Is there a scenario where Harris loses PA and UGA but still wins?

I mean, if you're including scenarios like she flips texas or florida, sure. Otherwise, lol no. 

Seriously, if she loses PA and GA, she has to win AZ and NV and NC. That's the only path.

I'd like to see the evidence that Harris is shedding younger voters.

I’m skeptical of this, as well.  I think most of the disgusted far left has had their tantrum over Gaza, the border, whatever, and are back in the tent.  Kamala is wisely making populist economic issues her campaign focus because that’s the persuadable voter remaining in the swing states.

I mean, it's quite unlikely that PA/MI/WI do not vote the same way.  AZ/NV voted differently from each other in 2016 and NC/GA in 2020. 

The last time PA/MI/WI did not all vote the same way - 1988.  Bush Sr. won PA/MI but lost WI

Same here. I know Marist cross tabs show her having about -2 unfavorable (which is improved from August) among the 18 to 29

I find it unlikely. The polling for anyone under 40 is so fucking broken.

Is he uh, under the impression that the federal government shut down would stop democrats doing ANYTHING with voter registrations, which are run entirely by the individual states.

Literally, this motherfucker doesn't even understand the fucking most basic shit a 7th grade history student learns. It's un fucking believable. 

It's all simply posturing for the 2nd attempt to steal an election. Money in the coffers. Whip the people into a frenzy beforehand. All going according to plan.

She has to be perfect. Meanwhile, Trump can blather on about whatever nonsense he wants and can tell 100 lies and it won’t matter.

If she is not perfect NYT: "Kamala comes across as mean and bossy"

 I got home from the game late last night. Girlfriend is a UM grad and grew up in rural Michigan about 45 minutes NE of Lansing. We spent a couple extra days on the trip so she could visit some family and such. Man, rural and small town Michigan is more enthusiastically MAGA than any place I've ever been. Tons of MAGA flags and Trump Vance campaign signs in every yard.  We met a couple of her cousins for dinner Friday night in the slightly larger town next to where she grew up and their entire "town square" area looked like the 4th of July, except the flags were all Trump and FJB flags. If you just glanced at it, it looked like "Patriotic Small Town USA"...but it was 100% MAGA

Well, I may be starting to lean against voting for Kamala.  Why?

Because today I have been getting texts at the rate of 1 every 10-15 minutes of "THE DEBATE IS HAPPENING TONIGHT!  DONATE NOW TO HELP KAMALA SEND TRUMP TO THE TRASH HEAP!" (or any of literally DOZENS of variations of that message of "debate's tonight, send money").  My fucking phone is lighting up.  "Delete and Report Junk" does absolutely nothing.

Fucking seriously.  Just fucking stop.

now you know how we feel reading your doom and gloom all day, every day.

I can believe it. The left doesn't love her and men under 30 get radicalized by Andrew Tate and his orbiters, if not their own parents on whom they will be financially dependent for life.

That's less than 40 years ago. For all the marbles of democracy. Yeah man, I'm sweating it.

Redfield Wilton, which is a UK firm that leans to the right in their polling.  Also has NC with a Harris lead (+1) after two yesterday showing +3.

She's also leading in WI and MI.  

 

 

Have you just replied STOP? because that works for me. 

So does "gobble my crank you malignant shit funnel."

Well I understand your angst, if they didn't deviate from each other in 2000 (closest election of our lifetime), 2016 or 2020, why will they now?

And to further my point - in the modern political campaign era (defined as elections since 1952), the only times WI/MI/PA voted differently were 1988, 1976, 1968, 1960.  4 out of 17 times and not once since the turn of the century.

He must have been left off Ivanka's birthday party invite list.

Silver now has Harris ahead in PA, NC, MI, WI, NV.  That's an EC win right there.

It must have really hurt him to put her ahead in PA.  I'm guessing Thiel is going to be very angry today.

You realize 4/17 is almost 25% right? You think those numbers should make us feel more confident? They make me feel less confident than I was 10 minutes ago, and I wasn't exactly feeling all that great then, either. You're talking about those kinds of #s when the margins for victory were what? 80k votes across 4-5 states last time? for something like 70 electoral votes? Fucking hell, man. 

Russian Roulette is better fucking odds than 23%.

That would piss me off if I were running a Chik Fil A. Most of the people running them probably don't care, though.

Most of the Chick Fil A owners I've come across are actually pretty good and conscientious people

Bro, if you need a tampon, go ask Tim Walz.

It's not my job to hold your hand while you menstruate on September 10

That's because most of them actually do work the lines and don't just sit on their fat ass and "manage."

How often do you see the manager filling bags or taking orders? All the time.

It's not your job to hold my hand, but it's going to bleed all over you regardless.
