All he needs is to remain in the race and court the crazy vote

It'll never happen. If he is proactively reaching out to both the Trump and Harris campaigns in August regarding some sort of quid pro quo arrangement, he has already decided he's out and he's negotiating for the best deal. Which I would have to assume comes from Trump's side, because that dumb SOB offers nothing.

I mean... his 2-5% may actually be decisive. If there was anyway to ensure the majority of it went Harris's way, it may actually be worth offering him something, as repulsive as it may be.

Vetting? You think Trump has any competent people in his orbit?

Peter Thiel told Jr that Vance should be the pick and it was done. 

I know it's foolish, but part of me likes to pretend that a person with a decent shot at becoming the next president might have a person or two on his team at least going through some of the normal motions of running a presidential campaign.

Harris should offer him an Ambassador to Chad. That’s the final and best offer.

Trump doesn’t pay his bills. Competent people like to get paid.

You don't want that goofball anywhere near the campaign.  Calling them a bunch of weirdos seems to have finally cracked the code.  Let them saddle up with the ultimate weirdo and see how that plays with the middle.

Convicted felon Trump’s Arizona rallies are shrinking due to unpaid invoices and drained PAC funds. Once filling massive venues, he’s now confined to small spaces like Dream City Church, funded by others. While Harris fills stadiums, Trump’s financial mismanagement leaves him begging for scraps. 

he should start booking doubleheaders with the midget rasslin'

I posted this because I have absolutely been, in my professional career, the victim of both sexism/misogyny and the fucking glass ceiling.

It doesn't help when for years, people have used phrases like, "Cry like a girl" or "Throw like a girl" or "Hit like a girl" to insult male children. Honestly, enough is enough. Men have been in power for 200+ years here in the US. We have a country that is more than 50% female, and yet the makeup of Congress doesn't reflect that. Time to let us be in charge. 

I'm here for it. Y'all got this.

This is fucking infuriating. How the fuck do they get away with this shit. 
EDIT: Completely unacceptable for Biden to sit back and watch this happen. Cut off the damn money or set Bibi straight. FUCK.
 

They weren’t discussing Gaza. They were talking about whatever mob bosses talk about when they get together.

Trump is going to take credit for a cease fire.

He says “this is the greatest commercial they’ve ever had”, then proceeds to disparage the fuck out of the company/product by holding it up as the example of the negative impact of inflation.

This.  A billion times this.

I believe America will be better off with women in places requiring strong, ethical leadership.  Especially in national level political elected positions.  Progress is far too slow, but if we can stave off this GQP fever, I have hope that a tsunami will hit soon enough.

Project 2025 was going to be their agenda, until the whole "Weird" thing came along, people started reading about it, it polled horribly and they stopped talking about it and had the publisher delay the book's publishing. In its place they rushed out that one-pager.

Media Matters obtained an advance copy of Kevin Roberts’ book.

That's statistical bias. It'd be great if you would ask her about non-response bias and how she thinks that impacts the +/- of a poll. I'm not on twitter or I would. My understanding is it basically doubles the range of error: + or - 5 turns into = or minus 10. Non-response bias stems from the difficulty of getting a representative sample of people to answer a phone call or respond to a letter, i.e. to get 800 registered voters to respond we had to attempt to poll 1 million registered voters.  This is a recent academic study:

I agree the vibe is with Harris. But I don't trust the polls.

Peace is definitely not in either Drumpf's or Netanyahu's interest. You're right, that was 2 desperate criminals, scheming together.

edit to add: "the call took place a day before a crucial round of negotiations in Doha"

If that’s accurate, then most polls are worthless as constantly within the true moe.

Trump's campaign could have put together some amazing research material on Harris or Walz, they could come up with a beautiful speech with some feisty one-liners.

But then Trump walks up to the podium and everything his campaign has done to prepare him for that night goes out the window as he starts rambling about electricity, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, how much dictators love him, and all the other greatest hits.
