The Donald Trump Score Card

If Trump was presented with that data, he would say it's only in the minds of the beholder (like he did to Martha MacCarllum on Fox last week) and that he's doing much better with Black women no matter what the data show.

Why? Because he visited a Black church in Detroit and told the attendees that immigrants stole their jobs. He now has a mugshot just like he says the Blacks do and he says it looks better than Elvis or Frank Sinatra (notice Trump didn't mention Black rappers, only famous White guys).

Harris winning in six polls over four days.


Kamala Harris lands sixth polling win in four days

excerpt:

"Harris' biggest jumps were in Georgia and Nevada, where she is now leading the former president by 2 percentage points, per Fox News' poll. Back in April, Biden was losing Georgia by 6 points, and in June the president was behind by 5 points in Nevada.

Harris was also head by 1 point in Arizona, where Biden was behind by 5 points in June. Trump was leading the vice president by 1 point in North Carolina but was once beating Biden by 5 points, per a February poll from Fox."

 

Harris' RCP favorable rating is now near her unfavorable. The margin was a negative 18 points in early 2024.

Biden dropping out of the race made Harris' rating improve by about 16 points. It's unusual. It happened to G.W. Bush in the months that followed the 9/11 attack

Trump's attempt to delay hush money conviction sentencing hits a technical snag.


Trump's latest effort to delay hush money sentencing hits a snag

excerpt:

"According to the notice, the filing was sent back in part because the attorneys failed to include written permission from either the court or prosecutors."

 

Trump's on-stage stalking tactic was distracting to the audience. Trump used it when Hillary was making statements that tried to appeal to independent voters.

It's another reason to not allow Trump liberties at a debate. He needs to be forced to stay in his territory and have his mic muted when it's not his turn.

Trump wants big audiences stacked with his followers, freedom to roam the stage, a hot mics to talk over his opponent, and a friendly moderating group such as Fox that make the event a rally for him.

CNN gave him all of that at one of his 'town hall' events in May 2023 that was nothing but a rally for Trump.

CNN's slogan is 'The most trust name in news'.

excerpt:

“Predictably disastrous,” wrote former network TV news executive Mark Lukasiewicz, part of a chorus of media critics and political observers who bemoaned the on-air spectacle. “Live lying works. A friendly MAGA crowd consistently laughs, claps at Trump’s punchlines … and the moderator cannot begin to keep up with the AR-15 pace of lies.”

Why Harris polling boost could be a mirage.


Why Kamala Harris polling boost could be a mirage

 

A blitzkrieg of Trump lies.

 

Do we really need a scorecard? He’s Donnie Jingles. Scorecards are only big enough for the “regular”, corrupt politicians. Submitting the multiple scorecards needed for this guy would run into problems at the Bureau of Scorecard and Election Thinking, as the multiple scorecards needed would run into certification issues. There’s no mechanism for certifying multiple scorecards for a single candidate, and would likely run into a hard wall of being tossed out…akin to voting multiple times.

Sorry for the crappily written and conceived snark.

 

Trump failing to obtain permission is nothing new. He bulldozed his way into Arlington Cemetery with a camera that violated the strict rules about Section 60.

Trump has a more difficult time in court when he tries to violate procedures.

 

Trump changes stance on abortion again as he tries to appeal to women who are concerned about their loss of reproductive rights while he tries to reduce the backlash he has received from his anti-abortion supporters.

JFK Jr. says that he thinks Trump is now a changed person because he thinks Trump will be concerned about his legacy in a second term.

Trump didn't care about a respectable legacy while his insurrection was ensuing. To Trump, the insurrection was a respectable part of his legacy.

People try to predict Trump from within the context of what most in the rest of the world considerable respectable. It doesn't work.

Trump's psychologist niece thought he wouldn't run again in 2024 because he would be too humiliated from his loss. Over time, Trump made that loss a win with his psychological protection mechanism of believing the election was stolen from him.

Trump describes disturbance at rally as fun.


Man Storms Press Gallery After Trump Attacks Media During Pennsylvania Rally | Video

excerpt:

"Moments after Donald Trump bashed media outlets during a rally in Pennsylvania on Friday, a man in the audience stormed the nearby press gallery until being subdued by police.

Trump proceeded to joke about the incident after the man was carried off by law enforcement, telling the crowd, “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?”"

 

Trump still hasn't stated publicly what he was doing during the hours of his insurrection. During an interview, he said he would at an appropriate time.

The Democrats need to hit him relentlessly on this issue.

Special counsel probe uncovers new details about Trump's inaction on Jan. 6: Sources

excerpt:

"At least six of Trump's closest aides continued to push Trump to do something more forceful than posting what they saw as a weak message on Twitter, sources said.

Trump listened to the pleas, "but he was just not interested at that moment to put anything out," Scavino told Smith's team, according to the sources. Instead, Trump was focused on watching TV and taking in the chaotic scenes, Scavino said, the sources added.

Testifying before the House committee, an aide to Meadows similarly said she heard Meadows say of Trump that day, "He doesn't want to do anything.""
