I have absolutely nothing to lose if Trump is elected and I am terrified.

Everybody in the world has something to lose if Trump is elected.

Try this scenario out: Trump enacts tariffs. The tariffs are met with retaliatory tariffs. The US economy craters, inflation runs rampant. Tax receipts will be down, and social safety net expenditures way up. And Trump, congenitally unable to admit he was wrong, decides to have the US declare bankruptcy (in essence, by not raising debt ceiling) to screw foreigners. And then we get a worldwide economic collapse.

I wish the rest of the world would get to work on finding a different reserve currency. It is extremely dangerous to have so much financial infrastructure concentrated in a country that, best case scenario, is a hair's width from electing a complete and utter madman who understands nothing about the world.

From last week but still important to remember

“This thing’s very close. It’s a margin-of-error race,” Plouffe added.

Plouffe said he would rather be Harris than Trump at this stage of the race, though it remains very close. He said he was hopeful for the Democrat’s chances, looking at Harris’s strength among some Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters.

“I think Kamala Harris may surprise at the end of the day with either straight-up Republicans or independents who are essentially Republicans. We’re seeing a continued strength there, and that matters a great deal, given how big those cohorts are,” he said.


“But listen: I think it may be that our internal data is exactly right. But if I were to hazard a guess, I think it may be undercounting her strength amongst Republican-leaning independents. So, we won’t put that in the bank, but let’s hope that’s right,” he later added.

two weeks ago but sure. I'd be curious to know if the campaign internals are still what they were two weeks ago. I suspect they are, but who knows.

Interestingly, I was called for a survey over the weekend. The interviewer sure seemed like he was a Dem. When I would interrupt him as he went though the choices of candidates to say, "the Dem," he seemed to be put in a good mood by that. That alarmed me a little bit, because it might explain why MAGAs don't like phone polls and that problem might still be there. Just a little bit. It's also possible that he was tired and liked having a respondent as efficient as me. Or that he is trained to do that no matter who says what, because positivity keeps me on the call? Point is -- I have no point. It's just a FWIW.
 


Trump spends a surprising amount of time being offended on behalf of Joe Biden these days.
 
All the racism blotted out a policy proposal Trump lifted from the Harris campaign last night:

“I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses and we will have no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on social security benefits for our seniors. And I’m announcing a new policy today that I will support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one. It’s about time that they were recognized. They add so much to our country and are never spoken of ever, ever, ever. But they’re going to be spoken of now.…”

Where did you find this? Where is this ad running?

It might hold the key to the whole election. I read somewhere that one mystery in AZ is that it's GOP women in particular who are voting early, much more than GOP men. Which could be a sign that Republican women who feel intimidated by their husbands are trying to vote when the husbands aren't around to harass them.

If this is happening in a lot of places -- and if it applies to women who answer polls with husbands present -- it could be huge. This could be earthquake level if it's occurring en masse, which we don't know.

Oh snap, I’ve made a mistake! I voted early and my wife is waiting until Election Day. I should’ve made sure to go with her so that I could “harass” her from the voting booth next to her on Election Day.

Edit: since heelsfan108 reacted “wow” to my post - the above was sarcasm, for anyone who didn’t know. I find it hard to believe that any significant portion of men would harass their wives at the ballot box, so it was a joke. Thought that was clear.

What you say in jest, many men wouldn't.
