Re: Immigration

It is a wonder you bit stained wretches don't wander over to the Census Dept to read their thoughts on what the closure of the borders would do to our population in 2100. They say we would lose 100 million. That, does solve some problems but we will not like the total solution.

I like to think about interesting things, and this race, as it stands, is not very interesting, nor very fun. Trump, in particular, does not seem to be having fun. He seems rather miserable. In fact, he kind of seems like he wants out.

Now, thanks to Sam Bankman-Fried, we know Trump would drop out of the race for $5 billion - and that was his opening offer, so he could probably be haggled down. Shall we start a collection plate?

Moreover, what the *heck* would happen if he decided to pull out? Does it go to Vance (no onw wants that)? Can the RNC name someone else? Haley had the 2nd-most delegates - would that matter?

Trump not having fun is more fun than Trump having fun. So I’m okay with it.

I look forward to the upcoming debate where the moderators cite those economists who believe his policies are far more inflationary than anything proposed by Harris and ask him to defend his policies. If they will, of course . . .

"I tried to listen to all of Donald Trump’s press conference yesterday" Yes, it's hard. But a lot harder than trying to listen to a Harris/Walz presser. Because there are none.

I'm not sure anyone cares whether Harris does a presser, except Republicans and legacy journalists. Do the swing state voters care?

The people who don't care are voters who don't care about anything anyway. They only want to beat Trump. Everyone else is wondering what's going on. When Harris/Walz refuse to hold a press conference, they are thumbing their nose at independents. Independents swing elections. You better care.

Newsflash, Rich: I know your ilk love to live in the past instead of caring about the present (or future) but Trump isn't running against Biden and for that matter, it's not May any more.
