The America PAC has reportedly received suspicious data from canvassers, with evidence that some have spoofed their locations to make it seem like they visited voters’ homes. Data leaks earlier this month revealed that around 24% of door-knocks in Arizona and 25% in Nevada had been marked as “unusual”, indicating they may have been fake. The PAC has spent over $54 million on vendor Blitz Canvassing in these states, which is also working in Michigan and North Carolina.
The Trump campaign strategised to appeal to male voters by increasing levels of misogyny and vilifying women. Signs of their misogynistic ethos included inappropriate “jokes”, devaluations of women and rape threats towards celebrities who expressed anti-Trump sentiments. This misogynistic narrative is part of a broader strategy to normalise sexist behaviour and appeal to infrequent male voters in the hope they will give Trump their votes.
The recent revelations about the potentially fake ground game employed by the Trump campaign in key states have shed light on the inner workings of a campaign that is desperate to win at any cost. With a quarter of door-knocks flagged as potentially fraudulent, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Trump campaign may not be as effective as they claim to be.
Outsourcing the bulk of the ground game to America Pac, a political action committee founded by Elon Musk, has only exacerbated the issue. The paid canvassers employed by this PAC may not have the same level of investment in the campaign’s success as dedicated volunteers or campaign staff.… Continue reading
I can’t believe it. The Trump campaign was hacked again in the last 10 days. It seems like they just keep making the password “password” or something equally as simple. It’s truly baffling that the campaign that claims to want to protect this country can’t even protect their own emails. The fact that Rudy Giuliani is supposedly in charge of cybersecurity for the campaign is nothing short of comedic. How can they expect to carry out any of their big plans when they can’t handle the basic day-to-day security measures?
When I hear about these hacking incidents, I can’t help but chuckle.… Continue reading
It’s quite telling when even the visuals used in a campaign ad reflect the incompetence and ignorance of the administration behind it. The recent blunder of using a picture of Georgia the country instead of Georgia the state in a Facebook ad is not only laughable but also speaks volumes about the lack of attention to detail and carelessness of Trump’s campaign team. It’s almost as if they couldn’t be bothered to do a quick Google search to ensure they were using the correct imagery for a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election.
One can’t help but wonder about the motivations behind such a mistake.… Continue reading
It’s truly alarming to see the chaos and terror that has descended upon the city of Springfield, Ohio. The repeated bomb threats, targeting medical facilities and other locations, have left the community in a state of fear and uncertainty. The mayor’s plea for help, not hate, resonates deeply in the face of such senseless violence.
The root of these threats lies in the inflammatory rhetoric of those in positions of power. The Trump campaign’s descent into racially charged fear-mongering is a dangerous path to tread. The deliberate spread of misinformation and baseless accusations has real-life consequences, as seen in the upheaval in Springfield.… Continue reading
It’s about time that the Trump campaign is being required to pay an upfront deposit of $145,000 before their Thursday event in Tucson. Frankly, it’s surprising that anyone would extend credit to a known bill dodger like Trump. Requiring a substantial security deposit seems like the only logical option when dealing with someone who has a long history of refusing to pay what they owe.
As a resident of Tucson, I can’t help but feel relieved that measures are being taken to ensure that the Trump campaign fulfills their financial obligations. After all, he still owes us money from his last rally, and we can’t afford to be taken advantage of again.… Continue reading
The recent speech delivered by a Trump ally has sparked quite a conversation about the current state of the campaign. It’s perplexing to see how the race remains so close despite the evident challenges faced by the team. The ally in question has been described in various unflattering ways, likened to a bizarre mix of characters and criticized for her appearance. It’s interesting how individuals in the orbit of the Trump family seem to undergo changes and face scrutiny that reflect negatively on the entire group.
The lackluster response to the ally’s speech, with only a few people clapping when prompted, highlights a sense of disconnect and fatigue among the audience.… Continue reading
As an overseas observer, it baffles me how the Trump campaign can believe they have a shot at winning any states, let alone those leaning blue like New Hampshire and California. The leaked insider email claiming that the campaign no longer thinks New Hampshire is winnable and is pulling back from the state speaks volumes. This decision reeks of fear and desperation, as Trump seems to be abandoning any hope of expanding the map and is now solely focusing on Pennsylvania and Georgia as his potential routes to victory.
The fact that Trump has shifted away from investing money in blue-leaning states like New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Jersey, which Biden won by a substantial margin in 2020, indicates a lack of confidence in his ability to secure a win.… Continue reading
