At the earliest? Sometime between October '24 and June/July '25. In other words, during the next SCOTUS term.
The classified documents case against Trump was dismissed by Judge Cannon. How long before he gets a court to overturn his convictions due to immunity?
Yea, it is more than just Biden. The Dems are terrible at messaging overall. They are too caught up in identity politics and have lost touch with the hard working middle class. It is all tied together though; part of the messaging problem is that Biden is too old to counter the Rep attack, and has never been an inspiring speaker.Part of it is the biased media which has been fucking over the Dems, so we need to take that into account, but still, overall, just bad at certain fundamental things
It's always odd that people say the Democrats are too caught up in identity politics when Republicans are the true party of identity politics. Republicans run on identity politics all day, every day, in every race while Democrats rarely mention it at all.Yea, it is more than just Biden. The Dems are terrible at messaging overall.

I don't understand this case from the beginning. Is there no way that the prosecution could have avoided having a judge presiding over the case who was appointed by Trump? It is an obviously glaring conflict of interest. This probably will not change much legally, as the case was never going to come to trial before the election anyway, but it will give Trump another boost in the polls perhaps.The classified documents case against Trump was dismissed by Judge Cannon.

Of course they do, but somehow the Reps seem to be able to turn it to their advantage, while the Dems dont.lmao the Republicans, and Trump especially, traffic in almost nothing but identity politics
Case had to be brought up in southern district of Florida. If done in DC, they’d argue venue. But the southern district is handled by 3 judges. So her being appointed was high.I don't understand this case from the beginning.

I was talking about the documents case. It may not change much, but it, and the assassination attempt will reinforce his "I am the victim, the evil Dems are out to get me." rhetoric. Dont know how much it will affect independents, but it certainly will help rile up the base.Doubt it. A convention bump is likely but that's expected and will make it hard to disentangle any effect from the attempt on his life (if any).

Are you refusing to acknowledge that Biden is 4 years older and has clearly deteriorated? That he has to try to refute attacks on inflation, the border and being involved in 2 serious global conflicts.Are we simply refusing to remember the 2018, 2020, and 2022 elections?

It is odd to condemn the political instincts of the party that has gotten the most votes for president every time but once for the last 35 years.You mean the reality that I have repeatedly acknowledged in this very thread?
The charge was that Democrats can never find political advantage that produces electoral results. Something I think is fairly incorrect.
I keep hearing a lot of talk that Harris would collapse in PA compared to Biden in 20 but still not seeing much in the way of evidence for that assertion.
I think there's a segment of the population that is fine voting for Biden because he's white and from Scranton. The "Pennsyl-tucky" parts of the state (includes Scranton) is very very very ... backwards. Just saying.
If you can pick up a huge scoop of the Indies who are unhappy with the current options then they would not matter.
True, but I think both of those segments are ones that Biden already had in '20 (at least from what I recall). It was a big difference between that and '16 where Hillary did awful outside of Pit/Phi. He'd have to run even bigger margins in those two, and if you believe any of the polling that's probably not likely as minority #s are worse than '20.
To say I am intensely skeptical of polling that shows Trump's share of the African American vote headed towards 25% this cycle you would be correct.
It's not odd at all. You can keep crying the system is unfair, which is true, but in the meantime, that is the playing field you are given. To not also say that is the crying part. Any competent party would adjust to the actual rules on the playing field and win more, rather than simply making excuses for 35 years of not adjusting. It's been very clear the Dems have not done that.It is odd to condemn the political instincts of the party that has gotten the most votes for president every time but once for the last 35 years.
Republicans have institutional advantages that let them hold the presidency despite their unpopularity but that's a separate issue.
Which is why Harris atop the ticket worries for me PA. At least, without Shapiro as VP ...
Of course they do, but somehow the Reps seem to be able to turn it to their advantage, while the Dems dont.
And for the keep Biden side of the argument if you buy that Trump's polling lead is a result of real outsized or possibly phantom support from pools of infrequent voters that typically favor Dems. Again a reverse 2016 essentially as I mentioned.
