USA 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris

[Gethelred]

Okay, we've had a good run. Some have had a good laugh and others have melted a little, but from this point we're improving the standard of discussion.

The rules for the SRP are thus:

Satan - is this true?

 

[Gralin]

Bill Clinton’s two term presidency ended more than 23 years ago and yet he is, even now, younger than both Trump and Biden.

That says all you need to know about the rut American politics is in.

We're slowly heading that way

We've moved from 40s to 50s to approaching 60s

There's a slow ageing happening here, clearly not where America is at but the trend is upwards

Satan - is this true?

What? You mean this guy?

 

[Present Not Past]

A born again Trump is going to be hard for any Democrat candidate to beat.

Donald Trump is a born again nothing.
In fact, he represents nothing.
He has prostrated himself in the hope that someone inserts themselves into his Presidential campaign.

Not surprising at all.
I'm actually on the road in the States this month. I clicked through the channels this week, caught a snippet of the convention and get going. What I saw was 1) Cruz saying "literally an invasion", and someone else "importing illegal voters".
FFS This kind of shit is their policy platform.

1776 and the re-writing of the Constitution.
When questioned about it, well it's all about entertainment.
Until it all becomes real.

I don't really think there is a trend yet. It seems low 50s give or take ~5 years has been the trend for a long time. you could say that our two oldest PMs came out of the last 3, but its not really by much or trend worthy.

Whitlam - 56
Fraiser - 45
Hawke - 53
Keating - 47
Howard - 56
Rudd - 50
Gillard - 48
Abbott - 55
Turnbull - 60
Morrison - 50
Albanese - 59

(Dutton could be 54)

Lmfaooo

Bigfooty's preferred president ladies and gentleman:

What does that say about the opposition then?

 

[10571z]

Sleepy Joe is far to out of it to realise he needs to pull out.

I can’t see a path to victory for Joe. Great viewing

Bush-Jnr-55
Obama-48

Biden-77

(If Trump wins again he'll be 78)

I’m not endorsing the editorialising here (QAnon conspiracy theories, while apparently not as widely held, are wild), but this is a ridiculous number.

It’s certainly not worse than qanon, but it’s pretty bad and dumb.

I do expect that number to drop significantly more, considering that we are still less than a week from it happening.

I still think he’s gone. Everyone will support him 100% until they don’t.

The ole "He 100% has our full support, right up until the day we sack him"

The ole "He 100% has our full support, right up until the day we sack him"

Correct.
It gives punters a chance to say "see I was right".
It also gives them the opportunity to predict thier new leader.
And then the eventual " now we have the right leader to challenge ".

It's an advertisers trick used every day.
Americans in general are dumb enough to get caught up in it without realising the dems have planned this out for strategic reasons.

Donny had already figured it out a week ago.

The democratic advertising manager smiles as tactics working a treat.
They've even bought the story in Australia.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Excellent and clear breakdown for those that still don't know exactly what happened.

 

[Spearman]

Can you also ask him about burst eardrums from the sonic noise

Hey Crow, I asked and he replied he has not seen, read or heard of anything like that related to a bullet. And it usually occurs from explosions or detonations.
I don't think there is much concussive effect from a bullet shock wave, and unless the weapon discharges near the ear the sound itself isn't loud enough. Again I don't know myself, being one of few Americans who has never owned a gun or fired one over 22 cal.

Well he will be “resigning” in this case.

Thank you

The movies are wrong - but it could be the closeness as you say

 

[FireKrakouer]

Genuine question, what difference does it make whether his ear was grazed by a bullet or by teleprompter shrapnel? He was either a few centimetres or a few meters off death by a would-be assassin shooting at him, I don't understand what it changes?

Bookies having fun. They know Biden is gone, but it's still not decided on whether Harris is the replacement.
