They sold out to Maverick from Utah.  Kum & Go's will be gone soon.

Plus, they were fairly inconsistent in their locations and layouts.  Tons in central Iowa, but almost none in the far northern part of the state (where I live).  It's all Kwik Trip/Star and Casey's, or mom and pop type joints.  The occasional Love's at a busy interchange too.

Mavericks are good.

That is if you translate a ~1.5 point drop in Trump's margin nationwide. Would put Arizona around 2 points, Georgia 1.5 points, Michigan around 4 points, Nevada around 4 points, Pennsylvania around 2.5-3 points and Wisconsin around 3 points. 

That is actually quite in line with current polling in AZ, MI, NV, PA, WI with Georgia showing a tie.

This is Trump still up in all those states or down by those numbers?

Really worth watching in their entirety. Pete needs to be on every program that will have him. There is no better Harris/Walz campaign surrogate.

Seeing the Dem's rally around Kamala/Walz and avoid the infighting that was previously rampant will pay massive dividends in the coming election. I'm not a Democrat, but watching them set up an offense against the likes of Trump actually gives me some faith in US politics. Every Dem that I've seen speak, recently, has been clear and intelligent. I hope they can continue the momentum and that they absolutely dominate this election.

Those would be Kamala’s margins based on 2020, which nearly marches the polling we got late last week (AZ +2, NV +6, PI/MI/WI +4, Georgia tie)

I still can’t figure out where the “she’s very dumb” take is coming from. Other than the obvious racial trope- but they are trying to paint her as not black but Indian, so that works against the Indian stereotype.  I guess just pure projection?

I think it’s some campaign to make her out to be stupid and vapid and an empty suit. Because she’s an attractive black woman who laughs a lot.

Sorry if already mentioned, but shouldn't KW just ride the Olympic wave to victory?  With all that breaking and Snoop/Dre shit, not to mention the beautiful women sprinters, this felt like the most black pride Olympics ever. 

It really feels like in the last few years, black artists and athletes have solidified the way media views beauty and strength in this country.

I feel like from a policy standpoint I am a bit more progressive as I age, but in the short run, I want to be with the winners, and the winners feel like they are the mocha ones.

[Hank Kingsley 20,553]

I know most here already know, but just want to make it clear that ELON MUSK is the main culprit for why all this bullshit is spreading like wildfire at a much higher rate than 4 years ago.

Paid blue check marks, fake politician accounts, "citizen journalism",  and his algorithm boosting all of it. 

These Trumpers are fucking idiots and practically traitors, but Elon is feeding all of it to them via social media.

Taking WaPo's scenario, Kamala needs to move MI one to the left.  That gets her exactly 270.  She's at 255 without it.

Part of it has to be that SS wants him to hold rallies indoors, and he doesn't want to pay for the venue.  He needs to hold onto those campaign funds to pay retainers.

I really feel like we need to clarify which SS we're referring to when talking about Trump.

Goes along with the idea that she's not qualified which anyone with half a brain can see is not accurate. She has a lifetime career in politics and govt work as a lawyer. Now it's fair if someone wants to attack her as a lifetime govt worker, but that is also weak given so many of the GOP fit into that category as well.

Harris will be painted as dumb, inexperienced and a whore. Add to the spoken/not-loudly spoken belief that a woman isn't emotionally capable of being President. We all know Trump is well in control of his emotions. 

They will also paint her as the biggest leftist this country as ever seen. She was considered moderate if not conservative in CA. Which most likely puts her closer to Bill Clinton's ideology than Joe Biden.

I've never really thought about how many electoral votes Texas has given that we are hopelessly disengaged and systemically programmed as a party to believe voting D at a state-wide level is hopeless here, but damn we have 40 EVs!  Those fuckers will never win the presidency ever again if we flip.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,385]

While I wished it wouldn't occur, Trump will have zero Presidential immunity when he incites violence after losing this year. And any DA or US Attorney shouldn't take 2-3 years to arrest his ass. It should be the same day. When he calls or hints at the need of a violent overthrow of the US Govt, arrest him that afternoon. You can take time to present your case but there is zero reason to delay especially since he's an elderly man.

He’s not stupid. He’s going to announce he’s a 2028 candidate 5 seconds after Kamala is inaugurated.

Trying to find hopeful information that polling is more accurate this year.  Axios points out that the very fact that Trump was leading in so many of the polls up to now might be evidence of that.

If those ballot initiatives in Florida finish anywhere near the 60% required to pass, that's a huge problem for what's left of the GOP elsewhere on the ballot.

Lol at Trump losing Georgia & PA. You knew trump was in trouble in 2020 because he truly barely won several Great Lake states in 2016. Regression to the mean. The same logic applies for the dems this time.

Can we get an Olympics for Harris call? Lebron, Curry, Biles, Lyles, etc?

I think it's the opposite, actually. Half the country either didn't watch or actively cheered against the US for one or more of several dumbass cloak room reasons, including fake outrage over the opening ceremony, the exclusion of their beloved Russia, because Simone Biles has expressed political opinions in the past, and that some of the Black athletes expressed confidence which makes them "thugs" (while all us know what they really mean), including both men's and women's basketball teams (especially with Brittney Griner on the team). I saw a headline this morning that US women won more medals than US men, I can assure you the comments on that topic will be pure 'murica.
