How much time is available between the end of the convention and the start of early voting? Only WEEKS. The Dems are counting on the useful idiots casting their votes before the truth about the Marxist comes out.

Works on the assumption that people are as upset about Harris as you are.

Most of us are relieved she tapped in.

Not true at all. At best, only half are relieved. The other half are intelligent.

For every Republican who is happily drinking the Bleach, there's a Republican who is waiting for Trump to lose so they can take their party back from the nuts.

And combined, you are still in the minority.

is trump presidential?...

Initially, in 2015, nope. But he was elected, so I guess the answer is yes. Sure, he's not the polished, Washington groomed, politically correct politician, but that's what was so alluring to so many at the time and still is for a lot of people. He gives no shits about what people think about him. Doesn't make it "right" and he could use some lessons in decorum.

What’s more important is his policies, and what is best for America, and by extent the entire world. How anyone could prefer a Word Salad DEI pick who wants to bring Marxism here, give universal income to all - INCLUDING THE ILELGALS, and sides with Islamic terrorists (oops…she doesn’t want us calling them that) over Jews who were tortured to death in their own beds (and cribs) is beyond belief.

You mean compared to Trump, who has had a long string of Failures?

I'm always amused by that narrative about Trump from the left, Joey! He's someone who's had something like 500 different businesses set up and has had a few dozen that haven't done well which the left want to claim makes him a "failure"! Ask any businessman if he would be happy with Trump's success rate with businesses and they'd ALL say "Hell Yes!!!"

That’s actually a very impressive ratio of success. Knowledgeable people (that would exclude Joe) are aware that MOST businesses - as high as 80% - fail within the first few years. The fact that Trump has had 500 different businesses with a couple dozen failures is a testament to his abilities.

That's kind of a sad commentary on America, isn't it?

If you had a child who acted like Trump does, insulting people, (including his own allies) being crude to women, mocking the disabled, etc. You wouldn't tolerate that behavior from a kid for a minute unless you were trying to raise a sociopath.

So why do you tolerate it from a President?

Oh, please, Harris and Biden have given Bibi everything he wants to carry out Genocide in Gaza.

Here's the thing about your whining about Marxism. for the 40% of the population that controls less than 1% of the wealth, it's probably not a bad deal. For the next 20% that controls only 4% of the wealth, it isn't that bad, either. (Although most of them already have "socialism" in the form of Middle Class Entitlements)

The Second Quintile controls 8% of the wealth. They might be effected by "Marxism", or maybe not.

It's really only the top 20% that would have an issue.

I'm as horrified by the fact that so many young people think Commie Bernie is cool, but not surprised.

None of his businesses have done well... most of them have been failures or required government bailouts.

If you want someone that will actually do the job then Trump is your guy. It's basically that simple.

you guys should learn what the word means....there is difference between policies and how one acts...

The 4 Most Common Reasons a Small Business Fails

Discover the most common reasons that small businesses fail, including capital formation, management concerns, planning issues, and marketing missteps.

The 4 Most Common Reasons a Small Business Fails

The most common reasons that small businesses fail include a lack of capital or funding, retaining an inadequate management team, a faulty infrastructure or business model, and unsuccessful marketing initiatives.

Let's look at them:
Lack of capital - Trump has billions of dollars in cash, and even more in credit. So capital wasn't the issue

Retaining an inadequate management team - Trump only hires the best people

Faulty infrastructure or business model - Trump knows more about (fill in the blank) than anybody else.

Unsuccessful marketing initiatives - Trump is the biggest promoter of himself and his brands.

There should have been no reason for a Trump business to fail, except for Trumps own failures at running the business. Like not hiring the best people.

The first thing it means is the ability to work with both parties in congress and to partner with other countries for the betterment of both countries.

I'm not saying I tolerate it. I'm not saying it's okay. It shouldn't be okay. But here we are. 10 years now and as a country we are being presented with 2 candidates that is creating more divided, and most of the country is okay with that? Harris, come on, we all know she is the least qualified candidate the Dems have put forth in decades. And Trump, well, he has 4 years under his belt. Like I said, not the most polished person on the planet. A narcissist and misogynist, not a "great person", but if we have to pick from the two, which is is the travesty we have today, I'll pick Trump.

Our current two party system is absolutely broken and tearing this country apart. And if we as a society and a Republic can't see that, than you (speaking generally) are the problem.
