2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'

[Stavros]

Forgot to ask: will there be Vice-President debates? And when does Trump make his choice? I keep seeing JD Vance's name in the gossip, but surely he is too alpha to run beside Trump, who needs a wimp that will make him look like Daddy rather than Bro -?

There's been no announcement of VP debates. I think both parties will still have conventions. The VP nominees should be announced then.

Is there any purpose in the so-called Presidential Debates? They are not debates in the real sense of the term. More likely they will just be two men attacking each other as Trump has no policies other than tax cuts and immigration control, and will reject any claim Biden's term has been good for the US economy. Anyway the Trump camp already say the debates are rigged.

Is there anything in the US that isn't rigged?

Yes there is,because it will help voters decide which of the two candidates they want too vote for in the upcoming presidental election. Not surprising at all the Trump Campaign are making false claims that the debates are rigged.

More on the VP stakes: this is from the Telegraph, which can be relied on to attack Biden on all fronts, so much of the opinion is warped. That said, this is the justification for choosing Rubio as VP-

"The Latino population grew by 23 per cent from 2010 to 2020, and now account for 18.7 per cent of the US population. Despite generally lower participation rates, more than 17.5 million Latino voters are expected to cast ballots this November nationwide, representing a 6.5 per cent increase from Election 2020. More than one of every 10 voters will be Latino (11.1 per cent) this year, a 20.5 per cent increase from 2016.
Latinos have become increasingly critical of Biden’s border policies. Recent polling shows that 40 per cent consider the border to be in crisis, and dislike the government’s lax enforcement policies. A full third favours more deportations, a position once rare among those of Hispanic heritage."

Re-structing a State might not be new, but can I assume this proposal -to remove eastern Oregon to Idaho will not pass? If anything, it speaks to an enmity between Americans that Trump and the Republicans seem keen to exploit, even if, or maybe because it will see to the effective demise of the USA as e pluribus unum? It will be more like Brexit than Stalingrad, but just as daft.

Oh dear, poor Elise...when someone reminds you of something bad you said about someone you now love...'how dare you!'.

Because the truth is another country, they did things differently there.

Here is the other Elise, the one that Beethoven wrote in 1810 when James Madison was the elected President of the USA, played by André Watts who died last year. I know which Elise I prefer.

"“Let me ask you,” Biden said during an address to an NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) dinner in Detroit. “What do you think he would have done on January 6 if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol?”"

The MAGA King and Wannabe Dictator Donald Trump,would have called in the DC National Guard and US Secret Service. And we all know that he didn't do a damn thing for over 3 hours to stop the capitol riot,because he was at the White House watching on television cheering them on.

"Former President Donald Trump on Monday posted a video on his social media platform that uses a language that appears to mirror that of Nazi Germany, suggesting there will be a "Unified Reich" if he wins the 2024 election...
Under a big headline that says, "WHAT'S NEXT FOR AMERICA?" there is a smaller headline underneath that appears to read: "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH."...
In a statement to the Associated Press, the Trump campaign claimed it is not a campaign video but rather a video reposted by a staffer who did not see the word." (My highlight in bold).

Nah, did not see the word because it was in BLOCK CAPITALS...should have gone to Specsavers
