    I think this will be one of the rare occasions where we'll see a post-convention slide in the numbers for both candidates. I predict we'll see Harris' numbers fall a bit with the DNC, because with a Harris-Walz ticket, you know that Convention will get very loose. There will be lots of speeches that are more radical than we've ever heard at a convention before and it'll reveal more about Harris than she is willing to talk about. Without looking, I wonder if she's going to let Squad members speak at the DNC? A radical DNC could hit Harris' polling numbers.

    To the extent that members of the squad will be speaking at all it will be almost certainly not be in prime time. Obviously just a guess the prime time speakers at the DNC would most likely include popular governors of swing states like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, both of whom won their recent elections by significant margins running against MAGA Republicans supported by the rapidly fading cognitively diminished former president. If anything the DNC will give a post-convention bump to a ticket already with significant momentum.

    The people love Harris…. I saw on social media there is a movement to get her to come to Florida to see if she can fill Daytona Speedway… think she can do it?

    Let’s not forget Senators Oz and Walker. How pathetic is a person that gets their jollies from trolling a message board? It’s middle school level stuff.

    That would probably be a stretch although yesterday there was a long line of supporters who waited in 100 degree plus in heat to see her in Glendale, Arizona.

    I guess when there are no positive polls to post you start a thread about what you HOPE the polls will say a month from now.

    I suspect she’ll widen her lead immediately following the convention and then the polls remain more or less like that until the election.
