    I saw that in Tulsa, a bunch of teens reserved seats for the rally and didn’t show up. Creating huge blocks of empty seats lol. More people should do it to him just to piss him off

    The Republican nominee visited a new campaign office in Hamtramck, one of the nation’s only Muslim-majority cities, and was joined there by Mayor Amer Ghalib, a Democrat who has endorsed Trump. Meanwhile, three city council members in the same town have endorsed Harris.

    “His visit today is to show respect and appreciation to our community,” said Ghalib, who presented Trump with a framed certificate of appreciation.

    Oh lord.

      I bet the award was because he said he won Michigan Man of the Year award so now he has an award from there so he’s not wrong anymore.

    It doesn’t matter how much you kiss his ass, Ghalib. You’ll never be white enough. He’d deport you tomorrow if he could.

    Also, I won’t even get into the contradiction of a “Democrat” endorsing Trump. I hope you’re not betting the farm on reelection.

      Don’t be fooled that that mayor is a deeply religious conservative, it was just the wrong religion for the local Republicans.

    Asked about the Hamtramck mayor’s endorsement, Trump said: “I mean, frankly, it’s an honor. I’ve got a lot of endorsements, Arab Americans, from a lot of people.”

    Incoherent. Not completely, but not a well structured sentence.

    I went out to my folks’ house yesterday and I was shocked. They are in sort of a rural area and I saw exactly two Trump signs and probably twenty for Harris plus a few for prominent State democrats where they weren’t displaying presidential signs.

    By contrast my neighborhood is probably closer to 50/50 and we’re more suburban what with having sidewalks and all.

      Unfortunately. I had the exact opposite experience. Trump/Vance signs friggin everywhere and even a damn trump megastore where they sell all things trump lol. Saw a dude walking down the street today before I flew out wearing a shirt that said “this is my pride flag” and it was just a picture of Trump’s face. YMMV I guess haha

          Definitely more although not by a ton I’d say. but the Trump superstore wasn’t there in 2020 so I think that absolutely plays a part in the increase of pro trump stuff around town lol.

      While a lack of signs signals people losing interest in Trump, which is great, I expect the vast majority of R party line voters will still vote for him anyway because of their fear that Harris will take away their guns or force them to get abortions or out of fear of immigrants because the rest of the R party promotes the same lies and fear mongering.

      They just won’t be as excited about it anymore.

        Of the Republicans I know, I don’t think any of them are afraid of Kamala. I think they are just Republicans and the idea of actually choosing is a foreign concept.

        I don’t get that. I’m an independent. Have been since I could vote. In theory I would vote Republican, but in fact there hasn’t been one I’d vote for since McCain lost the 2000 primary (and that includes when he won it in 2008—I don’t know what they did to him, but he was a different man by then.)

        But there are a lot of people who either vote their party or just stay home. This year there are barely any ads for Republican state candidates or Trump (could be I’m in a filter bubble, though). The state GOP is a smoking ruin.

        There is nothing here pushing us red. This is so different from 2016 and especially 2020. I’m not a pollster. I’m not a political expert. But I just can’t see any path to a Republican victory here in Michigan as we went blue in 2020 and he had so much more visible support compared to today.

        But we’ll see come Election Day.

            Any burglars in her vicinity would be taken out by the Secret Service. But if her husband was home alone, he might have to defend himself. See: Mr. Pelosi

    So… Where are the pics of this “empty” rally? I watched a video that seemed to have a thin audience in the background. If “empty” is the headline, should be pretty easy to show the pathetic crowd, right?

      The Express is a garbage UK tabloid news source now trying to make it in the US. I wouldn’t believe anything in it until I see it reported elsewhere, much as I enjoy stories about Trump rallies being dumpster fires.
