And yet it isn't going to be remotely close. Harris is going to win by a mile. Not worried at all. I am more worried about when Trump cries foul and him and Vance declare victory anyhow.

And yet, the media is basically acting like his 15 minutes in a McDonalds somehow humanizes him more. That's the source of the "gotcha".

If that's the case I'm not worried at all. I'd love to watch the MAGAs cry those delicious MAGA tears.

Wouldn't love the violence that would likely follow in some pockets here and there, but at least with Biden in control of the military and White House right now the Dems would be well supported to bully dumb Republicans out of the way.

What's the big deal of Trump working at his favorite restaurant for a day? I'm sure he loved it as much as pretending to drive the big rig and a fire truck.

I'm sure like most Mickie D's employees (though, obviously, not me...) he stole a bunch of food during his "shift".

Even for a guy that projects non-stop this is some kind of projection, amazing.

I have zero clue how you could be this confident. I mean every single sign absolutely points to a razor, razor thin election.

He absolutely should. Sadly though, if Trump and his cult get back into office, there likely won’t be any more fair elections in the U.S., so the chances of seeing someone like Walz as Prez in the future will be zero.

I’m trying to stay positive but that could be a real possibility, even if he loses.

Sure but defund the police got meaningful changes made to use of force rules in many police forces. It moved the acceptable level of violence for police officers. It’s an excellent example of how being progressive works.

I don't think it close, as long as the vote gets out - and it looks like it is. Not close meaning swing states go 51-49 Democrat. So I guess close, but not close

In the last two elections, Trump has meaningfully exceeded his polling numbers in the rust belt. And he is polling better now than he did in either election.

Wisconsin is a good example. Biden was leading by 6 to 10 points depending on the poll. He won Wisconsin by 0.6%. This year the polls show a dead heat in Wisconsin.

In 2002, Biden led PA by 3 to 4 points, he won by 1 point, This year PA polls show an even race.

Some pollsters claim they have figured this out but hard to believe without evidence.
