Swift-boating has worked before, why not give it another shot? Exactly, and the side that it worked for had a more sensible base at that point, so it's even more likely to work up to a certain point again now

His skinsuit might be on too tight. His response to a reporter asking him what made him happy was unhinged. This man is a professional foot shooter.

If I was a Republican, I would be very concerned about the number of Abortion ballot measures on the November ballots..... Arizona certifies abortion access measure for the November ballotwww.npr.org/2024/08/13/g-s1-16714/arizona-abortion-access-measure-ballotWith this on the AZ ballot, I now predict an easy win in November for Harris/Walz. Historically, this types of initiatives drive Dem voters to the polls more than Republican ones. Why? Dem voters are like herding cats, they need a reason to vote. This is a reason for them to vote. Republican voters always vote anyway, so there are no new voters to drive to the polls. In addition, Dems have been very successful in these state-by-state ballot initiatives on Abortion, even in Red states. Tying them to the President, House and Senate races is a terrible strategy for Rs. If a Dem voter shows up to vote for the ballot measure on Abortion then they will probably vote Blue down the ticket.

I can only chuckle at the truth of your statement that Dems need a reason to go vote, and that abortion is it while Trump's GoP is running amok. It really shows that human nature can normalize some of the most absurd situations.

Now media lensing is suggesting Trump has….very little on Harris. Because from the UK and my preferred news source, it seems he’s still wibbling on about Biden.
Is that an at all accurate impression?

Is there some meaning to that spelling, or is it just a typo?
It makes me think “Kamabla Espanol?”

I assumed it was a play on her talking too much due to being a woman or something. It's entirely possible Trump slurred it and then went with it though, with no meaning at the time.

Did he say it or mistype it in a tweet?

They used it multiple times, when the media asked the Trump campaign to clarify if Kamabla was a typo or an insult, the campaign just kept repeating Kamabla to all questions.

Not Presidential election, but a key Senate race for control of the Senate this year. www.npr.org/2024/08/16/g-s1-17155/why-the-last-democrat-standing-in-montana-is-skipping-the-dncWhy 'the last Democrat standing' in Montana is skipping the DNCThe map for Dems was very tough, but if this guy holds on.... well.... there is a chance. However, Montana has been getting more Red. We will see if Tester can ride a Blue Wave this year. The GOP has tried really hard to take Tester out in the past. Since I live in a border region to Montana, I have personally seen the blitz. However, the people of Montana have liked what he has done. That said, as local politics bleed into National now more than ever, it might not be enough. Edit: Controversial MN Rep Ilhan Omar won her primary. She did not face the same level of challenge as other Progressive "Squad" members who lost, Bowman and Bush. AIPAC largely stayed out of it. Probably because she was seen as a stronger candidate than the other two former Squad members. She is pretty popular in her district, but new congressional districts in the area added a more suburban element. Her opponent had narrowly lost last time, but this time they did not perform as well. Omar will most likely be back in Congress as her district votes pretty Blue.
