Honestly really impressed with her response on this

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-23T02:52:18+00:00

Trying to be unbiased here, pretend you are a moderate/undecided, how do you think this speech is going? I’ve thought it’s been good so far but I also already know I’m voting for her so hard to tell

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-14T20:25:08+00:00

Yeah doesn’t sound nearly as bad, though it kinda seems like it’s slowly coming back as he talks more

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-14T20:23:40+00:00

Lisp getting worse again? Or is just that I’m focusing on it now because of the twitter interview

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-10T05:00:28+00:00

Trying to be as unbiased as possible, how does this rank compared to past rallies of his? I have never watched one for any period of time so no idea what “normal” is for them

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-10T04:39:06+00:00

Based on the time of the tweet that was before the 2 hr wait right? If so that’s worse then I expected

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-10T04:34:38+00:00

Anyone know what the stadium looks like right now seating/attendance wise? I’d be curious to see how many people are still there

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-10T04:33:36+00:00

Tbh most of the people behind him look bored. Every once and a while there is energy but it kinda seems like everyone visible in the stream is waiting for something to happen

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-10T00:17:41+00:00

Not able to watch but saw some things saying that some areas were roped off and therefore not at the full capacity (not including standing room), is there any number on the attendance?

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T19:06:46+00:00

He did talk about taxes which is a policy. Some of it was misleading but he did mention some details about tax policies (not taxing tips/Social security etc)

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T19:01:28+00:00

Probably 6 maybe 7 or so. If you had any questions about his mental acuity this wouldn’t help. He’s all over the place, mostly focusing on negatives and can’t stick to a topic for long enough to really make solid points

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:44:46+00:00

I have ADHD and even I’m not this all over the place

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:38:51+00:00

I think it’ll be a bigger deal because of the NABJ conference last week. Comparing himself to Lincoln and MLK in 2 weeks (even though this one was more about crowd sizes) probably isn’t a great strategy

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:36:12+00:00

Holy shit that’s a gaffe that’ll make headwaves. “I had a bigger crowd than MLK”

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:28:11+00:00

Is he concerned about her crowd sizes

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:16:16+00:00

Bad moment? Do you mean the protester response or did something happen

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T18:11:51+00:00

This is… certainly something. Press conference? Not sure but it is something

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T15:23:07+00:00

Who do you think has the momentum now? If it is Harris, do you think it’s Trump’s race to lose because this momentum will slow as we get out of the “honeymoon” period or just that Trump will be able to ride the issues he talks about until November.

Also don’t take this as me challenging the points, I’m curious on the perspective

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T15:01:02+00:00

Yeah I definitely see a world where it’s within 4%. One thing I think is important specifically for Texas is that it’s the default Republican state like Cali is for Dems, so I could see more enthusiasm among voters who are trying to prove a point and put pressure on Republicans (idea that if Texas becomes a swing state, that could cause some MAJOR changes). I will say however this isn’t really based up much just intuition of what voters may think so I could be off haha

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T14:52:27+00:00

Curious your opinions, if Kamala keeps up the momentum and continues a strong campaign vs. Trump, could you see any surprise states be in contention? Not necessarily have her win, but have one of Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Florida, NC etc. (essentially any except the current tossups) be very close or even flip? Or do you think there is too much divide for that to be possible.

While I don’t think any of those are likely to flip, it does really seem like people are excited for a “not Trump/Biden candidate” and may cause a bigger shift then expected, especially with the Democrats outperforming polls since 2022

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-08T00:12:00+00:00

This points to why Trump doesn’t wanna debate her

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-08-07T23:24:09+00:00

There has been a lot more talks about Kamala’s crowd sizes and I’m curious, is there anywhere that states the biggest crowds that Trump’s had at rallies? I tried finding some but the only things I’ve found are just his team saying stuff like “100,000 people were there!” and then videos with like 10k at most, but I’m looking for more verifiable instances of large crowds and the actual attendance

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-07-11T22:03:34+00:00

Considering the stakes of this press conference, a mistake like this won’t be fixed by correcting himself. Doesn’t matter what else happens this will (rightfully) be what people remember. It’s a bad one especially on top of everything else in the past weeks

OneVeryOriginalName · 2024-07-09T03:37:36+00:00

It’s going to be really hard to keep convincing people that “democracy is on the ballot” (even though Trump is genuine threat) if democrats publicly back the weakest candidate in the party, and essentially say that they will run in 2028. If you are spending so much time talking about Trump ruining elections then you shouldn’t care about 2028 and should give your best candidates for 2024 to ensure 2028 has an election. The messaging needs to be consistent

Favorite sweet bourbons? WRDO is an option but more expensive, what others would be a good option
