Polls are basically in the place where an actual campaign will change things. Wasn't the case with Biden in - even the safe states started yielding swingy numbers.

I'd just be freaked in Donnie's camp - Donnie got shot at, had the RNC, knocked out the old candidate, picked his VP, and he's only a slight favorite? And Harris clearly has The Big Mo this week? Woof.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1817595886693712055?t=Lxa8BBgHkiw2DHQylrVbtA&s=19

The race went from polls being able to tell you who was going to win, to a race where polls aren't going to be able to tell you who's going to win. At this exact moment, Donnie's a probable slight favorite, but not by much anymore. It's tied.

I think it's reasonable to be skeptical and I do believe those are good reasons it could be close. However, the republican enthusiasm didn't decline in a vacuum. Trump destroyed the goodwill he gained from getting shot in his two hour long acceptance speech and JD Vance is a horrible VP pick.

It's also weird that the republican's don't have effective attack lines for Harris by now. They had 4 years, they knew she was at least going to be the VP pick. They should of at least had something to throw at her for the VP debate. But no, they went all in on "Biden old" and now they are scrambling to find something. I am starting to think they are not running a competent campaign.

Don’t worry the old tried and true “black women” attack angle will always be used.

It’s very funny because last year I was in despair that there was no up and coming Dem talent in the wings if Biden kicks the bucket. Feels a bit better now but I’d still like to see some 40-50 year olds stepping up for future runs.

For those wondering, the MAGA logic is that Harris has stepchildren and Walz and his wife needed IVF to conceive, so Trump and Vance are therefore ultra-manly and virile because they had direct biological kids of their own without medical assistance.

This might be a concern if the line of presidency was hereditary and not elected.

On balance I thought it was a good acceptance speech and I’m happy to see Trump absolutely floundering and hope he continues to crater, but it doesn’t mean anyone has to be all swoony in hearing Kamala make repeated references to law enforcement and her career in law enforcement and our brave law enforcement officers, etc. moving the Democrats further to the right on the border or for what were some really tepid remarks on Israel.

No. Calling out doomers is fine. It’s a little loving late to now to have a viable alternative candidate for office so constantly whining about how nothing will change and it’s all poo poo is exhausting.

Like he laid wreathes at the tomb of the unknown soldier with two troops that got blown up in the Afghanistan withdrawal bombing, but the takeaway is the above picture, him yelling about his Chief of Staff confirming the suckers/losers thing, and threatening to pull out of the debate. His galaxy brain cannot be made normal.

Kamala can't possibly dickstep hard enough to come out looking worse than him, can she?
