  2. From the last thread:

    Emerson just dropped swing state polls. They’re all available at RCP. The most surprising number was Sen. Baldwin only +1 over Hovde in WI. There are several other Senate numbers, all favorable to Democrats. Here are the presidential numbers:

    AZ Trump +3
    MI Harris +3
    GA Harris +1
    WI Trump +1
    NV Harris +1
    PA Tied
    NC Trump +1

    Summary: It’s super tight.

    If each wins the ones they lead in these polls, then whoever breaks the tie in PA would win it.

    And for NYC’s information, the premise is if you have a site where you are willing to post conspiracy theories of any type without, as NYC himself said, doing due diligence, then you lose legitimacy as a source anyone should trust. Nothing wrong with doing that, you can have a perfectly “legitimate” garbage site for conspiracy theorists and for entertainment value. I watch Hunt for Bigfoot sometimes for the entertainment value, but I don’t post here that the knock in the woods captured by the “investigators” must mean Bigfoot exists.

    The problem is when Tina and Janzam regurgitate the entertainment/conspiracy BS here as if it was real.

The families faced difficulties from Arlington National Cemetery, which initially restricted the time they could be there and blocked Trump from joining them at their children’s gravesites. Rep.

    Did Kamala lie about working at McDonalds? Seems unlikely given that she would know it could be checked. But McDonald’s failure to confirm it is strange, you would think they would want this to be known, free publicity.

    The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

    Further, McDonald’s has not responded to multiple requests for comment on confirming her employment. As the Free Beacon notes, that’s a marked change from how fast-food chains have previously acknowledged presidential candidates who once worked for them.”

    It could just be that since flipping burgers is not that prestigious she didn’t list it. I washed dishes in college, I didn’t list it on any job applications.

    “Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, a move that suggests that Mr. Musk is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics and get-out-the-vote efforts specifically.

    Chris Young, most recently a senior political official at PhRMA, the trade association of the pharmaceutical industry that does some grass-roots organizing, is joining Mr. Musk’s team, according to three people briefed on the move. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it was not public. …

    Mr. Young was once the head of Engage Texas, a voter-registration nonprofit in the state funded by major Republican donors. Field organizing has been a priority of Mr. Musk, who like Mr. Young lives in Texas, during his recent foray into campaign politics. Mr. Musk, for instance, at one point privately dismissed television advertising and argued that donors should simply fund programs that convince voters, two at a time, to back Mr. Trump.”

    Btw, I heard Vance on the radio, I guess it was an interview he gave on the Sunday shows being replayed.

    The interviewer was very aggressive on abortion, brought up the TX case of the woman who had a rare disease and couldn’t get an abortion, etc. She also kept trying to say Trump opposed distribution of the abortion pill because it says so in Project 2025.

    I thought he did a great job explaining Trump’s position and calmly refuting the claims that Trump supported an abortion ban or distribution of the pill. He said look, this case in TX is not representative, it’s one in a million, and I don’t oppose special consideration of very extreme cases, but the issue here is late term abortions, etc.

    Vance is an articulate guy and I think he has become very comfortable responding to the “gotcha” interviews. Unfortunately, I don’t find his isolationist views acceptable in a VP candidate. Both can be true.

    I know, I know, some here will say that “I don’t care what happens to Ukraine” does not make him an isolationist. I beg to disagree.

    I think if you take the polls as a whole they were much better for Trump before Biden quit.

    On the other hand the polls are much closer than it was in 2016 or 2020.

    In my view, to overcome the MOF in AZ, MI, WI, NV and PA Trump needs to be leading by at least 2 points. I think GA has probably done enough to prevent widespread fraud and the people tempted to do might be more afraid of the scrutiny than before.

    Generally, I was more optimistic about Trump winning a month ago than I am now. I see this view reflected in conservative social media too.

    The MSM’s power is still strong. Kamala had to quit in 2020 before ONE vote was cast. She didn’t get one primary vote. She was the lowest rated and most unpopular VP ever.

    Yet in one month she goes to being even with Trump in the polls if not ahead. This is 100% MSM driven.
