  1. I don’t think anyone saw this, but Haley\birdbrain is plotting to force a new a new mental competency test that she wants to force Trump to take (likely given by a liberal) so that she can remove Trump from office via the 25th amendment.

    It falls on the vice president to enforce the 25th amendment to remove Trump so if Haley snakes her way, she will no doubt pull a Robert Mueller on Trump’s next term.

  10. Opportunity lost with DeSantis.

    The attitude of so many Republican voters right now reminds me of the opening scene in the 3rd episode of A&E’s Hornblower series. Horatio Hornblower is leading his men to ambush French sailors who have come ashore to get more water. His plan was to capture them, change clothes, and then row back out to the main ship and take it.

    As they watch from behind a log, the enemy approaches below them in a ravine, and one of Hornblower’s insubordinate and impulsive midshipman takes aim and is about to shoot and kill one of the Frenchmen. Hornblower reaches over and pushes down his gun, telling him, ‘No!’ The guy snaps back at Hornblower saying, “I thought the plan was to fight them!” Hornblower replies, “No, the plan is to defeat them.”

    DeSantis supporters wanted to defeat the left in the 2024 election. Trump’s supporters, most of them, just want to fight the left.

    I hope it works it out to a win, but with Trump, its doing this the hard way.

  13. Good find, DW. Yeah, that kind of closing in NY means Trump sweeps the swing states. I don’t expect the NY gap to remain at 10 but if Trump closes the 2020 gap by, say, just four or five points he gets to the magic 270 nationally.

  20. Maybe I shared this story long ago but it is worth retelling.

    One of my last campaigns for House of Delegates I had sent out letters to 780 new voters who had registered from Jan 1 of that year to end of September. Got over 10% of them back as “undeliverable”. Single member district, about 17,900 population, about 10,000 RVs.

    Decided to take one of them to the fairly new apartment complex about a mile from my house to track this person down. The address was something like “unit 134”. There were only 115 or so apartment units in the complex. Went to the apartment complex office to further inquire. NOBODY of that name was EVER a resident in ANY of the units. The county clerk on charge of voting registrations, etc. was a former student of mine. Good person. A good Republican. Went to her to further inquire. She could give NO answer to this puzzling issue.

    THIS IS WHY I AM SO OPPOSED TO DOING MASSIVE FLOOD OF MAIL IN BALLOTS LIKE WE HAVE TODAY. I know this is so small compared to a national race, but can you imagine 780 mail-in ballots being sent out and floating around somewhere and how these ballots could impact the election outcome in this little single member State house district?

    In contested elections for this house seat, it was decided by 560 votes in my favor one time, about 300 in my favor twice, and about 300 NOT in my favor once. The other 3 elections I was unopposed.

  21. Agreed, RDS was open to two terms vs DJT’s one term. However, there’s more to a successful presidency than the availability of two terms vs one. I looked over DeSantis’s policies, and they aligned with Trump’s, hence his early nickname of “Trump without the baggage.” But what DeSantis didn’t have was a broader picture of the world outside of FL. His one overseas junket was met with coolness by UK bankers and business leaders, who didn’t see him as having the necessary leadership qualities to be president. His forays and interactions with the public were awkward. Even in FL DeSantis was known to not return phone calls from officials in his own party. Most unfortunate, though, was how he irresponsibly burned through $150 million without having anything to show for it. He could have shared some of it to shore up the RNC’s lagging ballot collection infrastructure for the 2024 election, demonstrating an admirable skillset useful to enhance the chances of a Republican win. Such an act would have also enlarged his own image as someone looking beyond his own self interest to help his party nationally.

  23. Walt – Your story was probably repeated 1,000X during the last elections, as Democrats made mail in voting their cornerstone, and the foundation of their wins. It is why they continued to do well in mid terms when they traditionally did not, or were not expected to.

    It all comes from taking away “the cost of voting”. Im certain there are those would would read that and immediately wail and cry about there being costs to voting, but I do not mean, nor did the Framers mean, a physical payment being the cost. The framers though, in their inherent wisdom, that there should be some act associated with voting that took time in order to complete the vote. Some action needed to be required in order to ensure that the voter was properly engaged and informed.

    What we have become is a nation of uneducated voters, who not only vote for those who will economically benefit them via increased government largess, but also voters who hear a soundbite, get inflamed, and vote, with little or no knowledge or background of an issue.

    It is exactly what the Democrats advocate (the petty commoner doesn’t know what’s best for them, we, Elites, are smarter than they are, so we should make decisions and they follow, and those worshiping at the alter of big government/socialism agree).

    If you have a valid reason for an absentee ballot, by all means you should be entitled to it. But, it should require some effort and checks for security to be valid. But this idea of mass registration, mass voting by mail without any type of check to validity is absurd, and a disservice to our Republic and all it stands for.

    Liberals whine about letting everyone vote, and yes, everyone should vote, but that means getting up off your backside and doing the work needed to vote. Each citizen owes it to civil society to cast an informed vote as part of the social pact between a society. Those who blindly cast votes, and those who exploit this vote by mail system rife with fraud break their pledge to the community.

    Another comparison on my races and the national presidential contest today.

    When I ran, I ran on ISSUES,
    Never engaged in personal attacks on my opponents.
    The district was HEAVILY D (D 49%, Indy, 29% and 19% R).
    I NEEDED Indy and D votes to win…

    I am pretty conservative.
    On a scale of 1-100 I would score 80%-85%+ on my positions reflecting and being in agreement with conservative issues and positions. I was, however, a leader in my county and region during the Statewide Teachers Strike around 1990 (12 or 13 years before I ran for office and some conservative voters held that against me).

    I was considered to be a nice guy. Certain considered to be NOT an A-hole. LOTS of people (Ds, Indys, and R) who consistently voted for me who had opposite views of mine on various issues, but the still voted for me. They felt at least I was willing to listen to them and their view
    and at least I was not an A-hole of a person. And I had a good head on my shoulders and a history of trying to do the right thing.
    ************************************************
    Which brings me to Trump and the current race.

    I (a good Republican and fairly staunch conservative) do not think I have EVER in 30 years I have seen Trump speak that I did not think “this guy really acts like an a-hole” and many other times I have seen him speak where I said ,”this guy really IS an A-hole.” It is the persona he projects. I do not think he can help it.

    Unlike me, he was born rich, was a millionaire by the time he was 3 years old. After private school (again unlike me), he embarked on a business career. I do not fault him for being born wealthy or being successful, but many do and will hold that against him. He (unlike me) held no deeply held political views and had no political persuasion nor did he practice any in his personal and professional life. He would support liberal Ds and conservative Rs alike financially to achieve his OWN personal business goals. (Unlike me) in his voter registration he changed it any times from R to D to Indy, to R–whatever. Until 2016, when he adopted the R political views for his political gain. He got where he got due to his wealth and influence that such wealth brought with it. Privilege, wealth and influence more than the sweat of his brow…

    He was one of those big donors who helped create the “swamp”.

    What people relate to Donald Trump?
    How many think he understands or relates to their economic position and condition?
    Maybe he relates to people who have been divorced…and vice versa…

    So how will Trump do as the R candidate in 2024?

    How is it a different landscape than 2016 when he indeed did win?
    1. He is not running against Hilary Clinton.
    2. He himself has a record of accomplishments and failures as president for 4 years.
    Failures include:
    –helping to flip an R senate to a D controlled senate
    –helping cause the R House to flip to a D controlled house.
    –unable to broaden his coalition to bring legislative success.
    –unable to unite Americans
    –unable to finish building the southern border wall
    –ruling by EOs, all of which were revered by Bien 4 years later
    –continually attacking and going to war with any and every R who would say or do anything that Trump did not like.
    –failure to understand foreign affairs and saying Putin was a nice guy (one of Trump’s biggest weaknesses is his failure to understand foreign affairs any better than a 15 year old)
    –failure to take advice from others who know more about issue X,Y,Z than Trump does or ever did or will.

    Yes–successes too (surprising!), such as no wars, low inflation, high stock market, low energy prices, low unemployment, U.S. energy independence, slowing illegal crossing on southern border, SCOTUS nominees, etc.

    So why did inept Biden, dwelling in his basement dingbat, beat Trump?
    CROVID mail-in ballots by the millions, a CROVID crashed economy, superb Dem (legal and illegal) GOTV efforts where they needed it, a MSM who hated Trump, and Trump being
    a first class A-Hole for 4 years as president.

    Then we have Jan. 6th “insurrection” and Trump painted (rightly or wrongly) as the instigator. And 3 more years of Trump being an A-Hole in every way possible (stolen 2020 election claims without ponying up specifics, personal life, myriad of legal on-going court cases, trash-talking bad mouthing, and personal destruction scorched earth campaigns targeting other decent R candidates for POTUS nomination.

    Biden beat Trump in 2020.
    Which groups did Trump lose in 2020 that voted for him in bigger numbers in 2016?
    Women? Suburbs? etc.

    So, how will Trump defeat Biden in 2024?

    For Trump to beat Biden in 2024 Trump has to have a better ground game on the months leading up to Nov..
    How easy will it be to unite all factions within the R party that TRUMP has gone out of his way to disparage and alienate? To get all the people who were out working for DeSantis, Haley, etc. out to work instead for Trump doing all the door knocking, etc. nuts and bolts work needed to win an election. How many volunteers for DeSantis or Haley or whoever will just give Trump the finger when Trump asks them to work in the fall to elect him?

    This should show us how important it was that Trump was President and got three SC nominees. Bush’s nominees were marginal at best, and thank God he has one sunk. She would have been worse than Roberts.

    It also shows how even very Conservative judges will look at the entirety of the case, such as in the case of Barrett this time. Dems will never vote outside of their block, or against each other. period. Sometimes I don’t even know why they hear cases.

  80. I have long suspected that the “contestants” on Jeopardy! are really alien life forms that have taken on human proportions. NOBODY (no real human) knows all the trivial minutia that these contestants do.

    PROOF TONIGHT ON THE TV SHOW JEOPARDY! that these contestants are aliens in human form:

    They showed some bizarre clue about some person who was the first to take his dog on an air trip from Paris to London and they had to pass over what body of water.

    THEY MISSED IT!
    Did not know English Channel.

  88. Bitter. I agree. Like I stated before Barrett May rule for Texas in the long run when the case gets to the 5th circuit. I believe both rivers and Barret would like to see the case weave through the process and that’s what they voted for today

    I do see Roberts choosing the federal government as superior to the states rights. Barrett, I’m not so sure

  89. DW, your 2024 polling chart still takes it as a given that Trump will carry the NE-02 CD. Biden carried it fairly comfortably in 2020, and I think that it’s a Lean Biden (or, at best, Tilt Biden) right now. So if Trump carries his 2020 states (and ME-02) plus AZ, GA and MI, he’d win 277, not 278, EVs.

  90. Were Cecil Fielder to drop dead, it would not shock me. He’s been obese since his 20s.

    Fun fact:

    Cecil Fielder: 319 career MLB home runs

    Prince Fielder: 319 career MLB home runs

  91. Oh wow. I never realized they had the same number of home runs. How weird is that

    I remember when he got over 50 home runs in a season. It was a big deal since it had only been done once since the 1960’s…and yes, both he and his son shopped in the “big and tall” section to say the least

  92. Fielder got one of the most important hits in the 96 World Series. In Game 5 vs unhittable John Smoltz, he doubled in Charlie Hayes and it was the only run of the game. After being down in the series 0-2, this would give the Yanks a 3-2 lead and they clinch in Game 6.

  94. Meldrim – interesting that you should bring up NE-2, it could very well be the electoral vote that decides the election.

    I believe that Trump will carry GA, giving him those votes back. Let’s say Biden holds on to PA, MI and WI (A HUGE IF RIGHT NOW…I think he might be in serious trouble in MI), and Trump takes back AZ (which because of the illegal surge he may just do), it comes down to NV and NE-2. If he were to win Nevada, then NE-2 gets him to a 269-269 tie, which will effectively give him the Presidency. The Republican, no matter whether they hold the House or not, will have a majority of the delegations, and hand Trump the presidency.

    Now…can you imagine Liberals brains should that happen. I honestly fear for the country in that case because they will really lose it, and may try to get violent…which I don’t expect to end well for a coalition of pansies.

  98. Being there are so many “fans of DJT” on this site I thought the opinion of an illustrious playwright would be appreciated

    ”David Mamet is one of America’s greatest living playwrights and he is also a conservative. He wasn’t always a man of the right, but he went through a political transformation in the 2010s.

    Mamet is a big fan of Donald Trump and he recently talked about it with a member of the press.

    You have to give Mamet credit. He works in an incredibly leftist field, but it doesn’t cause him to censor himself at all. He speaks what he believes fearlessly.

    Trump was the best president since Abraham Lincoln. […] He brought peace to the Middle East. He closed the border. He made us an energy exporter. He had the best rating among African Americans of any president ever…. And the country was at peace and prosperous in the world. All of a sudden, he gets kicked out. And the world is a mess. But because the liberals cannot defend their position, all they can do is indict Trump….”

    But, of course back to the topic of how he will lose the GE, Senate, House because he’s such an awful person.

  100. Jan – sadly, your last sentence is absolutely feasible. He could lose the GE, Senate and House because he is an awful person. Imagine if he accomplished what he has, and did it while uniting the country? I understand fighting against the “left menace”…but he has no self-control whatsover. Whenever he does something good I find myself inevitably thinking what will he do to ruin this for himself, the party and his followers…sure enough, he always does.

    BTW he was far from the best President since Lincoln and hardly had the “best rating” amongst African Americans ever unless you consider 12% the greatest.

    I am all for giving him a chance to win the GE, but let’s also not resort to hyperbole, he has a massive (self-inflicted) mountain to climb.

  103. For the sake of the country, I would hope we don’t see a 269-269 tie. But a worse scenario would be rogue/faithless electors. If electors vote against how their state voted and swing the election, that would be bad news for us all.

    Per the Constitution, electors can vote for whoever they want. Still bad news though.
