Trump Forced To Cancel Campaign Rallies For Next Two Weeks As Time Off Request Denied By McDonald's Manager

 

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Former President Trump has been forced to cancel all of his rallies for the next two weeks after his request to take time off was denied by Brad Norris, his manager at McDonald's.

"I told Brad it was very important, that I really needed the time off," said Trump.  "He just said that serving delicious golden fries in a timely fashion was also important, and told me to get my priorities in order.  I have to tell, I was mad, but I really respect that Brad guy.  Tough guy, very smart."

With Trump stuck working at McDonald's, Trump will reportedly hold rallies in the PlayPlace during his break times.  [...]

Excellent take on Trump, but of course haters will hate even though it is blinding their common sense.  Btw, I am a white college grad, and I would not vote for the establishment candidate Harris over anyone.  Heck a bowl of fruit or even Old Corrupt Petulant Joe, even with his addled mind would probably do better.

 

As I Said, This Election Is About Class, Not Race Or Party

 

I am, broadly speaking, of the same class as Epstein, if not quite as fluent a writer or as deep a thinker. I am the child of two Harvard grads who became academics; my sister went to Harvard, and I went to a tony private liberal arts college and went on to teach in academia. I, too, admire verbal fluency and bespoke suits, even if I have never owned one myself. And, to be honest, I find Donald Trump crass and bombastic. 

 

Trump is not of my class, in other words, and I have a residual distaste for his Queens loudness of voice, his locker room talk, and his gaudiness. 

 

The difference is that I don't really care about any of that. It is not just superficial, it is stupid to care. After all, members of my class are worse in every way. They virtue signal by approving the murder of infants, the sterilization and mutilation of children, and the recruitment of teens into alphabet cults. They sacrifice the well-being of my fellow citizens and import into the country criminals and uneducated welfare recipients, hoping to recruit them to become low-wage workers in farms, nursing homes, and lawn-care companies. 

 

The educated class finds their fellow Americans so crass that they must be censored. They view us as disease vectors. They call us "deplorables," and want to restrict our mobility and reduce the energy consumption that we need to make a better life for ourselves.

Can Democrats still win in rural states? Montana’s Senate race offers litmus test
Jon Tester is fighting to keep his Senate seat amid the prospect that Democrats like him are now facing political extinction in the state

I thought this was interesting how Dems standing locally are desperately trying to separate themselves from KK and Old Joe.

Even the incumbent Senators are saying things like "I'm a Dem who can work with Trump" -- Bob Casey in PA is doing exactly this.

Just voted early -- first day for it in Texas.  Line snaked around the inside and was nearly out the door.  Three elderly ladies behind me were voting for Trump and predicted a landslide, saying that it needs to be "too big to rig."  We shall see.

[Dashinka 24,404]

What did she say?!?  Was that on the teleprompter?

This is interesting.  Will the 37% be a factor?

Even Dem Voters Show Signs Of 'Buyer's Remorse' Over Party's Unprecedented Electoral Moves:  I&I/TIPP Poll

 

As Election Day looms and polls tighten up, a solid majority of Americans remain unhappy with the Democratic Party's machinations to remove President Joe Biden as its candidate and replace him with Vice President Kamala Harris.  And it's not strictly partisan.  Many Democrats are also upset at how the party switched candidates, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

As Harris continues to struggle, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,240 registered voters indicates lingering widespread disappointment with the Democratic Party's maneuvers to get rid of the age-impaired Biden last July.

The poll asked voters whether they agreed or disagreed with the following three statements:  [...]

Opinion:  Trump went to McDonald's and fried Kamala Harris' campaign to a crisp

 

It had reached the point where no one could break through.

The presidential election had turned into a blur of cannon fire with each side shooting so many broadsides that nothing made sense.  Nothing was discernable.

Then Donald Trump went to McDonald's ...
... and BOOM!

The roar was deafening.  For a moment, the smoke cleared.  The sea stilled.  And you could hear the timber start to split.

The mainmast of the Democratic Party was falling.  [...]

This is a surprisingly detailed look at the Texas Senate debate, which I missed when it was televised.  Read or skim this for your information.

Ted Cruz's Chances at Reelection Are Looking Even Better After That Debate Against Colin Allred

 

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Colin Allred recently met for a debate in the U.S. Senate race out of Texas.  While the race is seen as one of Democrats' top targets in a challenging cycle for the party, Cruz gave a strong performance, with Bonchie at our sister site of RedState declaring, "Ted Cruz Leaves Colin Allred's Campaign in Shambles With Masterful Debate Performance."  Susie Moore's "Weekly Briefing" also noted how "Cruz Rumbles."

Allred seemed rather nervous and awkward.  He also stuck to repetitive talking points.  As Bonchie noted, "Allred wasn't ready for primetime, contradicting himself at multiple points and walking right into numerous receipt-laden traps set by Cruz."  [...]

There's a reason Trump is campaigning in NYC:  He might win there

Yesterday, Donald Trump joined Fox News host Lawrence Jones at a Bronx barbershop.  Trump, a Queens native who spent a lot of time on construction sites, was clearly at home among these guys in a way that Kamala and Walz never could be.  (JD Vance would be at home there, too.)  There was no fakery.  Trump may be a billionaire, but these are his people—and because Trump is real, he understood the pain the barber's hyper-inflated energy bills are causing him.  That pain and Trump's recognition explains why he's campaigning in New York, a place that ought to be a no-win for a Republican.

 

The last time a Republican won New York state was during the Reagan revolution.  Trump, though, may be trying to break that dismal Republican record.  [...]

Two weeks and the Dems/Establishment seem to be unraveling.

 

What if Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?

'You're At The Wrong Town Hall,' Snaps Kamala At Citizen Trying To Ask Her A Question

 

[...] According to Maria Shriver, the facilitator at the town hall, Kamala's outburst was provoked by an ordinary, everyday citizen who got up to ask Kamala how she would respond to the problems with the US economy.

 

"I think you're at the wrong town hall," Kamala reportedly fired back at the citizen as several Kamala staffers came to escort the poor woman out of the building.  "You really ought to be at the town hall down the street, holistically.  That wasn't one of the pre-approved questions you can ask me — try asking Trump instead!  HAHAHAHA!"  [...]
