We could build you a model of Harris made out of matchsticks and glue to prove an 737 couldn’t have made her more popular than Biden. Enough evidence for you? ---

After watching her speech at the rally and how the Republicans are responding I may have to admit I could be wrong, maybe she can win. Someone also reminded me that Hillary won the popular vote in her run. So maybe the US could elect a female President. She spun the cop angle into a positive, knowing it would be an oblivious angle of attack. If she can solidify the black vote, which was iffy before, then I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe she can win ---

@split_p_j has returned to spread his cite-free crankery in this thread: > [@Trump to attend Black journalists' convention](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-to-attend-black-journalists-convention/1005016): > > Just heard on the radio that TFG will be dropping into Chicago to attend the [National Association of Black Journalists Convention](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-attend-national-association-black-journalists-convention-2024-07-30/). As I understand it, he announced his intended appearance yesterday (Mon), and the convention is tomorrow (Wed). Strikes me as a curious appearance, and wondered if any of you had any thoughts about it. Will be interesting to see how he is welcomed, the sorts of questions he is asked, and the responses of attendees. My cynical fear is that he is hoping to either c… Of course, we’re just supposed to trust that he has the answers. I’m sure he’s as certain that he’s correct now as he was a week or two ago when he said Harris can’t win (and the promptly changed his mind). ---

I don’t need a cite, we are responding to what Trump is actually saying and doing. I don’t know if the strategy will work, but we have to acknowledge it is a strategy, it’s not just random. He went there for a reason. ---

Whatever, bury your heads in the sand. Trump is targeting black men, ages about 18-35 and being advised to do so. He is trying to hit talking points consistently on this. You can keep calling me a racist, but the fact is the Republicans see a weakness here and are pounding it with their massage which includes misogyny, his “nasty woman” stick works on black men too. The elders of the community that were around in '08 and '20 are gone in '24. I’m the new elder and I’m point blank letting you know what is happening. ---

For what it’s worth, I was calling Trump racist. Because he blatantly is, as he amply demonstrated at this event. Whatever strategy he may have had in attending fell apart with his first encounter with the enemy. The enemy, in his case, being the truth.
