How does AIPAC play into all of this? Do they own Shapiro? Do they have the influence to derail Harris if she doesn’t go Shapiro?

It’s unfortunate that AIPAC has as much power / influence as it does.

Jesus Christ. Does Trumps campaign just give MAGA Facebook grandmas the opportunity to pay to post shit from that account?

I didn't want Biden to drop out, but now I'm glad he did because so far the Democrats have handled the aftermath perfectly.

This was my basis for my he's not stepping aside logic last week.  In my mind, there is no way the Democrats don't overthink this and screw it up six days a week and twice on Sunday.  But I'll be damned if they didn't just do this without missing a beat with Kamala locking up the necessary delegates in less than forty-eight hours. 

 

Let's ride!

Not only locking up the delegates in less than 48 hours, but $150m in BMD money and another $100m+ in small donor money.

The asshole who killed the border bill is bitching about border security.  

It's the easiest rebuttal ever and I can't wait for her to hammer him with it.  Especially if he's dumb enough to debate her.

Trump has to overrate everything he talks about.  It wouldn't be enough to fix the border crisis; he has to fix the biggest border crisis in the entire world.  

Because people crossing the border to bus tables and pick lettuce is way more dangerous than Israel/Syria and at least a dozen other examples.  Sure, fat man.

Yep, because he's admitted it multiple times and they can keep replaying him saying HE scuttled the bill.

These people are scared

 

The guy who was posing as a black woman on Twitter...

Also Ella was 15 when Kamala married Doug. Cole was 20. She didn't "raise" his kids.  I don't expect the right to know anything besides what they are told, but Doug and Kamala met in 2013 and were married in 2014.

Do we even make the top 25 most dangerous borders? Always out here overrating Texas in the preseason smh.

Since we expanded the post-season field we should definitely at least make the playoffs.

If that poll is accurate, I'm moving to Canada. 

Of course it's not.  It's laughable - we are reminded often (except when it favors Dems) that crosstabs are wonky.  They're usually extremely small samples.  This same poll has Harris down 2 overall while losing young voters by 19?  That's absurd. 

Things that will not happen:

  • Trump will not win young voters.  He will lose them bigly, again. 
  • Trump will not win the female vote
  • Trump will not win 20+% of the black vote

My "centrist" buddy just sent me a poll by the Winston Group in 2021 (president is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a Newt Gingrich lackey) saying how the majority of the population sees itself as "conservative".  Well, I guess we should just make sure we keep everything to the right of center then.

How’s that a mistake. Hes from a state we won’t win and has less name recognition than basically all the other contenders 

In this millennium, I can only think of 2 VP candidates picked to try and win a specific state - 2004 Edwards and 2012 Ryan. 

Cheney (WY), Lieberman (CT), Edwards (NC), Palin (AK), Biden (DE), Ryan (WI), Kaine (VA), Pence (IN), Vance (OH).  

Beshear is:

  • Young
  • Able to speak to WWC and rural voters, as evidenced by winning KY twice and even improving his margins the second time (5k vote margin -> 70k margin), plus winning another statewide race in 2015 (3 in a row in KY as a Dem)
    • Can speak to WWC voters you need to win in WI, MI, PA as someone who grew up in KY and counter JD Vance
    • He's also not scary to suburban voters - married, 2 kids, "heart of a choir boy" 
  • Telegenic, good looking and speaks well with the media
  • Not afraid to be himself and stick to his beliefs in a red state
  • Like Shapiro, he also has AG experience, which mixes well with Kamala's AG experience
  • Governor working against a hostile legislature since 2019

Not to mention he and Harris have already worked together on marijuana legalization

He’s the most tedious and exhausting man the world has ever seen. No one has ever exaggerated every single little thing more than he does.

That’s probably true. Democrats don’t seem to understand the importance of winning brand battles. 
The irony of course is that Trump put the greatest symbol of all up for grabs, the American flag, and yet Democrats refuse to pick it up and run with it because affluent white Progressives are too consumed with cultural superiority to embrace it.

* poll of men standing around at Hoffpauir’s in Lampasas at 230pm on a Monday afternoon. 

I mean you can talk about polling errors and stuff all you want, no one is erasing a 19 point lead in 3 months. It’s about what I figured once Biden stepped down.

Combined, those figures blow away rocketboi's pledge.  What he actually donates is going to be much lower.

Well it isn’t a 19 point lead on young voters. You’re so quick to want to be right all the time you can’t look at it and discern “is this true or is this bullshit?”

There’s no world in which young voters are voting for Trump by 20 points. zero, none, zilch, nada

Maybe not right leaning posters, but there are a lot of DixonHur’s friends who will be voting for Harris now that we’re sitting out before.

After the last 48 hours, y'all are really still doubting that there were a shitload of normal, not evil, not moronic people who were going to be nearly impossible to get to the polls because of overwhelming apathy? Really??

The only thing dangerous about South Texas/RGV is you might run into a jabroni Yankees fan in a silver chain and black t-shirt and drown due to all the wet panties around you. 

This was a little too oddly  specific for my taste.

I just saw a poll that was 99-1 for Harris +/- 2.  NO WAY someone can change that.

We’re in the top 5 for sure because of the big 12 schedule. If we had to play an SEC schedule we’d be lucky to make the top 25. Suspect defense.

I don’t see how it could be bullshit. Yeah he won’t win young people by 20 points but I could definitely see 10 or so. That picture sealed everything for him because people are dumb and easily swayed.

Yes, let's appeal to women voters by insinuating that the female VP only got her position because she had sex with men. Because no woman has ever had to face those accusations in the workplace.
