  4. Essentially we are back to 2016. Border Czar Harris is going to take a 3-4 point lead in all national polling going forward simply because there seems to be no roof to her rising support in states like CA, NY, IL, CT, MA, and all the deep blue states. The cheering media portraying her has the second coming of Christ will have little to no answer in these states. So the impact from these states will push the national polling strongly in Harris’ favor. But Trump is spending an enormous amount of money in the battleground states that will keep these states close. And so election night will be much like 2016, when most believe Harris will win, and it will come down to whether or not Trump can get narrow wins in NC, AZ, NV, GA and one other, and avoid the fraud.

    Kamala is benefiting from 100% favorable MSM coverage and a huge effort to “reinvent” her from a failed, weak, ridiculous, incompetent, irrelevant VP into a juggernaut Presidential candidate.

    I have a suspicion that this cannot be sustained, and there will be a reckoning after she is nominated and the convention is over. I think Kamala’s support is shallow and media driven and it will be difficult for her to shake her previous positions and record all the way to the election.

  19. There continues to be discontent around the edges regarding Harris being the D nominee without any direct votes from the people. Kevin,O’Leary has come out saying 20% of the billionaire investors he knows, who immediately poured bucks into her campaign, already have “buyer’s remorse.” The media for sure will not report any of this, as they simply want to crown her without further ado, with no tough interviews, press conferences, and tightly scripted rallies. Consequently, It’s going to be a difficult slog for Trump to get thru all this pre election manipulation, plus any unforeseen election fixes – I wish him well for our own sakes.

  22. Here are 2 of the many super packs helping Trump.

    Allies of Senator JD Vance of Ohio are aiming to spend $45 million on a super PAC campaign to mobilize swing-state voters in support of Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, according to a memo circulated to donors.

    The super PAC, Turnout for America, is being spearheaded by Christopher Buskirk, a close friend and political ally of Mr. Vance who has been developing a donor network with help from the Ohio senator that includes some of Mr. Trump’s wealthiest backers.

    In the memo from Mr. Buskirk seen by The New York Times, Turnout for America claims to have trained a network of at least 945 canvassers, “who are ready for deployment” in seven battleground states.

    Mr. Buskirk’s effort is to target the following states: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, as well as the so-called blue wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

    Even more Democratic states such as Minnesota, New Hampshire and Virginia “could be added as polling and trends and resources justify,” according to the memo. It boasts that the group intends to use an innovative artificial intelligence “work force optimization tool” that will “monitor all performance data systemwide in live time and distribute individualized improvement advice to each canvasser in the field via text, call and email.”

    Unlike many super PACs, the group emphasizes that it will focus only on field operations and will not become involved with paid media.

    Mr. Trump chose Mr. Vance as his running mate in part because he was close with some major donors from the tech industry. Some of those contributors are among those involved in a donor collective called the Rockbridge Network that Mr. Buskirk created. Its twice-a-year meetings have drawn appearances by Mr. Trump, as well as mega donors including Peter Thiel, Rebekah Mercer, Steve Wynn and David Sacks. Members pledge to spend $100,000 a year on Rockbridge-recommended programs, and the group said last year that it had about 125 members. Its most recent conference was held this year at Mar-a-Lago and featured appearances by Mr. Vance, Mr. Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr.

    The group, America PAC, is preparing what appears to be a well-funded push to encourage Republican-leaning voters to cast early or absentee ballots.

    The group, America PAC, was created last month and remains fairly secretive. But over the last two weeks, it has spent $6.6 million on behalf of Mr. Trump. The group has so far made payments to two conservative vendors:

    About $6 million for “canvassing/field operations” to In Field Strategies, a large Republican grass-roots operation that has been paid by the Republican National Committee.

    And about $650,000 to Raconteur Media, a digital marketing firm that has primarily worked for conservative clients in Texas and has been paid for printing and text messaging services.

    Bitter’s favorite bogeymans are “Trump hatred” (because HE hates Trump) and ‘abortion” (which outside of extremists on both sides is not a major issue people vote on). Frankly, i have never met anyone, R or D, who told me abortion was a deciding factor on their vote. Maybe Bitter has met such a person among his wine sipping liberal friends and neighbors, but I haven’t.

    What is pushing the surge is 100% favorable coverage by the MSM that most people watch.

    The fact is Kamala is actually a WEAKER candidate than Biden on paper because she appeals to fewer demographics/groups than he does.

    IF Kamala succeeds in reinventing herself I will admit I was wrong. But at the moment I think 90% of her “success” at closing the gap with Trump is media hype, not abortion or Trump hatred.

    My claim was that Biden would be replaced, and his replacement, while at the time months ago was polling worse than Biden was, would surge in the polls once the replacement was made. It happens to be Kamala, which some argued was the worst of the replacement option. I believe had it been anyone else, Mark Warner included, the praise from the media would have resulted in the same surge.

    Also, people forget the Dems ‘advantage” on abortion is only about 15 points, and that people who believe there should be no restrictions on abortion are concentrated in deep blue states, in swing states the advantage is narrower or non-existent.

    Nah, that dog won’t hunt, sorry, you can’t reinvent yourself.

    Your claim was that the Dems would replace Biden with some “dark horse” (your words), and that this person would then become viable. I said, and I was right, that there was no such dark horse, and even if there was, as soon as you gave it a name, it would no longer be “popular”.

    The scenario you supported did not happen.

    Biden was NOT going to be replaced by any dark horse. He self destructed at the debate and THAT was the reason he was replaced, it was an unforeseen not a planned event. Yeah, I know some people say they purposefully staged the debate so he would fail, but I don’t buy it.

    And Kamala WAS the worst replacement option, that is why the Dem leadership and luminaries such as Pelosi and Obama and Carville, etc. didn’t want her. Had Biden NOT endorsed her, she would probably have lost in an open convention.

    The Dems are going to try to make the best out of a bad situation. They all know Kamala is an awful candidate but that is the hand they were dealt. They will try to win with a pair of deuces, sometimes it happens.

Some might be “pragmatic’ but Muslims are not known for pragmatism. On the other hand, there are Jews in Michigan who might view Shapiro as an insurance policy against an anti-semite like Kamala and vote their ideology.
