No, he's not.  You are doing what a lot of people do: you see a problem and you attribute the cause as something you see as deficient.  But, if there was really a cause and effect between these problems and that deficiency, if Trump was winning this voting block due to economic policy, nobody would be talking about "white working class" - it would just be "working class."  Full stop.  It's absurd to pretend that this is an economic policy issue.  I would love to see more progressive policies.  But, the House candidate my wife worked for four years ago was a Medicare for All proponent, in a district that went to Biden, and she lost by 5 points.  The people prefer Biden's moderate economic policies.  It's why you don't hear M4A discussed at all this cycle.  It lost.  In part, because the blue collar labor union members were against it.

I'm sorry none of us care about Nevada, Jon.

I care about NV. We need Jacky Rosen to win the Senate seat in NV.

As has been stated by @Js1 and several others. Ticket-splitting is becoming less common. Would rather not have to rely on Trump-Rosen ticket-splitters to get Jacky back to Washington.

A good Harris performance in NV makes me feel better about Rosen's chances. (I think Rosen and Harris win with Rosen having a bigger margin).

johnson has just admitted trump is killing the CHIPS and Science act ….

 

This is the shit I don’t understand. Ignoring the inevitable Brisket post. Why would anyone want to repeal that act? There is no upside, even political or perception based, to gutting that act and costing jobs. Even billionaires are making bank off that act. So why would it even be a discussion?

Simple Trump thinks the guy is saying "who cares" about Biden.  no dumbass, he's making fun of you for still talking about Joe Biden WHO ISN'T YOUR OPPONENT.

this reminds me of that town hall meeting he did with a bunch of CEOs where he called him "Gavin Newscum" and the interviewer interrupted, "newsome" and Trump didn't get that he was calling him out. He started laughing and was like "this is the first time anybody has corrected me, I know his name" and the interviewer was saying "It's just that there's a crowd of CEOs out here who would be ousted immediately for referring to a rival CEO like that" and Trump didn't get it. He wasn't correcting him because he thought Trump didn't know his name, he was correcting his decorum and Trump was clueless as hell.

Because a democratic president signed it into law.

Because Trump didn’t think of it first.

Interesting article from the Daily Beast about mounting pressure on shrub Bush to endorse Harris. 

“During a live interview that aired Friday on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, Liz Cheney said, “I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out, but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would.””

Shrub’s daughter is all in with Harris. Of course she is.

Is it possible that W offered to endorse Kamala, but she declined it for fear it might alienate the far-left, leading them to stay home?

THIS.

GWB left office with disapproval pushing 70%. Trump or Biden could only dream of that. To the extent his endorsement would swing anyone, it's at least as likely to help Trump as it is Harris.

It's also very possible he is voting Trump, because he fucks with the whole tax cuts and privatization over everything line of thinking.

The Bush family hates Trump, remember what he did to Jeb? W is also on record as telling Michelle Obama that Trump's inauguration was "some weird shit." W without a doubt is not voting for Trump. He should man up and tell people.

Dick Cheney's more hated than W, so I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense

Mexicans in particular seem to have become more Trumpy, which might be what's going on in NVAZ

And South Texas. We ceded a traditionally Blue South Texas Corridor with a booming population and have done Nothing to course correct.  It's infuriating. We need a statewide candidate that is Allred/ Munchin light but Latino that also hunts and can look authentic doing so like Gov Ann whilst quoting George Straight with Flaco Jimenez endorsement.

I always try to remind our Trumpy posters that they're aligning with Texags, hoping that might make them see the light. It does not.

I don't think it'll matter much electorally because anyone engaged enough to catch a Mike Johnson soundbite probably already voted. Still, what an own goal; also, the bill got 64 Senate votes. I'm pretty skeptical they could pass a repeal.

If so, then I return to the rest of my post: he should keep his mouth shut because he's unpopular.

There is always a first for everything.  Lifelong coward painting picts of those he had killed to assuage his guilt and doing jack shit to improve quality of life for those he merely maimed. Coward ass coward.

I very rarely carry a gun on my person when I’m not out in the woods, but with all the nut bags around here I’ll be packing for a few weeks no matter who wins. 

Yep, starting tonight I'm carrying my .40 for at least a week. Usually leave it at home.

Could see this being the case, and if so as we all expected, W being the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now...

it’s not the TRUMP CHIPS and Science Act, but absolutely no reason for him to drop that news pre election 

plus Chinese investors have promised something, is my guess. dear leader needs his cut
