President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Do we need to ask Stormy Daniels about Trump and protection?

 

I’d pay folding money for the latter, @FileNotFound.

 

Visited with my folks last night, they were wondering about the candidate I'm encouraging them to vote for, "But I hear on TV....." Mom, those are ads by her opponent.

PS - obviously I'm way too close - as are most journos - but I can't fathom a reason why there is sudden optimism for Trump and doom and gloom for Harris. I hear the "criticisms" of her and they are a joke.

 

But enough about his wife … wait, did you mean his actual facial hair?

 

This is the natural order of the two parties asserting themselves as the election draws closer. Republicans invariably claim they're winning. About the only time they didn't oddly enough was in 2016. Meanwhile, Democrats always fret. If the state of the race (as far as can be told) is that Harris has a slight lead, they ignore the noun to focus on the adjective. It is by far the worst aspect of the party of which I am a member. The incessant handwringing and all the blind quotes from unnamed Dems about how Harris is campaigning all wrong. Motherfucker, I'm sorry she didn't hire you, but maybe there was a good reason.

 

Many trends that don't look good for Harris. The biggest is that she appears to be losing support in Pennsylvania.
I still believe if she loses Pennsylvania she loses the election.
Hopefully Obama's speeches to get black men to vote for her will help because the numbers reveal she is not gaining support from younger black men, down double-digits from how Biden polled.

She is also not polling well with Latino men in Arizona and Nevada.

She's running out of time and out places to win electoral votes.

 

Cite the numbers, please. All public polling ("Wall St. Journal" latest today) shows all the swing states are essentially tied. There have been bad polls for Harris on Pa. this week and good ones, too (state firm's polling on a couple of swing CDs show Harris beating Biden's margins there. There's nothing to suggest the race has.changed at all in the past week. Very close, Harris maybe slightly ahead.

 

Oh for flaming fucks sake Joe

Trump should get ‘all he needs’, says Biden, after campaign requests military aircraft over fear of Iran plot – US elections live | US elections 2024 | The Guardian

The answer should be: all legitimate candidates will get exactly the protection deemed necessary by the Secret Service, no more and no less. If Fatfuck doesn't like it, and he won't, tough shit.

We're not going to start ordering military resources and personnel around in response to his lunatic demands -- and everything he utters is a lunatic demand.

 

I can tell you my company commissioned a poll by the top polling company in the state and it had Harris up two in Arizona.

And I hear people acting like she's wasting her time campaigning here.

Party of needless mopes.

 

The idea that military resources should respond to the demands, suggestions or requests of Fatfuck is a particularly dangerous policy to establish until next Jan 20 -- and hopefully never.

 

From USA Today:

For example, in Arizona, 51% of Latino men between the ages of 18-34 expressed support for Trump, with only 39% backing Harris.

Similarly, in Nevada, 53% of young Latino men favor Trump, while 40% support Harris, as per the USA Today report.

In Arizona, 57% of Latino voters expressed their support for Harris, compared to 38% for Trump. In Nevada, the numbers are slightly closer, with 56% backing Harris and 40% supporting Trump, as mentioned in a report by USA Today.

While Harris leads Trump among Latino voters in both Arizona and Nevada, her support lags slightly behind the numbers achieved by President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Biden secured a 24-point lead among Latinos in Arizona and a 26-point lead in Nevada. As David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, noted, “It’s good news for Harris that she’s leading, but the margin likely won’t be enough for her to secure these key states.”


Also, today from Forbes:

According to the Election Betting Odds tracker, which consolidates betting numbers from five major markets—bookmakers now give Trump a 53.2% chance of winning in November, compared to Harris’ 45.8%.


This marks a major shift in Trump’s favor, as the GOP candidate’s consolidated odds have surged by around 5 points in the past week, while Harris’ has fallen by a similar margin.

 

Polls don't matter. Economic indicators don't matter. Vibes rule everything.
