  1. He will use “reports of widespread early voting cheating by Harris’ Marxist allies and illegal aliens” as a get out the vote tactic and cover for when he loses.
  2. Apple and other streaming platforms are missing out by not offering a no-election ad option for $10.
  3. NV will come down to 20k votes but I don’t see how anyone thinks Trump has it in the bag. Rosen is polling 5-8 points up on the GOP challenger. Can there be many Trump-Rosen voters? Feels like a stretch to me.
  4. One thing to remember is that 2020 had 5 additional days of early voting compared to 2016 and 2024. While these comparison charts may demonstrate enthusiasm, I would assume that 2024 won't surpass 2020 by the end of early voting.
  5. I guarantee that there are some who were Jeb Bush’s supporters in 2016 and they ended up at the Capitol on Jan 6th and have a yard full of MAGA signs today. One step at a time.
  6. I actually know someone else who fits your ex-friend's description 100%, and makes me wonder if it's the same person. Or there are just many of them.
  7. Would a red wave taking most or all of the swing states put trumps win at 65-104? IF the polls are all off by 5 points of a hidden Trump vote, I could see that being the outcome. The no side of that bet is $0.72 which seems like a decent payout for an unlikely event.
  8. Don't disagree with these comments and since he's shifted to more outspoken opinions, I haven't gone out of my way to spend time with him.
  9. Have a friend who doesn't care one bit about girls sports but he's fired up about trans issues and goes on about boys in girls sports. He sees it as the govt is pushing the woke agenda on us when life was fine before this. He won't listen to arguments that the GOP's stance is a solution looking for a problem. A few of us are confused by his passion on the topic. I could see that these ads are not about convincing anyone about the issue but doing everything possible to get people like my friend to vote. That's it.
  10. 1960's Tarzan, Ron Ely passed. https://apnews.com/article/ron-ely-dies-tarzan-c178710bd441325a8d242b5349454df3 From Hereford and Amarillo. As a kid of the 70s-80s, I recall he was a game show host (Name that Tune?) for a while and it was always mentioned that he was Tarzan. the following is a horrible event for his family a couple of years ago:
  11. I’ve heard they can lose on some drugs by accepting GoodRx. They have the right to refuse but they may lose the customer and other high margin prescriptions. The real enemies in the systems are the pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) who are almost always the large pharmacy chains. They sit back quietly, raking in huge profits, and let the drug manufacturers take all of the public hate.
  12. I never understand why each party doesn’t find someone to put up against an incumbent that will easily win. Find a party loyalist and they don’t have to campaign. It at least forces the other party to put some effort to win.
  13. If he wins and she’s nominated, at least she will get grilled by the Dems in the senate.
  14. Good points. Too many people look to the President to fix everything. “Undecided voter Eddie here. Ms. Harris what policies will you enact on day 1 that will get me to exercise before work each day? I also hate that my backyard needs to be mowed once per week in August. Can you stretch that out to 2 weeks?”
  15. And companies can’t really lower prices now because their employees have all received wage increases that won’t come down. And they also have suppliers who won’t drop their prices. We had craziness for a couple of years but prices have now stabilized.
  16. And there won’t be any price controls. There are risks to living in a capitalistic system when demand outgrows supply.
  17. I dislike that Harris can’t just say that grocery prices aren’t coming down. I know that we would all love our grocery bill to drop 25% but it’s impossible and actually would be detrimental at this point. What we need is what is occurring where wages and expenses are finding a new equilibrium. are all workers willing to turn their wages back to 2019 levels to get groceries back to 2019 levels? I vote no to that.
  18. I don't buy the poll averages that have the PA, MI and WI senate races up a 4 points for the Dem candidate but then Harris is effectively tied with Trump in each. Yes, Jill Stein will infuriatingly take some votes from Harris but I can't believe there will be that much crossover vote.
  19. I have mixed feelings about Kamala spending time in Texas at this point. Obviously the results will speak to themselves in 2 weeks. Hillary tried to run up the score with NC and FL, but lost them along with WI, MI and PA. That mistake led to Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett. But if Harris' team feels confident with the EC map, her attention next has to go to securing the Senate. WV is lost, and Montana looks to be. Beating Cruz may be the best option to keep a 50-50 senate. And if there is some long shot of her taking Texas, that would end any real fight for Trump claiming election cheating. I assume that that Harris County offers an unique scenario of many voters with low turnout. And it might only take X hours out of her schedule. Wake up the next morning back in the battleground states.
  20. If they would vehemently deny that our founding fathers did not practice nor have the same Christian beliefs that most Americans especially evangelicals have today. For the most part they didn’t believe in Jesus other than his moral teachings. They also believed more in reason, logic and natural law rather than divine revelation. most importantly they were against widespread or large religious institutions.
  21. There has been long term rumors about recordings made during the Apprentice filming that the exec producer has refused to acknowledge or deny they exist. And while he might own the rights to the media, it doesn’t mean others don’t have copies and could release without his permission.
  22. As an Astro fan I hated Valenzuela since we were in the same division with the Dodgers. Crazy how that changed over the years. But I respected his game.
  23. As soon as PA releases one update where he's ahead, he will call for the counting to stop. He will be hearing about fraud starting to occur with the vote counts so the vote needs to stand as-is. Thank god he doesn't have control over any troops. I wouldn't put it past him to order them to take over vote counting from the counties and state.
  24. Keep the analysis coming. I'm skeptical that even a Trump-Cruz combo will do much to narrow the gap from 2018 and 2020. I see it being closer than 2020 but there are just so many TX votes that Dems need to find or flip.
  25. If it gets her off the federal bench, we at least get that silver lining. Trump will only pick an AG that will do his personal bidding so it may not matter if it’s her or someone else. No one of character will accept his nomination.
