isn't it too late to replace Trump? wasn't yesterday the registration deadline to get candidates on ballots in all 57 states?

Oh please, like Ohio and Alabama won’t suddenly make exceptions that they wouldn’t give Biden

He’s gonna finally say the n word on camera, I can feel it, todays the day!

Yep.  Too late.  Tough shit.

He's the official nominee, even if he dies.

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

I laid it out in a previous post a few days ago:

• Keep gaining ground in the 'burbs, especially North Texas (Collin County was close to flipping; Denton a little less so)
• Flip Jefferson/Nueces (only need 1-2 percentage points in each to flip)
• Hold South Texas, Tarrant, and Williamson.

I don't think it's simply a matter of flipping counties, though, unlike states because of the EC. The votes are out there to get if people turn out. LESS THAN HALF of adult Texans voted in the last presidential election, which is far, far lower than other states. Just a couple of percentage points better across the board would make a huge difference in tipping the state.

I will say that I'm extremely interested in what the real impact of all the new population in Collin County is actually going to do since all the speculation has been anecdotal so far.

Those were the 2 states that had the earlier deadlines. No other state had an issue with waiting until after the DNC, as I recall

The issue is going to be would the party coalesce around Vance? Because MAGA may not, and he’s been a disaster, and some others may smell blood in the couch cushions

I can't wait for Trump to drop the hard R and for the NY Times front page tomorrow to be covered with stories about how they talked to a hog baron in Iowa who didn't like Walz which is proof that he's not authentic.

Testing it out on this thread since it's moving pretty quickly, but it'll make the most difference on game threads during the season. 

Can it automatically format pimphand posts into comic sans and change chainsaw’s periods into tiny versions of this?

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

Seems like they are short on supply of video of her talking policy, which they can cut up, re-edit, and turn into some sort of bullshit narrative that suits them.

Exhibit eleventy billion in the case of "Irony is dead, dismembered, burned, and then buried" in this era.

I mean...it's fucking fascinating.  Someone who has her job LITERALLY for the sole reason that she's the DIL of a cult leader....is criticizing other people for purportedly being non-merit hires.  It's the "my dad owns a dealership" guy driving an $80k F-250 with dealer plates giving a rant about how he doesn't respect people who didn't work and sweat for everything they have.

These people are weird.  These people are pathetic losers.

Lakshya Jain, who runs Split Ticket, thinks it's legit because Lake may be the the single worst Republican candidate for Senate in a state with a competitive race this cycle. 

Maybe not that big of a split (9 point difference), but Gallego is going to out-run Harris by a bit.

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

Ditching those field offices and all those field employees may have seemed like a good way to save money when they were running against Sleepy Joe, but now they not only need the offices, but need those folks who had extensive institutional knowledge, who knew the communities and knew who to talk to on the local level.
