Trump is currently the betting line favorite to win the Presidency. FWIW. Not a big favorite (+125 to Biden's +190), but he's a favorite nonetheless. I think it's entirely plausible that the Democratic Party doesn't want to gamble with Biden on another Trump term. Biden is only a -275 favorite to be the Democratic nominee. Newsom is +250.

Anytime in recent memory democrats had a “need” to go vote, they have shown up and won decisively. Democrats will show up to hate vote against trump. There is zero chance of trump ever winning another general due to that.

The odds are probably that low for Biden for the legit worry of him being dead before then.

I don't think it's close to certain Trump won't win a general election. But go get some free money if you think it's a lock. Democrats are +100 to win the Presidency. $1000 max bet at Betonline.

Certainly calling for the genocide of any group of people would not be striving to make the world a better place for anyone.
Why would you think I believe that is OK?
I'm not sure you read TPM's explanation of the total situation. Perhaps it would be helpful.

Oh I read it..it's just more slanted vomit. The fact that you use TPM as any type of credible information source shows just how gullible you are. If you are truly interested in making the 'world a better place' you should consider being less reliant on information that is completely skewed to one side of every argument. The TPM's of the world have helped create our current political climate and the people that lean on those sites for opinion formulation are definitely not helping make this place a better place.

I would hope that you think calling for a genocide is wrong...that's not what I asked. Re-read please and let me know your thoughts on what those university presidents said.

The fact that you think a Jewish historian spews "slanted vomit" , and that you don't understand that I read all sides of issues, makes me unlikely to want to answer any of your questions as if you think this is a class and you can engage in gotchas. Sorry.

I assume that the 'Jewish Historian' that you are referring to is Josh Marshall. Are you saying that Josh Marshall is not completely slanted to one side of the political aisle? The same Josh Marshall who recently tweeted out "Benjamin Netanyahu MUST be destroyed politically" Is he beyond reproach because he's a Jewish Historian? This is the same guy who once posted a porn link to his twitter page. He's definitely 'making the world a better place' as you suggest..lol

We all know which left-leaning publications you read. I'm curious to know which conservative publications you read in order to get 'all sides' as you say. You can certainly choose to not answer questions that make you feel uncomfortable under the guise of being above it. Why hide?

Thank you for pointing out why there's no need to engage with you, or answer your "questions."
Josh Marshall didn't tweet that.
He posted a link to a person commenting on an article (that used that phrase) in the oldest Jewish newspaper in Israel.
In that article, the author lays out the difference between supporting Israel and wanting Netanyahu gone.
Many Israeli's (the majority) are not happy with their current prime minister.
His trial for fraud, bribery and breach of trust has resumed.

I read it. It’s not an explanation of the real situation. It’s biased crap by a liberal “journalist” who is blaming conservative politicians for the university presidents’ behavior

Yeah I read it that way as well.

Question is, how do we turn this antisemitic and racist viewpoints out of our colleges. Hard to do when it starts at the top.

I guess this is what happens when you teach kids and young adults to hate America and Israel. This hate runs so deep, some don’t actually believe the vile events on October 7th even happened or feel more compelled to tear up hostages posters.

Well, take a look at this.

https://www.270towin.com/2024-presid...lection-polls/

Trump is polling at +6 in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan....+7 in Pennsylvania! Those are stunning numbers in states that Biden won in '20. +3 in Nevada puts that one in play.

This narrative about Trump being unelectable in a general election is BS.

I have very little interest in polling that is consistently wrong every election. Polls don’t vote.

No doubt.

But look, Black men are polling way up at 20% for Trump. Traditional Hispanic Americans are increasingly agitated over Biden's border. The entire Progressive left siding with Hamas, may do weird things to the Jewish vote. Muslim Americans have completely disowned Sleepy Joe.

Joe Biden is a severely flawed candidate. No where near the "Return normalcy to the WH" candidate of 2020. "Normalcy" didn't happen and his Presidency has been a train wreck. The "Biden family syndicate" is at the very least shady. His mental heath is a running joke. A vast majority of his own party doesn't want him to run.

So, this is the guy that the Dems want to "go all in" vs Trump? Not going to happen.
