Harris in "excellent health," her physician says, as campaign looks to pressure Trump to release medical records
www.cbsnews.com
The Harris campaign views the release as an opportunity to turn the conversation towards the physical health and mental acuity of her opponent, former President Donald Trump.

I admit I do love it when Trump gets trolled.

(Weirdly, the post title didn’t match the headline in the actual link, but the version Lemmy let me click on to make the title works better anyway.)

    Yes? Because many of those people are willing to vote for him because they always vote Republican, not because they like him. And they’re being shaved off bit by bit. Pointing and laughing has been a help. The whole “weird” thing is infuriating them.

      He needs more than his supporters to win, the election is a toss-up, and his supporters are dumping him.

      …are you going to tell me he’s shifting left, because that would be ludicrous, but seems to be the only way to draw a coherent thread out of what you’re saying?

        No? I’m telling you that he can’t win with just his supporters. Are you suggesting he’s definitely going to win and no one should bother voting for Harris? What is the point of this discussion if you aren’t?

          Let’s see…

          You do understand the election is a toss-up, don’t you?

          Guess not.

          I understand you said he can’t win with just his supporters - you also said he’s losing those supporters. Putting aside the fact that people voting for him are definitionally supporters, you understand that those 2 statements clearly imply that there’s no need to vote for Harris, right?

          My point is that you’re all over the place with your talking points - there doesn’t seem to be any way to thread them together.

            I did not say he was losing supporters.

            This is what I said:

            I have no idea why you’re lying when the comment chain is right there.

              And they’re being shaved off bit by bit.

              Who is the “they” if not people that would vote for Trump, and what do you mean by “shaved off” if you don’t mean they won’t be voting for him?

                This is the third time. What part of this is unclear to you?

                many of those people are willing to vote for him because they always vote Republican, not because they like him.

                Those are not his supporters. There’s a difference between voting for someone and supporting them. I didn’t support either Clinton or Biden. I voted for them because they weren’t Trump.

                  Would it be fair to rephrase that as the people you’ve said he needs are abandoning him? What does that suggest about the need for people that oppose Trump to vote?

                  I don’t know how you think lining up to vote for the head of the Republican party isn’t supporting both the party and the head of the party, but that nonsensical position is beside the point.

                    No, it wouldn’t be fair to change my words. But I can see why you would want to rather than acknowledge you didn’t understand what I was saying.
