"announced on WMAY radio in Springfield"

Radio?

I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but wouldn't a local TV station have more impact? You know, sort of like eyeball to eyeball?

I have no doubts about Edgar's sincerity. I have suspicions about using AI voice simulations on radio. AI has forced me now to prefer the old fashioned eye-to-eye delivery of comments from politicians, past or present.

Anyone other than brain dead magats saw the insurrection and the stolen documents and made the assessment that a rapist failed game show host is 100000% not fit for the office.

Will this sway the magats? Nope they are a lost cause.

It will sway independents.

It's no longer a question of if he has the moral character to serve. It is now a question of whether moral character matters to the people pulling the lever.

Which may not matter either if Trump is successful at coercing/threatening/intimidating State Election officials in swing states to refuse to certify a Harris win. Trump has had a team working on this strategy since 2022 after the failure of the fake electors scheme.

BTW, NIXON

Trump is also planning on flooding the election with thousands of challenges to ballots. Most counting room only have two or three people to investigate challenges, yay or nay. Trump's plan is to force a delay in election results for weeks or months.

He tried it in Fulton County, Georgia in 2020 but got foiled because most of the challenges were from the same source ~ so they were all dismissed as a scam.
