I feel like I watch mainstream news and they constantly fact check especially when it's presented as a fact.

If Trump says the economy is bad, that's an opinion and cannot be fact checked. If Trump says 50m people came over the southern border last night, that can be fact checked as there is no credible source backing up that claim.

It's not hard to predict the lies, either.  Border data, inflation, etc.  Have the data ready and on hand for immediate refutation.

I keep expecting one of these nonsensical tweets to come out, and we find out shortly after that he stroked out typing it.

Media can keep fucking that chicken that Trump is leading in AZ and NV.  He is not. 

Its an average poll, probably still includes polls from July lol.

Julia Sweeney is friends with Quinton Tarantino, who did an uncredited rewrite of the script for “It’s Pat.”

This is some excellent work.

Anything from July should have dropped off by now.  This is an entirely new race.

It damages the movie, IMO. Just doesn't match the rest of it. 

Her most popular character was Pat, whose impossible-to-determine gender was the basis for Sweeney's popular It's Pat! sketches on Saturday Night Live, and a later feature film of the same name,[7] which was a critical[citation needed] and commercial failure, costing $8 million[12] to make but grossing only $60,822[13] at the box office.

I agree, the point is that there is so much noise in the polling world right now, I am looking at the individual national polls right now, they are as precise as any predictor, they show trends and they are up to date.

If I was Kamala I’d do the debate with live mics the whole time. Then walk out with one of these and blast it at him every time he tried to talk during her time

Seems like a good reason for the RNC to schedule a second convention to rollout RFK as the new VP pick. 

can someone be on two tickets at once? ballots w RFK already printed in some swing states

Look I get that polls are polls and people should be skeptical. But when Trump was leading in every public poll post-debate, they were gospel to the media. Now Tapper is saying don’t believe them because Harris is leading. And your sources are who?

She’s going to bring half a dozen of those if that’s the strategy.

Hopefully this is a self-own, causing enough MAGAts to vote for RFKj thinking it doesn’t matter. If we could get them 1, 2 on a butterfly ballot in Florida the election gets called for Harris by 10 pm.

All the media criticism with Tapper and how it's reporting is justified, but the dea that Biden wasn't going to lose some support with white men in PA and other states is hardly a concern to be dismissed. It was something specifically discussed several times considering Biden's ties to PA.

I think their goal is to get Trump to cancel the debate.   He will look old and cowardly if he bails over a disagreement over terms, no matter what the earlier terms were.  

 

Oh, I think there's nothing the Harris campaign wants more and the Trump campaign wants less than that debate.

He won't show up even if it's scheduled at Mar-a-Lago and the moderator is Jesse Watters.

I think Trump thinks he can do it, but everyone on his team except the most sycophantic is telling him he's not capable. He will of course ignore the good advice and try to debate her.

I feel like this is concern trolling from CNN: casting doubt when she's leading and stoking fear when he's leading.  Either way, it discourages Democrats from inaction.

That doesn't exactly speak to journalistic integrity, but if their motive is to stop Trump, it's not the worst strategy.  And it probably keeps people tuning in.

Yeah, the notion that Harris taking over the ticket would lose white make voters who would’ve supported Biden is not remarkable.

But the question is how much that might be offset by (1) others who voted for Trump in 2020 and are really sick of his shot, and (2) black voters who sat out in 2020, and (3) young voters who weren’t eligible or who sat out in 2020.

Kaplan Strategies: Harris, 52, Trump 45 (GCB: Dems +3, 44-41)

Kaplan is the pollster associated with Redstate.com and had Trump up 15 in MI and 10 in PA in April.  Don't worry, they spun this as "Harris cannot pull away from Trump" in a poll where she is up 7 lol

In WI and MI she is “maybe up a point or two” and in PA she “may be down” a couple points, sources say. Oh, and She’s doing better than Biden,  but worse in PA with white men.

in other words, the fact of margin of error repackaged as sourced reporting with crosstab minutiae to give it color on a slow news day.

Great job Jake!

Something has definitely changed with him the last year or so. He used to punch back a bit but now has gone soft.

Also who are the sources?  GOP operatives?  Dem operatives?  Wouldn't shock me if GOP operative are blasting out private polls to keep Trump going and the horserace going in the media.

I have a theory he's planning a new book or something - and he needs a Trump presidency to do so.

Morning Consult stays Harris +4, 48-44

Only real change in the poll and crosstabs was Walz' favorability went from +3 to +6

 

Also that Kaplan poll, 20% of voters said RFK endorsement made them want to vote for Trump, 20% to Harris, 58% said "meh, makes no difference"

I met him once years ago through mutual friends before he got on tv. He's always been soft and thinks he's smarter than everyone else. Fuck him.

Yes, something changed.... The leadership at his company.  The ones who sign off on his checks.  They changed and now he sucks ass.
