@shavixmir saidI don't know that Trump can back out of a debate against Harris, it would make him look weak. He may try to get the conditions more in his favour with a different Moderator.
I hope you are right.
I actually presume the second debate will be cancelled by trump.

I suspect you underestimate the significance of identity politics in Trump's success

Ingroup identification is generally less prevalent and politically potent for white
Americans than it is for other racial groups. We argue, however, that presidential
candidates who appeal to racial threats posed to whites from non-whites, such as
Donald Trump in 2016, Pat Buchanan in 1996, and George Wallace in 1968,
should activate the dormant political power of white consciousness. We show that
white consciousness had a significantly stronger impact on evaluations of Trump
than on evaluations of eighteen other political figures in two different 2016
surveys. Furthermore, white consciousness was powerfully associated with
support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential primaries—much more so than
it was for Mitt Romney in 2012. We also show that white consciousness was
more strongly associated with vote choice in the 2016 general election than in
prior elections and more strongly associated with support for Donald Trump
against Hillary Clinton than it was when other Republican candidates were pitted
against Clinton in trial heats

One thing for sure, if Kamala wins come November, there won't be any coup by the Heritage foundation and Project 2025. At least these coming 4 years.
They will not go away till the last of those traitors have died of old age.
But they will pass their defective social genes to a new generation of traitors to the constitution so they will keep trying, 2028, 32, 36, 40, they will never stop.

@AThousandYoung saidI don't disagree with any of that, but that November 2017 paper doesn't explain the fall in Trump support among white labor union members you already mentioned.@AThousandYoung said

Furthermore, those whites susceptible to a "white identity" pitch (mainly uneducated whites i.e. no college) are a shrinking share of the electorate so a strategy reliant on them is doomed in the long run.

Harris is everyone's worst nightmare.
God help us if she becomes president, what Biden did to America is nothing compared to the damage she will do.

This election will be a repudiation of the Project 2025 priorities.
-Removed-@Gooster,
Could be the smartest thing I've seen you say on the site since you been on it.
Only your wrong about a pig loves being its own feces. 🙂 😛 They will actually swallow their own feces, "Did you know that"? 🙂 So the pig will not try to get out of its own feces and loves rolling in mud to cool them down. You never lived on or near a farm did you? 🙂

-Removed-He started out his first 20 minutes or so going over the events of the 13th. Then for next hour or more just ranted and raved like the Trump of old. I was hoping the Bullet had changed him, but doesn't appear that way. I believe all his talk about GOD was just for show. A man who carries the Bible upside down isn't a religious man in my opinion.
