Pre-match: Can't believe it took this long for this thread, the 2024 Presidential election thread!

She is such a pathetic sellout and a vulgar opportunist.

Nikki Haley told CBS News that she was “on standby” to campaign for Donald Trump if he asked.

Said Haley: “He’s aware that I’m ready if he ever needs me to do that.”

 

White pages. But your phone number is true people search dot com and you can see if it is attributed to you.

 

It’s my studied opinion that his weave is closer to an AI hallucination, assuming a chatbot could take acid while simulating the experience of mid-stage Alzheimer’s.

 

Apparently whoever created this, asked google to translate into Latin…

Para ganar el “voto latino”, trumpistas le pidieron a una AI “translate to latino”

y así fue q terminaron con un cartel en latín al costado de la ruta pic.twitter.com/gpKEiZgm1H

Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

 

I remember reading the same exact stuff from people on the ground in Milwaukee and Florida. They assumed Wisconsin was in the bag and Milwaukee folks were begging for help, to no avail. In Miami, the GOP there got in good with a very influential Spanish speaking talk show guy who painted Hillary as a communist, getting no pushback.

 

I can only hope this sentiment will spread around more PA republicans.

“CNN interviewed two voters in Pennsylvania:
REPORTER: Who will you vote for?
VOTER: Kamala Harris.

REPORTER: Were you Democrats before?
VOTER: I’m a Republican.

REPORTER: Why are you voting the other way?
VOTER: Because she behaves more like a human”

 

Man.....The latest polls are not doing anything to calm my anxieties......

In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — all tight races — a new CBS News poll finds the larger contours of the entire presidential contest ahead of the first Harris-Trump debate.

• Michigan: Harris, 50%, Trump 49%
• Pennsylvania: Harris 50%, Trump 50%
• Wisconsin: Harris 51%, Trump 49%

A new New York Times/Siena College poll found Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris, 48% to 47%, within the poll’s three-percentage-point margin of error and largely unchanged from a Times/Siena poll taken in late July just after President Biden dropped his re-election bid.

 

I saw a billboard of a guy who said he voted for Trump twice and said he’s voting for Harris this time.

I keep hammering home that the GOP is going to be done in by abortion and by being weird for a reason.

 

Cherry-picking polls is never a good look.

If you take the state polls from that same pollster, Harris wins the election. But that would be cherry-picking as well.

 

Do you want to feel a bit better?

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

I expect Harris to outperform polls by 2 points or so because she is going to have a vastly superior ground game.

Do you want to feel a bit worse?

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Both times Trump ran, polling models underestimated his vote by 2 points or so.

LOL he always does that

 

Here’s a variable I haven’t seen discussed.

In September, Trump will finally be allowed to sell his shares in Truth Social. The “dump” part of pump and dump comes into play.

If Trump floods the markets with his shares, how will that story play out?

 

Latini Ite donum!!

 

I am not overly worry about Wi....Pa is keeping me awake at night though.

 

If he wins PA and GA it's game over (assuming North Carolina, Texas and Florida go for him as well). That would result in 269 votes, which is all the GOP need given the tie breaker.

 

She hasn’t had that position on fracking since 2020.

Banning fracking is something a Democratic candidate for the presidency embraces when trying to differentiate herself from a crowd of other candidates. It didn’t work. It would be odd for someone who’s served as VP for the past four years to just revert back to all the positions she held in 2019-20.

 

Better numbers this morning from ABC. Not trying to unskew yesterdsy NYT poll, but some of their cross tabs are pretty problematic. The NYT poll has Harris at 78% with black voters, that doesn’t make any sense.


“A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump nationally among likely voters, 52% to 46%.
While those numbers are virtually identical to the last poll, closer assessment shows movement to Harris in some groups when comparing all adults with likely voters — notably, those younger than 40, younger women in particular and Black people”

 

I guess that was too authoritarian and fascist for Axios to sanitize.....

Donald Trump “is now proposing two of the largest-ever federal arrests of people living in America, including U.S. citizens, if he’s re-elected,” Axiosreports.
“Trump is saying, with specificity, how he would increase the use of federal power if he returns to the White House. No need to rely on what advisers and allies say — he says it himself.”

 

BREAKING NEWS!!! Politico reports that Trump’s debate strategy is to complain that the debate is unfair.

Who would have guessed such a bold, new direction for Trump???
