Ground Game Gains

The Democrat ground game has been in place long before Harris became their presidential candidate. This report out of Texas shows it's paying off.

"Nearly 2.6 million people have registered to vote in the state since then-Representative Beto O’Rourke narrowly lost the midterm election to Senator Ted Cruz, adding roughly the size of Connecticut’s entire voter roll to the books. The bulk of those new voters originate from some of Texas’s most liberal territories, including the areas surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin, reported the San Antonio Express-News."

With millions of baby boomers dying off, the composition of the electorate is changing on at least two fronts. Ted Cruz is in serious trouble.

This is Perfect

"Kamala Harris is making an unusual pilgrimage today — to the birthplace of the GOP"

Harris will highlight the noble and principled party the Republican Party once was, and she'll contrast it to the Republican Party of today. That will be meaningful to a number of present-day Republicans who dislike what the Republican Party has become. I believe this campaign stop and message will shift a number of Republican votes into the Harris camp.

At this point Kamala Harris's opinion of the GOP won't move a single Republican vote into her column, especially when accompanied by Liz Cheney. However, it will be interesting to hear what she and today's Democrat party stand for.

Incorrect, That running mate debate had little discernible effect on the election outcome.

From ChatGPT:

In terms of actual votes, it's difficult to say how much Palin's debate performance influenced the final outcome of the election. McCain was already facing an uphill battle due to the economic crisis and Barack Obama’s rising popularity. The debate didn't appear to decisively alter the trajectory of the race, and Obama won comfortably with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173. However, Palin’s pick did solidify McCain's appeal to certain voter groups, even if it didn't significantly change the broader electoral map.
My answer was more about the VP running mate making a difference, not the debate. But that is what you were referring too. As I recall after the Palin/ Biden debate, pollster Frank Luntz’s undecided focus group favored Palin and he predicted a favorable movement in the polls afterwards. That prediction turned out to be wrong.

A better example would be Ross Perot’s VP pick. Perot pretty much sealed his fate by suddenly dropping out of the presidential race (after he saw Bill Clinton unify the Democratic Party) and then getting back in, but the final nail was Stockdale’s performance in the debate. It was over after that.

What the debate did accomplish was showing an articulate, poised and intelligent Vance who had command of the issues. Someone that could competently be president. It also debunked totally the leftist fake narratives about Vance. Vance schooled the school teacher.

Vance hit a huge home run last night. Not only did he confirm his intelligence and likeability, he made the liberals who initially tried to label him as "weird" look like complete fools.

Five days after the hurricane hit, Kamala Harris shows up for a few minutes to read a hastily written statement telling the victims they can apply for a whopping $750 from FEMA to cover their immediate needs. That's a fraction of what illegal aliens get after they cross our border. How far will that get a family of four who just lost everything? How long will it take to get it? This callous attitude towards the hurricane victims in GA and NC will turn those states red next month.

"Additionally, anyone with “immediate needs to be met such as food, baby formula and the like,” is eligible to apply for $750 in federal relief..."

I saw that Political piece and it surprised me. This is something that can be easily corrected. We'll just have to wait and see if it will be. Harris may not think this is a problem to be corrected. Like those expressing concern in the article, I think it is.

It’s like she doesn’t really want to be president. Her actions indicate this.

Trump’s actions indicate he does want to be president. He shows up for interviews, TownHalls, rallies, and hurricane relief help. His schedule the rest of the month will be filled to the brim.

His poll numbers are in better shape than the last two elections at this point. His campaign has a history of closing strong come Election Day too. He has more money on hand than four years ago at this point.
He won’t be terribly outspent and his message won’t be completely drowned out.
X will provide an open platform as well.

It appears to be all shaping up to be a Trump win. It helps immensely that he wants it more and is willing to work harder to get it than his opponent.

Both candidates want to win. Both are acting like they do. Their particular schedules and strategies do not indicate otherwise.

The stakes are higher for Trump. If he loses, he loses the ability to corruptly use the powers of the presidency to make his most-serious legal cases go away. For Trump a win or loss is the difference between a long prison sentence or not.

I don’t know why those constitutional powers of the presidency would be corruptly used since the process of bringing those cases were.
It would be merely righting a wrong, constitutionally of course.

On both counts, the real law says otherwise.

How many more migrants do you want in your state or any state for that matter....we've got to putt them somewhere,, florida,Alabama, Tn, Ga,could handle another 5 million each plus the feds can build more schools and hospitals to keep us all healthy.. With the influx now, the trucking industry can use the new drivers since the turnover in trucking is at usually 100 pct, works for me..................

If This Poll is Accurate About Republicans, Trump is Done

"It found nine percent of likely voters who describe themselves as Republican plan to back the Democratic candidate in November, up from five percent in the last New York Times/Siena College poll a month earlier."
(Source)

In a race said to be close, Trump cannot afford to lose nine percent of Republican voters. The poll suggests he is on his way to doing exactly that.
