    This is APOCALPYTIC for Democrats in Nevada!

    The GOP holds an 8-POINT EDGE among the lowest propensity voters, and an 11-POINT edge among low-to-medium propensity voters.

    The gap is closest among the partisans… only R+4… meaning the GOP’s momentum is not just election day partisans switching over but a LOT of new voters compared to Dems.

    Here is more news you can use: You have to go back 34 (THIRTY-FOUR) polls to find a Harris lead in PA from any pollster that is not in this list of far left pollster: Redfield/Wilton, Morning Consult, Washington Post, and NY Times/Siena

    Seeming like the increasing consensus for Trump winning Pennsylvania will require him to win the election day vote by 11 points or more.

    Quinnipiac poll has him +17 on election day in PA…. Harris better hope that’s wrong.

    Harris said in Ann Arbor on Monday night, “I was just in Georgia. You know they passed a law that makes it illegal to give people food and water for standing in line to vote?”

    “The hypocrisy abounds. Whatever happened to ‘love thy neighbor,’ right?” she added as the supportive crowd jeered.

    The remark also got pushback from Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who mocked Harris’ short-lived 2020 presidential bid.

    “Sounds like Kamala Harris just can’t handle the truth,” Kemp wrote on X on Tuesday. “We made it easier to vote and harder to cheat in Georgia. As a result, more than 3 million Georgians have already voted — that’s 3 million more votes than the Vice President got in the 2024 primaries.”

    Could the October Surprise be a Rogan endorsement? I doubt it, but he sure doesn’t sound like he’s voting for Harris.

    “Liberals and progressives want the War in Ukraine to be funded. They want to censor speech online. They want to give the World Health Organization, which is deeply influenced by Big Pharma, control over what we take and don’t take. That’s crazy!

    That’s not what the liberals were when I was a kid. My parents were hippies. We lived in San Francisco during the Vietnam War. The liberals always wanted education and open-mindedness. The liberals at the ACLU let the Nazis talk and have a rally. They said you can’t infringe on people’s free speech because if you infringe on the free speech of people you disagree with, you’re being a hypocrite.

    The only solution to bad speech is better speech. We’ve always known that. Everyone has to be able to talk, and we have to figure out who is right because you might be wrong, and you might be clinging to this idea that you are right, and you’re going to do the whole thing a terrible disservice.

    When you have people who are supposedly progressive and liberal, and they are opposed to the idea that free speech is an absolute right as an American citizen. It’s very, very important because too many people can decide what you can and can’t say.

    Like when Tim Walz was saying, ‘Free speech doesn’t apply to hate speech and misinformation.’ Of course, it does. But first of all, you said misinformation. If that is the case, where is all the punishment for people who spread misinformation during COVID? Where’s the call for accountability?

    It doesn’t exist. It’s not real because they don’t really care about misinformation. They care about controlling information.”

And that view of Trump as being a nasty, crude man is also highlighted by this gimmick. He did better with his positive rallies, McDonalds, barber shops, etc.
