I think that scenario is unlikely.

Merchan is back pedaling. He’s either been instructed to lay low because anything done to Trump that would interfere with the election would be so transparent that it would destroy Harris’ campaign OR he fears being over turned on appeal or some other legal repercussions because his daughter has created a conflict of interest which should have resulted in him recusing himself but didn’t.

But Trump is hated by many Republicans, as well.


That says more about them, than it does about Trump.

RFK Jr would have been a better candidate for either party. Compromise that both aren’t happy with but both can live with. There’s an awful lot of hate on both sides that will lead to the end of the Republic

By any measure, Trump and Vance are outworking Harris and Walz. They do interviews with any news outlet, more rallies, and seem to be all over social media.

Harris and Waltz have infested YouTube advertisements to the point that I have stopped bringing up music videos. They seem to be putting a great deal of effort into that channel.

I have noticed that the people who put up Biden signs in their yards in earlier times are not putting up Harris signs now.

Anecdotal but seems like 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 Harris or Harris supporting PAC ads for every Trump Vance ad in these platforms

Harris has a lot more money than Trump. According to reports, Harris raised $300 million in August compared to $130 million for Trump.

Funny how the party of "The Little Guy" always has a lot more campaign cash than the GOP.

It won’t be a nught of screams for Harris. It will be a night of relief.

Trump is the nominee because we voted for him.

I disagree. (So, what? People disagree all the time on this forum)

RFK has a terrible speaking voice that ruins his ability to make solid public appearances. That matters. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does. A "better candidate" absolutely must have good stage presence and some acting skills.

There is also the minor point that I do not find RFK to have an acceptable position on anything other than the forced mRNA treatments and disclosure of all records pertaining to the Kennedy assassinations. I do hope that Trump will appoint RFK to a specific position in his administration where he will do something on those topics.

There’s an awful lot of hate on both sides that will lead to the end of the Republic

So there is then. I see Trump as the last, best chance to fix that problem. If he fails or is cheated out of the Presidency (again) we will have a civil war and the end of the Republic.

Best to have contingency plans for several different outcomes.

That said, having RFK Jr. on Trump’s side is a big plus.

From the ads I’ve been seeing, Kamala, and the Democrats have only one issue -abortion.

True, but the corrupt press lied about Biden being 'sharp as a tack' and they're lying about Harris taking 'conservative positions'. She hasn't - Harris read a teleprompter filled with words written by a professional speechwriter. She's lying and press toadies know she's lying.

I don’t watch tv and block all ads on my devices, so I have zero sense of the pulse of the ads.

Will anyone pay attention to these increased adds. I do not believe they get the bang for the buck that is intended.

Also true on college football games involving swing state teams like UM, MSU, UW, PSU, UA, ASU, UGA etc. Numerous Harris/Walz adds, nothing from Trump/Vance. Slick, professional, well-done adds that make her look like a crusading outsider taking on the establishment fighting for the common man and woman, not someone whose been part of the administration for the last 3½ years as the countries has spiraled downward.

I expect they will be run during NFL games involving swing state teams too.

Volumes...Just proves that like her idol Hillary, she will “stand by her man” and be a low class doormat, if that is what it takes to live in the White House.

And like Hillary, Trash.

An examination of the internals is surprising.

First, they have changed their party affiliation in the turnout model and the surprise is they seem to have done a parallel party survey.

It shows Independents in plurality and Republicans and Democrats at a lesser level. Unweighted they have Republicans and Democrats even.

It is not clear that this is an outright change to their turnout model. Such a change is what lifted Harris, not the responses obtained.

It is post labor day so they are entitled to depart from things like Census for turnout model. But the fact that it elevated Independents and this lifted Trump is pretty encouraging — and remember, this is a national poll which is skewed by the big populations of CA and NY having such a huge Dem lead.

If it were 2 months earlier, with these numbers, we could expect her to be replaced.
