Vivek seemed to have a shocker, so drifts in the market but then the media all say he had a good night? Am I watching something completely different? :lol:

Vivek comes across as really unlikeable, he calls Trump the greatest president of the 21st century, so why are you running then?
I would never vote for someone who puts his success down to god. You may as well just start praying!

JLP (poll for the Daily Mail) polled GOP voters and asked who had the better debate performance:

Vivek 28%
RDS 27%
Pence 13%
Scott 8%
Haley 7%
Burgum 4%
Christie 3%
Asa 2%

Obviously its best to wait for the Fox poll as that's who conducted the debate but the MSM saying DeSantis had a bad night is just misleading. Also with Vivek and RDS getting more than half the vote I think it shows where the GOP is right now, Haley and Scott are perfect for Indies and Republican leaning voters but they're just not extreme enough.

Trump will be surrendering to authorities at a notorious Georgia prison in 5-6 hours. As well as having a mugshot taken, "he will get a taste for prison life, the sights, sounds and smell of human containment". :D

But he won’t be staying after paying bail.

He won't be staying but he won't be sleeping too well when he gets home. :D

You're not supposed to smile for a mugshot. What the fuck did the cameraman think he's doing? Taking pics at a party?

The jail Trump's going to holds 1,500 inmates and is notorious for poor health conditions and excessive force used by prison staff.

Give him a guided tour. :D

The prosecution is expected to try and cut deals with the henchmen and women. Plead guilty, spill the beans and we'll look after you. :D

There is just zero path for Asa, Christie and Burgum. And how Youngkin is still in the 30s is quite incredible, I was bullish on him months ago but he clearly isn't running, he has a much much greater chance of being VP to RDS for which he is the same price.

The markets are following the MSM narrative like they did in 22, I will be backing more of RDS.

And that's a big drop for Trump, he may find come the 3rd debate he has no choice but to speak.

Trump's arrest time 0:30 UK time. Trump supporters gathering at the airport. Reporter says it's the same lot as last time. :lol:

And Chesebro (what a great name btw) gets his wish for a speedy trial for the end of October, I imagine he's planning on singing to the judge on Trump

Trump, like the rest of the indictees, will be spared handcuffs. Every single one of them should be treated just like the rest of the public, and Trump should be strip-searched, in case he's got some classified documents hidden up his arse!

He keeps them everywhere else. :lol:

They keep talking about civil disobedience or even civil war if Trump doesn't win the election, but what happens if he doesn't win the Republican nominee? :lol:
