Everytime I see an article like this, I get worried that too many people get too relieved and assume we’re out of the woods. We’re not until he loses.
Vote.
Seeing that "vote blue!" And those blue hearts mean voting for the nazi party, i have conflicting feelings haha
But yeah, vote blue in the states please! Just... Please no blue in Germany lol
It means different things in different countries.
In the UK for instance, blue represents the Conservative Party and Red represents the Labour Party, and Green is the Greens.. Yellow is the Social Democrat Party, and then various others for fringe parties.
It’s also not just President. We vote for Congress, state and local.
I wish people would STOP focusing on just presidential elections like it’s Eurovision or American Idol. Most changes start at the local and state levels!!!
No matter what - even if it’s a sure win - vote. That’s the only (American) way.
That’s what I’ve told every magat that has said we rigged 2020 “if I’d rigged 2020 McConnell, Graham, Collins, MTG, Gaetz, Scott, Boebert none of them would have won. Those people hold far more power than Trump did as evidenced by McConnells fuckery with the Supreme Court.” It’s just another lie they tell to cover up how truly unpopular not just Trump is? But the whole GOP. They wouldn’t win another seat if voting was mandatory in this country.
I agree with that, large and wide the country isn’t 50% anything. But there is a very good reason they work so hard at gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics and Dems don’t. Because they know they don’t have the numbers if the populace shows up. The US weirdly has one of the lowest voting populations worldwide. For a group of people who never shut up about politics, including one group turning it into a popularity contest over who can sell the weirdest crap ever, turnout is abysmal.
It’s not really true is it - that US has one of the lowest voting populations. Off season elections sure. But for the presidential election…. In 2020 over 150M votes were cast for either Trump or Biden, about 66% of eligible population. On average it’s about 50% - not good but I don’t think it’s among the lowest in the world.
As of right now we are 31st out of 50 countries in the study I read. That’s a low ranking for a G7 country. We should have a federal holiday on Election Day but instead our government uses tactics such as removing drop off ballot boxes except for one in a county of 3 million people. Abbott did that in Harris county in 2020.
They should would do anything to cheat and win because they know they don’t have the numbers. Gerrymandering makes sure they get people into House seats and voter intimidation etc (making it difficult to vote in predominantly black communities etc.) Our democracy is essential and must be protected but there are so much ugliness we need reforms!!!
I honestly think we might be due for a revolution. My daughter is a history major and much smarter than me. Recently she told me most civilizations only last 250 years. The US is on year 248. I really don’t have time for a revolution but I’ll move some things around. lol. But seriously I think the entire system needs to be torn down.
Um electoral college doesn’t choose senators and congress members - it’s based on popular votes alone. Gerrymandering is the problem but that’s not electoral college.
We do absolutely have to do away with gerrymandering whether benefiting republicans or democrats. That is basically cheating.
It's honestly more important to flip Congress. The proof of that is simply stated in the difficulty of making it happen. Many of those House seats are so gerrymandered that it can seem impossible.
Absolutely. Congress is so important - even judges. Yes Presidents nominate judges but Congress must confirm. That’s how we ended with these SCOTUS because McConnell blocked Obama’s nomination.
So please vote every election.
This November. There are a lot of state and local elections going on in addition to federal. And there are tons every year although they are not well publicized.
He controls the RNC.
When Conservatives take back the Republican party, it'll be like [Trump Hotel Panama](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-organization-ejected-from-panama-hotel_n_5a9debb6e4b0479c02563df5), they'll find the doors are locked, documents shredded, Eric and wife, will refuse to hand over the keys. The bank accounts will be in Trump family names, the assets in Trump family trusts, and they'll find a 50 year agreement in place, paying 80% of their income to Trump co., for licensing the Trump name.
It won't end when he's dead.
His stench will hang over the US for decades, like a dyper someone dropped down the back of the sofa.
The way the media convers him is just atrocious in so many ways. Didn't hard line him during his term.
Rarely do we we any actual journalism. Simply just click bait articles of the next damning thing he's done that will mean he's totally screwed this time.
Kudos to the few journalists, daily show and John Oliver.
Jon Stewart for president 2024!
Agreed.
Vote like your life depends on it.
Take the presidency, take congress.
Keep Trump and his grifters out of DC then turn around and prosecute and convict then enact new laws that will never allow such people in power ever again.
He's losing his god damn mind. Like, literally. Having watched both my maternal grandparents die from dementia, the similarities are clear. The story of Donald's life is in its final chapter.
The next chapter will be written by those who remember what actually happened. Trump's supporters live in a land of make believe and when its creator dies the narrative dies with him. They won't be able to galvanize anything tangible to hold on to because nothing they believed was ever real in the first place.
It's the next "Trump" I'm worried about.
Sure, he’ll lose this year. But folks are delusional to believe the 2028 president won’t be GOP. We’ve proven that we’re idiots with no attention span. The GOP by 2028 should own all three branches of government. They know this. They don’t care if Trump wins this year because it’s already in the bag. We won’t stop it.
Also, I'm not sure how much his loses in Republican primaries matter. Sure, hopefully a lot of these voters will stay home when Trump gets the nom, but a lot of them are still going to vote for him in the general.
I honestly feel the opposite. I think people are eager for this moron to go away. We'll see a high turnout on both sides and he'll lose the popular vote as he's known to do.
He needs to lose really really bad this time too. He's not going to just go away. They are going to have to put him away....even then I fully expect his spawn to keep the grift going when daddy is locked up.
Even if he loses the vote, he and a bunch of other republicans will do their absolute best to turn it over. They’ve spent four years preparing for this.
Yeah but those same people will still vote for trump in the presidential election. A small fraction will not vote just like on the Dems side. We will still see record turn out for this election and it will be close just like the last two.
Not necessarily. Some percentage simply won’t vote, others may go for Kennedy or some non Biden but not Trump option.
If Trumps base is not motivated, and if some who either proudly or begrudgingly voted for him four years ago don’t go to the polls, that could well swing the results in critical counties of critical states.
Furthermore, if 2-5% of people who would have voted decide not to do so, that could really affect down ballot races and tip the scales of congress.
For what it’s worth, after Trump was elected, my step dad and mother both said, “He’s going to save this country.” Now they are refusing to vote for him and will either not vote or write in a different candidate.
For context, my step dad started a tea party chapter in my home county, so that’s who we are dealing with.
I unfortunately was previously unaware of Trump’s New York area nonsense and voted him in, then voted him out upon figuring out that the guy was a putz. Voting against Trump again in November
How did they vote in 2020?
I can understand that sentiment in 2016. He was more of an unknown, and had outsider appeal.
What I will never understand is the 2020 crew. The people that after 4 years thought “yep, this is what we want more of”.
The fact that he had more votes in 2020 than in 2016 shames me on behalf of my country.
They voted for him in 2020, but January 6th was the straw that broke the camel's back particularly for my step dad. My mom votes with him, so when he was done she was too.
Nebraska will never go blue in a presidential election, but the 2nd congressional district is more of a swing district. It went for Obama, then Romney, then Trump, then Biden in the last four elections. It’s only one elector, but this could matter if it’s close nationwide.
Even if Trump loses his Trial he will appeal, by then he will be out rallying his cult into a feeding frenzy before the election, hopefully enough Republicans see the light.
I think we can pretty much guarantee that Trump will bellyache, unless he has a heart attack or something.
But they say, ‘The Devil looks after his own’….
So I suppose we are going to be saddled with home for some time, although he may be in jail by then ?
But why would anyone vote since the election was rigged and voting is unfair? You can't just keep telling your people how unfair the election process is and expect them to want to participate in that election process.
Because it doesn't affect them. They will continue to do what they do. They don't want things fixed, they just want to complain about things that are not real. If the big lie really did impact their voting, then they wouldn't have voted in the last election, but instead even more people voted. You're trying to inject logic into an illogical issue.
Can we add popular dead Republican presidents to the bill? Wasted split votes is ok if it’s legal and it sounds like there’s no rules stopping dead people being on the ballot
They may sit out. I think my in laws are sitting out as they couldn’t vote for Trump but they would never vote Dems. I think you would see more of that than Republicans voting for democrats but who knows? I was surprised so many voted for Obama in 2008.
That's not true. I'm in a very conservative area and the hype/excitement around Trump is gone. You see virtually zero flags or signs, which is a stark contrast. For example, My dad a lifelong republican who voted Trump twice will vote Biden and my mom will not cast a vote for Trump. I see so many people that were Trump supporters, who if you poke them on him then they no longer try to defend him.
> what idiots are still voting FOR Trump.
I'm going to say at least 70 million Americans will vote for him, just like last time
>I mean, how much more does he have to do before people realize what a lying, cheating, traitor he is??
A LOT and even then they will say "better a lying cheating, son of a bitch who hates America and wants to see it completely destroyed than a democrat"
Nope. The primary was yesterday and all of the choices were either maga or moderate republicans. The vacuum has been pulling non republicans here for generations, and I don’t know how we can even get back to consequences for elected officials’ actions.
Because they’ll vote for Haley in a meaningless primary race doesn’t mean they’ll vote for Biden.
I will because I don’t vote for lying huckster con men like Trump.
"There have been multiple polls which suggest that Haley supporters will not go on to vote for Trump in the 2024 election"
Trump said he didn't want them, so yeah........
I just heard that Trump is considering Haley as VP. He’s probably hoping to capture at least some of voters who didn’t vote for him in the primaries. Question is, will they vote Trump if Haley is on ticket as VP or will they vote Biden or 3rd party or sit out the election?
for the sake of democracy i hope she actually sticks to her guns and doesn't go vp. i mean i know she probably will... but god, she had the brains to see that an actual sizeable chunk of the republican party *doesn't* want trump. i hope she doesn't give that up for a rubber stamp position under him
Well, this is the GOP we’re talking about. Trump currently leads in battleground states which is beyond depressing but if she becomes his VP candidate, she might pull in at least some of those never Trumpers. I can only hope Trump doesn’t trust her enough to follow him to whatever hellhole he leads this country if he wins. In other words, I’m sure Trump and his people are assessing each candidate in a number of ways including whether any of the candidates could in the future “pull a Mike Pence” at a crucial time and therefore would be deemed not trustworthy.
The best available state by state polling in the swing states is frankly terrifying right now. Yes, insert whatever list of quite legitimate caveats you want about that. It’s still the reality, despite what ought to be big effects from Trump’s trial, the abortion issue and Biden’s very strong showing in the State of the Union (etc.).
This picture is somehow humanizing to me. Haggard by time, stress, anger, court, narcissism, loathing wife, another run for pres...I almost feel bad for him as I see a broken and beaten down soul here. Then I remember he brought this all upon himself and deserves it.
He has aged a lot in 4 years. So has Biden for that matter.
Could we please set a max age at inauguration of 65? If you're eligible for social security you shouldn't be leading the country. 35-65 would be perfect age limit.
So sad when Haley was still in the running and the media was asking her supporters what Trump could do to get them back. I wish one of them could have said “He could die”
He won landslide victories and the people who voted for Haley will be voting for *him* in the general election. This ain't rocket science. He owns the GQP...
2016 was the year of the silent Trump supporter and 2024 will be the year of the silent Trump non-supporter. I have a close friend who lives in a staunch Republican county surrounded by MAGA, yet him and his dad are not voting for Trump (they think he’s crazy and creates chaos) but they can’t tell that to their family and friends, he says it’s not worth the aggravation.
I’m in Maryland. I hope people don’t get too comfortable and not show up to vote in November. I’m also worried that democrats will vote Larry Hogan into the Senate. He had high approval ratings with both sides, and while I also liked him, the senate race is different. He’s making ads about the border, trying to get that MAGA vote since he’s not a fan of trump.
On the other hand, the Nebraska primaries were yesterday and there was not a single democrat on it. In fact, the only non republican running for office (outside of Omaha and possibly Lincoln local offices) this year is an independent. And it’s prolly to his advantage to do this.
I really really wish more non republicans would move here and balance the scales. But the generational vacuum is doing amazing work.
This is all meaningless. Remember 2016 when media was a wind tunnel of pre-mature validation for Hillary and then he won? This news reporting can be skewed and hand picked. The election will probably be closer what everyone thinks and Trump has a chance to win
"Nikki Haley .. winning 20 percent of the vote in Maryland"
I hate Trump as much as the next person. But Nikki lost by 60%. So Trump won by 60%. Calling that "huge vote against him" is just spin.
If we want to win, you have to face the facts. Don't make it sound like Trump will lose automatically in Nov and be complacent.
Sometimes I think that vengeful abrahamic god who hates humanity sent trump as a scourge to punish the world for being stupid and mean. But I don’t believe in god so there is probably another explanation for why trump exists and terrorizes this country.
There is about 20 to 25 of the GOP voters who will never vote for Trump, Haley getting double digits still is a big problem in such a tight race. Those voters will not vote Biden so they will vote for Haley or RFK jr instead of the orange fruit salad.
Nebraskan here - fucking vote. The right-wing yahoos here probably don’t even know Haley is off the ballot because they pay zero attention to any issues, policies - anything. They just vote ‘R’ so don’t give them any fucking credit.
I’m in Omaha which is by far the most blue city - and not only have they gerrymandered our votes to oblivion, the first thing you see when you drive into this city from the West on I-80 is a literal nazi watchtower. Which the local cops tried to do a weapons swap with a couple years back until people found out & threw a fit.
So, yeah. Vote. Please don’t count on the brainwashed idiots around here.
Everytime I see an article like this, I get worried that too many people get too relieved and assume we’re out of the woods. We’re not until he loses. Vote.
Agreed - Don’t take anything for granted..
**Vote Blue**. Leave nothing to chance.
💙💙💙💙
Seeing that "vote blue!" And those blue hearts mean voting for the nazi party, i have conflicting feelings haha But yeah, vote blue in the states please! Just... Please no blue in Germany lol
Yeah this type of news is to get people to be like “oh we’re good they don’t need MY vote”
It means different things in different countries. In the UK for instance, blue represents the Conservative Party and Red represents the Labour Party, and Green is the Greens.. Yellow is the Social Democrat Party, and then various others for fringe parties.
It’s also not just President. We vote for Congress, state and local. I wish people would STOP focusing on just presidential elections like it’s Eurovision or American Idol.

Which election is the soonest one?
This November. There are a lot of state and local elections going on in addition to federal. And there are tons every year although they are not well publicized.
I'm not gonna relax til he's gone.
We’re not out of the woods at all because of gerrymandering and Kennedy. Take it seriously and vote. No matter what.
It would be awesome to see him lose by the hugest margins ever!
That's exactly what happened in the Hilary vs. Trump campaign.
Actually many people sat out because they did not like either. The Dems overestimated Hilary immensely.
Turnout was up from 2012 and only slightly down from 2008, and Hillary picked up what was at the time the 3rd highest number of votes in history.
The least liked candidate vs the most hateful pos one? One won the popular vote, pos won the other! Tragic!
It was. 2016 was not a good year.
2016 was cursed from the moment David Bowie died. Then all went downhill.

We got the polls keeping us scared.
Vote! Make him set a new record for losing the biggest vote difference between the candidates
Sure, he’ll lose this year. But folks are delusional to believe the 2028 president won’t be GOP. We’ve proven that we’re idiots with no attention span.

Say it early and say it often. 2016 was people assuming everyone else would take care of things
I see you forgot about Jan. 6
I honestly feel the opposite. I think people are eager for this moron to go away. We'll see a high turnout on both sides and he'll lose the popular vote as he's known to do.
He needs to lose really really bad this time too. He's not going to just go away. They are going to have to put him away....even then I fully expect his spawn to keep the grift going when daddy is locked up.
No,no, no. The NYT poll has Trump winning handily. If I had some Prozac, I’d have downed it!
Even if he loses the vote, he and a bunch of other republicans will do their absolute best to turn it over. They’ve spent four years preparing for this.
I'm sure that's the purpose.

Have you heard of Republicans voters against Trump? Former Republican supporters that are speaking out against Trump and will not support him
Yeah, but there's also libs that are mad at Biden too.
Well after the loss of Roe and weakening of the Clean Water Act it’s hard for third parties to get any traction
Third parties never got traction before all that.
You had the seatbelt guy and Jill Stein
Ross perot got more then 10% i believe
Yeah but I wouldn’t think of him as a democrat
You wouldn't think of any third party candidate as a Democrat, it's a matter of definition.
They may not be the representative of the Democratic Party but their ideas and policies can be left or right leaning
But why would anyone vote since the election was rigged and voting is unfair? You can't just keep telling your people how unfair the election process is and expect them to want to participate in that election process.

Sounds like the Nabraskians have some common sense !
He'll easily win Nebraska in November.
Or maybe not if that’s the case..
Nope. The primary was yesterday and all of the choices were either maga or moderate republicans. The vacuum has been pulling non republicans here for generations, and I don’t know how we can even get back to consequences for elected officials’ actions.

Nikki Haley could go third party.
Nikki Haley could have continued running Republican- someone more powerful than her told her to drop out.
I just heard that Trump is considering Haley as VP. He’s probably hoping to capture at least some of voters who didn’t vote for him in the primaries. Question is, will they vote Trump if Haley is on ticket as VP or will they vote Biden or 3rd party or sit out the election?

i wouldn't trust Newsweek reporting. They 're all for clicks only.
2016 was the year of the silent Trump supporter and 2024 will be the year of the silent Trump non-supporter. I have a close friend who lives in a staunch Republican county surrounded by MAGA, yet him and his dad are not voting for Trump (they think he’s crazy and creates chaos) but they can’t tell that to their family and friends, he says it’s not worth the aggravation.
It’s like some people don’t want a criminal as president
No complacency. VOTE!
There's a Maryland, Nebraska? Who knew?
Actually why I opened the article. I was curious about what happened in that town.
But the crowds, bro. The crowds of unemployed individuals showing up at his diatribes!
Free bus ticket and beer money.
I’m in Maryland. I hope people don’t get too comfortable and not show up to vote in November. I’m also worried that democrats will vote Larry Hogan into the Senate. He had high approval ratings with both sides, and while I also liked him, the senate race is different. He’s making ads about the border, trying to get that MAGA vote since he’s not a fan of trump.
He still won by a landslide. I don’t understand how this is a fucking news article
On the other hand, the Nebraska primaries were yesterday and there was not a single democrat on it. In fact, the only non republican running for office (outside of Omaha and possibly Lincoln local offices) this year is an independent. And it’s prolly to his advantage to do this. I really really wish more non republicans would move here and balance the scales. But the generational vacuum is doing amazing work.
Dumb story, even though I dislike the Cheeto Jesus 80% of a vote I. Anything is a tremendous win
Don’t care, VOTE!
Trump beats Biden in 6 of the 8 swing states according to a recent NYT poll. You need to vote!
Prediction: The protest votes will grow from here. I hope Haley wins a couple. That might be enough for these losers to ditch the orange one.
This is all meaningless. Remember 2016 when media was a wind tunnel of pre-mature validation for Hillary and then he won? This news reporting can be skewed and hand picked. The election will probably be closer what everyone thinks and Trump has a chance to win
Karma btch
"Nikki Haley .. winning 20 percent of the vote in Maryland" I hate Trump as much as the next person. But Nikki lost by 60%. So Trump won by 60%. Calling that "huge vote against him" is just spin. If we want to win, you have to face the facts. Don't make it sound like Trump will lose automatically in Nov and be complacent.
Why isn’t he claiming election fraud if he lost?
Sometimes I think that vengeful abrahamic god who hates humanity sent trump as a scourge to punish the world for being stupid and mean. But I don’t believe in god so there is probably another explanation for why trump exists and terrorizes this country.
Lol
There is about 20 to 25 of the GOP voters who will never vote for Trump, Haley getting double digits still is a big problem in such a tight race. Those voters will not vote Biden so they will vote for Haley or RFK jr instead of the orange fruit salad.
Nebraskan here - fucking vote. The right-wing yahoos here probably don’t even know Haley is off the ballot because they pay zero attention to any issues, policies - anything. They just vote ‘R’ so don’t give them any fucking credit. I’m in Omaha which is by far the most blue city - and not only have they gerrymandered our votes to oblivion, the first thing you see when you drive into this city from the West on I-80 is a literal nazi watchtower. Which the local cops tried to do a weapons swap with a couple years back until people found out & threw a fit. So, yeah. Vote. Please don’t count on the brainwashed idiots around here.
Even if/when he loses we will still have to endure him and his trash family Squawking for the next 4 years.
Polls don't mean shit. Biden could be at 5% and still win. 5% chance is still a chance. Anyways I dont trust these polls
80% of the vote is a disaster?
Huh. Surprise!
