He has already confirmed he changed his speech so we'll hope and see. As someone who has had a real NDE I can attest to what it does to you on many levels

My own personal theory has always been that Trump is actually more to the side of compromise than he lets on. Unfortunately in his 2016 election one reason he won was the people he brought out to vote. I don’t need to say who they are but I’ll describe them as unable to compromise. Some due to the melding of their religion with politics, some out of despair and so on. He had to cater to them.
Now Biden is ancient and unpopular. Might we see a different trump? I hope so for all of our sake.
Have you heard he literally tore his speech up and wrote another one? I hear it's more towards unity. Things just feel different don't they?
Maybe I’m not far left enough but I can’t convince myself he actually believes that. To borrow the phrase I think he’s flying too close to the sun with the far right and has a history of listening to the wrong people. A tyrant though? Ehhhhh.

That's what's wrong with campaign financing. Regular folks can only give up to $3300 or something close and somehow someone like Musk or any other rich folks can skirt the law and give a ridiculous sum. Think of the good that sort of money could be used for and instead gets wasted on this which is nothing but attempting to get favors.
I would strongly consider voting for the devil in a suit if he would bring about campaign finance reform, mandatory retirement age for all government officials including judges, and limiting campaigns to 180 days before Election Day. None of those are on the surface unconstitutional.
I think instead of all the big money going to the left, some is just going to the right now. Yeah, it's all a crazy system. When people are able to communicate and have conversation, we all have a lot we can agree on. Most that is. We are just the pawns.

I disagree Trump absolutely wants to be president and have the executive branch above all others. This is why he has a hard on for guys like Orban and Putin they have what he wants. I do agree that Trump does not care who he has to appeal to to get that power, but the reality of our political landscape is that the rabid blind cult like support he needs is ready made with the far right evangelical Christian nationalist who are ready made to accept the kind of authoritarian leadership Trump wants to have.
Trump is ahead nationally more than he's ever been ahead since all this started in 2016 . It's a different ball game today. All the fear-based fear-mongering apparently is ineffective in shows that it's just shallow talking points to begin with. Trump has never been ahead in any polling since 2016 until the last couple months.

People thought he was joking when he said 3 terms.....his actions say differently. From his support of project 2025, which he has tried to walk back now the cats out of the bag, to picking vance and the support he had for the group mentioned probably wasn't an oversight but a plus for trunp.......along with vance saying he won't certify an election if he was VP
Project 2025 is just another boogeyman to scare the electorate used by scared Democrats with nothing else to go off of. Everything else they've done has failed and it'sbgoing to continue. It all started with the Russia propaganda and it has not ended You would think that these Democrats would see the light but apparently they don't know how.

Trump is gonna start world war 3 just you watch! This time it's for real but only after he gets out of prison of course
I still believe picking Vance is an opening for the Democrats. The white suburban women in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin will be a huge factor. Trump cannot run away from his age issue either.
Democrats need turnout to succeed in the election and further down ballot races. He gives them another boogeyman.
I still haven't heard anything that talks about why vance repels women? It really doesn't matter if Trump is old or not now he has a 39-year-old VP. Talk about old man party, It's definitely not the Republicans right now. Besides Vance being so pro-life it really doesn't matter. Ohio elected vance as their senator, but I believe it was just last year voted to have pro-abortion laws enacted. Apparently the pro-abortion crowd didn't care and voted for Vance anyway.
To be fair Russian interference in the 2016 election is very well understood now. When I talk about working from the same set of facts this is a good example. We were unprepared for the extent of their activities. We know now Obama sent CIA Director Brennan to Moscow in 2015 to deliver the message in person to knock it off.
Trump has too many criticisms to name but I do agree some of them have gone overboard. Should the worst come to fruition I have faith in our institutions to ensure a transfer of power which could be seen as naivety but I believe in the additional guardrails enacted since 2021.

This is interesting when you consider that US Intelligence already knew this before Saturday's assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Where was the extra security that one would believe that should be in place if this threat was already out there?

I'm talking about the Muller investigation and there's been so many things I cant remember anymore what they all were. Nothing has ever come to fruition. A waste of taxpayers money and peoples sanity.
He’s on record for no exceptions abortion ban and has made very disparaging remarks about women and domestic violence. Both poll very poorly even among republicans.

End of the day, that checkbook that gets pulled out countless times to pay the bills will weigh heavier than anything else. And Im not talking about the wall street folks, its the main street ones. Espeacilly those that reside in Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania. Thats where the rubber meets the road. Joe has to sweep all 3 to have a shot, or he's toast. Hence the VP pick of a poor as dirt ex Marine who can speaK the language to the folks of Wisc,Mich,PA.

Hearing a report that an out of town police officer shot and killed someone outside the safe zone at the RNC. No more details yet. Geez
Update: Happened a mile away. Robbery gone wrong. SS said it had nothing to do with RNC.
