How confident are you this election day?

20. Thanks-interesting post

I go to Hapy Hour occasionally at a local dive bar. No one talks politics and at the 5 O'Clock hour they usualy have the news on and turned up. Well political ads came on and one of Trump's lying ads about Kamala and trans prisoners came on. A couple guys that I know are Republicans started making fun of how ridiculous that ad was and were laughing at it as being stupid and irrelevant. At that point, I think I realized those over the top ads Trump was running weren't hitting like his team thought they were, more Republicans weren't falling for this idiotic and pointless culture war memes anymore.

Yeah, sometimes you get this vibe about the general mood of the electorate..granted it is never 100%. But your analysis pretty much sums it up there. I don’t think any of their stunts from the last week worked..that garbage stuff was ridiculous.

So the transphobic stuff may backfire huh? Excellent..

I also had flashbacks to 2008 when Vance became a punchline back in July-August, very soon after appearing on the national scene .

It reminded of the Sarah Palin thing..each ticket had/has a rather old man at the top and supposedly fresh talent downticket: a pit bull soccer mom then, a hillbilly bootstrap puller now . And both turn out to be damp squibs to put it politely.
