"Part way through Rogan’s interview with JD Vance. Typically for Rogan it’s a long one at three hours. But Vance is pretty eloquent and relatable. Very down to earth. I suspect this is where Trump and Vance have a big advantage over Harris/Walz. " Yes I heard he came across well. | |||

"All the democrats needed to do was put up any articulate, charismatic, 40-65 year old person, with a clean record and a nice smile. Instead they put up an already unpopular person, whose sole poll bump was from being "not senile", whose core argument is "I'm not Trump". So now it's a race. The Democratic Party and left wing media do all the heavy lifting for Trump. If they just ignored him entirely, gave no oxygen to his shenanigans and focused on the positives of Kamala's campaign (can anyone even name any?), then it would be a much easier fight for them." How come this tactic works for Trump and the right wing media, just constantly slagging off Kamala and Biden? | |||

Just look at the attacks Harris received for the tone of her laugh. | |||

"The Democrats have messed up their response to Trump right from the start. Instead of the Russia Collusion hoax, falsely framing him as a fascist, trying to put him in jail, and generally losing their minds because they lost in 2016, all of which has backfired on them massively, all they really needed to do was say “yeah Donald, he’s an American icon, great businessman and media star, we all love him, but you know what we just disagree on policy and here’s why”. "
Some amazing comedy in here "great businessman".

He can say something one day, and the exact opposite the day after, and no one will bat an eyelid. No one expects him to be consistent, or to make sense. On the other side, Kamala is still trying to fight like a politician, focusing on policies and moral character. If she just completely ignored Trump, smiled a lot, and kept asserting that America will be better when she's in charge, she'd be a lot higher in the polls. | |||

"All the democrats needed to do was put up any articulate, charismatic, 40-65 year old person, with a clean record and a nice smile. I think this is almost right but suspect we should add not female and not a POC." Obama won two elections easily as a black candidate. I'm sure a strong female candidate could also be successful. | |||

Harris is often an embarrassment in her public appearances - she was booed at her own rally this week! | |||

As to the media, Trump (specifically) is nothing without notoriety. It's the aggression that makes him notorious. | |||

Because when they got it wrong in the last 2 election cycles.. the polls that were considered “right leaning “ were the ones closest to the actual results… this time most polls actually reflect that Actually I am not worried for “big 10 country” Michigan or Wisconsin for Harris…it’s where Harris could snatch one of the others basically because of potential republican civil wars in Georgia and Arizona … and the shambles/scandals with the republican candidate for governor in North Carolina | |||

"I wonder what the voter turn out will be, if it matches or even tops the last one 8mil for Biden 74 mil for Trump Big numbers " I'm surprised more hasn't been said about 2020 having such high postal votes due to Covid, which definitely favoured Biden, and whether the reduction in postal votes (though higher than 2016) will affect the result ? Trump was very anti postal voting in 2020 but has embraced it more this time - could that make a difference,? | |||

On the other hand hasn’t Youngkin just won a case in the Supreme Court about voter registration in Virginia? Plus isn’t there something actually happening in Pennsylvania right now where three DA’s are investigating a company in Arizona that is submitting thousands of voter registrations the majority of which are fake? It seems unlikely in a vast country like the US that there is absolutely no voter fraud. I imagine there is in most countries. Aren’t the vast majority of Americans in favour of showing voter ID? It’s just the Democrats who don’t like it, pretty much the same as Labour in the UK. Odd that. The Republicans do seem to be being a little more proactive this time around. But no doubt both sides have got hordes of lawyers lined up for next week. | |||

Or your social security number maybe How expensive is it to get your driver's ID? | |||

Anyway.. the other reason is that minorities and the poorer folk are less likely to have the required ID …. " Just wanted to separate what I wrote originally from what you are about to argue and embarrass yourself with by only half hearing a case and running with it…. "On the other hand hasn’t Youngkin just won a case in the Supreme Court about voter registration in Virginia? " Not quite… Virginia wanted to scrub people off the voting list… federal law states that you can do this, but not within 90 days of a federal election… the Supreme Court allowed Virginia to do this only because Virginia has in place same day registration, so if the us citizens that were wrongly purged off the list.. (and CNN and local tv outlets have confirmed that there are a lot of these…) they can still go and vote! " Plus isn’t there something actually happening in Pennsylvania right now where three DA’s are investigating a company in Arizona that is submitting thousands of voter registrations the majority of which are fake? " No! This is a case of county election officials actually doing their job properly! Where batches of voters registrations come in… from groups on BOTH sides sign up people to help them with voter registration.. the county put them to one side and investigate and confirm.. for example using DMV information to cross check, electro or gas customers records ect…. " It seems unlikely in a vast country like the US that there is absolutely no voter fraud. I imagine there is in most countries. " I never said the answer was zero… but for example, again in Georgia they were mandated by the state legislature to do another voter registration check in time for this election… of the 6 million voters they checked… they tossed 9! …. 4 for double entry, 5 for people that had passed away and had not been taken off the record properly… " Aren’t the vast majority of Americans in favour of showing voter ID? It’s just the Democrats who don’t like it, pretty much the same as Labour in the UK. Odd that. " Not if it is specifically being done and aimed at marginalising certain groups of people to not have certain types of ID.. for example the poorest or minorities (states could not do what they do now until SCOTUS gutted the civil rights act taking out those protections… it was basically gerrymandering by the back door) " The Republicans do seem to be being a little more proactive this time around. But no doubt both sides have got hordes of lawyers lined up for next week. " They are trying to get as many votes tossed and making it harder for votes to get counted… For example going back to Pennsylvania.. the republicans want all mail in ballots tossed if the people have forgotten to sign them…. Then they wanted all mail in ballots tossed if they didn’t come back in the special envelope…. And yesterday scotus rejected another case where the Pennsylvania GOP wanted all mail in ballots to if they had a simple “date error” for example people put October or December instead of November… oh people looking forward put 25 on the ballot rather than 24 | |||

Which is why if you get huge bets on one side, it manipulates the market! Plus as you have been told before…. If people inside the us are legally not allowed to bet on federal elections, and the market you are looking at is strictly what people think outside the USA… do you not notice the disconnect? | |||

My point is that Biden thinks he's Irish, and so feels an enormous resentment against the British for things that he thinks they did to his people. Because of that he has said several times that he doesn't like the British, in interviews, and on camera.

"Obama claimed Irish ancestry too and visited Ireland during his election campaign. Most candidates do because a large % of Americans call themselves Irish, vote winner." Agreed, those candidates that aren't claiming to be Italian, all claim to have Irish ancestry. But Biden defines himself thorough his Irish roots, putting Irish heritage above all other things. Despite the fact that half of his ancestors were English (technically, so were the other half), and that he's a fourth generation American, he still insists that he's Irish first and foremost. | |||

"can you explain why you think biden and Obama hate the UK...? Don't know about Obama, but Biden thinks he's Irish, and has been oppressed by the British. Your queen hated trump... That may be so, but she never said so. Indeed she hosted him at the palace, and he left singing her praises. Some people are able to separate their personal feelings and their professional duties. ...by the same token...trump thinks he's Scottish..what's your point? My point is that Biden thinks he's Irish, and so feels an enormous resentment against the British for things that he thinks they did to his people. Because of that he has said several times that he doesn't like the British, in interviews, and on camera. Your original question was "can you explain why you think biden and Obama hate the UK", and I've explained why I think Biden hates the UK." ...you seem to be confusing him with Arlene foster...?...she said he hated the British...he never said it once... So going by your logic..trump claims Scottish roots...does that mean he hates Britain as well?...you're not making much sense tbh | |||

"Part way through Rogan’s interview with JD Vance. Typically for Rogan it’s a long one at three hours. But Vance is pretty eloquent and relatable. Very down to earth. I suspect this is where Trump and Vance have a big advantage over Harris/Walz. " rogan puts a fly in the ointment after giving trump a free pass, by destroying vance on his podcast interview .... .... s'pose that won't make a difference to the militants on either persuasion though. interesting about the poll in Iowa, especially considering that Selzer is by far and away the most respected pollster in the state and has an absolutely stellar record .... it appears to show a monumental surge of women driving the result statewide .... perhaps being replicated nationwide on tuesday. | |||

" But I personally don't think any of them hate Britain. " neither do I. but i do think that the americans know the uk is a small market and perhaps there are larger markets to win first. plus they are historically more invested in south east asia and europe since 1945 and are still making huge returns for their post war funding. where as they have merely exploited a weak UK for the last 80 years, so they have zip desire to alter the status quo. | |||

Add to that,Trump is now saying he's going to "protect " women whether they like it or not,and tucker saying that he wants to "vigorously spank" 15 yr old girls while the call him daddy...hahaha...its not really a great closing message for Trump...weird people | |||

Some American corporations donated to various Brexit campaigns in the hopes we would remove food safety standards, environmental standards etc that the EU has that stops some trade. But seeing as that's not happening fast enough, the US won't bother prioritising a relatively small market like the UK. | |||

That’s a huge reach!!! roe vs wade was overturned in effect because of the 3 Supreme Court justices trump chose! Basically it was assumed the norm was that roe vs wade would basically apply federally… what the 3 justices did in the dobbs case is that roe vs wade only applied to roe vs wade and because abortion wasn’t an original constitutional issue.. it would be decided by each state So trump thought in his political objectives and best interests was to take a victory lap saying he was the one to get rid of it.. even though 70/30 of people were for keeping roe vs wade in place So republicans and Trump have been taking the consequences of it ever since What Harris could do if democrats win the house (probably) and retain the senate ( which is more challenging) if they could basically codify the working of roe vs wade into federal law | |||
