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

Any comment's on the Afghani who plotted to kill Trump? all over the news right now.

I think it began a while ago tbh. Arent we on the 3rd or 4th assassination attempts and/or credible attempts on Trump? This one seems like it might be an anti semitic attack. Do better america

Lot of talk about mass deportations, only people who have to worry are the criminals, the one's who are actually committing violent crimes. The rest are safe as houses imho 👍️

I hope that the Democratic Party has already created a type of bar chart for each of the points/problems that Trump is going to address and ,on a monthly basis, update the nation/world on progress eg numbers of illegals sent home, employment levels, salary levels , increase/decrease in purchasing power, inflation, national debt, unemployment levels, etc, etc, etc.

The above could be particularly done on key states that are very badly off and that he is going to do something about their situation. Could do the same for key states.
The above figures should speak for themselves as against they being conspiratorial. If the Rep have a problem with them they have 4 years to say what is wrong with them

I think that’s why Harris has essentially been blameless overall - yes there were key errors she made namely not presenting as an independent thinker candidate (when asked what she’d do differently and said she wouldn’t change anything) and her inability to be clear and succinct and articulate in her speeches in terms of what her presidency would achieve ( no doubt someone will come along and say “but Trump”) -

If racial bias or gender bias weren’t aspects of this election (and I’m not convinced they weren’t) - then the lesson learned for all is, even though your opponent is an X,Y or Z- you still have to win over your own crowd- very few people cross over the Rep/Dem divide -it’s not at all like someone here voting FF today and voting FG tomorrow

that and the fact there were I think a good 5% or so more voters registered as “independent” than 2020 (nearly sure I saw this statistic in the last week but stand corrected if otherwise) - she did well given the circumstances and she’s nothing to be ashamed of

A bit late from Pelosi. Biden needs to do a Trump as such here. Call out Pelosi e.g. Where was this talk a year ago or 2 years ago Nancy? You're a party leader, I didn't want to step down but was willing to listen. Why didn't you use your influence? Why did it have to take George Clooney for you all to circle with your knives back in July? Dispense with the niceties.

They might understand how a bruiser like Trump was able to win over Republican voters and how the party had to row in behind him. Always a crowd pleasing unapologetic f*ck you to the established politics. Any prospective 2028 nominee should be taking notes.

Do you think she is wrong ?

I was under the impression that a lot of people assumed Joe was only going to do one term ? It was widely reported. Apparently it was during his trip to Ireland when he decided to go for a second term. A costly error by Joe and the party. Though Im not sure who could have beaten Trump. I think pete buttigieg is an extraordinary candidate, great speaker and very agile in debate. But will America ever elect someone who is gay ?
Trump has been campaigning for a decade straight, Harris had a 100 days….

He said in March 2021 shortly after inauguration that reelection was his intention but would consider the option of stepping aside. (Source: AP). Pelosi, Schumer et al should have taken note I guess and made a preference known (do one and done, we want a full primary process)

If I recall correctly he went about seeking the nomination positing himself as a transition candidate, seeing himself as a bridge but not promising that he would be a one and done President.

Exactly, paint yourself as a return to normality and a bridge to the next generation of leaders. Somewhere along the way that changed. Imagine the perks and esteem of being the leader of the free world can be very tempting to keep at it. No doubt a few coat tail riders telling you that you're the one with the track record of beating Trump. Still see that some such as Fetterman have pushed back at the dump Joe contingent of the party.

He was smart with his phrasing and actions. People could read into as they deemed necessary. In fairness to the Biden arm of the party, there was considerable unity in trying to make sure Trump was a one term president. Throw in the effects of Covid and it must have felt like a condensed term in what you could do. The temptation to continue for another run must have difficult to resist.

If nothing else, we should have some new faces in the running by then.

Your last sentence requires Irish Trump supporters to think in the first place.

His foreign policy is very concerning, especially now in light of the foiled Iranian plot to kill him.
