If it's anything like 1968, that surge could be for Trump.

Just look at FL's post above. Trump is hardly "floundering." But FL is rattled by the Harris campaign's equally outlandish narrative that it is surging a grassroots wave of support into a wide lead.
His comments have enthused his supporters, who are out posting on social media about fake rallies. That muddies the waters for a lot of voters. It causes them to shrug off the whole issue as just more nonsense. That's a win.
Trump didn't say Nazis at Charlottesville were fine people, but a LOT of people believe it.
False stuff can get you a LOT of votes. You are smarter than this……
You just do not get it nor do you pay attention. None of those verses support socialism. There is not a single verse in the Bible that does. You can only get there by twisting God's word to mean something it clearly does not. You have proven you don't mind going there: you have tried to argue scripture supports homosexuality and other forms of perversion. Those efforts were almost comical in their futility. Very sad & pathetic.
You just cannot stop trolling.

Harris is out there campaigning on Trump's platform, as if the prior 4 years never happened. And you get upset at Trump trying to discredit the veracity of her support? For getting millions of people out there to push a narrative that the Harris campaign is a lie?
It is amazing how obtuse the smart people can be when they confuse virtue with politics.
Media is making it tough sledding. CNN went from being pretty objective when it was Biden to full-out pro-Kamala and she is not being challenged. She denied a TIME Magazine interview and no one is saying a word. She is not going to have to defend anything. POTUS is being gifted...
They need us to be wrong, to be liars, etc..... If we tell the truth, they will explain it is a lie. Look at the way they use "misinformation" to justify censorship. You can be absolutely factually correct, but if it is at odds with their narrative, it will be described as misinformation and canceled.
Look at what Musk has done with X. A billion impressions on the Trump interview. Dems were willing to forego all that, pass up the chance to monetize the most widely viewed interview in history, to silence their opponent.
Look what Walz did to enforce a lockdown. And they call US the Nazis.......Never forget: Cops shoot people with paintballs standing on their front porches during the lockdown curfew ordered by Governor Tim Walz in Minnesota in 2020 pic.twitter.com/PZCWqszPwI

Repubs need to be replaying this over and over and over instead of focusing on crowd size.
Walz is truly an authoritarian nut.
Walz's Gestapo, truly horrific when you think about the mentality that the policemen operated under, and all due to some people being outside their homes.
I agree. But, it is funny how things play in an election. Doesn't always go like you think...historian said:

If Trump was not an idiot, he should act like an adult and talk about issues. The problem is that Brown will just bet quiet, and every thing Trump argues will be coached as "Republicans pounce."

Let's be honest…Trump talks plenty about the issues
Inflation, the economy, mass immigration…
But that does not seem to get through to you since the media does not want to focus on those issues (since the all make the Biden-Harris administration look bad)
Go pull up the text of one of his full stump speeches and you will see that.
My guess is that you just focus on the clips the media shows you (30-50 second clips) of hour to two our hour speeches

Buddy he just did a long one on one interview with Elon Musk that was watched by 60-80 million people.
And he talked plenty about the issues.
At some point you have to realize your perception is not reality…but it's a understandable perception if viewed through a certain media lens
He is engaging on the issues and before a lot of viewers
He throws out insults at his political opponents but it's not what he does the majority of the day or what he talks about the majority of the time.
But that's what is going to get most repeated. And you can't entirely blame the media, because Trump loves to throw out insults and likes to see them get attention. So it's not as if he is continually making minor social faux pas speaking in private that get overheard.Redbrickbear said:boognish_bear said:Redbrickbear said:Harrison Bergeron said:

I'm sure there is research out there on this, but I am curious if Trump is more likely to gain votes from people currently leaning Harris or more likely to gain votes from people currently leaning 3rd party or not voting at all just because of his behavior. If the answer is the latter, then he really should be tailoring his approach towards those.
He can even tie in subtle jabs at Harris, "Gosh I would really like to hear VP Harris' verbal thoughts on this subject..." But my guess is he won't be able to drop the heavier insults because he loves a good zinger that will encourage people who are already going to vote for him vote that much better.

How about pointing out the weird policies of the opponents instead of stupid distractions? How about attacking the opponents and quit truth socialing or tweeting about your own party people? I'm not looking for virtue. I'm looking for strategy and sanity, and it's been missing for the past several weeks from the Trump campaign.
I listened to the entire exchange. He should thank his lucky stars it was Elon 1 on 1 because he saved Trump from himself on multiple occasions. Trump has never been a good articulator on issues, and falls into non specific insults like "the worst" "horrible" "terrible" "you wouldn't believe how bad" etc. And when it comes to his own solutions he tends toward "the best" "so much better" "greatest" etc.Redbrickbear said:boognish_bear said:Redbrickbear said:Harrison Bergeron said:

Fact Check put the number at closer to a million watched. He gets caught up in this number size pissing contest crap. He has an opportunity to talk issues and he waste it with dick size crap. A million on X, Reuters reported 1.3M, is a big number, which gets lost in his exaggerations.
