Re: 2024
In today's news Trump is trying to split the abortion baby. The republiCONs passed the Trump platform with the unchanged abortion provision, "I will leave it to the states, because that makes everybody happy, and everybody thought that was a great thing." This sh*ts on his hardcore Christian base who want a national abortion ban (and women dying). It does not give solace to old school republicans and will not impress the 70+% majority in the US.

It ain't childish.
In polite society, when someone is upset that they're misrepresented, someone asks them to please clarify.
You refuse to do that...and then call me a child.
I'm done giving you the chance to clarify. If you don't like how I interpret your posts, don't bother complaining. I'm tired of being polite with you and your constant gaslighting, and refusal to use simple, clear language.
You don't like having your ideas challenged or discussed, and think that being intentionally vague fixes this imagined problem.
Re: 2024
If you recall what I have written previously, you know I am no fan of Kamala’s. Two things though. One, she had better credentials in 2020 than Vance does now. Two, and more importantly, she now has four years of experience as vice president so in the experience department, she runs circles around book boy.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 3:46 pmCome on counselor. It isn't exactly like Kamala Harris had excessive talent oozing out of her pores. FTR as the border Czarina did she ever find her way to the southern border? I know she wondered around aimlessly in South America for awhile perhaps looking for some dynamite rancho nuevos.
But much more significantly, he pushes the ticket to the right, not the center. He has virtually no experience in Washington. Do you think he can twist arms on the Hill?
Not saying he is in the Tina Fey look-alike category, but I think this pick will help the Biden/Harris ticket. Feel free to disagree with me.
Re: 2024
Vance has been a senator for a year and a half. That’s it. Obama was in the Illinois state legislature for seven years or so. Plus, he was a senator longer than Vance.get it to x wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 3:34 pmYou're right about credentials. Except for the Marine Corps between HS and OSU his resume resembles Obama's.

Re: 2024
I'm not being vague. I'm just not going to play your stupid game. Get Real -- they're politicians trying to get elected to the most powerful position on earth. They're both going to do what they think gives them the best chance of winning, at any given time. Right now, it's in the best interests of both of them to tone it down. I don't need you to give me a chance to do anything. I don't care what you think. You are just a heckler & a disruptor of rational discourse.a fan wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 4:41 pmIt ain't childish.

Hopefully the puppies in both North Dakota and South Dakota are safe today. Given that Kristi isn’t allowed to enter large portions of her own state, she might be tempted to drift north today.

But literally NO ONE agrees with the 538 forecast. Including Nate Silver (who still owns and operates the old 538 model).
Silver's old 538 model gives Joe a 25% chance. The Economist's forecast also gives Joe a 25% chance.
The poll average in every core swing state has Joe losing currently. Cook Political Report recently moved AZ, GA and NV from toss up to lean GOP. NH and MN are trending into toss up status.
Joe has been behind in the national polling average every day for 9 months straight. -2.7% today; four years ago, Joe was up 8.6%. Since the GOP has an advantage in the electoral college, Joe has to win the national popular vote by 2.5% to win the EC.
Betting markets give Trump a 65% win probability and Joe 18%.
The only reason that 538 has Joe at a coin toss is that 538's model at this point weights the fundamentals more and deeply discounts the current polls. Seems pretty aggressive to me. But as time passes, even 538s model will start moving in Trump's direction if Joe does not poll better.
Seems to me that 538's fundamentals assumptions are pretty lame.
First, the economy is good. Lots of evidence that voters are not feeling good about Bidenomics, regardless of what the GDP and employment numbers are. Second, that incumbency is a big advantage. In today's crabby political environment, incumbency has recently been a hurter rather than a helper. Look at Trump 2020. Look at the Tories in the UK. Out with the bums!
The also had Hillary correctly leading at this point in 2016. She did win the popular vote as polls said. Lost a squeaker in the ec.
Boycott stupid. If you ignore the gator troll, eventually he'll just go back under his bridge.

All I asked was for you to clarify what you meant. All I'm trying to do is be polite.....no other poster gives you this courtesy...yet you take this courtesy as a cue to give me unending grief. I don't get it.
So don't join in the discussion! Why are you whining about this?
For a guy who keeps whining...incorrectly, I might add.....about "censorship", you sure do spend a lot of time telling us what we can and can't post.
Yes, yes. We know. You think that the biggest injustice the world has ever seen isn't poverty, or hunger, or homeless vets....
...it's the FBI keeping Manafort from the White House. We get it. No need for even more whining about this.
