Donald Trump's chances of winning election slump after RNC speech
Donald Trump's chances of winning election slump after RNC speech
The odds of Donald Trump securing victory over Joe Biden in November have lengthened from 2/5 on Thursday to 8/15 on Friday, according to William Hill.
I have no idea about William Hill. But the odds they describe sound about right to me, and the Nate Silver thing and the summary of Trump’s speech sound informative
inb4 BIDEN COPIUM HAHAHA etc and etc
You're viewing a single thread.
So when he droned on about Hannibal lecter, was he trying to talked about Hannibal Barca?
(I don't want to listen to the speech)
No. He literally thought that Hannibal Lecter, the fictional murderer and cannibal from the film "The Silence of the Lambs", was both dead and also a great person. And no, the person who portrayed the character of Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins, isn't dead either. Also, that was a speech from a few weeks ago I think, and not the RNC speech, which was also unhinged and devolved into a Trump rally attacking Biden and prominent leftists rather than the "call for unity from a changed man" we were promised by bad faith right wing media outlets.
Trump's brain is just as much a pile of mush as Biden's is at this point, but at least I know in the moments of lucidity that Biden has, he's effective at the job and does the right thing. Can't say the same for the 34 time convicted felon running for re-election after he failed to steal the last one.
IMO the senility of either candidate is beside the point because they both have teams that will keep things running when they can't. Hell, those teams keep things running even when the president can because it's not a job one person can do alone.
The difference is Trump's team is openly planning fascism while Biden's team has to at least pretend to be opposed to that or risk more people accepting that neither party wants to oppose the ruler class.
The only time a president being lucid matters is when the president disagrees with their team, that disagreement matters for the people, and the president is on the good side of the disagreement.
And in this case, I can't see any disagreement a lucid Trump has with his team having a good option for the prime or any disagreement a lucid Biden has with his team having a worse outcome than Trump's team gaining power.
The Hannibal Lecter thing was back in May, unless he did it again.
He did do it again. He actually never quit. It's been part of his stump speech at several stops.
