  2. Trump is running out of money to campaign because most of his donations are going to his legal fees. He now has to attend every day of the criminal court case in NY. Definitely don’t want to get complacent but its looking pretty bad for his chances in November.

  3. We need to vote maga out of existence up and down the ticket. Vote Blue💙

  4. Reminds me of Monty Python’s Holy Grail black knight scene.

  5. If he looses in November and the subsequent insurrection fails, will Republican legislators stop obeying him? Will they latch on to someone _even worse_?

  6. google your county’s voter registration site, make sure your information is current.

    closer to the election, find out when (if) early voting starts.

    vote as soon as possible to clear the lines for the other voters that might be turned off by a long line on election day

  7. There’s nothing Republicans hate more than a loser.

  9. He’s the lowest form of human. The weakest. The most hateful. The most callous. The most racist. Most fake. Most treasonous person in US history.

    Donald has no political compass. No moral compass. He is the poorest billionaire there ever was.

    His wife is a fake. His hair is fake. His intestines are dead because he was a coke head for decades. His house is an overvalued dump that should not impress anyone.

    But yeah. Now is the time to fellate the evangelicals for cash because he’s so fucking religious.

    If ever there was a man more eligible for a solitary cell at Florence ADX for the remainder of his days, it is Donald J. Trump.

    Go vote. Vote blue. Please.

  10. But wait, there’s more! What the article left out was, DJT’s GoFundMe page has only raised $2,024,405 out of the $355,000,000 goal.

  11. Don’t be complacent, he still has all the crazy people supporting him.

  13. I won’t believe it til he’s gone of old age.

    VOTE.

  14. He needs to plummet into the ground with all his followers.

  16. And long may that continue, right up to his coronary.

  19. Maybe Donnie von Shitsinpants can stand on the off-ramp somewhere and peddle his hats! A SS guy on each side, djt with a tattered cardboard sign. Maybe that’s in his future.

  20. I’ve seen enough of these movies play out. Don’t ever count out that hairy tumour masquerading as a super villain, aka “Agent Orange,” until he’s been vanquished. We’ve all seen what happens when we start dancing before the song ends – enter Murphy’s Law.

  21. That’s no reason to become complacent though. The danger is not Trump but the Republican party. They can’t win unless he does and they are not necessarily as stupid, disorganized or erratic as he is but are just as immoral. As an organization, they will go as far as they can get away with (which is almost everything) and do whatever they need to do to acquire and keep power. No matter how illegal, destructive or dangerous it is, they will do it if they think they can get away with it. And once they have gotten away with it (e.g. try a coup), they will do it again.

    For the USA to return to normal democratic politics, they need to be decisively defeated again and again until they lose all their power.

  22. FOTR – Fear of Trump Returning – moves from potential to actual every day that passes. He’ll get buried in November and a landslide popular vote loss is the best ticket to ensuring the safety of the republic.

  23. Our country is in serious danger if he is elected again that’s all I’m gonna say if January:6th wasn’t enough proof for people were done as a country and to believe that the election was stolen is just sad especially since he knows it wasn’t and so does all the Republicans it’s a shame

  26. I heard Ivanka trump was staying in a hotel that cost 6000$ a night in southern Utah. 

  27. Almost like the Republican party being fully behind a guy who got voted out because he’s such an unlikable prick who is also facing dozens of criminals charges and acts like a grown man child in response despite the severity of his situation in court is backfiring. Who could have seen that coming?

  28. There are still plenty of idiots and billionaires to keep him afloat until he dies.

  29. Elise Stefanik is the ultimate opportunist. She was front and center when Trump was doing better and was considering her for VP/Cabinet. Her disappearance act tells me that he’s a goner

  31. He’s making a lot of noise, but not gaining support. Every time he cries wolf, less people show. People who like strongmen don’t like this behavior. Shocker.

  32. People are coming to terms with the fact that Trump really is going to be the Republican nominee again. Prior polls were more general referenda on Biden and the country. But now people are actually starting to think through their realistic choice.

    Obviously, polls this early *still* aren’t reliable (though, of course, good polls are generally better than bad polls), and under no circumstances should anyone who doesn’t want Trump think it’s safe for them to not vote.

    I’m watching for the polls that come after the conventions. At that point everyone will be dialed into the reality of the election and thinking of their choice in the most concrete terms possible. I’m certainly encouraged that fewer polls are showing a Trump lead, but things can change weekly. I remain as surprised as ever that he won a single state primary in 2016, let alone anyone that has and continues to support him 8 years later. So, there’s limits to how encouraged I’m willing to feel.

  33. Good. Trump and Trumpism is a cancer. Malignant Trumpism spread to Europe and South American. Trumpism, aka Populism + Bigotry + White Christian Nationalism + Isolationism + Capitulation, has no place in today’s geopolitics.

    The faster we can rid ourselves of Trump the better off the United States will be in addressing China, Russia, and affirming our place in the global landscape.

  34. If you want change in the US Biden alone isn’t enough. We need a lot of Democrats in the congress to get things done.
