Don't take poll numbers too seriously. Trending direction and independents in battleground states are more important.

Also never underestimate The Left's motivation and their ability to manufacture another dozen "crises" till Nov.

As for Biden camp bringing out heavy hitters like Obama(s), it also runs some risk. ===> Contrary to Biden's convention closing argument wrt his character and competence.

And neither Obama (if too partisan, and of course they will be) will persuade any "true" independents to the Biden/Harris ticket.

I expect Trump to roast Biden all week. He’s hiding. He can’t deliver a live speech. He’s afraid to debate. He won’t travel. He won’t have a news conference.

Goad him over and over. And if Biden refuses to deliver? Well, that says a lot.

I’m really not sure at this point how impaired Biden really is. If he shows up for a debate, he may not actually embarrass himself. But I want to see it for myself.

Biden should be required to do weekly “Proof of Life” events.

When leftist push polls showed Trump gaining pre DNC convention I thought they were just setting up to crow about the convention of all conventions. The pollsters, I thought, would show a 20 point bounce for Biden. I’m not sure what scam they’re pulling here but it’s not the usual push polling convention dynamic.

Biden has most likely been reduced to flipping his finger back and forth across his lips and going bibbity bibbity bibbity.

The lag can be wiped out in one fell swoop if all the frauds that threaten the integrity of the November 3rd election can be put into place swiftly enough. If a clear winner cannot be declared within two days of the election, the situation will be muddied enough for the results to be ruled “inconclusive”, and that is good enough to fuel up a decent insurrection. Of course, if Trump loses (a very real possibility), the insurrection will go forth anyway, just to make a point. If Trump wins, the insurrection will proceed as originally planned.

Any way it turns out, there is going to be a very rough few weeks or months while the insurrection proceeds. The first Civil War took four years. With the vastly improved technology developed since then, it should last no more than four years this time.

Damn Straight.

The media does nothing but lie, yet can’t understand why we don’t believe one single word they say.

I can see him making it so long as Biden has read his points multiple times over in his house.

“The pollsters, I thought, would show a 20 point bounce for Biden. I’m not sure what scam they’re pulling here but it’s not the usual push polling convention dynamic.”

The pollsters still oversampled and are contriving some kind of bounce (non-existent) but the numbers from the ratings of the convention could not support a 20 point bounce.

I’m expecting a MAGA bounce for the President this week. His forceful speeches will be a stark contrast to Biden’s weak performance last week. People will see a vigorous, sometimes humorous, sometimes compassionate, consistently strong leader. The contrast will be dramatic. The President looks 60. Biden looks 85.

Shrinking Lead

Even our lies, delusions and surreal pronouncements are not enough to save you.

they went first and offered nothing. Then Trump announced his strategy for the next 4 years- short and sweet.

I'm really surprised by how "flat" and lifeless that DNC convention was. It was hard for even the fawning MSM to gin up much excitement about it. The highlight appears to have been Joe Biden delivering a boring carefully scripted 30-minute speech from his basement with no errors. Was it live or was it Memorex? We'll never know and neither will we care as he had nothing interesting to say anyhow.

As for Kamala, it's almost like she dropped off the face of the earth. She seems to be adding no pizzazz to the ticket whatsoever.

Trump now has the opportunity to put on a show this week at the RNC. I hear he will be doing a live speaking event every night this week on national TV. Good! This will highlight just how lifeless the Biden campaign is.

Biden in his basement. This is not a winning strategy for the Dems.
