Veteran, football coach, hunter. Definitely adds more crossover appeal than Vance did for his campaign, IMO.

Well, they put on a good show.

Aug 9th. Donald Trump rambled and lied for over an hour without any follow up questions or fact-checking, live on most of the networks, who then didn't show Harris live!

Is it just me or does it look like the Trump/Vance campaign looks to be completely lost about how to campaign against the Democrats this time?

It seems like their only strategy was to go "Old man bad", "Let's go Brandon" , and "Hunter's laptop!!!" and that's it. They don't seem like they have a strategy for dealing with Harris, much less Tim Waltz. An they are just coming across as deeply weird about it...

Having listened to some of it, I think it's good for Trump that if his presidential bid fails, he can be the next voice actor for Daffy Duck or Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr...

He was slurring his words and lisping, most of the time he sounded like a confused, racist Daffy Duck or Sylvester the cat.

Some reports that RFK's wife doesn't want him to endorse Trump

She's still been married to him for 10 years. I have come to think that people believe she's more liberal than she really is.

And it's official.

Technically he is not withdrawing from the campaign, just suspending the campaign.

Half a dozen of one, six of the other.
