    As I’ve said I would place a bet but the last time I bet with a Trump supporter I still paid the debt even though I had won.

    Go ahead and bookmark it. LOL

    Trump will lose. Trump will deny he lost. Trump will spread his BS conspiracy theories and lies again to incite his right wing extremists. Roger Stone, MTG, Tucker, and the rest of the right wing wackos will join in. MAGA Republicans will start forcing recounts in every state Trump lost. Then Paxton, Abbott, Cruz and the other bootlicking politicians will start spreading voting lies and join in on the election denial. Then Trump will try to sway those in power to not certify votes. It will be a repeat from that whole group of power hungry lying politicians who spit on Democracy and a free and fair election once again. Trump will rally up all his disgusting right wing hate groups once again, trying to stir up more violence and hate, saying his election was stolen.

    Put that on your bookmarks.

    I’m absolutely certain if Trump loses we will see a repeat of 2020. We will see a few states try to put up false electors and we will see protests that turn violent.

    Harris' campaign launches new ad aimed at persuadable Republicans


    Kamala Harris’ campaign is launching two new digital ads in battleground states featuring a past supporter of former President Donald Trump on the same day that the Democratic nominee is set to campaign in Wisconsin alongside Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming,

    The 30-second ads feature Matt McCaffery, a lifelong Republican who voted for Trump in the past, explaining that he is supporting Harris because he believes the former president will hurt the middle class and is not taking responsibility for past mistakes.

    • In one ad, titled, “Matt McCaffery,” he explains why he is abandoning Trump and supporting Harris. “I believe in small government, low taxes and stay out of my life,” he said. “I am a Republican. I voted for Donald Trump and I went to his inauguration in 2016. We tried it for four years. It just didn’t work.”
      • McCaffery attacks wealthy Trump supporters and explains his support of Harris as images of her and running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, appear. “All these billionaires are coming out of the woodwork to support Trump,” he said. “They want their tax breaks on the backs of the middle class. What I am looking for in a president is people like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I think she’s going to do a great job for people like me.”
    • In the second ad titled, “Who does that?,” McCaffery criticizes Trump for not taking responsibility for his actions. “Like I can’t go to work and mess up something and then blame my staff. Like who does that? Well, who does that? Donald Trump does that,” McCaffery said in the ad.
      • He goes on to explain his reasoning. “It’s time to move on,” McCaffery said. “It’s going to be more of the same and the middle class is going to suffer. Take it from me. I’m a lifelong Republican. I am still a Republican. Kamala is trying to help the American people, especially the American middle class.”

    Very meaningful and legit analysis of the polls and the media's almost full backing of Harris-Walz. Such great in depth exploration. More than informative, it was fascinating. Just an amazing scholarly look at where the race is now and a balanced objective examination of everything that goes into it, especially the media's almost full backing of Harris-Walz.

    Is Trump selling watches at $100,000 each as a way to get around campaign contributions limits? The article doesn't say that. I just kind of wonder if he could do that and get away with it. I would assume contribution rules would prevent it. Just a thought that popped in my head. I just link the article as it shows a picture of the watches.

    Even though he/she welched on the bet, getting rid of the obnoxious123 Biden/Kamala supporter was worth it.

    I lost my bet to him. I took the GOP field versus Trump for presidential nominee. I paid that bet to the tip jar.

    The bet I had was with another poster in the 2020 election. It was a tip jar bet that I won and I still paid the tip jar and that poster disappeared shortly after without paying.

    It is extremely close.

    Most credible polls have Harris up 3-4% in national polling - but the election is coming down to a handful of states for the Electoral College.

    Harris appears to have a VERY narrow lead in Pennsylvania, but it is within in the margin for error and it is complete toss-up.

    North Carolina also is within the margin for error and is a toss-up as well.

    The Democrats feel a little more comfortable with Michigan, but I think that is likely a 1-2% difference as well and is hard to tell because blacks and Arabs will play a big part in whom wins.

    Wisconsin has consistently been slightly in Harris' corner, but I think that one could be a surprise, as the state is difficult to predict.

    Georgia is considered a toss-up - but I think Trump wins Georgia, if he loses Georgia I think that he loses Pennsylvania.

    538 has Harris with a 56% chance to win and Trump 44%.

    It really is a coin flip as on October 4, 2024.

    I've been in the d&d a long time. Obama was supposed to be a weak candidate -- little experience and just a vacuous pretty face. Hillary was supposed to be a weak candidate -- a corrupt insider who felt entitled to the presidency. Biden was supposed to be a weak candidate -- an also-ran for a half-century from a bygone generation who lucked into the candidacy because Dems couldn't find anyone exciting. Now Harris is supposed to be weak too? How do Dems win so often with weak candidates?

    And probably the only reason Kerry lost the popular vote was the national bloodlust after 9/11 that propped up Bush as a war president. It didn't take us long to regret that one.

    I also find that annoying because crowd size is genuinely a stupid thing to brag about. But, I know Dems do it because they know how easily they can troll Trump by doing it. If he wasn't so easily manipulated, they probably wouldn't bother with it.
