  1. Bitter….

    No, not even close. How was he able to do it? Were the agents all napping? Were their comms not working? If not, why? How did they decide NOT to have someone on a roof that close? Why did they let Trump go on the stage with a person of interest unaccounted for?

    And many others.

    Can you answer those for us? Is it okay with you that we even dare ask these questions?

    Enjoy the show.

  2. Does anyone want to comment why the polling seems to have so dramatically turned towards the Dems with the appointment of Harris at the top of the ticket?

  3. sure, but what polling? I expected nothing else from Reuters/IPSOS, but the Marist/NPR poll was a good one for Trump, when you realize its D+6 and Trump winning indies. The Georgia poll was done by a notoriously bad pollster who sampled only 400 LV on one day and has a huge 5 for MoE. Click on the Georgia Polls tab to see other Trump vs. Harris polls that are much better news for Trump.

  11. Furthermore, Landmark Communications poll of GA was their first of this election cycle. So no baseline of comparison against Biden.

    But the University of Georgia polling for the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation had just found Trump +5 over Harris in a 1000 likely voter sample, and InsiderAdvantage had it Trump +10 over Harris in a 800 likely voter sample.

    The average of these two is likely closer to the truth.

    I’m old enough to remember when we had pragmatic voters in the GOP. I was even willing to give Trump a look because my major concern is the US economy and inflation. I work in the financial industry. I don’t care about culture wars and i actually want to see republicans grab low hanging wins. Tim Scott was a no brainer pick or idk any current or ex female republican governor who’s not a gaffe machine…there’s a couple of them. Anyone of them would do but y’all had to pick JD Vance? A political neophyte with no punch and no appeal to any key electorate in 2024. This recalcitrant 1980 style politics will not work in 2024. Brace yourselves for a Kamala presidency.

    On the flip side, it’ll be the end of Trump. We can rebuild the GOP for the future.
