Not sure how they do that model, but unless I'm mistaken, a tie isn't really even possible unless something crazy happens with that Nebraska district. And last I saw, Kamala was way up there. This is not a tie election anyway, in my view, but it's especially dumb to show that when the result is pretty much impossible.

Yeah either the Blue Dot 🔵 would have to unexpectedly go red or the Maine red blob would need to go blue. There are other ways to get to a tie theoretically but those require unexpected results in non-swing states.
 
I'm just going to make three quick points on this stupid story and then never even think about it again.

1. Biden's intent seemed pretty clear to me.
2. Even as intended, Biden's comment was pretty dumb. He should know how things like that will be taken out of context.
3. I 100% agree with the comments here that MAGA focusing its ire on Biden in the last week of the campaign could turn out to be a good thing for Kamala. I seriously doubt that was Biden's intent, but if there's ever been a time where it could be a good thing to have a scapegoat, it's now.

Kamala: and ladies and gentlemen, this is why we can’t trust our democracy to the mental acuity of 80 year olds!
 
The Republicans are so dysfunctional. You’d think they would for sure have told Mark Robinson that it’s over and he needs to go away. Cut him a check or whatever but get that clown off the stage.
 
So far, the one media outlet I’ve heard making a “big deal” about Biden’s gaffe is the BBC News Hour on NPR (9:00 - 10:00 am on WUNC). And, they aren’t making that big of a deal out of it…….and, BBC appears to do as much sane-washing and ‘bo-siding as any of the American mainstream media.

Been in that situation multiple times and I do indeed feel similarly.

One of the times that has happened to me was, in retrospect, funny. Nearly 20 years ago, I had my pericardium removed, due to, no surprise, pericarditis. Shortly after the surgery and after I was out of the cardiac care room, a doctor came in who I had never seen before. He introduced himself said he was an oncologist and he had the results from the tests they had conducted on my pericardium for mesothelioma. I must have blanched completely white, because he start stumbling over his words trying to get out that all the tests were negative. Once I had recovered my composure, I explained I was a lawyer and had taken a lot of depositions for use at trial of people who had mesothelioma and were not expected to make it trial. He sort of laughed and said something like he usually had to explain what mesothelioma was to folks, after he had told then they were negative.

Personally, I’m way more annoyed by the attempt to contextualize the “Trump supporters are garbage” than I am by the gaffe itself. If Biden had been more willing to take off the gloves a lot sooner and call those stupid motherfuckers exactly what they are a lot sooner, he might still be the nominee.

But yeah, anyone who thinks that this moves one single solitary vote in either direction needs to log off for the day and either go touch some grass or smoke some.

Anyone who thinks this won't potentially change some votes is naive. Don't try to assume that undecided or low-propensity voters act rationally. I hope it won't have a large effect, but to assume that it is irrelevant and can't matter at all is just the purest form of hopium. it's a stupid unforced error that Republicans will work hard to keep in the news cycle for the next week and is causing numerous campaign surrogates to have to spend time defending instead of focusing on message,

Especially if they have truck nuts hanging from the back.

When my wife first saw "truck nuts" she thought they were hilarious wanted me to get a pick-up again so she could buy a pair and hang them on the back. I agreed, provided that I pay for the fuel used by the truck everytime we actually needed a truck and she pay for the fuel the rest of the time. My wife declined.

We are clearly going to have to agree to disagree. You really think that there are people out there who have been sitting around not planing to vote and/or not knowing for whom they will vote, but all of a sudden a guy who isn’t running for president makes some remark on a Zoom call about Trump supporters being garbage, and NOW they’re gonna go scampering to the polls, despite a guy who IS running for president having said some absolutely absurd shit himself every time he’s in front of cameras? You have a lot lower opinion of our electorate than even I do.

Anyone who claims that they changed their vote because of Biden's mid-sentence stutter is a liar. I could walk out on my back porch and start screaming that aliens (the ET kind) just ate my brain and change more votes than Biden's stutter will.
