It's too late for the Republicans to pull a switcheroo too, right?

You ARE a true conservative Republican who is NOT a member of The Cult!

Hell, even if both candidates just swapped places with their respective VP's, we'd better in a better spot.

Even if I were a member of the cult, it's pretty clear that this guy is going to lose badly. That's my prediction right now, unless something big and unexpected happens between now and the election.

(The election which should be a *day*, not an "early voting season")

I noticed I can be swayed very easily by the news. (Swayed as to who I think is winning, not whom I’ll vote for).
What makes you think he’s going to lose badly, and have you felt this way since Biden bowed out?
Seemed like it was in the bag after the assassination attempt, but yeah, now it’s different.

As it became clear that this would be a Biden/Trump rematch without something weird happening, I was pretty convinced that whichever party could jettison one of them would win. And here we are.

...member of the cult...

Those people labeled as cult members, alertly understood the threat that the shooter imposed, and worked hard to get law enforcement personnel to act on the threat, at the Butler, PA 13-July-2024 rally.

One of those people (a married father of two, and volunteer fire fighter) labeled as a cult member, died in the act of supporting his chosen presidential candidate, and two others were severely injured.

There was no panic nor fleeing amongst rally attendees, and in fact there was an outpouring of support of those hurt; and all stood their ground.

These are examples of a people who are individuals, united in a common cause.

Cult?!? Sheesh.
