?????? v Trump (and one or two others) The US Presidential election 2024. Read OP before posting

Nationalist, as in national socialist? Or national racists?

It is racist. They are poisoning our blood implies their blood is inferior. This is clearly racist.

He wasn't ranting about illegal Caucasian immigration and you know it, don't pretend otherwise.

Trump has a pattern of Nazi echoes.

Illegal immigration is America's number one concern. We've seen what happens when Democrat cities actually get a taste of what southern states have been dealing with, like what happened in New York.

I really think you don't have a solid grasp of politics if you think Trump's statement is some big problem for him. Look at this poll. Even a huge portion of Democrats support deportations of illegal migrants. That doesn't make them racist.

It would be a lot more interesting to talk about how that sentiment is going to translate when it comes time to vote. Will those in the middle vote for Biden "because Trump is a racist" or will they hold their nose and vote for Trump because they think illegal immigration is a massive problem.

They spread misinformation because they think it is acceptable and they never call each other out. All it does is dilute their points and make me think they are probably lying as usual.

Had he been able to pick a VP on merit

Harris was, and is highly qualified and experienced.

What merit had Mike Pence, Paul Ryan or Sarah Palin (three most recent GOP VP candidates) above her?

She hasn't stepped up as she could/should have while in the role, but this narrative that she was some sort of a DEI pick alone is BS.

Yep, it must be so difficult to see all these narratives built up over time all come crumbling down so fast now. Some big ones to fall yet i think.

It is a typical Trump dog whistle so people can hear what they want to hear. Say something vague that gets out there… in follow-up questions if pressed he'll walk it back.

Same with the 'Proud Boys' comment to 'stand by'.

Dog whistling to Neo Nazis and racists.

Now, it is not even a dog whistle, it is right out there with racist comments echoing the Nazis about 'poisoning our blood'.

This is the language of Neo Nazis and white supremacists, and Trump invokes it.

Says it all.

Trump may be a racist, com artists and whatever else. That does not change the reality that he's likely to be the next president unless Biden steps aside. No matter how much you scream about Trump and pretend Biden is ok will change that reality. The Democrats must act now or they will lose in November.

Regarding the Proud Boys quote, it's difficult to think Trump was giving it that kind of thought because it was a response to Chris Wallace asking him if he'd disavow extremist groups who seem to support him and MAGA. The 'poisoning the blood of our country' bit was said at a speech, though, and I could well believe that was something Trump was running up the flagpole in order to see the kind of response it got.

I don't think Trump care if things he says get a large negative response because they may get a larger positive response from the kind of people he's trying to appeal to. If the negative response outweighs the positive one, he'll just dismiss what he said as riffing and/or taken out of context by the media.

no it didn’t

terrible for you because of where you live?

where?

Russia?

just casual observer, i presume Trump now very likely to be elected in November with set of Biden the last few weeks?

It is a pretty poor choice in the sense that if you're choosing Biden, it's probably more because of how scared you are of Trump than how excited you are for Biden.

That doesn't mean, however, that Biden isn't much preferable, if that must be the choice. Trump has no regard for democracy where and when it doesn't favour him, which is why he refused to say he would accept a losing result in 2016, which is why he didn't accept a losing result in 2020 and why he is refusing to say if he'll accept a losing result in 2024. We know full well what he would do if he were to lose the upcoming election. How do we know? January 6, 2021 When he sat in a small room next to the Oval Office and only releasing a statement condemning the violence when it became clear the insurrection would not succeed. When he called upon Mike Pence not to sign off on a democratic election, on no basis. That's bad enough. If you go into testimony about Trump's conduct on the day, it gets worse with Trump allegedly saying that Pence deserved hanging.

Anybody who can favour Trump after all that, or thinks it'll all be normal if he gets back in is either an idiot, or is disingenuous and wants to see Trump be a quasi dictatorial strongman who punishes his political enemies just for being so.
