This is not the same thing

CT "And you and lurkmode had the audacity to say I was pulling from the MAGA playbook?"

as

CT ""Lurkmode said I pulled from the Trump playbook"

and you said that I did the "I didn't say what I just said"

that's why you added

"I mean, I suppose you could be extra pedantic..."

You can't say "let's be real" when you have to add a disclaimer at the end.

No that talking point is worn out because it's used too much. Trump won don't criticize Biden, Trump won don't breath too hard, Trump won don't dismiss some bat shit crazy theory about Kanye wining a three way race since Trump won that one time.

You just said absent the filing issues that seem to make it logistically impossible for him to win, it's not a stretch to say that Kanye could wind up pulling enough votes from both Biden and Trump to actually win.

That is a stretch and it fits right in with that stance since Trump won when everyone thought he couldn't, everything is always on the table. Trump won so Kanye can pull MAGA Christians.

Hillary lost white women. They helped Trump get in after the grab em tape. It's like Obama losing to David Duke because a large percentage of Black voters pull the lever for Duke. That doesn't go to the bottom of the list of reasons why Trump won.

SMH CNN and MSNBC is not conservative media and no other candidate got wall to wall coverage. Yes the racism helped him but that doesn't mean Hillary was not a bad candidate and he didn't get help from the media.

It's one win, even if he gets a second term, that's still not enough to turn into chicken little, scared and worried about Kanye.

You clipped it so I have no idea what you are talking about but if your point about recent precedent is Trump winning, then let me address it again. Trump won so be worried and scared is not a point.

I grasp the weak cop-out you are using to save face after you made that ridiculous statement about Kanye wining.

You are taking one election where Trump won and arguing based off that. Do you have any idea how that sounds ? You are using that to make assumptions, given everything that happen. You really believe Kanye could pull christian MAGA's away from Trump in a race that Trump was a choice they could make. Did you read what you wrote ?

It is ridiculous, pathetic, sad and desperate to write

"I think we're safe, due to the number of missed deadlines"

when discussing Kanye's Presidential walk. Have you read that interview ?
