The TexAgs thing where everyone is repeating coup is the dumbest stuff. A coup is seizing control the government. That’s not what happened. We’re all going to vote in the election just like we always do. I have resigned myself to the reformation of parties where the Republican party is now just the party of halfwits. how does it capture an entire group of college educated people in unanimity?

Biden's legacy
Also, while I wholly endorse these as the top 10, someone else with a very reasonable and rational view of the presidencies could rank LBJ nowhere near the top 10 based on weights of different policies involved in their presidency.

Biden's legacy
Interesting factoid. I count 5 of the top 10 that had a partial term in there.

The bigger issue to me is that you had to go to such a back bencher for this quote that she’s a Texas rep and I’ve never heard of her.

She should admit her situation. There would be more dignity in it.

He’ll be rated around GHWB. High teens to 20.

200 people rep this stuff. We have our idiots here, but they don’t typically get 200 likes. don’t like the coup? Vote against it in November. That’s not a formula for the most foolproof coup. It was enough in 2020. Nobody gave a shit about Biden.

Biggest loser: G Elliot for having a model that said this is still a coin toss when things were so bad in fact that historic changes have to happen.

No one cares about a 7MM popular win. It was skin of the teeth by the counting that matters.

lol at “you’re going to lose, drop out” being a coup. Or “you’re going to lose, we will not donate to you” being a coup. Or “you’re going to lose, I’m going to publicly voice that” being a coup.

Polls take a couple days to do typically. I bet this is post-assassination bump, not post convention.

Re: youth vote. They actually did come out in 2020. Likely the difference maker.

Not resigning and not endorsing isn’t ideal imo. Have to look like a well oiled machine. This already looks like chaos. An open convention will further that.

I think G Elliot is going to really have to tweak 538’s formula for next time. If he’s still saying it is a toss up (or even that Biden is leading) and the boots on the ground know that we are in Hail Mary mode and have to do unprecedented things for a chance to win, it really puts to lie that their model is worth anything. Someone pointed out earlier that it is more heavily weighted toward fundamentals this early before weighing more on polls later. That might be the issue that gets heavily modified.

That seems exaggerated. That doesn't look like a memory slip to me as implied by the transcript.

At this point, I don't get him trying to stay in. He has to know -- or the sycophants around him have to know -- that he can't make a public appearance. He's getting D- at best at every one now. How are you going to have a campaign and you can't do anything in public without embarrassing yourself? He can't make it through the weekend even, in my opinion.
