When does the heritage foundation get labeled a domestic terrorist group?  Because that is what they are.

Is there any mentally well person left campaigning for Trump? Says a lot that my first reaction to hearing about Antonio Brown going MAGA is that he must be more off the deep end than I thought.

LOL imagine thinking it's a good thing to have Antonio Brown speak at your event.

If paid get out the vote is anything remotely like door to door sales, those fuckers are fudging their fucking numbers in ways hard to verbally describe.

Wouldn’t they get paid hourly?  Do they just sit at Starbucks and use google maps and county tax records to enter names and addresses into their logs?  

You're down to less than a quarter tank. The next name is 10 miles one way in some little bitty town and there are...three others there.

Why yes I did go to Palookaville! It was 4 hours. Pay me.

No ground game, enthusiasm well lower than 2020, key defections by republicans. Yet somehow they’re gaslighting us into believing he’s the favorite 

It's a media meltdown more than anything.

Yeah and I was thinking about something similar last night. Harris has the Obamas, Bill Clinton, lots of high-profile Dems, and multiple prominent Republicans actively campaigning for her. Meanwhile, Trump can't get past Republican Presidents or even many current high-profile Republicans to lift a finger to campaign for him or endorse him, even his own VP. That alone says all we need to know imho.

I assume the pubs have an app similar to VAN, which I’ve used previously. The canvasser has a list of houses they are assigned to, with the names, party registration, and ages of who you are to speak with. You then enter the result of the attempt in the app- not accessible, wrong address, no answer, no interest, wants a sign, is interested in volunteering, etc..

There is a ton of discretion for the canvasser. How long are you going to wait for an answer after ringing the doorbell? Are you going to ignore “no solicitation” signs? Are you going to try to get into controlled access areas like apartments or gated communities? I’ll admit I wasn’t terribly aggressive about it, but I bet I was a shit ton more aggressive than someone working hourly. I would set aside my natural introvertism because I wanted my candidate to win. It would have been a very easy job to milk.

Yes. And on top of that, not all neighborhoods are created equal when it comes to inaccessible doors, stray and inadequately restrained pit bulls, aggressive homeless, and assorted hazards such as rotted out walkways, rusty nails and bolts scattered about, erratic drivers, and questionable drainage/mud/puddle situations. There's a reason mailmen and UPS drivers have unions who can negotiate excellent pay and benefits. Shit can go sideways in many ways when you're approaching someone else's house, on any given day.

Now, I bet a large chunk of Trump's likely voters aren't in neighborhoods like this, but quite a few low propensity voters like in places like this

And they shouldn’t have published it. Their editor should be fired for running that bullshit

Yep. I came to terms with this a few years ago. My body is too wrecked for adequate field work, but I can advise. 

Put me in an Alamo situation and I'll do my best not to be a liability.

Layin' in bed with a couple of pistols, I could do that.

I’ve been watching the guy who owns WordPress try to pull an Elon, and he’s been absolutely melting down.  Kind of a precursor of Elon. A lot more public,

Did you know that 65% of all websites use WordPress?

Vance seems to be out of sight as well.  He might be doing rallies and maybe they are so pitiful nobody is covering them, but it feels like somebody in the Trump campaign knows he’s a drag in the campaign.  

Speaking of vanishing acts, is Walz still alive?  I haven’t seen or heard shit from him since the VP debate. Granted I’ve been a bit swamped since then so may have missed it.

Why does he care so much?

Oh, I don't know, probably has to do with the billions of dollars in taxes he will actually have to pay.

He was on Fox News Sunday at the start of the week. He'll be on The View next week.

He also did an event with Bill Clinton in Georgia, a few of his own solo rallies and he has an event with Obama to open up in person early voting in Wisconsin

Hey should replace Gaffigan on SNL. But play it straight. Cast members calling him Jim, etc. Might not get any new votes but it would be funny.

Multiple campaign events/rallies each day (primarily swing states) plus interviews.  He was on Rich Eisen this week, Smartless the week before, the View next week

It should be fucking illegal for police in uniform to appear in political ads. That demonstrates impartiality in the justice system. Dipshit sheriff wants to be appear in the ad? You do so as Jim Bob Fuckwit in your yellow-stained wifebeater, and cannot mention your profession.

Arnold Palmer is rolling over in his grave having this fuck bring him up in one of his stupid fucking rallies. Go slobber all over Jack's knob. He's into it.

Admittedly the online collegiate presence is minuscule in the grander internet scene but I recently I went out with my bro and his friend who moved to Austin for work from the Middle East. I told him the anti suffrage movement is alive and well online and not just with incel trash, there are serious “college educated” people from multiple SEC boards that champion the abolishment of the 19th amendment.

He didn’t believe me. And that’s fair to be honest. But I’ve seen enough on tiger droppings, texags, and hornfans (RIP) to know that even if it is a small subset of posters, they’re never called out. Very much falls in line with the few bad apples bad cop observation: sure not that many cops will commit a bad shoot, plant evidence, extort money, etc. But it’s not those assholes I’m worried about, it’s the pieces of shit that look the other way. And when posters on those sites say the country was lost when the 19th passed, nobody bats an eye or contradicts them. Hell they don’t need to be just contradicted, they need to be told to go fuck themselves and shut the fuck up for their stupid ass nonsense. But I’ve never seen a peep.

We need to win this election. The handmaids tale shit is getting a little too real

You know, I'm betting Jack Nicklaus is taking this well, great guy that he is.
