Georgia is 47% non-white state, which Biden won by 12k votes out of nearly 5 million total votes. Even a small drop in non-white support can tilt the state to Trump. Also Republicans won the gubernatorial election in there with a wide margin (I know they lost the senate but Walker was an awful candidate)

I still think Trump and the Republicans will lose this. He’s an awful choice and the only person they wanted less than him in the White House was Biden, who’s now gone.
He doesn't have an idea of what his actual policy would be, which is always bad.

And he seems to fuck up at every crossroads this campaign. Do you even remember he was almost assassinated? That sounds so distant now. And he's almost embarrassed to bring it up, because right after he said part of his ear was blown off but we're now two weeks on and there is no visible injury whatsoever.

Apart from his undeniably weak speeches I think it's just that he has outlived his welcome. Again, there is a whole generation of voters right up until 28 years of age that have heard nothing but Trump the last decade. Usually him responding to some sort of scandal. If Berlusca falls, so will Trump.

USA has the same situation as in my country, two major candidates are total shit and you just have to choose the lesser evil or don't vote at all.
You could have said that when Biden was running. Now it’s a no brainer really. Even if Kamala Harris is a weak candidate, she’s head and shoulders above Trump. Unless of course you are voting for your team and not the candidate.

Kamala Harris might have her flaws, but this past week she showed she can be aggressive.

Beneath it all Trump is the archetypical narcissist, he's a coward. He's in real difficulty with an opponent that isn't scared of showing aggression.

lol can’t he just not say the quiet part out loud?
Personal observation: in a neighborhood pool party a woman who is very apolitical (never spoken a word about politics, put up a yard sign, etc.) was talking about how Rs want to limit access to IVF, and how it’s personal to her because she couldn’t have a child without IVF. I think Trump and Vance underestimate how much people are spooked by this Christian right crap.

Yeah, I think reproduction rights (including the right not to reproduce) are probably what's going to cost them in the end.

For a party that is supposed to be about liberty, they sure want a lot of power on people's bodies.

This is all part of that project 2025 that Trump keeps denying he has any knowledge of when he clearly approves and will activate if he wins. He will have powers to throw away ballots in order to rig elections, and nobody can say or do anything about it as the law will protect him from any wrong doing thanks to the supreme court's unconstitutional decision to grant Presidential immunity.

I still question how much the Christian right is self-aware of how much Trump pulls a distracted boyfriend meme with them. Every one of his alignments is really about what's convenient at the time. (Coming from a former Democrat and required Kamala donor.) He'd drop them in a heartbeat if it were convenient.

It’s a perfect marriage/hostage situation though: no Republican can win without Christian right and Christian right can’t force God onto the nation without republicans.

Until it's not.

Ironically he is now hurt by portraying himself as something he's not to gain votes.

He might lose the election on abortion. And he cares fuck all about it lol.

How so? The last few elections even popular vote stat share have been within 3%.
instead of worrying about the base in friendly states or fight for electoral votes in places like Georgia and Arizona, politicians would have to speak to a wider demographic. I also think you’d see and uptick in voter participation, especially liberal folks living in red states and conservatives living in blue states since a national popular vote means everyone’s votes count.
