Did Erick put together a GA voter endorsement?

Here’s the problem with the current numbers.

25% of registered voters have already voted. And those are mostly the ones that will decide the race. So if there was some middle of the Monday October surprise like in 2000 when DUI accusations came out against bush the day before the election it won’t affect those who have already voted. You don’t get a do over.

I am wondering about the Mark Halperin comment that there is a story being shopped that would end Trump's campaign. Halperin was the reporter who broke the story (which a lot of people pooh-poohed) that Biden was going to drop out of the race over the weekend and he did.

That being said, I'm not sure what story "would end Trump's campaign" with less than 2 weeks before the election. They have seemingly thrown everything at him. Who would believe it?

The story is that Trump prefers boxers to briefs.

As a side note, on a podcast on the election , someone made the point that since Harris supports abortion, has she had one? What reporter would have the Moxi (ancient term for courage ) to ask her?

The question had a premise, for a fact, and we all see it, Joe Biden has severe cognitive decline and is not not fit to be President. While we the press were held at arms length and lied to by his handlers, You must have noticed.

She answered the question...

It was same defence Hillary Clinton used in the handling of classified emails, I'm just too stupid. The other side of her answer is, you are stupid if you think Biden has a cognitive issue, ask him why he isn't running.

"A Trump Promise Could Be “Catastrophic” to California’s Wine Industry (SF Chronicle) [Turns out wine can’t be made without illegal aliens]"

What is killing the American wine industry is the globalist dumping of cheap wine that the big corporate wine makes are using to blend into wine they label as "American" and thus destroy the market for all the smaller American wine producers.

"The Ameican press corps, not the Democrats"

Do you mean the Armenian press corps?

If you mean the American press corps, they are the same as the "Democrats"

"As An Aside. The biggest problem with so many DC reporters is they lack humility these days and also lack real curiosity."

Actually, it is a matter of definition. "Report" as in one that compiles and prints observed events without personal spin is long gone. All "reports" are actually op-ed stories. IMO, anyone "reporting" in DC already has an allergic reaction to our reality that exists outside the Beltway. If allergic to peanut butter, don't eat peanut butter. If allergic to reality, avoid reality.

Instead, without exception (conservative or liberal), the "news" is now report+narrative. We have to be wise as serpents, innocent as doves to extract truth from the various narrative views of same events. Not trying to be a buzz-kill, just "watchman on the wall" warning all to be carefully examining everything from anyone these days. There are no more "Walter Cronkites" out there...

I am voting trump this go around. I am not a Trumper. I did not vote for Trump last time but did the first. but between transgender politics and a guy I believe was saved by divine intervention (twice), I can't speak for you, but I voted with divine intervention. If I get unfriended over that ( I did when I didn't vote for him the second time so ..........) at least when I stand in final judgement, I can say I voted the way I did. but that's just me and my beliefs.

The biggest underrated and underreported squirm on the Dem side is the Biden competency question. They can't keep the kayfabe up any longer.

Based on momentum, I could see Harris winning NC and Trump winning the other 6 swing states. Georgia is just about out of reach for Harris now, with Arizona not far behind.

By the way--why has Dem NC Gov Roy Cooper been MIA?

Harris not stumping in WI/MI/PA is political malpractice on someone's part.

Most of the media are not journalist we know that and they prove that point everyday especially the national media so “ believe nothing of what you read and half of what you see” and you might have a chance at finding what’s the truth

" Reporters are desperate to stop Trump at this point. They will do anything. You must understand that it is not just Democrats, but the American press corps itself that wants to stop Trump".

Isn't that a redundant statement? OK, there is a nuance to it, but it is just positional not political and ideological.

I don’t think there’s a person with half a brain that doesn’t believe the Dems and their media acolytes are going to cook up another Russia Collusion story or far worse here in the last 2 weeks. If they do, they will be signing their proverbial death warrant.

"McDonald’s analysts are hoping outbreak resembles Wendy’s and isn’t more troubling, like Chipotle’s."

In other news, Legacy Media is trying to find out how/if they can tie the outbreak to Trump's failure to use a hair net.

I told my husband this morning that someone would blame the outbreak at McDonalds on Trump for cooking fries at one.

Yeah, I thought that timing was suspicious.

Things aren't looking so good for Harris in GA. From WSB Radio:

"According to the Secretary of State’s website, white voters made up the largest share of the total number of votes so far at just over 31 percent followed by black voters at nearly 25 percent.

Slightly more women than men have already voted."

All those numbers (especially if they hold through Nov.5) would seem to favor Trump.

Lizzo ain't singing yet... but she may be warming up her voice.

What’s that 31% and 25% supposed to represent? Percentages of the total white and black registered voters?

Expand full comment

I'm assuming that the percentages are representative of the early votes cast.

If Whites are voting in larger percentages than Blacks that should favor Trump.

If the margin between women & men is small, that should favor Trump -because he has a larger margin among men than Harris has with women.
