Ah that explains why I read something about campaign resources being diverted to Nebraska.
Nebraska gives each of its three districts a single EC vote, and the second district in an around Omaha has been swingy and can go Dem. With the map is looking it is not unreasonable that single vote can be the difference between a 270-268 win vs a 269-269 draw. For as cheap as a district as it is to be active in and the importance a win would have there it would make sense they are putting resources there.

With the financial edge overall, and with no āgrift taxā, it could be sound strategy for the Democrats to force the Republicans to spend the money they do have outside the Trump campaign on defensive measures, even in places where they would not normally prioritize.

Sure heās a bigoted shit head with no understanding of anything, but Im an economy voter, and Trump is simply better on the economy. Sure, despite the resounding post-covid rebound, low unemployment, and wage rises that have kept up with inflation, Bidenomics has just failed.

You could play a game of listening only to the answer and trying to guess what the question was and everyone would lose. Every time.
EDIT: Catherine Rampell described his speech as āsounded like it was just words randomly chosen out of the dictionary. To the extent that he said anything coherent, it was a promise of more corporate tax handouts and higher tariffs, which would raise costs for everyday Americansā

Now the interesting thing will be what Democratic resources that frees up - Virginia in particular would have seen significant spending.

TAN is honestly my favourite source of news from across the world. So many interesting and knowledgeable posters, from Nebraska to Edithvale.
They are the sharks of truth, and I am their remora.

Imagine being stuck in a lift with himā¦ He is one boring bastard.!
He actually sounded like he was trying to describe how he will get more money from the childcare system, not reduce its cost.
In fact he doesnāt even sound like he understands what childcare is.
Iād love to know what the defence is of this kind of rambling incoherent nonsense.

According to Trump, it is the levels of smart he has. So many levels of smart that no one else is smart enough to compare to his smart levels.

I think he was trying to say something like this, āIām going to tax imported goods, and with the revenue we will subsidize childcare for hard working Americans, and the revenue will be so high that we will do so many more things to make America great againā¦ā
Itās bollocks and empty, and not thought through, but he couldnāt even deliver that. I donāt even think he knows what childcare is. He understands nothing of the circumstances of how people live.
There is not a lot going on in between his ears.
