"If the local Democrats aren’t flooding the airwaves with messages about him being too chickenshit to come within 20 miles of Milwaukee, then they should probably get out of the winning elections business."

I've been in Wisconsin in July. I was living in Skokie with the future mother of my children and it was the week the factory closed and we were going camping. We drove all day, it was very hot, and she felt itchy. We camped out, and it turned out to be the chicken pox (she subed school), so we drove home where it continued v. hot. I didn't complain even in my heart about my vacation, she was really so miserable. You might think surviving that set us up easily for a lifetime together but it was not to be.

I don't know. That could backfire. Racine County went for Trump and if it's anything like Kentucky, 20 miles is far enough away for it to be home to people who hate Milwaukee, like cities around Louisville hate Louisville. They see it as home to the "elites" who look down on everyone else in the state.

Oh my dude, the Democrats have been the party of losing winnable elections for my entire adult life. Just take two steps back, consider that a convicted felon, fraud, and rapist is leading in the national polls, and then tell me again how the Democratic Party is in the business of winning elections
So calling me a sucker is especially unhelpful, and you're welcome to ignore the real threat if you want, but that's kind of what I'm talking about, isn't it? You're talking about a few percentage point swing that polls might be missing (NB - the polls are usually biased in the MAGA direction, because some of the people who vote for them don't actually want to admit they intend to do it) but I agree the polls are probably wrong. That doesn't mean the guy doesn't have 70-90 million vote support, despite all of this baggage, and the election is absolutely in play. We can all sit back and repeat the "There is no way America will elect this guy" mistake, but I'd kind of rather we not do that.
The NY Times (huh?) just put out an article showing that the polling data is skewed as when it gets broken down into people who actually vote then Biden is ahead by several points and that traditional polling has broken down due to the sad fact that so much of the electorate can't even be bothered to vote.
So as Dems are motivated by existential doom and MAGAts are heavily represented by the semi-occasional identitarian voting bloc who feel like elections are rigged anyway then the polls showing a closer race are not reflecting actual trends in the electorate.

lol. I always miss the best bits.
they just forgot to take the safety off...
ooooof
I just liked my own post, fuck yeh i did.
As pre-creepy Woody Allen said. "There's nothing wrong liking your own posts. After all it's non-commenting with someone you love."
You satisfy yourself however you want.
What's wrong with that?

Just to be fair we should note that the heat in Mojave is a dry heat.
Rashomon for Dummies
as a former Chicago resident, I feel like it's important to point out that Milwaukee isn't Green Bay.
Coherent thoughts aren't on the platform of the republican party this year...
Again.
He’s just pissed he can’t have his stupid convention at the White House again. What a shitshow THAT was.
Explanation no whatever: Donald did say Milwaukee was horrible but he really didn't mean it, you know what a kidder he is.
Wait, Trump said something, and four eyewitnesses came forward to offer four differing accounts of what he said?
HE'S JESUS

Ta, Gary. Great way to get votes.
Ta, Gary. Lies, lies, damned lies, and more lies.

Trump's pretty certain that this "Milkwalking" is some Gay Pride thing in Canadada.

Hah, hah - you take the polls at face value! Sucker.

You know what I'm looking at?
I'm looking at every election after 2016 where the Republicans lost miserably or underperform so horribly that it might as well have been a loss.
Why aren't the polls reflecting that?
