Not sure who the candidate would have been without Trump in there, but any of them would have been better than this imbecile.

I've been hard on Vivek in the past because sometimes he tries way too hard like the dork who tries to fit in with the cool crowd. But when he turns the clown personality off, he's extremely smart and pragmatic in his approach. He'd be a good option for '28.

Trump -170
Harris +145

Polymarket has Trump with a 64.4% chance to win as of this morning. You can see current odds and the trend here: https://polymarket.com/elections

All the momentum in the betting markets is with Trump as we enter the last full week of the campaign (thank God it will be over soon). Strap in, because it's going to be a wild ride this week.

Trump -190
Harris +165

Polymarket has Trump with a 66.1% chance to win as of this morning. You can see current odds and the trend here: https://polymarket.com/elections

Also, I grabbed a bit more Harris at +165 this morning. She was +175 at one point yesterday, and I wish I had grabbed some then. I think this week will be a roller coaster, and I suspect I'll be able to get Trump at less than -165 at some point this week to lock in a win.

Or “Bugger off, wanker!”

Shame on you Democrats for your disgusting, vile, and downright dangerous conduct. You are irresponsible and are going to provoke one of your lunatic followers to violence. This rhetoric no place in a civilized society! Absolutely inexcusable.

He definitely didn't. No one who was considering voting for Trump cares about a joke some comic told. There definitely could be some folks who were gonna stay home that are more motivated to get out and vote against him because of this, but likely limited. This is mostly about people who already hated Trump confirming their priors.
