I would contest the characterization as partisan. I've never voted for a Pub in my life. I suppose that could make me a Dem partisan by one definition of the word. But I don't have all that much attachment to the Dems. I vote Dem exclusively because the Pubs have been BSC for my entire adult life. Does that make me a partisan or a rational informed voter?
 
Harris/Walz's answer to every policy question should be:

"Donald, you and the Republicans had control of all 3 branches of government from 2017 - 2019, but all you did was 1) make it easier for people to buy guns, 2) gave a massive, record-setting tax cut/windfall to the wealthiest Americans and corporations, and 3) appointed the SCOTUS justices who gutted Roe. If you didn't do it then, why would we believe you're going to do it now?"

And just repeat that EVERY time, with the same discipline Pubs repeat their lies no matter who the Pub is saying it.
 
My sister is more liberal than me and changed to independent to be able to have flexibility in primaries (ie voting for Haley over Trump this year)

Where’s he going to be?

Wendy’s on Charlottetowne?

LOL! The worst Wendy's ever!

He's at the Concord Convention Center by Concord Mills. But I think he's flying into CLT because the news is saying it will impact 85 and 485 at rush hour. I don't know why he can't just fly in to Concord....the airport is right there.
 
The fact that Trump is in NC at the juncture bodes well for Harris. Reminds me of when McCain was in in NC a couple weeks out vs Obama. Harris already has it won.

Not really. NC is the new FL. It's the second most likely tipping point state, IIRC, behind PA. If Trump wins NC, then he can win the election with any one of the three blue wall states. If he doesn't, basically his only path to victory involves (PA + NV) or (WI + MI), both of which are bigger reaches.

You assume Georgia and NC are correlated.

The whole fact he thinks there are like long term records of summer jobs (and that they would ever be on your resume as an adult) should show people how out of touch he is....

But yet folks in mobile homes and shacks thinks he is a man of the people and would gladly come into their home to have dinner. He looks down on that...and it's so wild they dont see it

I don't think a lot of lower income folks see him as a "man of the people". They're well aware of how rich he is and that he's never lived like they live.

I think it's more they see in him how they'd be if there were extremely rich. They'd eat McDonald's. They would make fun of anyone they disliked without fear of repercussions. The would tell the experts in charge that they were wrong and laugh when those experts got mad.

In short, Trump is aspirational for them. He's the overgrown toddler they'd be if they were had his wealth and power.

I get that. I registered Republican back in 1996 when I was 18 not because I was terribly politically informed, but because I liked Abraham Lincoln. (Stupid kid.)

I didn’t really pay much attention to politics, but I’d vote in the big elections based on whatever issue got my attention. I’d also make sure to vote for some of both sides once I started paying st least a little attention.

It wasn’t until after Obama was elected that I started really caring though, and once I started to realize what Republicans stood for I decided I’d switch things up.

But I liked Bernie and didn’t think Dems were giving him a fair shake so I went unaffiliated. That said, I’ll never vote for a Republican again unless they do some MAJOR overhauling.
 
Barring something like Moscow launching nukes at NYC, there's not a damn thing that's going to change this election between now and two weeks from tomorrow. The 538 averages for this race are just incredible to see. Here's the race since Kamala took over --

Think of everything that's happened since March 1. And yet, for all intents and purposes, there's one thing that has caused a material change in the polling, and that was Biden dropping out and Kamala taking her place. That turned it from a slight but extremely steady lead for Trump to a slight but extremely steady lead for Kamala. The chances anything changes that between now and 11/5 are microscopic. This thread will probably be at 500 pages by then, but to anyone getting sick of the rat race, feel free to check out for a couple of weeks. Nothing's going to change anything.
