Think positive.

So right before Biden dropped out, I think the numbers were starting to trend like they are right now in the opposite direction. I think we'll start to see some swing state polls that are equally as impressive as this national one. I think it was the state polls that convinced some Dem party leaders to convince Biden to drop out. The Republicans don't have this out anymore, they cannot replace Trump, and even if they could the's damaged the party so much there is no one out there. Having a VP ready in the wings was a godsend for Democrats.

Dems in array! As someone who has followed politcs and campaigns my entire life, I have never seen anything like what is happening in the Democratic Party right now. It's the ultimate case of having your shit together. They gamed all of this out. They are not leaving avything to chance. They have run a perfect campaign so far and what they're doing this week with this Harris-Walz full tilt campaign is a stroke of genius. Common thought is you do a couple small events to introduce the VP, but you really wait until the convention to begin your barnstorm type multi events a day campaign. Democrats recognized that there is a growing movement and as much excitement around a candidate as anyone has ever seen, so they launched a full on campaign this week, you get out there and define your ticket whe there's a wave of interest.

I believe in about 6 weeks, the main things the party will be talking about is how big the blue wave can be and what the path to holding the Senate will be while the House will be considered totally in the bag.
