Trump may have already lost the next election ...? extra line around "Alabama"

[Stuart G]

...This incident with the pen, drawing an extra line around Alabama is not going to go away. How about Dukakis riding around in a tank?..remember that one? (1988) How about, "I am not a crook." (Nov 1973 ) Is that a good one? There are plenty more. But the "thing with the pen, drawing a line...(and evidently Trump drew the line) is going to go down for all time. He will be known as, "Mr. "Sharpie" Trump. (Sept 2019)
..Take that one to the bank.

2. Most POTUS are re-elected for second term unless the economy is bad

I would not count our chickens right now. The economy is not hurting and trump may be re-elected.

[Stuart G]

5. I don't think Trump has a chance at all. Much too much a liar.

...Trump lies about anything and everything. People are disgusted in my opinion. He can't stop, it is what he is, and who he is. Yes, he might get re-elected. But, I don't think so. This one with the pen and the line will never be forgotten. We will see. But one thing I think is for sure: "More to come with this show, stay tuned."

17. I agree with you totally. No way will this idiot get re-elected. Too many negatives and ...

unless the Russians step in it big time, and massively interfere with our elections, he'll be sent packing. If the interference is too massive and noticeable, then we'll have a problem right there and then, and the election will be held up in limbo. It'll be obvious to all if the interference gets too obvious, so we'll have this going for us.

19. the economy is hurting

plenty of signs showing slowing and weakness.

Consumer confidence is steadily dropping too so this isn't just me whistling past the graveyard, consumers (aka voters) see it too.
So do plenty of economists.

His days of running on a strong economy have more or less ended.

[enough]

3. Not sure where this optimism about the election is coming from.

We have thought over and over that some outrage or stupidity would finish him off. Has something changed?

[qazplm135]

20. check out the consumer confidence numbers

or other economic signs of weakening and slowing, job creation, real wages, debt/deficit.

This isn't just about outrage.

[IcyPeas]

6. nah, this too will be forgotten news in 2 days

[aeromanKC]

7. And blatantly lied about it

Like the kid with blueberry all his mouth who says he doesn't know who ate the pie.

9. Here is why this won't go away..for Mr. Trump...Look at the first 10-12 toons at this link:

Do you think this will go away?..and to come soon, very soon...jokes about "Sharpies"

All kind of jokes from all kinds of people.. This has just started...take a look:

8. I agree

This is not going to go away

[torius]

10. His campaign is selling Sharpies.

The dumber he acts. the more gleeful his base is. Owning the libs.

[Stuart G]

12. His campaign can own the lies, but it won't work. 60 percent will not own it. Maybe more.

It is a very stupid lie, and everyone knows it. Too late. When jokes are told about "Sharpies" then people will think about all the other lies he told. Trump is now the "King of Sharpies."

18. I saw an old guy with a big DEPLORABLE bumper sticker today.

Proud to be deplorable.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

11. In a normal world, I'd agree with you. In this bizarro world we live in,

I'm not sure.

I thought "Grab them by the pussy," and mocking the disabled reporter, and a million other things would have ended it for him before the election, but...here we are.

[Stuart G]

13. Yes, "Grab them by the pussy" pretty bad..but this is worse. So simple and so stupid

Discussing "pussies" kind of crude. This one is not just stupid,,,,,so stupid, stupid beyond stupid

and everyone can laugh at the stupidity. The pussy quote, may not be appreciated as much as this one.
...Even a 7 year old understands a fake line to lie about something" Everyone appreciates the jokes about his.

[Hortensis]

14. :) And liars and spinners sharpsters?

Lying and smearing now "sharpying"? "They've got their Sharpies out for Harris"?

But for projections, don't make the mistake of comparing how the Democratic Party's mostly liberal voters would react with how today's hyperpartisan conservatives do. I was 100% wrong when we learned Trump was surrounded by Russians and at least "flirting with treason" and I happily assumed he was out. Even came here to share relief at the good news...

Imagining the (now-usual) pain and embarrassment this must have caused Alabama's Republicans especially is worth a sadistic smile, though. They so deserve all he dishes. If this doesn't lose him the election (mental disorder, depravity, treason and sexual predation didn't), at least we can hope it's pushed a few more, already long fed up with humiliation, into finally deciding they can't vote for him.

Straw by straw...

15. Captain Donny Queeg

Captain Donny Queeg : "Ahh, but the Sharpie! That's - that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that hurricane Strawberry was headed to Alabama."

16. Take that one to the bank.

Let's see, when did I last hear that?
Oh yeah, during the 2016 Election... The bank returned that check, uncashed

[Alea]

21. No one I know or talk to on a daily basis cares about this.

I only hear about it here. He may lose but it won't be over sharpie gate lol.
