First Kamala ad launched. Pretty good. Amazing how the whole dynamic of the race has changed in a couple of days with democrats charged up now.

It’ll go down to the wire but Trumps best chance was vs Biden

Philadelphia is definitely more The Wire from what I saw of it.

Fellas think its a national election based on the national vote. It cones down to Ohio and Pennsylvannia. The assassination attempt was near Pittsburg which will swing trumps way. The east of the state will be interesting, philadelphia is like a scene from the walking dead due to drugs and high crime. Everything in between is pure redneck country.

I was in Philadelphia last year. I thought it was a lovely city. Walked the centre from end to end looking for the Duke Brothers building from Trading Places which I eventually found.

It also has the Liberty Bell and the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the place where Rocky ran up the steps (I shuffled). I’d recommend it for an overnight visit. I felt perfectly safe there. Like any city in the world if you go off piste you’ll get a different experience though.

I was also in western Pennsylvania. Very rural. You’d see Amish fellas riding around in horses and carts.

I’ve been there six or seven times. Absolutely love it

The centre feels lovely and then, a short walk anyway, you’re on the set of the Wire

Dublin city centre feels like the set of the Wire

Simon Harris is Carcetti?

The Dems have played this wonderfully. Left Joe in just long enough to draw Trump out where they wanted him and then did the bait and switch with Kamala.

Incredibly good politicking.

You replied to a real simpleton there pal.

He once spread rumours of a fake doctor below in UL.

What are the odds on Trump dropping Vance ?

What are the odds on Trump dropping Vance ?

Very high would be my guess.

Dems are digging a lot of shit on him. Not so much scandal, more so his extremely conservative views on abortion and now ivf. Considering it’s going to come down to 5 or 6 swing states and not the “popular vote “ , I think he might let him go

[Julio_Geordio]

My understanding is that Vance is on the ticket because of Israeli/Jewish money backing for Trump. Might be hard to shake him off.

Is there any precedent for it I wonder. Dropping your VP?

Although there isn’t much precedent for Biden dropping out either I don’t think

[iron_mike]

Yeah but at the end of the day, Trump only gives a fuck about Trump. When you consider that the RNC has just wrapped up and the only one to get a bounce out of it is Harris, it’s a curve ball that the republicans didn’t see coming. I give it a month/6weeks and if the polls keep going the way they are, don’t be surprised if Vance is replaced.

He’s a tool of Thiel/Musk and the crypto cult. The crowd who want to burn the world down.

Musk isn’t committing all this money to Trump for nothing.

Vance won’t go quietly. Harris should try and turn trump v Vance against each other.

There’s a debate pencilled in for in or around September 10th. That’ll decide a lot. Don’t be surprised if Trump turns to Nikki Haley depending on how that goes

A September 11th disintegration for Trump/Vance?

Did they not vet the guy enough or dig into his background and interview him before announcing him?

Happened in 1972, George McGovern (D) dropped Thomas Eagleton after it transpired he failed to declare he had electro shock treatment.

[Batigol]

Proper election now. Trump beating up on the dusty remains of Biden would be boring.

I’m tipping Kamala
