Trump's speech was boring and too long by half. He should have started with "I'm still standing" and kept up the pace from there. At the end, after commemorating Corey Comperatore, he could have said once again that he's still standing and will continue to stand to Make America Great Again!

They should go to Delaware on Saturday, congratulate Joe Biden on two successful terms in office...

LOL, I have thought for awhile they could replace him, add white columns to his home and tell him he is president. It would be like a SNL skit.

It is beyond me Erick would trust any Democrat to tell the truth.

I have noticed over the past couple years of reading comments on conservative social media that the extreme vilification of Joe Biden's person even more so than the progressive policies he puts into action mean that MAGAites who bow mindlessly to their leader have no comprehension of what is happening in the Democratic presidential campaign despite having it explained clearly to them by Erick. And especially do not understand the Democratic mindset where the ideas, policies and actions of the Party are more important even than its current leader. And to implement those policies one must win elections.

Lyndon Johnson decided not to run for re election so he could devote all his time to ending the Vietnam War. At least he wasn’t senile and could make decisions.

Who answers the phone at the White House at 3 am when there is a crisis? Dr. Jill? (Thank you Hillary for that political commercial).

I think that Harris might be dyslexic and her thoughts leave her mouth as a word salad. Some of what she says makes sense if you change the word order.

Johnson quit because he knew RFK would beat him like a drum.

No one answers the White House phone at 3am because it's turned off.

If you play Harris's words backwards, they say "Paul is dead."

Everyone knew that he would be defeated so the war was the excuse for him not to run. RFK vs. Nixon in 1968 would have been an interesting race.

L.G.B.T.Q. actually is a current Democrat code: "Let's Get Biden To Quit." I borrowed this from someone, probably Erick. It all runs together these days.

I don't think the Dems really realize how much their integrity has plummeted over the past couple months. What else have they lied to us about?

Biden probably has a list of Bidens he wants pardoned by the player to be named later--himself, Dr. Jill, Hunter, and so on. That may be the sticking point. He might also want a safe place to land for his very loyal and in some cases long-serving staff. Much of his staff might not be able to find jobs after Biden is out of office--too old, not radical enough, tired blood, too expensive, etc.

Trump could really mess with the Dems by offering to pardon all of them on day one. It would make him look magnanimous and draw an unflattering comparison with the Dem lawfare. It would also relieve the Dems of the burden of looking self-dealing if a Dem POTUS did it.

Joe Bide will not make the decision. The decision was made when his handlers made the decision to allow Joe to go onto that debate stage and give full credence as to what and how his mental and physical capacities are functioning and mission accomplished. I thought that they would never allow JB to do so. Like DT had nothing to gain in the Repubs debates nd did not participate. The big man Schumer has spoken. I have stated for two years, Biden will not be Nov 2024 candidate. The Dems blue it when the did not get Kam to resign and be appointed Senator (again) after Diane died. They could have slid in their most favorite as VP and That VP become the 2024 candidate. Now in August there will be South Border entered terrorists attacks and the Dem Convention will bring more chaos. Dems Run Kam That is going to be a loser. PS Expect more assassination attempts. They already have their Lee Oswald picked out.

Your one sentence on Trump’s speech speaks volumes. It was a good speech for about 25 minutes then it became a rally speech. That’s great for that room (although too long) but it was horrible for the TV audience many of whom are looking for signs of a changed man.

We didn’t see it. It’s the same ‘ole Trump. After 4 days of a well-organized, disciplined convention, trying to convince us that Trump is a changed man, Trump’s speech showed us he really is not.

The only thing new coming out of the convention was the nomination of JD Vance, a Buchananite without the anti-Semitism. We now know the future of this party.

Everyone has an opinion and your opinion that you know where the future of the Party is and will be, is just that. Same ole DT? You just don';t get it. Did someone have a gun at your head and force you to watch?

Expand full comment

Nope. I thought it my civic duty to watch. This guy may be president in 6 months.

And yep, just my opinion just like everyone else around here.

Tick Tick Tick – time is almost up.

It’s shocking to me that we are this far into this campaign cycle and the Dems are telling us THEY still don’t know who their candidate is. It depends on the success of yet another coup attempt. And make no mistake, history will not be kind to our collective political parties. Historians, 20 years from now, will write about the dozen times over the last 9 years the Dems teamed up with compliant media companies to try to symbolically, figuratively, lawfarely(a made up word just like WOKE), and now actually assassinate President Trump.

They are now out of time if they plan to seize the airwaves. In one week’s time the Olympics start and the world will move on to national competitions. Noting their relentless use of the airwaves to hurl insults, and now to hurl actual bullets at one of the world’s most iconic figures, I truly have no idea how this election will end up. I do not believe these Dem insurrectionists are done with their campaign of destruction.

In the face of a left-wing fascist government who every day calls me MAGA with hatred in their eyes, I say #MakeAmericaUnitedAgain.

Where’s my checkbook….. I need to send President Trump more money for the home stretch.

Democrats propped up a puppet four years ago from his basement, an emperor who we know was not wearing any clothes, and so they deserve to lose everything in 2024. Biden should stay in the race to teach them a historical lesson, to never scam the American people this way ever again. I truly hope he stays in and loses.

The problem is, no matter who wins, "it was a stollen election."

The Democrats have been seeding mistrust since 2000, and Trump hammered in the last nail in 2020.

Impeachment too has been debased by Democrats so look for that to be a quadrilateral event if the House is not controlled by the President's Party. Not just introducing Articles of Impeachment like the Democrats have done to every Republican since Reagan, but actually passing them.

Good to know Joe and Mika are just mouth pieces for The Democrats and you can’t believe a word they say I feel better now Erick

If he could have just stuck with the written speech and kept his somber reflective attitude it would have been considered an iconic historical speech. But, he can’t help himself. Once he started going off script he lost the moment and became the same old vindictive Trump. A great opportunity lost.

Ya think Biden/Haris/whoever is not going to demonize Trump at the DNC? As Erick said, "the Dems don't have anyone you vote for, only someone to run against."

Expand full comment

Agreed, though it seemed like he knew he got off track a few times and tried to get back on. He gave the left enough red meat (they don’t need much).

I think Biden has a sympathy component to his polling. Yes the man is old and has dementia but the country hasn’t fallen apart completely and Dems are going with what they know. However, Kamala is just flat out stupid and doesn’t have the age component to explain away her intolerable, incoherent ramblings. As someone who still hasn’t decided what I’m doing come Nov. If the Dems choose her, it will become binary for me, just as in 2016.

This morning in the chaos of the hack, I turned on the tv. I had switched back and forth in all three networks and morning Joe was on. Mika was reading from a paper saying all these things President Trump did not say. I watched the speech last evening and he did not say the things she said he did. Trump is right. He is going to win anyway. We knew that Biden was in decline. Have known it for 3 years.
