I am hopeful that traditional polling methods are undercounting or underestimating a groundswell of anti-Trump sentiment

I’m not going to say this is likely, but I think it’s more likely than the converse.

They aren't canvassing because they closed all of the field offices - their entire ground game strategy is to hold rallies.

Their entire strategy is to funnel as much of the campaign money as possible in to the Trump family coffers.

Gaining the most votes is ancillary. It makes things easier, but isn’t necessary by any stretch.

I don't even understand why this is fucking news that gets any fucking coverage. We all know why there isn't any canvassing. This is the kind of shit folks should be discussing in post-mortem after the election, not fucking now.

While it doesn's surprise me they didn't learn the key lesson of 2020: GOTV works, I am shocked. Biden's prudent decision to not do GOTV for pandemic purposes, while the GOP was knockig doors definitely bit him in the ass on election day. 

Lara Trump wasn't running the RNC then.  Getting her put in charge of it was the biggest grift they've ever pulled off.

The cherry on top of Trump getting his ass handed to him is the GOP is going to have a negative bank balance and owe millions in unpaid bills across the country.  The only business Trump has successfully run is his fleecing of the GOP of all their money.

 

Schedule changes:

Fetterman will replace Harris on the planned PA bus tour tomorrow for Walz post-debate since Harris will be doing VP stuff for the storms (touring storm damage)

Harris still going to MI/WI later this week and NC next week

How? Trump was horrific for the economy. His policies drove our economy into the ditch and then he destroyed the world economy with his covid policies. He is a chaos agent and is terrible for anyone worried about the future. 

 

 

I don't know what you mean.  It was the bestest economy.  No one had better tariffs.  We had so many white jobs.  Some would call it the perfect economy.

How can we improve education in Texas? I interview so many 22-23 year olds in Texas and they have never read a book in their life.

Also, fuck Ted Cruz. Thank you.

“That’s great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid…”

Jesus, the lyrics to that song are chillingly prescient given today’s climate. Michael Stipe knew what was coming.

Stipe was born Jan. 1960. He’s a boomer. Ok?  Radio Free Europe, 1981.

No, Michael Stipe is not a boomer, as he was born on January 4, 1960, making him a member of Generation X. 
 
 
Stipe is the lyricist and frontman of the band R.E.M. He has been described as a rock legend who helped define American independent culture. His songwriting style is elliptical, and his lyrics are poetic and range from manic melancholy to post-apocalyptic hope. 
 
 
Stipe has also been involved in other creative projects, including:
  • Producing an album by Athens singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt
  • Sponsoring a Deep South night at the New Music Seminar to showcase young Dixie underground bands
  • Co-founding the nonprofit film company C-00, which produces public-service announcements and films

Stipe might be a Boomer but R.E.M. belongs to Gen X. 😁

And Gen X created the "mix tape" -- the OG playlists.

A Programming Note: 60 Minutes is scheduled to air a primetime election special on a Monday edition of the broadcast on October 7 at 8 PM. For over half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls. This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned. Our original invitation to former President Donald Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes stands.

I wouldn't want to interview with one of the Texas Tech's distinguished alumni (who doesn't even hold a degree from there) either

Shame. I wanted to hear more about how Hollywood actors all either have no muscle tone or too weak a face to portray…still unclear on that one.

I'm in the middle of the GenX age range and it wouldn't surprise me that GenXers are on the Trump side. Many are scared of the future and retirement is rapidly approaching. When you have uncertainties of your economic future, it's easy to fall prey to lies that today and the future will be financially worse under Harris.

Social media has proven that people are more likely to engage with negative than positive. Saying, "Harris will destroy America" hits emotions more than "Trump will improve the economy." Many Gen X women love their Facebook. 

There was something I saw years ago (probably on Facebook) that talked about what the generations think of each other.  For GenX, one of the younger generations considered us "racist."  That really surprised me.  Then I thought about it for a bit.  I thought about how many friends, or friends of friends, who said racist shit.  And how I didn't say shit about it. My best friend's Missouri rural cousins how whispered "salt and pepper" when they saw an interracial couple. I thought about the movies I watched - white guys being the best boxers and martial artists.  Sure, movies like 48 Hours challenged stereotypes, but still working within the stereotypes - Eddie Murphy was still a crook, or a bum, or a ghetto kid turned cop.    I figured we weren't racist, because we weren't as racist as previous generations.  But for GenX'rs who don't believe society should have changed, who didn't look at themselves...yeah, Trump's shit will still sell.

I find the whole Gen X Trump support so bizarre as it's antithetical to everything I know and lived about my generation. So many Gen X stereotypes were real in a lot of ways, but also one has to recognize the complexity of human lived experience obviously, so I always temper this with the fact that the vast majority of people are just very average suburbanites. And it wasn't a monoculture that people make it out to be either. It's still jarring to see.

The older Gen X that came of age under Reagan have never really waivered from the GOP.  They've always been there.  Unfortunately/fortunately, as a Gen X, I can confidently say: It probably doesn't matter since their are hardly any of us to begin with.  

Gen X: nobody gives a fuck about you except for your quality taste in music. 

As a Gen Xer, I know that a shitload of us hate the Baby Boomers, and Trump manages to not only embody the worst traits of the Baby Boomers, but caters to a lot of the Boomer types that we hate.

But a lot of us grew up in suburban settings, and worshipped Reagan, so...

My guess: he correctly understands sharing an episode will make him look bad and he plans to get an episode to himself later.

This is me acting like a conspiracy nut, but I actually think Trump is the cause of both events.  The head of the port workers union is a Trumper.  And Netanyahu almost certainly prefers Trump to Harris, if for no other reason than he knows Trump is completely ineffectual and will do nothing to push back on his agenda.

If Trump was responsible, he fucked up.  That idiot union leader was publicly bragging about being able to cripple the US, and that's not going to play well - people won't have sympathy for him, or Trump when more people realize how close the two of them are.  I'm sure the Harris campaign will circulate those photos of him and Trump together, as well as the video of him threatening to cripple the country.
