I am not sure how late in the cycle one can change their residency.  Trump would have to, as both DeSantis and Rubio are elected officials for the state of Florida. 

Cheney changed his late July 2000.  

That's what I thought when Lil Marco was mentioned as a top candidate, but never heard about it then.

This election should not be close and it would not be if not for the EC, which literally brings out the worst in us. Instead of trying to unite the country, political calculations rely on keeping your base and threading the needle of swing state voters, many of which respond to the fear tactics and hateful rhetoric and chaos pushed by the right at the rest of our expense. Imagine how different campaigns would be if the president was elected by popular vote.

I would imagine if Trump tried to change his residency weeks after the RNC to pick DeSantis or Rubio, the Democrats would and should sue. He’s officially the GOP nominee from the state of Florida.

How to Damage Control:

Everyone calm down. Senator Vance was just saying that childless women are miserable in their own lives and want to make everyone else miserable, too. He didn’t mean to bring cats into it and is grateful to Megyn Kelly for the opportunity to clarify his views. 

[kevwun 15,795]

So what you're saying is he's also had sex with a cat?

I bet he doesn't last past the DNC.  He'll replace him w/ a female candidate. 

And I don't wear hats but would absolutely wear a "White Dudes for Harris" tshirt. 

When I'm wearing any tshirt, the "White Dude for" part is pretty obvious.

I think she meant other conservative women friends who support Trump are now reconsidering, not that she was voting for Trump, in the manner of 

“not that he lives in Oklahoma freakshow and I am the idoit.”

So it appears Tucker is mostly to blame, err thank, for dipshit’s selection of JD Vance as VP.

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/trump-has-tucker-carlson-to-blame-for-the-abject-disaster-of-selecting-jd-vance-as-his-running-mate/

the same guy who texted : "I hate him (Trump) passionately."?

the same guy who texted in regards to Trump's presidency : “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest; But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”?

the same guy who texted : "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait."?

Yet she reposts every meme about Biden and Kamala. She's just trying to get Vance off the ticket. She's still voting for Trump.

In fairness to Meghan, its not unchristian in MAGA world to say that most immigrants are rapists and criminals. White women feeling personally attacked is unchristian though!

Yep.

And also....look, do I like Meghan McCain?  No.  I do not.  She is plenty piece of shitty, aligned with many of the shittiest of conservative ideas.

BUT....does she have some epic thundercats, and am I distracted by that?  Yes. 

I am a simple man, and I should probably be ashamed of that, but I'm too simple to be ashamed.  Quite the internal conundrum.

Was about to say, don't we have a child tax CREDIT.  Now I think it is kind of dumb it is at its least valuable when a kid tends to get the most expensive but I get the whole 18, technically adult, no "requirement to go to college" thing so that's a discussion for another thread BUT yea people who have kids do get a tax benefit over an equally positioned person without kids.  What a moron.

But...you're still not welcome to bring your shitty potato salad to the potluck.  Some things are more important than politics.

[Js1 85,356]

YouGov fav/unfav (no topline yet)

Harris 44/48 (-4)
Trump 43/53 (-10)
Biden 36/59 (-23) - woof, I hope this rebounds the longer he is out of the race, he's too good of a POTUS for that
Vance 34/43 (-9)

That is a huge bounce back in favorable for Harris, who was kind of languishing in the mid-to-upper 30s as VP.  Outrunning Biden's numbers by 17 points - he made the right call, for sure.

Not that I would ever vote for her, but this is what the gop ought to be leading with. She would be a formidable candidate against any democrat. Instead Dotard has taken over the party and the whacko nutjobs are in control. 

She sounds politically smart, but she cleaves to the tired old songs that used to rouse the hate and disdain. 

Kamala's progressive. We're moving ahead and we're not going back. Good.

Kamala failed on the border. Trump failed on the border and managed to fail on the border when he wasn't even in office.

Kamala is against drilling and fracking. We're going to face the climate crisis. Good. Looking ahead.

Kamala's more progressive than Joe Biden. True! The Republicans are regressive and how is that working? Good.

It finally feels like someone smarter than me is running the campaign. It also feels like people smarter than me and better speakers are beginning to steal the show. 

It also feels like there may be a Democratic rebirth to pull the country out of this hideous spiral to fascism.

Yes, we can! We're not going back! Obamala changes the country. Biden held off the barbarians maybe just long enough.
