But he has a plan and it’s almost ready. 

That argument never worked in high school (term papers) and still doesn’t work today

Unfortunately, it has appeared to work with his supporters multiple times...

It's clear that his main focus is the PA/GA/NC path and that isn't too surprising (he's going to GR, but that's more for superstition than anything since he always ends there).

But yeah, going to NC more than PA/GA makes me wonder if they see something there that we aren't

He will be about a mile from me in about an hour....

It's a restaurant owned by a Lebanese guy.

The warning signs that were there in 2016 aren’t showing up in 2024.

Laugh for the day. Apparently, Donald didn't like the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala. So he filed a lawsuit against CBS. For 10 Billion dollars!!! You just can't make up this unstable nonsense;

This is a warning shot to the media: if we win, don't **** with us.

Plus add gov't fudging the numbers all year. They have not got a month right for a long while now. Nothing to see here.

 

 The weak October report also included substantial downward revisions from previous months. August was cut to just a gain of 78,000 while September’s initial estimate came down to 223,000. Together, the net revisions lowered previously reported job creation totals by 112,000.

Cool story.

Worked in 2016.

If he in fact loses, one of the many benefits will be the possibility of never hearing "but 2016" ever again

The October jobs report is miserable. I hope whoever is president next week figures out how to correct it.

Now that inflaion is under control, it appears that you are looking for a new economic problem that doesn't really exist.

That was my immediate first impression of the complaints about this job report: the fact that we spent the last three years being told how jobs reports were irrelevant and CPI was what mattered.

Sign of the times I guess... Lol

My wife and I waited over an hour this morning to execute our civic duty. Reports are that half the registered voters here in North Carolina have already casts their votes. The voting site nearest us has consistently had wait times of 1.5 hours or greater. Thankfully the weather was pleasant this morning.

It may work again unfortunately. I’ve spent enough time doing volunteer customer service, information desk stuff to know that we are outnumbered by clueless people

The restaurant Trump is going to in Dearborn is The Great Commoner.   More of a breakfast and lunch outfit, they close at 9. No alcohol, many places here don't serve it because some devout Muslims can't even be at a place that sells it so they don't bother.  It's quality food for sure, but also expensive, not worth it to me.... but we found out recently the owner makes homophobic comments so we don't plan on going back.

For some people Gaza can be overlooked if they share hate of other people.

Each of Trump's death threats is aimed at a different audience.  The next Vice President, GOP chairperson of an investigative committee or the next CJCS know that unsatisfactory service to his needs will result in death.  

How is he still close?  Lets hope its a landslide against him in fact.

Poll has Trump up 5 in ME-02. He won it by 7 in 2020. More district level polling going in Harris favor and this is a rural white district. The polling also had Golden winning big.

I'm guilty as anyone of using the "but 2016" argument. That said, it will be nice to be potentially be able to put that argument to bed once and for all if we pull this off.
