    I agree that he isn’t exciting but I don’t think the president should be exciting. He or she needs to be a capable leader who is good at picking teams otherwise I want to know very little about the day to day of the president’s life. More weekly blog post and less constant tweeting.

      But that’s the thing, Trump, despite being a terrible person and president, was genuinely pretty popular with his voter base. They will more than likely come out to vote, despite his popularity declining a bit. However, Biden, while being a relatively sane, levelheaded president, is not really popular. His VP isn’t particularly liked (bad pr or not, that is an issue) and a lot of his voter support seems to be, "well, at least he isn’t Trump. " I find that incredibly scary, as it means in my mind that Biden being re-elected isn’t such a slam dunk as a lot of the DNC seems to project.

        All my neighbors, probably 15 or so rural/suburban pensultuky had 2024 flags and all of them are gone since the trial. He really pissed off a chunk of those folks.

        We’ll see how they vote should he be the nomination however.

          This year I spent two weeks driving around rural Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. During those drives I saw a single Trump yard sign, 2 bumper stickers, and not a single red maga hat.

          I think things are quite bad for Trump in visible appearance, but shame disappears in the voting booth, so who knows.

      That’s the problem now, though. These asshats all think they are celebrities.
