Okay. That makes sense.I don’t think it’s a case of him gaining votes Otis. From what I’ve read Biden is losing votes with the younger generation over Israel/Gaza. No indication that the votes are going to Trump, just Biden is losing young voters.
Guess the difference is Trumps supporters see nothing wrong with dropping bombs on GazaSurely Trump's stance is the same though isn't it?
Hard to say. The difference is I guess Trump has a loyalty base based on empty rhetoric, the people who are going to vote for him are going to vote for him. The votes Biden needs are from voters capable of independent thinking based on the evidence of their own eyes rather than just toe the line regardless of the evidence of their own eyes. Don’t think this is a case of swapping votes, more a case of can’t vote Trump but can’t vote for Biden either based on his Israel/Gaza stance.Okay. That makes sense.

Not forgetting the walking out on Afganistán with no proper dialogue or planning with allies. The economy over there has been doing unbelievably well in terms of GDP/on the surface but inflation has been and remains high, there’s been a huge influx of migration that has kept the poorest wages suppressed (although has probably helped jobs market from overheating), massive amounts of government borrowing (which is now out of control - trump was also bad) and to buy a new home you need to take out a 7-7.5% mortgage on properties where prices have gone through the roof.
There are major cracks forming and he’s got to hope it holds together until the election. If unemployment starts to rise it could be the straw that broke the camel (publics) back
Trump would be a disaster for democracy
Where are you getting these economic facts from?
Wages for the lowest paid are rising faster than any other group:
Inflation is at 3.4% which is fairly normal for developed economies right now.
US inflation at 3.4% in April, dropping slightly from previous month
Policymakers have been surprised by stubborn price growth, which they hoped to bring down to 2%, in recent monthsamp.theguardian.com
House prices are high like all the anglophone nations, but the US economy generally is in a much better place than most developed economies post covid.
Yeah. It needs all 12 jurors to agree and I don't think they will. The key witness, Michael Cohen, is not exactly the sort of key witness you need is he, a convicted felon.There’s no way he goes down surely? There would be riots. Some kind of slap on the wrist at worst I’m betting.
I think he will be convicted on more than half the counts. Trump didn’t take the stand and the paper evidence is strong. As you suggest, the jury may not all agree.Yeah. It needs all 12 jurors to agree and I don't think they will. The key witness, Michael Cohen, is not exactly the sort of key witness you need is he, a convicted felon.

Just the type of person you want running for presidentTrump's team is requesting a date of mid-to-late July for sentencing because of a conflict with another court hearing in Florida.

Get over itBreaking News: Donald Trump selected as Labour candidate for Islington North and will serve as Justice secretary in a Starmer government
What else is he going to say?WITCH-HUNT!!!
The most innocent man the world has ever seen.Oh, I see he's not an innocent man, he's a VERY innocent man.
The guy is insane.
It's bad for his campaign though, yes it will fire up his base but the actual people he needs to vote for him are independent moderates and this is likely to turn a large number off of that.Unfortunately I doubt anything much will happen to him.
The traffic from all those pick up trucks must be awful so can't blame the lads to be fairApparently thats always the way it's been. They turn up big numbers, go wild, boo the press and piss off before the end. Seen a few BBC and various news articles on it first time around.
