The entire world is watching in utter disbelief at the fact that this is a tight race. How? Why?

[keithperdue]

I'm a 72 yr old retired veteran who can no longer recognize the country I'm living in. A wave of unfettered stupidity has infected America & I am perplexed.

[erick-vtgq]

As a Canadian, I am befuddled by what is going on in America.

[SolemnBankingplc]

We’ve talked a lot about how the 2024 election might impact the markets. Has anyone made significant gains or losses in previous election years?

[mikeoxbig]

That’s not a rally. It’s an emotional support group.

[RchOSRS]

I’m not sure who I’m angrier with… Donald Trump, or the people that still support Donald trump after all of this B.S

[johncahill]

Let’s face it, you wait 6-7 hours to see a one hour speech, you don’t leave early unless it sucks.

[tarmacpounder]

While Trump was talking about how people don't leave his rallies early, people were leaving his rally early.

[jmda]

You can’t say you won debate while you also claim it’s rigged 🤦🏻‍♀️

[USMC-]

I cannot even imagine sitting there for 2 hours to hear an elderly man scream at a microphone about how America sucks and windmills are killing birds.

[ladykb]

I live in Az and there’s a lot of us here that DO NOT like Trump!

[susien]

I’ll never forget how disrespectful he is to John McCain

[mydrouno]

I have zero care anymore for anyone still supporting him after this debate and the aftermath. What they have done to the people of Springfield is disgusting. 💙🇺🇸

[goooch]

Cults are very dangerous, especially trumpism.

[AprilB-vyuq]

The fact that they went in the first place is indication that they lack a moral compass.

[lincolnsst]

They're leaving because they have more important things to do.

[lorettahawkins]

Any human that would wait 6 hours to hear a candidate speak in 102 degree weather is just plain stupid. To risk your health to hear a sea of lies is astonishing.

[jogomez]

Stop normalizing the convicted criminal

I'm from Southern Arizona, and have many friends and acquaintances that live in Tucson, including a fair number that went to that rally, and...yes, the heat, and yes, the prior commitments...but an ever growing number ARE also leaving early BECAUSE of the same "boredom and exhaustion" alluded to by Harris on that debate.
They ARE TIRED of waiting for Trump to get to the "meat" of what he would do for the people if elected. They ARE EXHAUSTED by hearing the same old rants and complaints that they've already heard OVER and OVER.
Incidentally, Trump held that Tucson rally at a venue named after Linda Ronstadt. And she released a statement about it that is a must-read. Here it is:

_"Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.

It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.

I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that.

For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.

There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.

Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.

Linda Ronstadt

P.S. to J.D. Vance:

I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ."_
