2024 Presidential election Bill Clinton once said Americans prefer “strong and wrong” to “weak and right”. On Thursday, those two options were on the debate stage. Every Democrat, including Biden, tirelessly repeats that democracy is on the ballot this November. They argue that the stakes for America are existential. The question now is whether they have the ruthlessness to act on those beliefs. Edward Luce, Financial Times, June 28, 2024, after Biden's disastrous performnce in the first 2024 presidential debate  © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election But you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that we have — no one has tried to kill  Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill  Donald Trump in the last couple of months. I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric, and needs to cut this crap out. J. D. Vance, September 16, 2024 [Thomas Matthew Crooks, the first attempted assassin was a registered Republican; Ryan Wesley Routh, the second, was a registered independent who voted for Trump in 2016 but was “disappointed” by him by 2020] © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election Christians, get out and vote. Just this time. You wont have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm not Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote.  In four years, you don't have to vote again. Donald Trump, promising what? A Christian coup? © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election Close to half of Republicans (46%) and more than a quarter of Democrats (27%)  said they would not consider 2024 election  results to be legitimate if the other party’s presidential candidate won. … Some of them would go further:  14% of Republicans and 11% of Democrats surveyed said they would take action to overturn the 2024 election based solely on who is declared the winner.

2024 Presidential election The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election.  Nikki Haley, January 2024  © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election From the moment I got into the race,  the decision that I made was really simple. I would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win. I feel no differently today because this is a fight for the soul of our party and the soul of our country. Chris Christie, Windham, NH, January 10, 2024, announcing he's suspending his campaign © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election The great thing about America is, here kings and dictators do not rule — the people do. History is in your hands. The power’s in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands. You just have to keep faith — keep the faith — and remember who we are. Joe Biden, speech announcing he's withdrawing from the race for the White House © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election He [Biden] is caught in a generational paradox. He does not, in electoral terms, actually repre- sent the boomers: a majority of “old white people” voted for Trump in 2020 and will, if given the chance, surely do so again in 2024. But he can be seen nonetheless as a represen- tative boomer figure, the most prominent and powerful embodiment of the demographic  group that has dominated American wealth, poli- tics, and culture since the 1970s. He suffers on both sides of this contradiction — most of his own generation does not identify with him, but many younger Americans identify him with  the  age-related injustices that have shaped their lives. It is this incongruity that makes Biden so vulnerable. Being the old white man brings him no rewards, only resentments. And resentment is the medium in which Trump thrives.

2024 Presidential election How refreshing it is to see a president of the United States at an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying, “All rise.” Colin Jost, featured entertainer, 2024 White House correspondents' dinner © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election I like Tucker a lot! I guess I would, I think I say I would. He's got great common sense. Donald Trump,  responding when asked if he would consider Tucker Carlson to be his running mate in 2024 © 2023 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election I think that we have to take Donald Trump very seriously. We have to take seriously the extent to which you have now got a Putin wing of the Republican Party. I believe the issue this election cycle is making sure the Putin wing of the Republican Party does not take over the West Wing of the White House. Liz Cheney © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House, right? Our little secret is having a big impact. Donald Trump, alluding to an agremeent he has with Mike Johnson, the Republican House speaker, to ensure that the House of Representatives guarantees Republicans win any contested election for the House or the presidency © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election I’ve always said that if there came a point in time in this race where I couldn’t see a path to accomplishing that goal [of winning the nomination and defaating Biden], that I would get out. And it’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination, which is why I’m suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States. … I also know though it’s the right thing for me to do because I want to promise you this. I’m going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be President of the United States again, and that’s more important than my own personal ambition. Chris Christie, Windham, NH, January 10, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election  I would say to Jack Smith that right now, you guys are the hunters. On January 20th [2025], you’re going to become the hunted. Mike Davis, who promises to preside over a “three-week reign of terror” during which he'll indict Trump’s opponents and purge them from the federal government in his role as “acting attorney general” in Trump's second administration © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election [I]f Donald Trump becomes the nominee of this party, the moment that it happened was when Nikki Haley, and Ron DeSantis, and Tim Scott and Mike Pence and Doug Burgum and Vivek Ramaswamy stood on that stage in Milwaukee in August, and when we were asked would you support someone who is a convicted felon to be President of the United States, they raised their hands. Give Ron credit. He had to look at everybody  else first to see if he wanted to raise his hand, but then he raised his hand. Kind of like  cheating off somebody’s paper in high school.  They raised their hands and I did not and will not and I cannot countenance that behavior.

2024 Presidential election If I don’t win this election, and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens because at 40 percent that means 60 percent of the people are voting for the enemy.

2024 Presidential election If I’m going to be president of this country I’m going to put a 100, 200, 2,000 percent tariff. They’re not going to sell one car into the United States. Donald Trump © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election If we don’t win on November 5,  I think our country is going to cease to exist. It could be the last election we ever have. I actually mean that. Donald Trump © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election I'm telling you: these guys are weird. Tim Walz, 11:27 PM – Jul 23, 2024, on Donald Trump and J. D. Vance © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election In 2020, when Donald Trump questioned the results of the election, the courts decisively rejected his efforts, over and over again. In 2024, the judicial branch may be unable to save our democracy. The rogues are no longer amateurs. They have spent the last four years going pro, meticulously devising a strategy across multiple fronts — state legislatures, Congress, executive branches and elected judges — to overturn any close election. Neal Katyal, New York Times, October 16, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term. Joe Biden, July 21, 2024,  announcing he's ending his reelection campaign © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election Let’s not forget there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters who care about Hamas. Haim Saban, billionaire donor to the Biden Victory Fund in an email to Biden © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this. Joe Biden, 2:13 PM – Jul 21, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site.  It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.  The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. Taylor Swift, September 10, 2024, minutes after the Trump-Harris debate © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election That is a damning non answer. Tim Walz, responding to J. D. Vance's refusal to answer the question, “Did he [Trump] lose the 2020 election?” © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election That objective [in spouting the Big Lie] is  not somehow to rescind the 2020 election, as they would have us believe. That’s constitutionally impossible. Trump’s and the Republicans' far more ambitious objective is to execute succesfully in 2024 the very same plan they failed in executing in 2020 and to overturn the 2024 election if Trump or his anointed successor loses again in the next quadrennial contest. The last presidential election was a dry run for the next. J. Michael Luttig, April 27, 2022 © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election To understand the threat today, you have to see with clear eyes what happened, what is still happening after the 2020 election. The charlatans and cranks who filed lawsuits and led public spectacles on Trump's behalf were sideshows. They distracted from the main event: a systematic effort to nullify the election results and then reverse them. As milestones passed — individual certification by states, the meeting of the Electoral College on December 14 — Trump’s hand grew weaker. But he played it strategically throughout. The more we learn about January 6, the clearer the conclusion becomes that it was the last gambit in a soundly conceived campaign — one that provides a blueprint for 2024. Barton Gellman, The Atlantic, January/February 2022 © 2021 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass.

2024 Presidential election Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, implicitly appeal to a more symbolic notion of representation: however complex and diverse American society might seem to be, its essential form is male, white, and at least culturally Christian. This has always been so in the past, and must always be so in the future. If demography, and therefore democracy, is flowing away from this eternal truth, then democracy must be frozen in time. Fintan O'Toole, New York Review of Books, September 19, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election A Trump victory is likely to mean at least the temporary suspension of American democracy as we have known it. Robert Kagan, Washington Post, September 23, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
2024 Presidential election We have to decide: Do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice and democracy? In this moment, can we see those we disagree with not as enemies but as, I mean, fellow Americans — can we do that? Does character in public life still matter? Joe Biden, speech announcing he's withdrawing from the race for the White House © 2024 Kwiple.com
 
2024 Presidential election What s truly strange is not just Trump's chronological age but the anachronistic vision in which only white men who plant their seed in fertile women are authentic citizens and legitimate rulers.
