She needs to do sit down interviews and press conferences, I guess. 

Like said above, she's been kind of busy getting a campaign off the ground in 17 days, introducing herself to voters and picking a running mate. 

She's doing fine.  She doesn't need to let Donald  and company dictate how she runs for President.

I'll add to this conversation about war combat. My dad was drafted out of UT law school in '70 to go to Vietnam. Since he had a degree, he was given a desk job in Saigon. Didn't see action on the front lines, but his entire hotel was blown to bits by a VC kid on a bicycle. My dad was down the street when it happened but lost a handful of friends. Later he would get a nasty intestinal bug and had to be med flighted back to the states. He always said he would never complain about that being that the guys on that plane with him were in way worse shape than him. He was always shy about talking about his tour and never wanted people to think of him as a vet since he wasn't in the jungle getting shot at, but he still fucking served and did his duty, and almost died for it. JV Vance can lick my dad's taint. 

You probably should check with your dad on that.

Reminds me of my grandfather, who grew up poor as fuck in central Texas, and had to hunt for food. He always said the only guns a man needs are a .30-06 and a 20 gauge. He eventually became a .270 guy, but he maintained his convention that owning more than a couple of guns made you weird AF. 

Mine would have said 30-30, but yeah.

Dem consultant Culvert did a Miami-Dade poll and Harris is winning it by 15.  Biden only won it by 8, while losing the state by 3.5

May not be enough to win FL, but that's a real good recovery in an area Dems have struggled with since Clinton won it by 30

Isn't abortion on the ballot in FL?

The full-on nutters at the WSJ editorial board, the weirdest and most extreme editorial board of a major US newspaper for many decades, are concerned:

I'm actually somewhat surprised I haven't seen a WSJ editorial criticizing the Biden deal that brought Gershkovich home.

I'd suggest Kamala pay for Desantis to go around Florida and stump for Trump to boost those numbers even more.

Just like to remind people that Biden won most of the precincts that cover aggy

aggy has a much larger footprint in the state of Texas. To our point, droves of MAGA dumbfucks, whether they're aggy or not, would drive to Kyle Field for a Trump rally.

Will be interesting to see how it shakes out at the ballot box, but polling seems to indicate that when you offer Floridians a chance to vote on specific policies, they are choosing the progressive position. But somehow when you add people and political parties to that, they choose the person and party that are against the policies that they vote for on the same ballot.

That happens in a lot of red states.  Ohio, Kansas...

There’s a reason the only people complaining Harris hasn’t done a sit-down interview are radial republicans and not media members

showing up to a rally and voting are two different animals

I think it's more that people are more concerned for their own economic situation and their own rights. 

I’ve been in isla mujeres for 5 days and have overheard two different boomer couples talking about “Biden inflation” and “the economy”. They are going back to the hits because they know they are losing.

Not like the Trump campaign would have organizers there registering voters, getting contact info for voter contacts, etc.

Gaza is dead last among issues with RVs in that Marquette Poll 

Economy - 38
Immigration - 15
Abortion - 10
Medicare/SS - 10
Ensuring fair elections - 10
Health care - 5
Foreign relations - 3
Gaza - 2

It's tied for last with foreign relations for Dems and it's pretty darn low for independents too

Correct. I'm strongly opposed to how that war is conducted, but it's nowhere close to my top concern in this election. A few days ago, I posted a separate poll from either Pew or Gallup with similar results, showing that it was the top concern for only 1% of the public. Another one showed that even among college students, it was the lowest of their priorities.

Now, I completely understand if you're a Palestinian-American and you have relatives over there who are either dead, homeless, or being detained, why you'd be pissed off. But, as I've said for several months now, the campus protests (I think) have been largely counterproductive. And doing it at campaign events against a candidate who likely agrees with you isn't helpful at all.

“Hardly anybody in our party gives a shit about human suffering” is a weird flex. 

We all see the suffering and it's terrible but I'll be god dammed pissed if somehow, someway that's the issue that might help Trump get re-elected because soon afterward we'll be in the same boat. It's also less justifiable than what's going on in Ukraine.  The leaders they elected started a fight they can't finish and their civilians are paying the price for that. 

If that seems harsh, I'm old enough to remember the raid on Entebbe, Black September at the '72 Olympics, the Achille Lauro, and people blowing themselves up in cafes and busses in Israel, a lot of which predates Hamas.

In the spirit of retaking American patriotism from the traitors, I would love to see the campaign embrace this and other pro-Union (both the Union and unions) songs. Let's make the right lose their fucking minds over The Battle Cry of Freedom, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, John Brown's Body, and a dozen Pete Seeger songs.  

John Seeger? It’s Bob Seger.

IMO that is most voter bases when given the option....it's why red states rarely put progressive stuff up for votes but rather forced laws.

Polling numbers are very much bringing many states into play 

Down the ballot R’s are so fuuuuuucked 😂😂😂

What do you mean? Won't the National Committee simply deploy resources to the local level.  I mean, that's a basic function of theirs.

Fuck off Steph. We all remember you willingly lying for that orange piece of shit. You own a part of the idiocy that is trump/maga. I hope she gets run over by a garbage truck. Cunt. 

Sorry but the more ex-Trumpers we can get on the side against Trump, the better.  Bolton, Kelly, all of them...

Trump doing to the RNC what he has done to every business he's touched.....run it to the ground.

Almost like they should have guarded against handing the keys to a single individual who has only failed his entire life. And probably raped children.

When is the last time Trump went to an event for a down the ballot R ?

Trump doesn't go to events, Trump has events and they come to him and he calls them the wrong name, misidentifies the office they are running for or just ignores them/insults them.

I give you my 100% money back internet guarantee that Trump's 2pm announcement is some kind of swag/garbage he's selling with his face on it. 

Ooh, I'm gonna go with him making it all about Biden being robbed of his rightful place as Dem nominee.

Every time he's talking about Biden, he's not talking about Kamala or Tim and nobody outside of MAGA believes Biden's nomination was stollen.  And 80% of voters think it was the right decision (87% among Dems)

Bringing Trump down to 42%, RFK Jr. really is hurting Tangerine Palpatine.

As a reminder, these were the 2020 results:

I know it doesn't really work this way, but if we shave five points off of Texas, similar to that national poll, we're getting closer.

Which and how many counties would need to flip for Harris/Walz to win Texas?

Posted (edited)

If Texas flips, it’s going to be like Indiana/North Carolina 2008 where it just kind of happened because they got swept up in the wave.
