The Democrats could easily take MI-10 but have no inclination to do so.

I know many people in MI-10 and they are extremely racist Trumpers.

So racist in fact that they split their ticket and voted against John James for the sole reason that he is black.

James won by less than 2,000 votes in 2020.

I live in MI-10 and I know no one like that. My neighbors are Ukrainian and Muslim immigrants with a couple of black families. You seem to attract the worst people. 
 

Your math doesn’t work. Whitmer won the district, so that means more people voted for Whitmer and James than Tudor and Marlinga.

So just looking at Eastpointe, the blackest and most Democratic city in Macomb County, Marlinga got 900 fewer votes than Whitmer and James got 300 more votes than Tudor. That’s almost the entire election right there. Marlinga got less support from black cities. In Shelby Township, the reddest and most MAGA city in the district, James got nearly 2,000 more votes than Tudor. Marlinga got over 2,000 fewer votes than Whitmer. There is no evidence a high amount of people didn’t vote for James because he’s black. He outperformed than Tudor. Start associating with better people.

This is a big deal.  This polling shows that Harris has capitalized on Trump's terrible debate and her own strong performance.   

Not downplaying the debate performance as a possible impact, but there was also a much larger flood of crap quality polling into the PA average over the past month that has impacted analysis of the state.

It's probably also not coincidental that PA has added significance over MI/WI for EC reasons as well. And that Trump seems to be pushing resources to the state at the expense of most of the other battleground states.

Yeah a lot of bogus polls were telling us that a red wave was coming in 2022.

It's partially a repeat of this, but also the junk pollsters targeting PA much more than MI/WI is a function of how Trump's campaign sees the landscape IMO. If you look at the money, their campaign is ceding a lot of ground in MI/WI/AZ/NV and seems to be banking mostly on winning PA/GA and holding NC.

It's another inside straight strategy... But it's really risky and limits the paths to 270

Not so much bogus, just wrong.  They finally learned to understand earlier Trump/GOP voters didn't want to say they were Trump voters and adjusted for that percentage they felt still weren't telling them.  What they didn't realize is by 2022, Trump voters were proud to tell pollsters they would be voting GOP and the overall drop in their numbers was related to people finally getting tired of him and the gop.

While I agree some pollsters struggled to capture the Trump sine wave, the fact remains that many, many garbage polls were dumped to skew averages as part of a deliberate information operation strategy.

If you are referring to the 2020 primary, his strategy was more chalk then people realize... The most sizable and important demo in the D Party are black voters (particularly women), and the first three contests did not have a lot of those voters in them.

His win in SC was practically a guarantee, and after that, the biggest risk was that Pete/Amy/Beto/etc. wouldn't get out. Once they did, it was pretty much over.

Nah, In this case I meant the 2024 general election.  He was losing his various paths and was going to concentrate on just the blue wall states because that was going to be his Little Round Top.
