I don't remember them asking ANY of these questions. I remember them asking about Project 2025, Trump tariffs, abortion, Haitian recipes, and that's about it.

If the media asked questions that the middle class cared about, then I think a lot more of us (left/right) would be united. When they ask questions like "Isn't Project 2025 a cool thing?" they are obviously just trying to hurt Trump and to score points for Harris.

I haven't payed much attention to the contrast between popular vote and electoral vote of the years, but I will pay close attention this time because this election is so important.

The stuff you're telling me is setting off multiple alarms in my head. Each state's party selects the delegates? That sounds like a very bad problem. The New York GOP is incredibly corrupt. And those villains have the power to select delegates for the presidential election? That's not good at all. I don't trust em! Nobody should ever trust their state's party officials. Not for a second. I was under the impression that the national GOP would select all the delegates.

We have jobs, we're not on a quest for free stuff, and we don't have time for jail. I assure you that I'm a major MAGA guy and I promise you that I'm not gonna protest if something doesn't go my way. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64) * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201) .
