      He might just be running out of juice. Win or lose, Trump used to love those rallies. He was doing rallies even after the campaign ended because he just ate up all that attention and acclaim. If he’s not doing them anymore, its not because he’s got some insidious backup plan. It’s because he doesn’t feel like they’re fun anymore.

      False flag! 8D Cheese Chess! Yadda yadda yadda!

      The truth of the matter can be much simpler - the peak of the wave has passed, third campaign of the same shit have many republican-leaning voters fatigued and numb.

      Do NOT get me wrong here. It’s still a clear and present danger, both internal and foreign powers who wish governmental chaos/weakness upon the United States are pumping resources into the campaign, every truly patriotic and intelligent American still has GO AND VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER.

        Oh, I don’t think anyone has forgotten that TRUMP IS WEIRD. To me, it seems quite obvious that TRUMP IS WEIRD. I think anyone would agree if you told them that TRUMP IS WEIRD. It would probably break his little ego to see millions of people online typing in all caps that TRUMP IS WEIRD repeatedly.

          Weird is an understatement. Isn’t it fair to say at this point that he’s probably a child molester? I mean, there were tons of photos with him and epstein, he wanted to release all the secret government documents except for the epstein files, there’s tons of photos with and p diddy and he’s made really weird comments about his daughter. Seems like he’s an official guest of the diddy party.

    Aren’t the cities making Trump pay up front for rallies now after what happened last time?

      I know a few arenas have demanded large deposits. No idea if that’s normal behavior for said arenas.

      I’m sure there’s a certain amount of dark money donating, wherein Trump gets to host a rally at a site owned by a political ally and put it on a tab he never intends to pay back. The ally gets to write the expense off as a loss and claim a tax credit. And everyone gets what they want.

      But staff stiffing venues and vendors for the bills is also common enough in professional politics that they’re already known as bad business partners. Bigger outfits know to demand cash upfront regardless of who they’re working with.

    Where are the 2020 bars?

    (Yeah I know it was Covid and thus not comparable; I want to see anyway. Put an asterisk next to it if it makes you feel better.)

    He’s saving his energy for what he expects will be a win, he’s got a lot of powerful supporters and they’ll be using every trick in the book in the coming weeks. I’m to the point where any good news about Harris or mockery of Trump is infuriating as it puts Harris voters in a more confident position and will lead to lower turnout as they think she’s got a better than 50-50 chance, at best. Her campaign and her supporters need to be pulling out all the stops and pushing as hard as possible to the finish line rather than basking in their illusory lead.

      Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?

      No?

      WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.

        Do you have any evidence at all that it could be a landslide? Your point of view suppresses the Harris vote, people stayed home in the 2016 election sure that Hilary was a surefire winner and then turned around and called her unpopular and unelectable. I can only assume you are intentionally sabotaging Harris’ chances with your feel-good highfiving.

        Harris has refused so far to support more popular Bernie-style politics and acts all smug about how well she did in that debate, and Democrats cluck their tounges at all the scandals and untruths that Republicans are going through - Republicans don’t care, think its funny and will stand by Trump to the ballot box and likely beyond.

        The election, if we’re lucky, will be won by Harris if you excuse the expression, by a cunt hair considering how election deniers have been packing the voting officer volunteer rolls and if you aren’t filled with cold dread at Kamala being literally left off the ballot in Montana and Georgia requiring hand counting of all the ballots before the day after the election, I don’t know what to tell you.

        Don’t fall prey to the wine-drunk good vibes of gala event liberals who believe they won’t really suffer much if Trump wins, and would rather have the short term reassuance now that we’re fine and nothing more needs to be done than put more effort into actually making that landslide happen. All of America is in deep water without a life jacket here.

        I play a game, before I open the comment section on any good news piece on the Harris campaign I try to guess how many “doesn’t matter, vote” comments there will be. Usually about half.
