And the seats were full, never in all of history has the seats been so full, there were 2, maybe three, people in each seat, and people were hanging from the rafters and fighting to get in from outside, biggest crowd ever.
Dan Patrick has pledged a million dollars to put Turning Point in every school in Texas. It would please me greatly if they took the money and disappeared with it.
I was just told they booked my theater for this clown show in a few weeks. I really hope turnout is as low as this. Actually, even lower. Actually, just cancel.
Same reason the polls got it wrong. A significant number of GOP voters are well aware that what they are doing is morally repugnant and so won't admit it or be seen associating with it in public.
Ignoring the 30% of voters that were entirely ok with another Trump term and didn't vote. Our country is trash, and I'm not sure it can be or should be saved.
I mean ok but US elections are preposterous. You don’t win presidencies by winning the popular vote you win it by winning swing states, and he got every. single. one.
No he didn't. He did not get MN or NH or that district in NE.
If Harris ran a more inspiring campaign, had just a couple policies better than $50,000 tax credits for Silicon Valley start-up CEOs, and didn't suck up to Netanyahu so hard, that one was perfectly winnable.
Granted, Trump tricked people again on both counts, but he was campaigning on tax free tips and overtime and peace, even if he was full of shit and didn't deliver. He knew to at least lie about wanting popular policies.
NH was closer than NC. Democrats won NC what? Once in the last 60 years in 2008? Why is NC a swing state and not NH? Here's a different outlet with a different list: https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/battlegrounds/2024. Not hard to find them.

Wow even Kirk fans managed to be embarrassed about how clownish that organization is.

A million dollars to make Texas kids even less educated and even more stupid and racist... Sounds right for the dead racists company.

This is every MAGA event for about 5 years. Observably not as popular as they were… landslide victory. Make it make fucking sense.
SomeDetroitGuy
There wasnt a "landslide victory". Where did you get that? Trump didnt even get a majority of votes.
Trelfar
Same reason the polls got it wrong. A significant number of GOP voters are well aware that what they are doing is morally repugnant and so won't admit it or be seen associating with it in public.

It wasn't a landslide. It was close AF. Neither candidate got a majority. Trump just calls 49.8% "a landslide" and people believe it.

All the normative judgements in the world aside, 2024 was objectively not a "landslide victory."
No use buying into the grizzled greasy old fuck's bullshit.

I don’t recall them being swing states in 2024. People tend to list these seven. https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/swing-states/

Whom is going to be blamed for this, I wonder. Alternatively, it was 'A packed event. The Fake News have selectively doctored the footage'

Damn liberals

It should be “who”, not “whom”. Please.

Liberal Conspiracy is their complaint... not that MAGA got bored of a woman lead movement now that the widow tour is losing momentum.
