JV actually tried to confront Kamala at her plane in Wisconsin? WTF?

He claims he wanted to look at his "new plane that he'll have after the election", weird.

Sorry, JV, you don't get to debate the Presidential candidate.  Stay in your lane.

Mike Pence was an experienced talk radio guy before he got into politics. Head and shoulders over Vance

As a white guy from rural Nebraska, who works in an office with white guys from rural Nebraska, the other white guys have had their brains broken that the VP with the same back ground as us, is not like them. They are absolutely fucking unmoored.

He also was in the House for 10 years and served as Governor of Indiana

Vance has a whopping 1.5 years in the Senate and underperformed big time in 2022.

If anything, if Harris/Walz wins, can we PLEASE start seriously exploring how to condense our presidential primaries into 8 month affairs.  RNC/DNC in August.  5 primaries (10 states each) in March, April, May, June, July.

Uh, that's because Joe Biden is going to CRASH the DNC and TAKE BACK HIS NOMINATION! All so he can debate Trump again.  Everyone is saying it. 

They've actually been saying that Obama will take the nomination away.

They really are a special kind of regarded.

Yep. They’re going to start howling on Election Night and will try all kinds of fuckery trying to steal it after-the-fact. I’m sure the hope is that it will come down to one or two battleground states that might be close enough to flip on a technicality or court ruling, or somehow have it thrown into the House for a vote there.

Just repeating the current right wing meme attempts constantly, while complaining about welfare recipients and illegal immigrants. (all while ignoring that we work in ag) along wringing their hands about people not respecting white guys and the social hierarchy.

Walz  really should just refer to him as Junior Varsity from now on.

Split Ticket did a Rust Belt only poll in the Blue Wall before Biden dropped out and after

https://split-ticket.org/2024/08/07/we-polled-the-rust-belt-heres-what-we-found/

July 18-23 (90% of responses before Biden dropped out) - H2H: Biden -4, Harris -5; 6 Way Race: Biden -6, Harris -7
July 29 - August 2 - H2H: Harris +1; 6 Way Race - Harris +1

Quote

This improvement is not actually concentrated among younger or non-white voters, as some had speculated. In fact, Harris’ gains with whites are significantly more pronounced than any pro-Democratic shift she sees with nonwhites, even though her vote share rises with both groups.

 

You can go see all the data

what if ticket juking becomes the wave of the future.  with hillary et al, you have decades of messaging making people hate you.  can't overcome that.  harris/walz, nobody knows until a few months out.  media saturation of national campaign dollars is able to define you in the short time span, can't counterprogram that in the same time frame.  sort of a plaintiff advantage in litigation of defining the case that is lost when you stretch things over a year. 

or we could just shorten the election season to, say, September-November like a lot of other civilized countries do and end this tireless cycle of campaigning. but nah, that's probably unconstitutional for a reason.

I still like my idea.  5 month primary (one regional primary per month with 10 states + territories), August conventions, September-Oct heavy campaigning and November election. 

Feels like by September, Trump will be endorsing Harris/walz. He has already been proven to donate to their campaigns and approve of their handling of their jobs.

Only if he thinks he'll get a pardon out of it because they feel bad for the sad old man.

This is old news. It was news when he shut them down. And the answer is, it's about grifting money, and the assumption his win was guaranteed and/or he's going to steal it. 

Yup and it didn't get the attention it should have when that occurred. Everyone was still focusing on Biden's age. 

This is what they should be asking his campaign right now:

A lot of us have been saying it was going to his astronomical legal bills. 

On another topic - apparently after Trump's interview with the black journalists association there was a mutiny in his campaign according to Rick Wilson:

Spoiler

 

It may have been on another thread, but the question why Trump isn't having more rallies could be related to the campaign's finances. However, I think it's more that he can't handle the grind but also that he's embarrassed by the small crowds he is drawing. Trump HATES that and the optics of seeing Kamala's enormous crowds compared to his pitiful audiences of old white people:

I think it's a lot simpler than that.  He's scared.

And I actually don't really blame him for that.  Less than a month ago, he came within a few inches of having his head blown off.  I don't think it's particularly surprising if that was in his brain when thinking about whether to do another rally.

He only does the rallies for fun, anyway.  I'm not saying that there isn't a campaign benefit associated with a candidate's rally, but that's not why he does them.  He does them because he thinks they're fun.  But worrying about getting shot in the fucking head isn't very fun.  And if they're not fun anymore, then he's not going to do them.
