Clear headed calculations of Kamala going on Rogan will admit that there's a good chance she comes out of it looking worse than before.

Broader thought - Trump is right to be on the podcast circuit. Traditional TV media aren't platforming him like they were in 2016 / 2020. They're losing their audience anyway.

Podcasts have a huge audience now - bigger than TV, and podcasts are a media where narrative skill and story telling matters. If you're a boring person, it'll come through.

While I didn't find his podcast with Joe interesting from a learning/policy perspective - Trump knows how to keep a conversation going, so he's a successful podcast guest in that sense.

Heard who he credited during the podcast for pushing him to do that type of media?

[xenon]

The "very smart and tall" Barron Trump.

[Jolly]

Correct.

Barron started in the campaign coordinating their Tik-Tok stuff. He's now involved in most of the new media discussions.

[Horace]

I guess he was involved in getting Tony Hinchcliffe to perform a set at the MSG rally. Probably not a great move, but then I'm no political strategist.

[Jolly]

Possible. I don't know.

Didn't watch the video.

How many of Trump rally attendees were bused in?

[George K]

Harris is putting her supporters in cages!

LOL I highly doubt that was their only escape. Although if so, it would make a fun liability/negligence injury lawsuit.

Of course not.

I read (somewhere) that the fence was erected to keep the pro-palestinian crowd out of the rally.

[89th]

Not sure Kamala wants the optics of "fence jumping" associated with her, given her stellar border track record.

It's wild how intense the anti-Kamala rhetoric is from the pro-Palestine left. They don't talk about Trump at all, it's full bore Genocide Joe/Kamala on the socials.

[Horace]

IMO, genocide is wrong.

Yup. Do they really think that, if Trump wins, he'll be more pro-Palestinian?

He’s actually getting some serious Muslim support and endorsements this past week. There’s a fair number that just wants the Gaza thing over, even if that means the end of Hamas.

No, it's one-issue voters trying to affect the major party they have any chance of affecting.

In fairness, if I thought there was a genocide going on, that might be a one-issue voting preference for me too. IMO, genocide is wrong.

I would say that is a reasonable stand to take. I too want to see it over and done with as well. Netanyahu and company have made their case and exacted retribution accordingly.

Depends on who is doing the killing.

We seem to have no problem with self-killing a significant number of the prospective population.
