Is that a good thing?

Also, remember what Plouffe said -- they've been testing to see who is well suited to reach which audience. ICP hits a group that is really, really, really hard to reach by other means, except possible ads on Faygo soda whatever the fuck that is.

It's not a coincidence that the Daily Show is doing this piece right now. I'd say it's highly likely that the Harris campaign is out there steering stories to news outlets, including the Daily Show. Note that the piece barely poked fun at the juggalos, which is a change from the usual tone of a TDS piece on them. Mostly it highlighted that the juggalos, though disaffected from politics, are ideologically progressive.

This does not make me feel better at all, personally. Carville is a dinosaur.

Carville is still sharp and he's still very well-connected. Granted, most of the points he made were boilerplate and not any kind of inside info, but they were good points. He's definitely not one to sugarcoat things, if he wasn't feeling confident I don't think he'd come out that strongly. He might still say something like "well, it's tight but we're still in this thing" or something along those lines, but he wouldn't have written what he did. Of course he could still be wrong, but a guy who is known for calling it like he sees it coming out that strongly does make me feel better...

I don't doubt that he's confident, I just don't think that his confidence means anything or should independently inspire confidence in anyone else.

Disinformation and Polling Panic

Cut it out.
therickwilson.substack.com therickwilson.substack.com

"Listen, I want to say something else really quickly. If you are believing the panic polls, stop it. Stop it. Donald Trump has done two strategic imperatives for the rest of this campaign. Number one, is to flood the zone with shit and panic Democrats. That's why you're seeing dozens of these polls from brand new pollsters and low quality pollsters and Rasmussen a thousand times over to skew the poll aggregate numbers.

Donald Trump is in real trouble across the country. He has very few bright spots on the map and a lot of very, very red alert spots. The disinformation machine that is feeding that panic narrative is making my Democratic friends lose their goddamn minds. Fucking stop it. The best piece of advice I've ever gotten in my personal life was don't drink the poison. Don't drink the poison.

When bad people want you to drink the poison, don't drink the poison. Don't drink the poison. I wrote about this the other day on Substack. The idea that you're going to get panicked and you're going to run for the hills because some polls don't look like you want them to look, grow up. Toughen up.

We can win this thing, and we can win it big. Get out there and vote. Vote early. That helps the Harris campaign. The sooner you vote, the better. And this disinformation stuff, the more you see the crazy, the more you need to dismiss the crazy, the more you need to filter it aggressively."

It's a good thing for Dems if Trump is doing this. One of the only reasons he won in 2016 is that few thought he would win.
