It was taken last week, when Kamala as a candidate was merely an idea and not reality.  Bandwagon/vibes effect is real and not shown in these numbers.

Nah I think it's mislabeled. The overall in that poll is Trump +2 and then the crosstabs have him also winning Independents by 14. There's no way he's winning women and independents by those margins and only up by 2 in the overall.

MAGA is running with it though.

JD Vance is the perfect antidote to women looking at voting for Trump. He reminds women exactly what Republican men think of them. I love that Trump is stuck with him. 

 

For now.  Shit, I can easily see Trump pulling that ripcord as late as September if he thinks it would help.

But wait, I thought you can't remove someone from the ballot once they're made the nominee? Isn't that a coup?

If it's Kelly, I hope they've got some polling (that's much more reliable than presidential polling these days) indicating that people still go completely nuts for astronauts, because otherwise he makes zero sense and he'd have to resign his senate seat to campaign.  The astronaut on the ticket seems like it would make a lot more sense in the 70s or 80s than today.

He does not have to resign to campaign.

Kelly is allowed to maintain his seat as a U.S. senator during a run for vice president. While Arizona is one of the few states with a resign-to-run-law, which places limitations on state elected officials from running while serving in office, Arizona Legislative Council Executive Director Steven Primack told Arizona Luminaria that Kelly holds a federal office and isn’t subject to these statutes.

Thanks. Still doesn't seem like one of the best options to me. He's got no executive experience and no real relevant experience at all except for his very young senate career. If he's the pick, it better be because there's some new summer pop album all about astronauts or some shit.

I think MAGA will go with the slut shaming; Kamala had a thousand abortions and slept her way to her current position. This is stereotypical, but, sadly, I think it works with voters looking to believe anything so they can hate their opponents instead of merely compete with them. It's about emotions not the obvious pragmatism of choosing liberty for women or other citizens.

Outside of the cult, I think the appeal should drive undecided women away. I form this opinion not because I pretend to have some insight into women; I do have insight into decent people.

Again, I'm notoriously errant in my political predictions.

Fuck these assholes. I'm sure CNN will jump right on this:

Crawl at bottom of screen: Breaking News, MAGA GOPs calling for Civil War should Trump lose.

Hello I'm Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room. The the GOP is threatening war should they lose the election. They say this election is their last chance to save the country. Let's unpack that by examining what they think they're saving the country from and the extremism of threatening war. 

Let's get our political panel in here and speculate about how this will play in the polls. Bobby?

I think it's a strong message that could motivate the base.

From what I've seen from the Kentucky governor, he could destroy Vance in a debate, appeal to the midwest and Rust Belt, and appeal to the people currently voting against their own self-interests in red states. You have got to break the Rust Belt free from Trump's sway.

WHAT THE FUCK IS FUCKING WRONG WITH YOU, WOMEN (MOSTLY WHITE WOMEN)?  We correctly point out the Leopards Eating Faces tendencies of hispanics, but FFS, women....MAGA LOATHES you.  You are good for being indentured servants, bending to their will.  They don't believe that sexual assault of women is a problem because women don't really have bodily autonomy anyway -- you can't assault a "thing."  Wake the fuck up.

And a whole lot of this.  Kamala and the Dems should spend 0.0% of their time on the defensive, and 100% of their time on the offensive/attack.  Nonstop.  By every mouthpiece that will matter, on every outlet imaginable.  They shouldn't pause to take a breath until after midnight on election day.  Attack.  Constantly.  Relentlessly.

I thought women would lead the way after the pussy hat protest in 2017. They form the biggest persecuted group and seem more prone to united action than men.

Colin Cowherd made an interesting point about that noting how women have marches for breast cancer and other causes. Men can't be bothered to do anything about prostate cancer.

We're just sort of inert about most things. Maybe it's the sports heroin. Or laziness. Or lack of care about other people. What's a white man got to worry about, anyway? I'm generalizing dangerously, but I think there is something to it.

Go women!  As many may have noticed, I advocate voting for persons other than white men. Enough already.
