A white nationalist event? With holocaust survivors, Hindus, Jews, and African Americans all speaking... in support of the man who promoted the Abraham Accords and moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and has Jewish grandkids. Sure, "white nationalist". Pull the other one, it has bells on.

Why do you assume that PR-Americans have no sense of humour? Or that they are so shallow that an off-colour joke would prompt them to vote against their own family interests? Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations!

Problem with voting data is that it does not indicate the motivation of the voters. They could be new and eager voters for their side, or they could just be voting early to avoid stress on voting day. That is why trends and polls tend to tell a better story, especially when seen over a length of time.

Yet more evidence that attractive and intelligent women tend to be right wing.

It is a good question. What matters is whether the GOP turnout is new voters who are eager to make their choice, or if they are simply cannibalizing voters who are simply voting early instead of on election day. Remains to be seen. This is why IMHO the polling averages and trends tend to matter more than simple early turnout.

And here we have the larger issue in a nutshell. Republicans think that Democrats are wrong. Democrats think Republicans are evil. Lots more emotion/vituperation on the left, which may explain why women are supporting Harris more than Trump. Less thinking and more feeling.

Genuine for sure. He is the same a55hole whenever and wherever he is talking. This long form conversation really brings that out in all its glory and all its pain. But authentic. Without programming, Harris simply falls back on platitudes and nonsense. Maybe the only issue she can speak about with genuine passion and authenticity is abortion.

These are some hard numbers to ignore... Plus the trend has been one way for the past month. Harris is obviously scared, otherwise she would campaign on her policies and not on simply attacking her opponent.

This is the basic problem for her. She can't stay "in character" for more than about 15 or 20 minutes at a time. A long form conversation would be impossible. Trump, for his faults, is a WYSIWYG guy. He is comfortable in his own skin. So he could sit and chat for 3 hours on everything from whale suicide to immigration. Also puts paid to the Democratic talking point that he doesn't have the energy or mental alertness to be President.

Now at 36 million views on Youtube. Kamala's great podcast, "blah blah Your Daddy" is at a hearty 600,000.

None of the above. Plus Kamala doesn't qualify- she has no kids. I would take Kristi Noem or Tulsi Gabbard over these two. Tulsi if the 'no kids' rule can be bent.

If clutching at one straw isn't working, clutch at another... Seems like a strange strategy for a political campaign to focus so much energy on the other candidate, and not on their own. Sign of desperation perhaps?

I'll take a shot. First, they don't have the sealift capacity to move enough troops or weapons across the Taiwan Strait. Also not enough airfields within flying distance to ensure aerial superiority in the event of a seaborne invasion from the mainland. Also, the time it would take to build up enough force across the Strait would be a huge giveaway to the West, and give the forces of good a chance to counter. What China COULD do is wreck Taiwan economically with missiles and bombing. But an invasion would be very difficult.

...and welcome to the world of Tired Talking Points, Volume 37. We can talk about the success of the Biden/Harris economy. So successful that it chased the sitting president from office. So successful that Americans trust the previous administration more than the current one on the economy. So successful that mre than 2/3 of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. How can anyone vote against Kamala, given all that success?

Sure. And I am sure the 94 year old Holocaust survivor attended because he was nostalgic for those glorious days. Come on, man! Not too many pro-Nazi events would have Israeli flags flying proudly at them.

And thus became....embittered? Given that the polls were off somewhere in the 3% range, that speaks to Trump actually winning rather easily this time. On this date in 2020, Biden was up by more than 7%, in 2016 Hillary was up by 5.5%. Today's result is Trump up by 0.1%.

You think ol' Slugger Doug might let her have one across the chops if she loses? It might explain why she sounds so wooden all the time.

Purely for reference, now up to 27 million views on YouTube.

As usual, nothing to say except "b-b-but Trump!" Straight from the lefty playbook. In any case, it sounds like she admires Chairman Mao more than anyone.

Yes, there is wealth out there. But a wealth tax is a killer for the economy. As for making the rich pay "their fair share"... well, the top 1% of income earners already pay 45% of federal income taxes. The top 50% paid 97%. So there isn't much left to squeeze out of people. A better idea would be to decrease government spending. At the moment, the federal government spends nearly 40% more than it brings in. THIS is the problem. They are mortgaging the future of their children and grandchildren to pay for today's excesses.

The interview also nicely puts paid to the current Democratic claim that Trump is tired, out of energy, and all that. He did 3 HOURS with Rogan- no out takes, no breaks, no editing of the answers. Three hours. And the reason he could do it is that he is himself. He is comfortable in his own skin. I struggle to think of a time when I saw Harris and thought "yeah, that's her authentic self". She is always play acting her role, which is why she can't (and won't) do anything resembling a spontaneous conversation. It's all a masquerade with her.

The Syndrome is strong in you tonight, my friend. Your talking points are tired and not having any effect. Americans will vote on the economy and immigration, not cheap fearmongering. The latest RCP polling average shows Trump actually AHEAD in the overall popular vote, and still leading in all seven swing states. Not to mention that in several cases, Democratic candidates are actively trying to distance themselves from Harris in order to win. It is starting to slip away, which is why she is getting ever more desperate and strident. What happened to the joy, Kamala?

Your girl Kamala barely passed the bar- on her second try. 80% of her classmates passed on their first try, as did more than 50% of applicants overall. Puts her in the bottom 20% of her class. What does that say about her legal acumen? As for her legal career, I would LOVE to hear about some of the significant cases she prosecuted. But again, radio silence. As for packing the stadium in Texas, you can thank Beyonce for that. And if you have time, listen to the booing in the crowd when they heard that Beyonce was not performing. Kinda tells you who they REALLY wanted to hear, doesn't it? But if you DO want to talk numbers, here is one for you- 13 million. That is the number of views the Rogan podcast has generated in 14 hours on Youtube. I do agree that change is coming. Changing out the tired Biden/Harris administration. The panic is evident in Harris' camp.

Hey, that's no way to talk about Biden voters! I am sure at least a few are reasonably sentient.

Nah, they only beclown General Kelly and raise uncomfortable questions for HIM. For example, why did he keep working for Trump after hearing such remarks? Why did he stay silent until 12 days before the election?
