Is it possible there's trouble ahead for the presumptive nominee?

As James Carville once told Bill Clinton "It's the economy, Stupid!" The two top issues with Americans right now are the border and inflation. Joe Biden polls terribly on both.

Except you're wrong. After Jan 6 and the Dobbs decision, the top two issues are protecting democracy from Trump and women's rights to an abortion.

You MAGA imbeciles obviously didn't learn that lesson during the 2022 election, but you're going to learn that lesson again the hard way in November.

Oh BULLSHIT, Joey! She overwhelmingly targeted conservative groups and you know it! She didn't even accuse them of violating the law...she simply stonewalled their applications to be tax exempt organizations. She didn't do that to liberal groups. Only to conservative groups.

You mean she did what bureaucrats are allowed to do. Point out that your application is deficient. HELLO, that's her job.

She could have prosecuted these twits and won. Instead she said, "Um, Sorry, you aren't a public welfare agency, you are a political group, and you have to disclose your donors, like the law says."

Putting aside the poll numbers suggesting a significant number of Repubs will not vote for the Orange Rapist, there may financial trouble on the horizon as well. He's been paying his legal bills from his PAC money fund but now faces a potential $83.3M hit in the Carroll case as well as $370M in the NY fraud case meaning that fund would get wiped out. A ruling against him in NY may also cause him to shutter the Trump Org.'s businesses there.

So, all you fans of a rapist indicted on 91 criminal counts, dig deep. Don needs your money now more than ever. Even though he claims to be worth $10B.

Doesn't it seem logical to believe the consequence of Trump's choice of SC justices resulting in Repub controlled states criminalizing abortion will be problematic among women voters?

The most notable thing about the Republican call-and-response following the E. Jean Carroll verdict was that there was barely any response at all.
On Friday night and into the weekend, the story of former President Donald Trump being ordered to pay the writer $83.3 million in damages stemming from her defamation case against him didn’t lead Fox News, which was consumed instead with the immigration crisis on the Southern border. The Daily Caller was busy flogging Hunter Biden. And on the right-wing network Newsmax’s pages, the verdict ran beneath reporting on a bathroom bill in Utah, Israel and Vince McMahon.

“Everyone is just trying to pretend it didn’t happen,” said Jason Roe, the former executive director of the state Republican Party in Michigan.

In the past, when prosecutors or the courts have smacked Trump, the former president fumed and the GOP rage machine spun itself into overdrive, framing the court developments as acts of political persecution. In the Carroll case, the first part happened, but not the second.
That most Republicans were not talking about $83 million in damages reflects both a discomfort with, and an uncertainty about, the political implications of the verdict. It also hints at a latent fear: that the ruling may prove to be a turnoff for some independent or conservative-leaning women in the suburbs.

The Trump defense industrial complex goes a bit quiet after Carroll verdict

‘Trump chaos is baked in the cake at this point,’ one Republican strategist said.

The verdict was a foregone conclusion. Why would THAT be a bigger news story than the thing that Americans overwhelmingly cite as THEIR number one concern...the border?

Oh wait...you want people to not pay attention to what's happening now in cities like New York, Boston, Denver and Chicago as the reality of letting 8 million illegals into the country becomes a fiscal nightmare for your "sanctuary" cities! Focus on something that happened over twenty years ago and don't look at what's destroying the country NOW!!! Is that your strategy, Berg?

Yes, the media has whipped the country into a frenzy about it.

Doesn't take away from the fact Trump is a rapist and a crook.

When was Trump ever convicted of rape? You wouldn't know a "fact" Joey if it crawled up your leg and bit you on your pee pee!
