That's what I thought when Lil Marco was mentioned as a top candidate, but never heard about it then.

I would imagine if Trump tried to change his residency weeks after the RNC to pick DeSantis or Rubio, the Democrats would and should sue. He’s officially the GOP nominee from the state of Florida.

How to Damage Control:

Everyone calm down. Senator Vance was just saying that childless women are miserable in their own lives and want to make everyone else miserable, too. He didn’t mean to bring cats into it and is grateful to Megyn Kelly for the opportunity to clarify his views. 

So what you're saying is he's also had sex with a cat?

How she could bend the knee to a man who said all those things about her father just shows how gutless so called conservatives are. This is exactly who you are since 2008, Meghan.

I bet he doesn't last past the DNC.  He'll replace him w/ a female candidate. 

And I don't wear hats but would absolutely wear a "White Dudes for Harris" tshirt. 

When I'm wearing any tshirt, the "White Dude for" part is pretty obvious.

I think she meant other conservative women friends who support Trump are now reconsidering, not that she was voting for Trump, in the manner of 

“not that he lives in Oklahoma freakshow and I am the idoit.”

So it appears Tucker is mostly to blame, err thank, for dipshit’s selection of JD Vance as VP.

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/trump-has-tucker-carlson-to-blame-for-the-abject-disaster-of-selecting-jd-vance-as-his-running-mate/

the same guy who texted "I hate him (Trump) passionately."?

the same guy who texted in regards to Trump's presidency : “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest; But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”?

the same guy who texted : "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait."?

Yet she reposts every meme about Biden and Kamala. She's just trying to get Vance off the ticket. She's still voting for Trump.

In fairness to Meghan, its not unchristian in MAGA world to say that most immigrants are rapists and criminals. White women feeling personally attacked is unchristian though!

Yep.

And also....look, do I like Meghan McCain?  No.  I do not.  She is plenty piece of shitty, aligned with many of the shittiest of conservative ideas.

BUT....does she have some epic thundercats, and am I distracted by that?  Yes.

I am a simple man, and I should probably be ashamed of that, but I'm too simple to be ashamed.  Quite the internal conundrum.

It's fucking incredible. My dad is an IBEW California hippie who you couldn't pay to say anything nice about a Republican, but even he respects John McCain more than his own daughter.

Was about to say, don't we have a child tax CREDIT.  Now I think it is kind of dumb it is at its least valuable when a kid tends to get the most expensive but I get the whole 18, technically adult, no "requirement to go to college" thing so that's a discussion for another thread BUT yea people who have kids do get a tax benefit over an equally positioned person without kids.  What a moron.

I am not sure how late in the cycle one can change their residency.  Trump would have to, as both DeSantis and Rubio are elected officials for the state of Florida. 

Cheney changed his late July 2000.  

DeSantis could camp out at Tuberville's empty house in Alabama.

I am super glad that some white women, even a lot of white women, have their shit together.  Way to go ladies.

 

But...you're still not welcome to bring your shitty potato salad to the potluck.  Some things are more important than politics.

YouGov fav/unfav (no topline yet)

Harris 44/48 (-4)
Trump 43/53 (-10)
Biden 36/59 (-23) - woof, I hope this rebounds the longer he is out of the race, he's too good of a POTUS for that
Vance 34/43 (-9)

That is a huge bounce back in favorable for Harris, who was kind of languishing in the mid-to-upper 30s as VP.  Outrunning Biden's numbers by 17 points - he made the right call, for sure.

Not that I would ever vote for her, but this is what the gop ought to be leading with. She would be a formidable candidate against any democrat. Instead Dotard has taken over the party and the whacko nutjobs are in control. 

She sounds politically smart, but she cleaves to the tired old songs that used to rouse the hate and disdain. 

Kamala's progressive. We're moving ahead and we're not going back. Good.

Kamala failed on the border. Trump failed on the border and managed to fail on the border when he wasn't even in office.

Kamala is against drilling and fracking. We're going to face the climate crisis. Good. Looking ahead.

Kamala's more progressive than Joe Biden. True! The Republicans are regressive and how is that working? Good.

It finally feels like someone smarter than me is running the campaign. It also feels like people smarter than me and better speakers are beginning to steal the show. 

It also feels like there may be a Democratic rebirth to pull the country out of this hideous spiral to fascism.

Yes, we can! We're not going back! Obamala changes the country. Biden held off the barbarians maybe just long enough.

I think what's happened is fascinating and id love to find a study or conduct one. 

My hypothesis is that the American people got tired of the cookie cutter Nikki Haley types who are just empty shells assigned to a party who have no personal ideology or platform and are just doing what they do for power and noteriety. 

They want to believe that people are fully invested in what they want to accomplish which leads to extremist views and conviction with the speaking. The problem is it's hard to take extremist views seriously right now when it involves reversing clear progress that's been made vs progress that we still want to make. 

I don't think the Democratic platform is one filled with extremism, but there are some aspects that are "too progressive" for some. It's just easier for someone like Kamala to come in the scene and seem like she genuinely gives a shit. 

The songs both sides have been singing for decades have become worn out and ring hollow. Dishonesty hollowed out the GOP songs and, evidently, gets them tuned out by most as soon as the intro starts. Basic out-of-touchness by the Dem leadership aged and hollowed their songs about the threat to medicare and the lukewarm statements about real, current problems such as climate, medical care, and being a good ally. (I hate the way the Dems never found a riposte for "the world is laughing at us." I'd love to see an ad quoting Trump over and over as we see him crowd the queen, toss a fellow head of state aside, get scolded by the European allies, salute a N. Korean general, and consult with fucking Vlad Putin.)

One side found a new, vigorous voice that maintains Democratic themes but applies them enthusiastically to things people care about. This voice is bright, honest, and in-tune.

The other sticks to the old formula which worked so well to drum up hard core support through shameless and dishonest hate mongering. The hate addicts are still down for it, but they're not getting as many people to try out the cult as they used to. 

You're right. The American people were tired of blah-blah-blah, but what was the alternative? Now there is one.

the R strategy isn’t how to win over black voters, it turn into how to throw out their votes / keep them at home on Election Day.
