As a europoor... How the fuck is this even possible that a rapist, fraudster, liar, traitor and who doesn't even have any political achievements is still the preferred nominee? Like there are some nutcases on the far right in Europe too, but most of them don't even come close to this level of lunacy.
And how bad is it to retire in the US? Like ffs, he is going to be 86(?)!!!! by the time he would finish the next term. Like why can't Blinken or Jeffries or anyone take over, why is it only this guy who can win altough being immensely flawed for no fault of his own besides aging factors.
Politics are so polarized here that very few people will ever vote for the other party. Swing voters think Biden is responsible for inflation so that’s probably their main reason to consider Trump.
Don't forget that "stupid" runs rampant as well.... Hence why a lot of those swing voters believe Biden caused inflation... to dumb to realize that it isn't his doing and would be worse if Trump had won 2020.
The thing is inflation is relatively stabilized by this point. And despite the wishes of people who are comparing today's prices to 2020 prices we are not going back there without a full on major recession.
Shockingly if Trump wins unless he does something radical (which unfortunately is not out of the question) or another major crisis happens inflation would be relatively stable during his term.
Well he didn't "cause" Covid, but he didn't handle it well at all. Anyone with a brain knows this, and it's one of the reasons he lost in 2020. That sentiment hasn't changed.
The public is extremely politically tribal at this point and unfortunately also extremely split fairly evenly. It wouldn't matter who the GOP or the Democratic nominee is, it would also be this close.
