It's not about being smart, it's basic political relations. Trump did the same thing in reverse a few weeks ago, telling people he'd vote for RFK over Biden. He has to maintain the hostilities towards both. Plus, it's Donald Trump. He's ill. Well, I was being facetious about the "smart" part, but yeah, he wants ALL of the votes to go to him. Zero to RFK Jr. and zero to Biden. He rips Biden, he rips RFK now. He's not going to get them all, so if I were him, I'd just let RFK alone and let the people take Biden votes away. But the point was, why rip RFK if he's in the Republicans pocket, like you said. Because he has to keep the illusion alive long enough to beat Biden at the polls. Simple. He'll attack whatever he needs to to maintain that identity. That doesn't mean RFK isn't a plant.

Latest polling is a dynamite illustration in recency bias. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/04/28/politics/cnn-poll-trump-biden-matchup"Trump’s support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, the same as in CNN’s last national poll on the race in January, while Biden’s stands at 43%, not significantly different from January’s 45%. Looking back, 55% of all Americans now say they see Trump’s presidency as a success, while 44% see it as a failure. In a January 2021 poll taken just before Trump left office and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55% considered his time as president a failure." Time apparently does heal all... Time, and people attributing the negatives going on this country, and outside of it, to Biden, whether it's his fault, or not. Otherwise known as.... recency bias.

There's no chance Trump wins the popular vote, but as always, it'll be down to six or seven states.

It's either his age, the economy, the Gaza conflict, foreign policy issues, etc. He's a very, very weak incumbent by incumbent standards, same as Trump was four years ago.

Yes, those protesters chanting "death to America" "death to Isreal" and "we are Hamas" into a video camera are stupider than f x x x . Good luck getting a job 5 years down the road, as your brand gets brought up on a background check. Those particular protesters and the trumpers deserve each other. I don't care who they vote for. I don't think they should be arrested, I think they should be made to spend a week with hamas..then watch their crying about "mean" people. I hear hamas treats women and gay people really well.

Guess I missed your answer to the question was the DoJ's Special Council Hur telling the truth or lying? Four More Years Pause Your intellectual dishonesty and refusal to deal in facts is becoming tiresome. You spew rhetoric, but ignore facts. The bill that Trump killed was basically written by the Repubicans. FACT. It gave them 90% of what they wanted. FACT. Trump and the Republicans did NOTHING to stop the border problems and allowed fentanyl to keep flowing across the border when they had the White House, and held majorities in both Houses of Congress for TWO YEARS. FACT. Nothing will reduce the control of the Southern Border by the Mexican Drug Cartels more than Deportation. If you pay the Cartels, the Coyotes and the corrupt Mexican Government officials and still get deported, you might just then try to play by the rules and not potentially lose thousands of dollars over and over again. And if the Bill includes amnesty, you don't have to be an Einstein to know that a corrupt Democrat Administration will drive Semis through that law to achieve electoral supremacy. So there are main differences between HR2 and Biden/Democrat/RINO bill. The GOP should never reward the Democrat's blatant lawlessness and should not keep the Mexican Cartels hip deep in the money coming from human trafficking. With the fillibuster, legislation can be thwarted by a minority of either side, thus leaving executive orders left as the primary levers to pull-FACT. And the history of EOs and actions by Biden to enable this chaos is undeniable-FACT.

He's not a doctor, he's not qualified to give any kind of medical assessment. The role of a Special Counsel is to investigate and give a summary conclusion on whether a prosecution should take place, period. But he did also conclude that the stark contrast between Biden's documents case and Trump's meant that only one rose to the level of criminality. Trump whataboutism aside, your defense of Joe is that Hur is not a Doctor? Really? Besides Joe knowingly breaking the law, Joe blows reading a teleprompter like a 2nd grader reading lines from the class play for the first time. "Four More Years Pause" He doesn't even know what he is saying. Yikes!

My response is that Hur violated the sanctity and ethical boundaries of his position. There are certain expectations when you are appointed a Special Counsel. You are supposed to be an impartial, non-partisan arbiter of the justice system. His report read as nothing more than a political hit job. Yeah, yikes, as Trump did the same thing twice last week. Some of us don't care about reading a teleprompter. On the list of overall concerns, it doesn't quite crack my top five. Or 10. Or maybe even 15. Try to catch up.

An overview on what a second Trump term could look like, from policy decisions to cabinet members to the trajectory of the country.
- A near total abortion ban and prosecutions in red states for women who violate the ban.
- Firing a U.S. attorney who fails to prosecute someone at the behest of Trump.
- The largest mass deportation of migrants in history, with military deployments both at the border and inland, along with the opening of detention facilities and the eradication of asylum protocols.
- The withholding of funds appropriated by Congress at Trump's discretion, including foreign aid.
- Ukraine aid would cease to exist, Putin would be allowed to encroach on NATO-aligned countries with no US defense unless countries were "paying their weight."
- Firing advisors not loyal to Trump's decisions and replacing them with loyalists.
- Potential cabinet positions held by JD Vance, Kash Patel, Stephen Miller, Tom Cotton and Vivek Ramaswamy.

It's not Hur's place to even give an opinion on what he believes Biden's health status is. Period. I'm not surprised nuance is lost here, but "partisan quacks" is nowhere near the same level as what I was indicating.

How can anyone watch extended speeches like this and not, at the very least, be concerned? The speech patterns, the gesticulations, the repetitive nature of the inability to form coherent thoughts. 78 in a few months, the same age my grandfather was when he passed away of neurological complications.

Kennedy beats Trump head to head, and Kennedy beats Biden head to head: www.kennedy24.com/biden_real_spoiler_kennedy_only_candidate_who_can_beat_trumpOnly thing preventing Kennedy from winning is people's fear that a vote for him would be a wasted vote because of perceptions that a 3rd party candidate can't win.
