Of course there were much worse photos out there for all to see, but the Dem leaning internet giants have done their best to censor them. So I haven't them to hand sorry. Of course the likes of Nick Clegg wouldn't have been so busy banning the same were it one of Trump's sons.

So it is just hearsay then?

Oh, Of course that "Dem loving Internet" being all nasty and hiding it. I thought Trump had this "Truth Platform" that would be able to by pass the Lefty Internet?

It's very interesting looking at polling in the US currently. Yes, Biden is wildly unpopular (Dems would do well to shuffle him on in favour of another candidate in 2024), but so is Trump. He's less popular now than he was in 2020. In fact, he is twice as unpopular with Republicans as he was then, and a majority don't want him as the candidate in 2024. Midterm polls are now showing as neck and neck, when Republicans had a big lead earlier in the year.

Abortion and gun violence are seen as the big issues, both of which play into Democrat hands.

Both parties need a younger, More dynamic candidate for 2024, Ms Harris is not the answer for the Dems, I don't think she has come across well during this administration so far, As for the GOP, Those at the top of the party are just ageing dinosaurs who are not good enough to run the USA in the 21st Century and should be put out to pasture.

Incidentally if you want a "real" example of this, there was a special election in Minnesota this week after the death of the Republican congressman. The Republicans still won, but by only 4%. Trump won that district by 10% in 2020.

There was a similar result in Nebraska in June, where the Democrats lost a strongly Republican district by the smallest margin since at least 2004.

If the expected red wave is to happen, the Republicans need to do a lot better.

Just because you know nothing about the subject doesn't mean they don't exist.

Please enlighten us with the cornucopia of names.

Please enlighten us with the cornucopia of names.

Off the top of my head: Pete Buttigieg, Beto O' Rourke, Amy Klobuchar, Gavin Newsom, Roy Cooper maybe.

The Trump cult claims another victim - happily just the cultist himself:

Does Jinxy accept that Trump may have gone (and keeps on going) just a little too far in 'stirring up' his intellectually challenged base with his brand of demagoguery?
