What is that? Are you trying to use spook terminology? If so itâs âDouble Blindâ and youâre using it wrong.

NoâŚI meant what I typed.
Itâs a rhetorical technique in debate where one creates a debate frame where any answer from the person one is debating results in a win for the person who created the frame.
Trump is a master at this. The only way out is to change the frame, or to prevent him from setting the double bind trap in the first.
Biden was really good at doing thisâŚhow people perceive Biden actually make him more effective than he otherwise would be because they underestimate him.
just wanted to say that with recent developments i want to be the first to congratulate Desantis on winning the nomination.

DeSantis has to course correct here.
Once (if) DeSantis announces and starts to work the states the polls will change.
Its skewed at the moment because DeSantis is not engaging on a national-basis

I hear that. Any potential indictment would also seriously shake things up. I give that 50/50 odds of happening.

An indictment that doesnât have iron clad proof of wrong doing may not have a predictable effect.

There will be no indictment.
Trump played a master stroke by saying he expected to get arrested. He stole the narrative from the DA, he benefitted from increased donations and once agsin controlled the political narrative.

Oh I agree. Either way. An indictment will help him improve his polling with the Base. An indictment where he is not convicted would also bolster him.

As the Media focuses more attention on DeSantes, their tendency to emphasize the negatives helps Trump. Some might even say they are doing so deliberately because they see Trump as unelectable even against Biden. In other words, the Media doesnât want Republicans to nominate a good candidate.

Why do you persist in this nonsense? Are you of the belief that Bragg is in cahoots with Trump ⌠that they cooked up this grand jury thing to help Trump?
It was my opinion and I was wrong. Trump has been indicted.
As Oscar Wilde said, âThe only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.â The Democrats are constantly giving Trump free advertising and name recognition. And when they try to take a break from talking Trump, Trump, Trump, 45 says or does something to trigger them back into talking about him againâŚunfortunately for the dems, their spurious and exaggerated verbal demonisation of Trump is wearing thin with middle left voters and they are now effectively demonising themselves to their middle left constituency by their unethical and criminal actions.

I have to disagree. They want him in the light. Much easier to defeat him in election then others.

Yeah the reality is that the circus that is about to ensue will bolster Trump with his Base. It probably kills DeSantisâ chances because Trump will get all the news oxygen for the next year with a potential trial.
We shall see. It will be very interesting to watch the poll results and how this affects Trump v DeSantis.
Pence isnât going to be the veep, DeSantis might not turn it down
That would be a riot.
Because the Electoral College Electors canât vote for President and Vice President if they are from the same state. So that means:
- One will not have those votes counted in their totals, or
- One will have to move out of state as a permanent resident prior to the election.
So Trump has to move out (which he will never do) or DeSantis would have to resign as Governor and move out (which he will never do). It would be hilarious.
