I admit I do love it when Trump gets trolled.

If he only needed his supporters to win, he would have won in 2020. I have no idea why people aren’t aware of that now.
People voted against however things were because of the pandemic. Trump was in charge, so he caught the general dissatfication with everything.
Now the sting of inflation last year likely has a lot of those same people again upset at how things are and vote for change again, whoever it will be.
Also, 2020 was the most accessible election in history, with so much flexibility for remote voting and so many people not stuck at work unable to find time to vote. The gop has been changing that, locking down absentee voting more, successfully getting voting id laws passed, and reducing early voting sites and hours. People are too busy working at their workplace again, and access to voting is reduced.
Ok? He still needs more than just his supporters to win. If you think his win is inevitable and people shouldn’t bother voting, just say so. Otherwise, what is your point?
You do understand the election is a toss-up, don’t you?
Yes? Because many of those people are willing to vote for him because they always vote Republican, not because they like him. And they’re being shaved off bit by bit. Pointing and laughing has been a help. The whole “weird” thing is infuriating them.
He needs more than his supporters to win, the election is a toss-up, and his supporters are dumping him.
…are you going to tell me he’s shifting left, because that would be ludicrous, but seems to be the only way to draw a coherent thread out of what you’re saying?
No? I’m telling you that he can’t win with just his supporters. Are you suggesting he’s definitely going to win and no one should bother voting for Harris? What is the point of this discussion if you aren’t?
Let’s see…
Guess not.
I understand you said he can’t win with just his supporters - you also said he’s losing those supporters. Putting aside the fact that people voting for him are definitionally supporters, you understand that those 2 statements clearly imply that there’s no need to vote for Harris, right?
My point is that you’re all over the place with your talking points - there doesn’t seem to be any way to thread them together.
I did not say he was losing supporters.
This is what I said:
I have no idea why you’re lying when the comment chain is right there.
Who is the “they” if not people that would vote for Trump, and what do you mean by “shaved off” if you don’t mean they won’t be voting for him?
This is the third time. What part of this is unclear to you?
Those are not his supporters. There’s a difference between voting for someone and supporting them. I didn’t support either Clinton or Biden. I voted for them because they weren’t Trump.
