Stop it dude or you will qualify for a post election Sweetcell Report!
In the last two days polls seem wacky. One pollster will have Harris down 6 in GA but up 3 in NC! Marist has Harris up 5 nationally. Let’s hope for the best

The bigger and amorphous question is, what the hell is this country at this point. I consider myself pro capitalism but believe strongly in regulations. That's an aside to say that in country full of billionaires, it seems like they are just a reflection of who we are increasingly becoming as a whole, in that so many people seem more than willing to step on, throw out, or deny to others whatever than can, if it means one more thing for themselves. Really, how much does any one person need to live even a great, or amazing life. At what point are our American billionaires on par with people like the house of Saud or Putin… Diddy's a billionaire, right?
Sure, people are hurting here and a lot of us are struggling to some degree (either to afford good health and health care, a future for ourselves and/or our family or just to get by) but that means we're willing to bare-facedly be so cruel. Yes, we have had slavery and Jim Crow laws and American Nazis and the KKK, but there are less and less people whole heartedly disavowing those elements of their coalition, if it means that they personally might get something, even if that something is a feeling of vindication. I have always believed, at different times and in different ways, that this country, even with the fucked up things that we've done on whole, was aiming towards a brighter ideology. Now I think that we could replace the American flag with an image of a gold plated boot stepping on baby to grab a dollar. Fuck everyone else, I gotta look out for me.
Random aside, subconsciously my brain kept capitalizing "billionaire". Why, like it's a bestowed title?

I do think the GQP was test marketing this design, but some people wanted the boot to be a Trump Sneaker and some felt, the baby should be an immigrant and a smaller, but vocal group said it should be Dogecoin the baby was reaching for
But I do think they were unanimous in their support for the motto

A notable fact is Harris seems to be performing worse than the D senate candidate in a particular state be it an incumbent like Casey or a new candidate like Slotkin. If the polls are anything to go by….
Now possible explanations could be she is not a popular candidate and/or Trump IS a popular candidate. Am not sure how we win the election if 3-5 out of 100 voters go for the democrat candidate for Senate while voting Trump or even abstaining. In Michigan one would be tempted to say it must be the Palestine supporters unhappy over the Biden policy but Slotkin is Jewish.
But looking at the democrat senate candidates Harris seems to be underperforming them everywhere it matters (ie. MI, WI, PA, AZ, NV).

If Trump wins, how many months before he is replaced by Vance?

Why do people always say these things? The first time he won people said he didn’t want to be president and would resign.

Trump wants to be president more than anything. Why would he be replaced?

Fellow Republicans will 25th Amendment him. Vance is a true believer who will more effectively carry out Project 2025.

It is amazing how democrats underestimate Trump! It’s positively pathological. The greatest politician of our lifetime but we just can’t accept it!

They're shrinking the orange juice container size AGAIN, and still charging the same price.
This isn't going to go over well at all with the votery, especially those making 50K a year.

Lots of stories about the dearth of good polling. Lots of republican polls out there.

Whenever anyone asks Trump about climate change, he always goes off on clean air and clean water, which has nothing to do with climate change. He diverts to some specious claims about his strong environmental policy (which I think have been debunked). Why does nobody call him out on this and double down on the climate change question?

Would it really matter? Does anything that resembles sanity really matter with that POS?
