How Trump could possibly lose the 2024 election

Post Reply New Topic

Trump has gotten a lot of bad press lately, but it doesn't seem to have affected his polling numbers, which still show he will likely win.

However, I also get the impression that Trump's supporters are far less enthusiastic than they were 4 years ago, apart from his die-hard "base". For example, I can recall driving through Southern Delaware 4 years ago and seeing how every house having a flagpole had replaced the Stars and Stripes with a Trump flag. This year, not so much. Elsewhere, I see a lot less overt support for Trump. I have seen no lawn signs in my overwhelmingly white neighborhood, whereas I've even seen 1 or 2 Harris signs. I saw voters being interviewed at a state fair on TV. All white people said they'd vote for Trump, but most seemed to be settling for him given the only other major candidate is Harris. They don't admire him in the least. Christians admit he's not a Christian, but at least he's not Harris. I don't think you would have seen that in 2020.

Consider that polls in 2016 showed that Hillary would win. But respondents indicating a preference for Hillary had no real enthusiasm for her. Believe it or not, some voters are actually enthusiastic about Harris, especially some women. Hillary didn't have enthusiasm from anyone.

So I can see a chance Trump could win, despite poll results.

I have the impression that people still talk about supporting Trump only because they want to "save face" and not come across as traitors to his cause.

This from speaking face-to-face with Trump supporters . . . who seem to speak less loudly, less often, and with less enthusiasm than before about their "Hero".

In 2016, Russia helped Trump.

Domestically, it was mostly the "wimmin shouldnt oughta be president" crowd. If Hillary Clinton had won, "lock her up" would have been replaced with "get in the kitchen and make me a sammich".

I feel most people forget what a hot-button issue abortion is; it is a personal freedom issue and a whiny, feeble old man wants to take that right away. I also feel people are getting fed up with a rich man who thinks he is above the law and it appears the only reason he is running is to avoid jail time because deep down he knows he's not. I feel most people would love to see his comeuppance. I predict the Democrats will win in a landslide

I think the orange man will win because his thousands if not millions of worshippers see him as more of a god than ever now because he survived attempted assassination, and because they totally believe the filthy racist lies he made about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating other people's cats and dogs.

I just saw some really racist cartoons of the orange man's lie about immigrants eating cats and dogs and it's stupid and disgusting. Why are humans this way???

I even saw toy rubber ducks for sale on Amazon that resemble the orange man with his ear bleeding.

I have seen him lose debates before, but I have never seen him nearly as bad as he was against Harris. It was a total train wreck. Lunatical ranting about immigrants eating pet dogs and cats, really!? To me it looked like Harris knocked him out of the ring. I find it hard to believe that he could win the election after that.

As predicted, Harris's initial gains and surge in popularity is starting to flatline. Polling now suggests Americans are swallowing a reality pill and I suspect the election is going to be really close. I think the margin Harris holds currently is nowhere near as big as Biden held in 2020, so it's anyone's election. trump's foray into saying outrageous things has a modicum of strategy. For example his "Kamala is Indian" comments is actually clever, he is drawing on anti-Indian sentiment in the black community to not necessarily make African Americans vote republican but rather not vote for Kamala which is still a win for trump.

I think Trump is going to lose, and not just because he's a racist and a liar. People had cringed away from the idea of a rematch between Trump and Biden, and now they only have Trump to feel cringeworthy about. For all the talk about "not knowing Harris," I think her newness is a definite plus.

^^^ I think either way its going to be very close. I am also mindful that many American men did not want a female candidate back in 2016.

Dunno, I likely won't be holding my breath till the votes are tallied.
