Trump is spending campaign time in NY as his numbers drop in some of the critical battleground states. It like he's retreating to his birth state of NY to seek refuge.
Trump thinking that he's going to change the minds of Democrats in NY isn't going to help his campaign in the swing states. Trump is going back to a few months ago when some surveys showed him trailing significantly but gaining some ground on Biden in NY. He's squandering time NY now that Harris is his competitor. Trump was boasting that he was going to add states like NY and MN to his list to campaign against Biden. Today, he needs to be concerned about states like NC and GA where he could lose where most Republican presidential candidates have won in recent decades.
It would lend itself well to another Trump digital trading card. Trump in a Superman outfit vanquishing the pet-devouring Haitians. He may have done such cards already.
Fascism expert sounds alarm on Trump’s latest claim: 'I will free you from all decision making' excerpt: "I'm so glad that you are phrasing it that way. It sends a chill down my spine when Donald Trump says women won't have to think about abortion anymore because he also said something similar about voting when he talked to a group of evangelicals," Ben-Ghiat replied. "He said after this election, you will not have to vote anymore as if it is a kind of burden. And so this is fascist talk, where the leader says, 'I will free you from all decision making. Just trust in me and you will not have to worry about any problems anymore.'"
Gretchen Whitmer: Donald Trump 'deranged’ for comments on women, abortion excerpt: He argued that if he’s elected, those feelings will be fixed, and “YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES.”
Trump says if he wins, women would 'no longer be thinking about abortion' excerpt: “I will protect women at a level never seen before. They will finally be healthy, hopeful, safe and secure,” Trump said. “Their lives will be happy, beautiful, and their lives will be great again. So women, we love you. We’re going to take care of you.”
The GOP in the Trump era is nearly unrecognizable. It went downhill in the 90's with people like Limbaugh and Gingrich. Palin in the 2000's was a forerunner to the celebrity-style, shallow goofiness of Trump. Trump is the ultimate.
Those swing states he’s least worried about only lets me know that he’s got another scheme going on. More voter suppression tactics like in 2020, with the help of his minions.
Trump says he won't run in 2028 if he loses in 2024. Trump says he won’t run for president again in 2028 if he loses in November
Ted Cruz gets another worrying sign in Texas race against Colin Allred excerpt: "A new poll shows the race in Texas between Democrat Colin Allfred and Republican Ted Cruz for Cruz's U.S. Senate seat continues to be tight. The survey of 800 voters released Friday by Texas Public Opinion Research showed the Texas congressman trailing Cruz by 4 points (47 percent to 43 percent), but with a margin of error of 3.5 percent, the two could very well be tied."
Texas is gradually migrating back toward the swing state it was before the 1980's. The GOP is expected to become increasingly frantic as it approaches that reality.
Harris shows some gains and economic views brighten a bit — CBS News poll excerpt: "But with interest rates and gas prices coming down, the number of voters saying the economy is good has ticked up. That, along with a debate voters say was net positive for her, has helped Harris a bit. The vice president has now moved to the slightest of edges across the battleground states (it was 50-50 last month), and she is now up 4 points nationally over Donald Trump."
