Karl Rove:
“… Daron Shaw of the University of Texas at Austin, suggested over email that the genuinely up-for-grabs voters consist of three groups: true independents who don’t lean toward either party, non-MAGA Republicans, and less-motivated low-interest voters.
Mr. Shaw, who is also Fox News’s poll director, says voters within these three groups who remain undecided or weakly linked to their current choice make up as little as 1.8% of the electorate. I’d suggest this share could be as high as 5%, given the number of undecided voters in national polls. That’s not a large figure, but in a tight race it would matter.
Being able to inspire party loyalists while appealing to independents has long been the mark of political thoroughbreds. Neither Mr. Trump nor Ms. Harris qualifies for that designation, but each needs only to be better than the other. Today, she appears likelier to do that than he does.
The past six weeks have shown that the pendulum can swing rapidly and wildly.
For the first time this year, the Trump campaign is floundering. Mr. Trump seems rattled. He’s making plenty of unforced errors and wasting valuable, irreplaceable time on insults, side issues and trivia. All this undermines his cause.
The Trump-Vance ticket needs to become much more disciplined and settle soon on an effective line of attack against Harris-Walz that wins over swing voters and then stick to it. If it can’t achieve both these goals, a race Mr. Trump was on the verge of winning three weeks ago could be lost.”

Not sure that is the good thing they think it is. Everyone is tuning in to his press conferences now to see how he implodes this time. It’s can’t miss disaster that makes it newsworthy.

What really gets me is that if the dems had selected someone else through the process instead of Harris, they would be yelling and screaming that the party didn’t automatically pick the VP of the running party to be the candidate. I mean, realistically, who else and how else do you think the dems were going to select?
And it absolutely was the will of the people that it should be Harris. People voted in the primaries for Biden with a fair number of them doing so fully expecting that if Biden won, he wouldn’t make it through another four years.

'2016 all over again': MSNBC host unloads on media for failing to fact-check Trump
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell laid into news outlets on his show Thursday night, comparing their collective failure to call out Donald Trump's falsehoods to 2016."It was 2016 all over again, today," he told his viewers. "Donald Trump spoke at his home in Florida for over an hour and all the...

Posters on the other board were setting this complaint up the moment Biden withdrew. And they thought it was a win for them because they think she’s unpopular.

unreal.
it continues to be bonkers that this stuff is happening in real-time and has been for years but we've got people like HY2012 and the rest of that crew breathlessly calling us hysterical and assuring us that trump and co. won't do all of the things that they are literally doing.

It’s kinda sad that swiftboating needs an explanation. And by sad, I mean most people under 30 wouldn’t have any reason to know it. Getting old sucks.

Yep. Trump’s best stretches in the election have been when the attention has not been on him. Until now, anyway, when people are genuinely excited about Kamala.
