(179,999 posts)There is polling showing that TFG is competitive with President Biden. Such polling is suspect but should not be ignored. I was a Clinton delegate to Philadelphia and the prevailing view that Hillary would win easily. While I was at the convention, Russia did its first data dump and we had to change chairperson of the party during the convention. Putin will use whatever means he still has available to help TFG in that TFG is the only way for Putin to be Ukraine.
Right now, we are looking at Cornel West/Jill Stein and No Labels running third parties in efforts designed to re-elect TFG. Jill Stein and her Russian backers are why Hillary lost three states. Jill Stein was responsible for electing TFG in 2016. Now, the bid by Cornel West is designed to help re-elect TFG.

In 2016, the Green Party played an outsized role in tipping the election to Donald Trump. Now, with Cornel West as their likely nominee, they could easily do it again. Risky business, he tweeted.....
Axelrod compared West to 2016 Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who some blamed for splitting the vote for Hillary Clinton in key electoral states, potentially causing Clintons electoral loss to former President Trump.
Stein won more votes than Trumps margin of victory in Wisconsin and Michigan, states which would have tipped the outcome of the election if Clinton had won them.
I am not taking anything for granted. TFG is running to stay out of prison and could win with help from third parties. No labels is being funded by the Harlan Crow and others who want TFG to win.
I really wish that you are right, but I strongly disagree. We need to work hard to re-elect President Biden and VP Harris.
