It helps when you have the embodiment of “is this a human smile” on the other side.

“How long have you worked here?”
“And you, how long have you worked here?? Yeah Ok Yeah.”
“How long has this place been open? Yeah Yeah.”
“YOU! NEW PERSON! HOW LONG have you worked here??”

Can you imagine political party conventions in Canada?

Conservative Party Convention: featuring performance by Nickelback and speaker Jordan Peterson!

Who would Liberal convention speakers be? Drake? Lol

Nah. Drake's predilection for underage girls puts him squarely in the libertarian crowd.

Yeah I don't get it. Was this supposed to make him look like your average likeable hometown Walz kind of guy?

Well, it didn't work.

You do know we have both annual and leadership party conventions? I don't think there are big name performers but there is typically music.

I really don't mind the entertainment breaks in a US convention. Speech after speech would be a lot. Especially for people standing there.

I love it when a politician, who clearly has never worked a day in his life, tries to mingle with the common folk.

The thing about Vance though, is that he claims to be common folk.

Mike Lindell? He's not a politician, but he badly wants to be one. JD Vance could not be normal even if he got a clean bill of health.

Walz would have gone behind the counter, greeted all of the staff, hugged the server, paid for the orders for everyone in the shop, posed for photos, and tipped 100%.

I think Harris will outperform the current polls by a lot.

I never thought I'd see someone worse than Palin. Crazy how unlikable Vance is

I think the black lady saying "I don't want to be on camera" foiled the whole plot.

Take a look at the graph on RCP for PN. She just continues to trend upwards. Even Rasmussen, a notoriously R-leaning pollster, only has Trump +1. I believe he was +5 with them a week ago.

I've also been reading that they've had a huge surge of volunteer registrations in Florida over the last few weeks, so that could be back in play at some point as well.

Like I said a couple of days ago; I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think the final map will be closer to 2012 than 2016 or 2020.

EDIT: Trump won Maine's second district by about 8 points in 2020 and is currently trailing Harris there by 5.
