Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupaul and Lachluster get that dog off your Board - You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
-@RealDonaldTrump
Can’t tell if real or parody.
I'm going to say real, with no evidence. It's spiteful enough to pass the sniff test.
Doubt it. "RuPaul" and "Lachluster"are too clever to have emerged from the dishwater-soaked, infected sponge sitting on top of his spinal column where a real human would have a brain.
I love how Trump's ghostwriters try to calibrate to him, and they never are quite able to make themselves dumb enough.
It's the talking in the third person that lets you know it's real
Rust belt, sun belt, Bible belt... USA is so fat, it needs multiple belts!
wikipedia lists 21 here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_belt_regions_of_the_United_States
but some of them are state regions. so they have tiny belts too.
Don't forget the jello belt.
Trump, meanwhile, takes the 1-point lead over Harris in North Carolina, with 48 percent support to her 47 percent.
It's progress, but there's still a ways to go.
AZ Gallego 56%, Lake 41%
Though I like it, I can't believe it.
Take a look at the Governor, AG, and Secretary of State. Arizona is blue. To the eternal dismay of the state legislature that's still got a gerrymandered GOP hangover.
Yeah, but by 15 points?
Yeah. There's more to it, with those two in particular. Kari Lake made a giant ass of herself in the gubernatorial election a couple years ago and then made national headlines dragging it out, lying in hilarious ways the entire time. She was a TV anchor before trying to be governor. Ruben Gallegos is a combat veteran and time tested politician from Arizona's most populous county.
Yes. I know, but 15 points is quite a gap at this stage. IMO, it indicates there is a particular part of the electorate that dislike Lake and will vote against her. In other words, she pissed someone off (if that's a real number)
That's what I'm trying to tell you. She very much did. People did not like her election denialism. Katie Hobbs won the governor's seat in large part because she defended the voting system from Trump in 2020 and because Kari Lake was the local face of Trump's efforts to overturn the election. Now she has that anchor around her neck and her support of the 1864 abortion ban. She's pissed a lot of people off and I wouldn't be surprised if the more moderate Republicans just aren't going to vote at all.
