Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

The consensus is very much that high turnout = a Democrat advantage.

So the more that they can generate voter enthusiasm, execute their GOTV strategies and 'bank' these early votes, the better it is for Harris.

Trump now 13/18, Harris 7/5

Whatever Trump is doing its working.

Trump media stock appears to have collapsed after his bizarre actions this week… so not everything is working

Donald Trump is ostensibly slated to take another shot at Kamala Harris as he reportedly heads to the multi-billion dollar conglomerate McDonald's in Pennsylvania this coming weekend to “work the fry cooker".

Trump has claimed that his half-hour stint would still be "longer and harder" than his opponent has ever worked at McDonald’s.

Trump's pledge is a direct mockery of Harris' claims that she "did the fries" as a student.

Juvenile but funny.

Like when McConnel said making election day a federal holiday would be a 'naked power grab' and called it the Democrat Protection Act. Republicans are keenly aware that their platform is unpopular in the electorate and have sought tirelessly to subdivide, gerrymander and suppress votes to remain in power. Even last night Ted Cruz was freaking out that Colin Allred, if elected, will help vote to give DC and Puerto Rico representation in Congress, acknowledging that these are democratic-leaning areas, which would ensure that the GOP remains a minority party for the forseeable future - until at least it can go figure out how to not be a bunch of handsmaid-tale style despots and actually formulate a platform that is palatable to the American people.

I would say not well at all.

I myself have champagne ready for a Harris win… but I’m not sure what to drink for a Trump win….mostly likely whiskey.

I would not assume that MAGA will just disappear, in fact I am certain it would not even if Trump retired from political life.

I think a lot would hinge on the margin of defeat.

I think the one thing that most can agree on is that pretty much any other Republican candidate would be way ahead in the polls.

This strikes me as a bad idea.

The timing of the collapse of the stock price yesterday coincided with his disastrous interview with Bloomberg EIC.

Micklethwait tried to move back to talking about debt, “President Trump– the markets are looking at the fact you are making all these promises. Latest one was car loans. You’re flooding the thing with giving giveaways. But I was also I was actually quite kind to you. I used 7 trillion. The upper estimate is 15 trillion. People like the Wall Street Journal, which is hardly a communist organization, they have criticized you on this as well. You are running up enormous debt.”

“What is [sic] The Wall Street Journal know? I’m meeting with them tomorrow. What is The Wall Street Journal that they’ve been wrong about everything. So have you, by the way,” Trump shot back.

“You’ve been wrong,” Trump added as the crowd roared.

“You’re trying to turn this. You’re trying to turn–” hit back Micklethwait.

“You’ve been wrong,” Trump repeated.

“I know you’re trying, you’re trying to turn this into debate. There are business people. There are business people–” Micklethwait replied.

“You’re wrong. You’ve been wrong. You’ve been wrong all your life on this stuff. You know, let me tell you about currency. You kind of you know, you go and jump in a lot of a lot of different subjects,” Trump added.

Trump was also asked about whether google should be broken up, and he gave a reply that had absolutely nothing to do with economics or google, but about Virginia and a DOJ lawsuit to prevent the state from purging the voter rolls within 90 days of a general election:

Micklethwait: “The U.S. Justice Department is thinking about breaking up Alphabet, as Google likes to be known now. Should Google be broken up?”

Trump: "I just haven’t gotten over something that the Justice Department did yesterday where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes [sic]. And the Justice Department sued them, that they should be allowed to put those bad votes [sic] and illegal votes [sic] back in and let the people vote. So, I haven’t gotten– I haven’t gotten over that. A lot of people have seen that and I can’t believe it."

Micklethwait: But the question is about Google, President. Trump.

The stock peaked yesterday at the start of the interview and only went down from there. As articles began to really go viral about how disastrous it was, around 2 PM (MediaITE published theres at 1:56 PM), the stock really fell off the cliff, and triggered automatic pauses in trading.

Best not post that on twitter/x unless you want to be labeled a 'pedo guy'…

I mean if that's your conclusion let nothing stop you from maxing out the credit cards and betting it all on red.

(No. wait. stop. come back.)

It's weird we used to see a lot of posts 4+ years ago of users hyperfixated on the alleged performance of their 401(k)s under Trump now not a peep under Biden.
