3 hours long. That was a looonnnggggg conversation. So much for the whole "hes too tired" shtick that Harris is trying to pull. He did this then went on to have a rally afterwards.

No talk about drugs, but they did touch on aliens. And not the illegal ones to deport (ok those to). That was a little interesting to hear about.

This must impact democrats more otherwise the 5th circuit would have ruled the other way

SCROTUS will probably knock this down if they have the time between scratching themselves and sniffing their fingers because Dumpster has been actively pushing for people to mail-in vote this time [ while at the same time claiming it's all about fraud so 60/40 ] which means that mail-ins are not necessarily seen as a pure dem win this time around.

Add to that his known addiction to massive amounts of flu meds and an environment where he can free-wheel from one random topic to the next and someone will claim he's totally focused on 'topic', you have a narcissist with seemingly plenty of energy to spare.

Kornacki: Harris No Longer More Popular Than Trump In New CNBC, NBC Polls

 

This comes as a whole bunch of pollsters are starting to release their final polls of the cycle. The RCP average has Trump up 0.1% in the national head to head, which is a statistical tie, but also really good news for Trump. Historically the Democrats need a 3% or more lead in this poll to win the Electoral College.

Battleground states are also showing a tight race, but all of them have Trump in the lead right now. Can he lose them? Sure. And I dont think hes going to sweep them all. But, as of now, Trump has the clear advantage with a little over a week to go. NV and AZ are looking more and more like a GOP Win, with NV being abandoned by some Democratic PACs already.  NC is setting GOP turnout records, so looking good there. GA is seeing record turnout in GOP dominating areas. And in PA even Fetterman is saying something is going on and Trump has real enthusiasm in the state. There looks to be a preference cascade building, and its building for Trump right now.

Oh, and we can just call Florida already. Thats a laughter with the GOP holding a, roughly, 26% lead in early voting. Even Miami has flipped to the GOP in early voting. Any pollster, or prognosticator, who says Florida is in play can be summarily ignored.

Muslim and Arab leaders take the stage to endorse Trump at Michigan rally

https://www.mlive.com/politics/2024/10/muslim-and-arab-leaders-take-the-stage-to-endorse-trump-at-michigan-rally.html?outputType=amp

NOVI, MI - Former President Donald Trump took the stage in Novi, Oakland County, to a packed crowd of enthusiastic supporters on Saturday, Oct. 26.

In his speech, he aimed to energize his base with less than two weeks until Election Day, suggesting that his appeal among Muslim supporters could be a turning point in Michigan and a significant detriment to Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the Suburban Collection Showplace, 46100 Grand River Ave., a group of Muslim imams from the Michigan Chapter of the Arab American Bar Association took the stage to endorse Trump, expressing their support for his stance on ending the wars in the Middle East.

“We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace not war,” one of the imams said. “We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”

 

Thats a big deal. Not because the endorsements will change votes, they realistically never do, but because this is more proof that Michigan is going to be extremely tough for Harris to carry. There are a lot of Muslims that think she is supporting a genocide in the middle east right now. Its been documented for a while that she is losing critical support from this voting bloc.

[PenguinBoss]

Harris is certainly doing a shit job with the Muslim vote, but I don't know what mental gymnastics they have to do in order to think Trump will treat them better.

Harris will give the generic "Israel has the right to defend themselves" but Trump is more likely to say that Israel is entitled to whatever it wants like he does with Russia.

Admittedly most Muslim leaders have come out and said just that.  “Trump is buddies with Israel and has business there, he will cheer if they kill more people.”

[Belize]

The election is going to be close just like it always is. (National popular vote margins: 2 points in 2004, 4 points in 2012, 2 points in 2016, 4 points in 2020.)

But we do not have third party candidates to take up 3-5 points in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania so that Trump can win like he did in 2016. 

So Harris will have a Bush 2004, Obama 2012-level victory.

I think I'm gonna actively avoid political news from now until the end of the election. I learned my lesson from 2016; I will actually vote and I will ignore the polls. I did my part with early voting. I feel the rest now is highly speculative bullshit meant to placate and fear-monger.

Trump’s Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults

I have the feeling that he doesn't want to win, or intend to be president for another 4 years even if he does win. He's going full bigot on stage, he's leaving his fans to stand in the cold for hours, he punked out of all debates, he only has "concepts" of plans, and his heart isn't in it. He doesn't seem to want their votes but they're so dumb he can't shake them off.

I cannot imagine President Vance, the mere thought turns my stomach. That guy is something only 4chan could shit out.

He doesn’t want to be president, he wants to not go to jail.

MSG rally was a callback to a Nazi rally that was held at MSG in the 30s. It proved he does want to be like Hitler but the people will vote for him and regret it once he’s making everyone pay.

The floating island of garbage and calling it Puerto Rico was disgusting and not even a flex of any kind being that the US is supposed to be responsible for it in some way

Oh I totally agree but it's also starting to feel like he's kind of over everything, even this obvious ploy to dodge jail time. If I were that worried about prison and this was my way out, I don't think I'd be taking gambles with questionable people but maybe this is his age and exhaustion showing.

[1pooh4u]

Just leaving this here as evidence of what a shitty racist rag the New York Post really is. Please note what they declared as shameful. Not the racist comedy about PR being a floating garbage island or Black people making Jack o lanterns out of watermelons but this, an actually fair and historical assessment of what that rally was

 

Trump promised to deport migrants, to open camps and to use the military against Mexican drug cartels he also declared some American citizens as the enemy within. 

[André Toulon]

Just on the topic of jail, Trump will never spend a day behind bars, win or lose. That entire thing is just entertainment. Call me pessimistic, but that very clear elder brain that most are ignoring on the campaign trail will be used to help him dodge prison if he doesn't win.

His assets will be gutted but he'll be out in some sort of compromising watched care in lieu of actual prison time.

If his brain goes, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in assisted living of some sort at Mar-A-Lago.  I'm voting today (on my break specifically) to make that dream a reality.  When there's nowhere else to run, you run inside.  

He avoids proper jail time on a compassion clause but is monitored for the rest of his life.
