He didn't know the difference between Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley.
Oh my G-d, I didn't even think of this. This makes so much sense. What an absolute buffoon.
Buffoon
You spelled dementia-riddled-narcissist-sociopath wrong.
Kamala Haley is a dangerous radical liberal! Everybody says so!
“Why didn’t Kamala Pelosi stop January 6th from happening? She was in charge of security that day, I’ll never forgive her for that.”
He might not, but questioning his opponents race is a pretty standard tactic of his.
John Fredericks, a Trump-aligned conservative radio host, told POLITICO on Monday that the “personal attacks against Kamala Harris are really ill-advised and ill-placed, and have no upside in this campaign,” saying some Republicans’ recent DEI references were “stupid.”
“Certainly on the air, I’m not doing it,” Fredericks said.
Dude admits that it's what they all are thinking, he's just aware enough to know that it doesn't sound good and won't say that shit in public. Coward.
It sounds like hes saying he's not doing it on the air, but he still believes that nonsense.
Notice he called the attacks "stupid," not racist.
Hes saying it's bad politics, not that he disagrees.
“No plan survives contact with the enemy” - Paraphrasing Helmuth von Moltke
"Covfefe" - Donald J. Trump
"We have met the enemy, and he is us." - Pogo
"When the enemy does something unexpected, they owe you for the resources you wasted chasing the wrong strategy." - Sun Tzu, The Art of Being an Upwards Failing Fuckup
His performance may have drawn some gasps from the audience, but I doubt it had the same effect on his fan base. He was not there to speak to the US as a whole; he was there to speak to his die hard supporters - those who actually enjoy his racist, sexist, hateful remarks and voted for him in 2016 because of them; the same people who were willing to stage a coup in his favour in 2021, after four years of ignorance, pettiness and hatred.
His strategy against Biden was winning because it gathered him bipartisan support - even Democrats were dubious about Biden being able to do a good job - but now that that's out of the question, Trump has fallen back to his usual script, because it's too late to do anything else. After all, questioning Obama's birth and throwing sexist remarks against Clinton won him an election; why wouldn't it work again? Just stick to the fanbase that won you an election once and almost won you another the second time, and hope for the best.
People always talk about how he is doing things to please his fan base. Maybe. But they are at most 30% of the country and he needs more than that to win.
This is not going to help him with people who are not in his fan base.
I’d love to agree but gerrymandering, along with other dubious anti-democratic policies, means that Republicans have a gross advantage. This presidential election will probably be as close as the last.
Gerrymandering has nothing to do with a presidential election. It doesn't even help with senatorial elections.
Sure, but the Electoral College affords Republicans the same advantage in Presidential races.

That wasn't their point. Go back and reread the whole thing. They're just saying the popular vote is meaningless and that Republicans have multiple political advantages that favor them
Oh, no, it's having quite an effect on the fanbase. Mostly, they recognize what a losing strategy it is, even if they agree with it.
Just take a look at the old conservative stallwart site, Free Republic: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4255438/posts
There's a few people weakly defending it, but there's a general tenor of "oh shit, we fucked up".
Amusingly, there's a few people saying they should try winning on policy, not race. This after the Heritage Foundation put out a 900+ page PDF with their dream policies, and Americans were horrified by it. Guys, if you could win on policy, you wouldn't have ever needed Trump.
Dementia Don flounders when the unexpected comes along. He's a bad leader. A good leader knows how to manage the unexpected (like a change in a presidential campaign) and take appropriate action (stick to the issues and avoid the racist card). Not Old Sleepy Don! It's just like when the global pandemic came around. The horrible leader didn't rely on experts for help and made up things that got people killed. His narcissism prevents him from getting advice better than his own poor knowledge base. He lost in 2020 and he still stinks. He'll lose in 2024 if people get out and vote. Vote blue not pee-yew!
Such a weirdo
He said that because Vivek sold out to the WASPs so completely that he figured Kamalas “indian half” should have as well. He thinks that because he was raised a Presbyterian. A racist one too. He’s a fucking idiot, what can you expect?
Vote, idiots.
That headline is priceless.
He actually likes the taste of foot i guess
