"Which is to say, himself."

Well, there's always that devilishly handsome guy in his mirror ...

" Why does fmr Pres trump always seem to talk about an America in decline?"

Because everybody he cares about has a hellish future if he loses. Everyone he cares about will be jailed, everyone he cares about will be overrun with legal bills, and EVERYONE he cares about will go bankrupt.

And ... some negative things will happen to folks other than Trump as well.

"Commie Kamala"

What a riot.

Calling someone who has never advocated for collective ownership, or the end of private property a Communist is today's most common ...

... self-own.

It just means you don't understand the words you're using.

"Down ballot Republicants will starve."

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch!

" ~wanted to believe.~"

Turns out it was more "wanted permission to attack the other". NONE of the values offered by Trump are Christian.

Don't believe me? Name 3 commandments he follows.

... just kidding, name 2.

You can't, can you?

He didn't.

But he's hoping the folks who are just supposed to be "calling balls and strikes", remembers the rule:

"Three strikes and YERRRR OUT!"

" It will be interesting to see if the pollsters can keep up with this changing electorate."

They can't. Nor can they properly account for The Dobbs Effect, folks lost on J6, or the huge lead Kamala has with first-time voters.

The KS abortion rights vote, the OH rights vote(s), Alabama's Marilyn Lands, a Democrat, winning a House seat campaigning on ONE issue (guess), and OH06, a +29 red district the Republican won ... but only by single digits.

NONE of them had accurate polls. All underestimated Dem votes by 5-10 points; note OH has been waaaay off, even predicting the first hurdle"needing a supermajority of 60%" wouldn't be met. WRONG!

Whatever the numbers say, I add 3-5 pts to Kamala's tally.

"Popular vote doesn't mean ---- and you know that"

Okay. He lost by a landslide, according to (...checks notes...) Trump's own barometer.
