Donald Trump's own fans are begging the former president to change course as Vice President Kamala Harris now reportedly leads him in seven national polls.
Trump late Thursday night bragged that one of his endorsed candidates, Bobby Harshbarger, prevailed against incumbent Sen. Jon Lundberg in t...
“Trump’s fans beg him to change course.”
Sure, Jan. You wouldn’t BE his fans if he wasn’t exactly the thing he is every single day.
Anyway, is this really the thing that’s a step too far? Is this the worst thing he’s ever done on camera? It isn’t.
It just feels worse this time because you can feel that Kamala Harris is going to beat him.

Nah, though. We’re not.
Howard Dean was squeaky clean when “the scream” happened. He was everyone’s favorite, and it was too early to say for sure at that moment but we felt like he could win the whole shebang. Then he screamed and it came crashing down. It wasn’t a “final straw”. It was the only straw. A straw made of Republican propaganda and enemy action, swallowed by democratic liberals.
As for Jeb Bush, he was underwhelming from the start. Nobody wanted him to be president; probably not even him. “Please clap” was his admission that his campaign wasn’t working at all. Again, not a final straw. In this case there wasn’t even a camel in the room, just Jeb, giving up.
None of these models applies cleanly to Trump. It’s not a “final straw” because there’s a mountain of straw; bales of straw as far as the eye can see. It’s not Howard Dean for the same reason. It’s not Jeb Bush either, because Trump may be faltering but he is literally incapable of throwing in the towel. He doesn’t even contain that, as an option.
So I don’t know why this one is sticking, but I think we’re closer to Jeb Bush territory than Howard Dean. I think everyone but Trump is getting a glimpse of the fact that this is going to be a bloodbath for him.

Dean’s yell was not a “last straw.” If I recall, he was doing pretty well at the time actually.
I hate the sports analogy. I understand it because I like sports. It’s apt because your statement resonates. What I hate is that it should be about the people and what needs to happen for a society. It’s not a form of entertainment. It’s life and death for most.

Do you have a link? I wanna see these goofy clips.
Well there’s this, its old but pretty funny https://fxtwitter.com/ParrotVulcan/status/1813712659268722955?s=19
Also.
I don’t know how much more digging around I wanna do in my discord server for random examples. And considering I wanted to delete this post – still not sure why people can still.see my.posts after I delete them. Must be a bug with different instances
Not really a bug, more of a feature. It’s easy to see what was deleted from comments in the fediverse. Maybe it only works in certain clients but it definitely works.
I think it’s great for transparency. Some people may not be as vitriolic if they knew their comments would be immortalized on the internet.
I mean, I guess that’s fine. People are more rude to me more than I am to them; I just can’t always shake the feeling that a post is dumb and pointless
Exactly. If he was polling well they’d be excited af to have him say all the worst things in the world about her.
Remember “Lock her up”? These people are assholes. That’s why they love him.
The irony of an actual criminal leading his rubes in chants of “lock her up” is hilarious.
His supporters can’t comprehend that their face is being eaten, but they just noticed something is off.
The weird thing is sticking. It’s breaking through the self awareness armor. It’s digging heads out of the sand.
