He has said (or intimated) that he doesn't GAF about being on the ballot or not in safe blue/red states.  It was about getting himself off the ballot in swing states to help Trump.  Don't even think he has bothered to withdraw from any safe blue or red states. 

Hell, he fucking applied YESTERDAY to be added to the Kentucky ballot.

Y'all don't get it. Give them access or they will be mean to you.

As Sulzberger often tells colleagues and as he and (Times’ Executive Editor Joe) Kahn have stressed in private conversations with the administration, every modern president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has done an interview with the Times. That, however, is an argument deemed uncompelling by Biden aides and one that, to some White House officials, smacks of entitlement. ...

And now Kamala is pissing them off even MORE because she won't play their game game either.

 

Scarcity drives price.  I wonder if she will hold out until a "60 Minutes" type interview, negotiate what topics are off limits, and scheduled for maximum value to the campaign.

Hasn't there been word that she's going to have a sit-down interview this week?

She should call a press conference and only invite friendly left-wing media and journalists.  Since that's what Trump before he verbally diarrheas all over them

Reuters poll -

Trump leads Harris on the economy 43-40.  Down from 11 points a month ago

Trump and Harris tied on crime and corruption, 40-40.  Was Trump +5 a month ago

Bullshit. Trump should be way ahead on crime. He is an expert at it.

How about she circumvents all of them and goes on with someone like Roland Martin (yes, I know he's aggy) because they are already pissed off at her for giving better access at the convention to "creators" and relegating the Politicos of the world to the cheap seats?

Oh yeah that's the stuff.

She should do Roland Martin and Paul Begala and open it with Tim talking about the rivalry coming back.

The following swing states have confirmed that RFK will stay on the ballot:

Michigan
Nevada
North Carolina
Wisconsin

Think he is just off in AZ and TX (withdrew on time), was struck from the ballot in GA (along with a bunch of other candidates, including Stein) and he did not qualify in PA 

 

 

I heard on the radio this morning that Ohio is honoring his request and removing him from the ballot. No surprise there.

From today’s NY Times “here’s what we would ask Kamala if she weren’t too scared to sit for an interview” piece:

“What do you think is secretly super special about Trump that appeals to so many totally not racist true Americans? And a follow up? Can you convince us that you don’t totally suck shit being that you’re an uppity black woman who can’t connect with middle America?”

Part of the absurdity over the kid thing is that I believe he was 33 when his oldest was born.  His wife was 32. I guaranteed they both used birth control for more years  than they didn't.  The whole thing is nothing but bullshit to appeal to the bible-thumping crazy.

I've seen old photos of JD and I think it's safe to say that he probably didn't get laid until he had made some money from his book.

She can't give the real answer, which is that they're bad people and completely irredeemable trash.

Gabbard replaces Vance on Trump's ticket

Trump dies

Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard becomes President

 

Hard to imagine Russia would get a better destabilizing agent with a US President that's literally on their payroll than they already do simply with Donald Trump being Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Ohio was going to make Dems jump through all kinds of hoops to beat their deadline to put the Dem candidate ON the ballot.

Hi, I'm JD Vance. I'm going to Yale and writing a book about Ohio.

Ok.

Think about how stupid the average person it.  

The average voter is probably 10% stupider than that. 

I just had a meeting with our hospital administration because some of the patients at our hospital are confused by some of the big words we use on our standardized consent forms like “chest” and “abdomen”.   In asked what should we say “tummy”?? Without flinching he said “yes”.  Apparently they did a study and our average patient has the mental capacity and vocabulary of a 7th grader.  That is a direct quote.  This country is absolutely fucked.

Actually, they passed a bill during a special legislative session that extended the filing deadline to Aug 31 but the Dems chose to stick with the roll call vote to meet the original deadline just to avoid any potential GOP skullduggery. They probably didn’t have to but you can’t blame them. Better safe then sorry and with Ohio Republicans you can never be sure.

If I’m coaching Harris:

“You’re asking ME why frustrated people vote for Donald Trump? Because he lies to them. Because he sells them magic beans. 
Seriously, that’s the answer.

And while it’s my job to make a better argument than he does and help them understand how our policies can help, it’s YOUR job to help them separate fact from fiction. And your profession has utterly failed at that, because you’re too focused on horserace bullshit and asking candidates for office  to put each other’s voters on the couch.
So after all the whining about me taking my message straight to the voters and not going through your platform to speak to them, are you going to interview me or what?
You do your job, David, and I’ll do mine.”

I love this answer but she's not allowed to criticize the media. Leave that for Pete and the other surrogates.

I think the quick and easy answer is "political punditry as to why a candidate might appeal to some part of the electorate is your job, not mine."  And then shift easily to explain why voters should vote for her.

It's a stupid fucking question.  Dismiss it as such.
