevant data point about the landscape

      Jesus fucking Christ…what does it take to prove to Democrats that they are going to fucking lose?

      He’s up 8 points before the shooting. That pic of him bloody and pumping his fist is all over EVERYTHING right now.

      This election was over in the first 10 minutes of the debate. This is absolute victory at this point, and I think we lose Congress too, in a bad way.

      If you’re not freaking out…I don’t know man…I just don’t know.

        I’m not freaking out. Let’s figure out what we need to do. It’d be more of a problem if it were a week ahead of the elections.

        If we gotta get violent to protect the ones we love, so be it. Till that time, keep it cool and think.

        Good to know you’re easily emotionally manipulated. Just have a listen to the MSM and bam it’s over for you. I honestly don’t know why everyone is saying that this incident means Trump is going to win. He’s a racist, extremist, criminal, dictator wanna be which is exactly why this happened. And it doesn’t change who he is or his plans to tear America to the bones and remake it so he can exploit it for himself.

        Americans have the memory of a goldfish, by Nov this will be forgotten, but Trump will continue to be Trump and his ties to Project 2025 and his Agenda 47 and how he wants to use the presidency for revenge and personal gain will continue to be put in the spotlight. As long as the media stops sucking his dick that is.

          The election is over. Period…he’s up 8 points, and I’m betting by Monday 12 points.

          You understand his base is voting FOR project 2025 and Agenda 47. That’s what they want.

            I’m betting by Monday 12 points.

            Will you bet with me? We can use fivethirtyeight.com as the agreed source; just whatever national poll gets posted there first, starting as of Monday morning. I’ll bet any amount up to $200.

            You’re one of two things, a Russian/CCP/NK/etc troll pushing for people to give up on voting, or a media manipulated hysterical doom poster. Both of which are helpful to Trump.
