    I remember back in school when the vice principal got on the intercom to announce for Juniors to come to the Library for some sort of test for a select group of students.

    He said, “Would all of the testees please come to the library.”

  7. Its too early to know what’s going to happen in these senate races. And the ones polled by Remington are not the only competitive races. I don’t count out Hogan in MD, and NJ is interesting given Menendez running as an indy, Domenici is going to make it close in NM, as is Hung Cao in Virginia.

    If the Dems stick with Biden, and it plays out that Biden gets worse, and by election day there is a complete collapse on the Dem side, it could create a huge turnout problem for them, resulting in many of these Dem senate candidates being caught up as collateral damage.

    But if Biden is perceived to improve, and makes a tight race out of it, or if they replace Biden with someone who doesn’t have dementia, then these senate races will be tougher for the GOP.

But in the big cities, where the low-info voter is just pressed and compelled to vote every two years, you know the ones that get pulled onto the busses with the offer of a free pack of cigs and a sandwich, they will be harder to get out to vote if they perceive its already over on the POTUS race.

  18. Biden Dementia Catchphrase Dictionary:

    “They told me” is what he says when he cannot remember details, but wants to act like its not his fault for getting the details wrong, its his staff at fault for not getting it right.

    “LOOK” is the rescue word Biden says after a long pause, having rambled, and produced several half syllable sounds like “tss..s…suh..uh…[pause]…LOOK.”

    “Not a Joke” is used when Biden sensed that what he said should have produced some sort of reaction from the crowd, but the crowd failed to react.

    “Existential threat” is what he says to make something sound really bad. He has no idea what the word ‘existential’ means, but he can usually pronounce it, so that’s a positive.

    “The very idea” is used to setup feigned outrage.

  25. Tina, Youngkin is the pick with the biggest upside; take VA and it’s all over. A potential bonus would be lifting Hung Cao to a narrow win. The latter isn’t particularly likely, but it’s within the realm of possibility that n a polarized environment with Trump narrowly taking the Commonwealth on the back of Youngkin’s high popularity.

    Rubio is the only other contender who offers an electoral gain, just in a different way. FL is safe now, but Rubio opens up the Hispanic lane wider than the erstwhile realignment has. Him being able to go right into the Barrios and campaign in Spanish takes the message directly to a moderate to low turnout community that has been hurting but also remembers that things were better for them under Trump. That’s not nothing, and perhaps that seals AZ and NV, with potential for NM and perhaps even NJ if Trump can keep it close like it supposedly is right now.

    Either of those two are the obvious picks to win. Whether Trump chooses from that pair, I’ve no clue.

  26. DW, unusual as it may be, Trump doesn’t have to announce his pick until sometime next week, no? Could it as late as Thursday night, and have the delegates ratify the selection right there in the floor on the live broadcast? That would create a bit of drama, and might actually give people a reason to watch the proceedings.

    Supposedly Dem internal polling has Biden down double digits in NY-17 (Biden+10, Zeldin+3), NY-19 (Biden+4.5, Zeldin+7), and down one in NY-22 (Biden+11, Zeldin+2).

    Which, if true, I suppose helps explain the freakout about New York this morning.

    NEW: Four sources close to Biden’s reelection effort tell @NBCNews the campaign is suffering a major downshift in donations and officials are bracing for a seismic fundraising hit. Two of the sources close to the reelection effort said this month is on a path for fundraising to be down by possibly half — “or much more,” one of them said — from large donors alone. Sources emphasized that the donations were down across the board.

    “The money has absolutely shut off.”
