U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

Maybe he’ll bring a bag of garbage onstage and throw trash out to exuberant attendees

Or maybe he’ll stop the rally to dance along to “Dirty Work”

i agree vance is a terrible vp pick but i also feel like he will be the next republican presidential nominee. more likely if trump wins but even if not his odds are still good imo. just a hunch but i think he’s gonna get the lions share of trump’s primary voters while at the same time being palpable enough to what remains of the non-trump establishment republicans

i think if trump goes away nikki haley is totally going up against kamala in 4 years.

If Trump loses? I think this is true only if Trump is alive and strongly supports him. But more likely is that if Trump loses he talks shit about how Vance failed him and lost him the election and is a loser weirdo. I don't think Trump's voters have any residual affection for the people who suck up to Trump. Trump has contempt for those people and ditches them the moment they're no longer useful and his voters understand and conform to that.

i dont think vance has the stuff to win a primary

also i think trump will run again if he loses and is still alive

hopefully hell be incarcerated at the time tho

Vance is the broligarch’s choice now and in the future.

I don’t think he will know who he is as the next primary season arrives

Trump specifically

I think if Trump loses Vance doesn't even run for reelection and goes back to being a rich tech-bro/venture capital dude with a right-wing think tank position of some kind and lucrative hustle as a speaker at conservative confabs. That guy does not feel like an elected politician lifer to me.

The biggest mark against Vance is all the dumb shit he's obviously going to say and do between now and 2028.

I don’t think he will know who he is as the next primary season arrives

yeah he could be too far gone to run but who knows where that line is hes just gotta be well enough to go on tv and say hes running, def a good chance if he runs that the campaign is doa tho

My guess would be that Haley has very little future in the Republican party at a national level--that the best she could do is what Romney does now.

Xp But can they make the R base like him? They were originally all in on DeSantis

To Suzy

if trump loses the gop is def in an interesting spot theyre not going to be able to put the genie back in the bottle but at the same time all the wannabe trumps have so far turned out to be total stiff losers

I think the GOP's permanently in what suzy calls a broligarchy and Haley has no future.

also i think trump will run again if he loses and is still alive

man i hope not

If Donald Trump loses (and I very much think he is going to) he will have lost two presidential elections in a row and cost his party the House, the Senate, and numerous other elections across the country. He, himself, is a loser and electoral poison. The fact that he fell backwards into an electoral college victory one time eight years ago has so thoroughly brainwashed people that it's fucking amazing.

yeah its for sure something

An interesting comment from Bluesky (don't know who the poster is):

We are going to look back at Trump 2024 and realize we were scared of something that was falling apart on its own the entire time, just like we did with the Soviet Union 30 years ago.

i think trump would still have kingmaker power and if he cared could basically ordain the next nominee. but it’s not clear at all that he will care if he’s not running himself, might just trash everybody

otm. problem is he’s very popular among republican primary voters

he's not gonna ordain anybody it's all about him all the time

the fact that the GOP went back to him after losing 2020 and then Jan 6 and also getting their asses kicked in 2022 with the Trumpy candidates in particular doing poorly could be an indication that they just really love fascism that much but it could also mean the party just has no ideas, I mean they haven't really done shit since taking the House, they've been one of the least productive Congresses in history

I can see Haley being the next frontrunner. I really do not think it'll be Vance. most likely it'll be some ghoul we aren't really talking about yet.

Yeah I mean we've said this a bunch of times but there is no other Trump. The most important thing about him is that he arrived as already a huge celebrity, he was famous and that got a lot of people excited who don't get excited by politicians. His whole rude/crude shock-jock racist shtick would not have worked as well if he weren't already a star. You can't replicate that, even though obviously people will try.

everything's coming up Vivek!

its high time for a big hair president

otm. problem is he’s very popular among republican primary voters

Seems to me like that's a problem for Republican primary voters, who can't get it together to field a winning candidate. It's a gift to everyone else.

(Assuming he loses on Tuesday. Which I think he will.)

There's always the possibility of an existing celeb making a left (right?) turn into politics, US posters please tell me who that might be

will say re trump being a loser that he almost beat biden once and very likely would have this time were it not for bidens very bad debate

Reminded of the I Think You Should Leave Now skit in which Tim Robinson’s character does a stupid thing at a party which turns out to be a big hit with a group of losers, who keep trying among themselves to do “another thing”, all while looking at Tim for his approval.

if not for the pandemic he would’ve crushed biden in 2020. fumbling the pandemic as bad as he did (and not being able to take credit for the good stuff he did do like operation warp speed due to his supporters being anti-vaxxers) is totally on him tho so that’s a point for the loser side

This isn't even a short decontextualized snippet, it's nearly 2 minutes. At just a base level of making a job hire, it's so crazy that so many people are voting for this.

Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage

“When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him.… pic.twitter.com/Yyi4MuhR3N

He's right about Hannibal Lecter though

Reading this, I can feel my brain melting into goo.

“I do the weave.” Now I’ve got Tim Curry on the brain.

the most relatable thing about trump is that he likes tv and movies

Love the suit.

And books, which is what he would be talking about with that coterie of English professor friends of his that are so enamored of The Weave.

he's got two more rallies today, they must be pumping him full of the strongest stimulents known to man

Did I read that he is spending the last few days exclusively in ... NC, for some reason?

he's also in VA today which is uhh not where you wanna be in November

NC has only gone blue once since 1976 (Obama 08) so if he's spending the final days there it could be a sign their internals are lookin really bad and they're just hoping for some 270-268 scenario where they can maybe pull some shit

or they're just morons, who knows

Speaking of morons

Wonder how Nicklaus measures up to Arnold Palmer?

It’s funny that he talks about how of course Jack Nicklaus’s kids would be great golfers, because as far as I can tell only one of them played golf and he was not good. Took eight tries to make the tour, struggled for three years and quit.

tbf thats still really good at golf

(His one recorded win was in the 1999 Office Depot Father/Son Challenge, where he played with his dad)

Fellas is it gay to have sex with a liberal woman?!

xpost Sadly I read that as the Failson Challenge.
