    Luntz said there was no good news for the former president in his newest round of focus groups, with many of the participants admitting they were excited to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and that they were appalled by Vance.

    “They are tired of Trump’s abuse and of Trump’s personality,”

      After a while, the hate, the fear, the racist remarks, it gets old. Just like him. OLD. It’s gone on for what 12 years? He hasn’t learned anything new because you can’t teach and OLD dog new tricks. People are tired of his bullshit and that’s what it is, bullshit. Even his dedicated cult has to realize he just spews lies. He never does what he says he’s going to do and now his rants are off the rails and that’s because…He’s old. Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is just old and tired. He should drop out and seek treatment.

        He wants to pardon himself. I’m amazed he didn’t before leaving office. But anyway Vance has no chance and Trump likely knows it. His best chance is himself.

      8 years I’ve been wondering when people are gonna finally get sick of this clown and it finally seems to be happening.

      This is a much needed course correction. I think we’ve now branched off of the Darkest Timeline and are doing our own thing now.

          And go out and vote as soon as you can. Make sure you know your registration deadline date and check specifically around that date to stop the Trump ratfucking attempts.

        Yeah this election is do or die for Trump and I’m sure he knows it. He’ll probably make good to flee to Russia if he loses and whatever coup attempt he makes doesn’t pan out.

          I wouldn’t bet on that if I were him. Putin is in a precarious position himself, and if he sees it beneficial to sacrifice trump saying “I caught the American pig!” As an out for his failed war, then trump is going to go in a really bad way. Trump would be best served by going to a fringe dictatorship like NK, SA or venezuela, maybe even Iran. But Russia is not a safe place for him or anybody.

            Iran wants revenge on Trump for assassinating their favorite general, right-hand man of their Supreme Leader. If he goes to Iran he’ll for sure be tortured and then executed.

            Also I wouldn’t suggest that Russia is safe for anybody. If anything I expect Trump to go there because they have the most kompromat on him, and they’ll extort him into coming so they can use him as leverage. At that point you may be right that Putin would hand him over to serve Putin’s own interest. But if Trump makes any other choice he’ll probably end up drinking some polonium coke.

              You’re right, I forgot that about Iran. Point is, he doesn’t have a lot of options. But Russia isn’t a great one for him, especially when putins war isn’t doing well.
