The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Despite pleas from his campaign staff and other Republicans to STFU!

When will he tell his MAGA Brown Shirts to 'stand by'?

At a rally Wednesday in Asheville, N.C., Trump called Harris “crazy,” “stupid” and a “lunatic,” adding that “she’s not smart, she’s not intelligent.” He repeatedly derided her laugh, including saying that it’s “career-threatening. That’s a laugh of a person with some big problems.”

Recent days have featured a familiar sight: a coterie of Trump allies taking to broadcast outlets such as Fox News, seemingly to send a message to Trump — in the apparent belief that this is how you get through to the cable-news-junkie former president. They’ve practically begged him to change it up. They’ve sought to push him away from talk of crowd sizes and personal attacks on Harris, and toward policy.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance insisted that he and Trump are talking about policy, but he added that “we’d much rather have an American president who is who he is” and “who’s willing to offend us” and “lets the American people see exactly who he is.”
Sure JD. Why is it that Republicans have to constantly apologize and make excuses for the orange idiot?

Trump's “deeply rattled” aides, advisers and donors still hope that the former president would come out with a “hard-hitting” speech that pushes a winning message. Good luck with that.

If his campaign continues to stumble how deranged will the senile old man get?
