    She’s not my favorite by a long shot but far better than Trump.

    I’m not ruling out that she may win - the polls are really iffy, and she is still holding her own in MI/WI/PA.

    Your trolling is tiresome, BTW.

    Yeah, I don't think it's "trolling" when I'm saying the same thing much of the MSM are. She struggles. There. Is that better? More politically correct and less trolly? She can't even answer the most basic of questions and she knows they're coming. It's mind-boggling bad. A quick look into her rise to power explains a lot. There's nothing wrong in admitting that. In fact, if Dems don't come to grips with that, they will continue putting failed candidates up for election. You got lucky with Obama. The last 3 you've forced upon us are duds. But this one is especially bad.

    The trolling is your constant we are going to win you’re going to lose nah nah nah blathering.

    I’ve always said she wasn’t a great candidate. I don’t think she’s a bad as you make her out but she isn’t their best.

    Eugene Robinson did a good oped in the WaPo about how unequal the expectations and standards are. Anything less than perfection and she gets hammered. But Trump becomes more of a ridiculous clown every day and people just shrug their shoulders.

    After yesterday looked like disaster for her, today for the first time she leads in the national Rasmussen poll. Michigan State U had a poll there today that has her up by four in that state. And Redfield had these today.


    Anyone who thinks they truly know what’s happening one way or the other is speaking on emotion and not data. But if I had to guess, I still honestly believe it comes down to WI and NC unless something changes in the polling we are getting.

    Gallup polling shows Trump has a higher approval rating than Harris.
    Favorable Ratings of Harris, Trump Remain Under 50%

    I’m telling you MSNBC is ruining your brain.

    Yeah, someone else tried playing the gender card in a different thread and that got shut down quickly. It doesn't fly. Kamala is 10x worse than Hillary as a candidate. She's like a malfunctioning robot. She has one script and she hasn't the capability to adapt at all. Nikki Haley (not a fan) would run circles around Kamala. Has nothing to do with gender.

    Perhaps I misinterpreted you. What are the unequal expectations and standards then? That's she's able to answer a simple question without insulting the intelligence of the person asking it? Do you think the CNN political panel is holding Kamala to unequal expectations? They were visibly exasperated by her on Wednesday night. How are they being unfair to her?

    Without watching, I guarantee MSNBC is having an on-air orgasm over Rasmussen's daily tracking poll showing Harris +1. Now they're accurate, lol. Sad part is, if she wins the popular by 1%, she still loses the race. Dems literally celebrating polls that show their candidate losing, while complaining about polls they've leaned on for years.

    Yes you did misunderstood me.

    The point is she has to be on her A game, or she gets hammered. Trump can be a complete buffoon and it doesn’t seem to matter. She answers a question in a needlessly verbose way and she lacks substance. Trump rants aimlessly and incoherently and that’s just Trump being Trump.

    Everybody treats Trump with a ridiculously low standard, including the mainstream media.

    Does gender play a role? Maybe, maybe not, I don’t know, but the same would be true for any D candidate who was by all accounts an average candidate.

    I’d rather see Trump win than Kamala. Either way I’m getting up and going to work the next morning. I worry about some of you on this board.

    It is what it is. Trump is a known quantity, but that's not his problem. We don't have nearly the amount of material on Harris. So we have to decide based on what we've seen and what we've seen is pretty sad. Frankly, in this environment, if a man can win the presidency after being under the microscope like this for 10 years, that's pretty amazing. She tried to sneak through this process and she's been exposed.

    I don't normally follow Patrick Basham's work but the people I do follow seem to think he's pretty solid

    I'm not sure I believe this poll but if Trump shows up to do an event in SW Virginia, I'll think about taking it seriously.

    Although it's been four weeks since the last poll it seems like a real outlier. Also keep in mind that it was a Republican commissioned poll. Edit: Not just Republican Trending Politics the organization that commissioned the poll is very pro Trump.

    I'm not inclined to buy it. Cao has a very significant gap to overcome between him and Tim Kaine. If there was a shot for Trump to win VA, you would expect Cao to be running ahead of Trump. Basically following the Youngkin playbook from '21. That is not happening, so this is last minute crazy time for elections.
