Awaiting the Next Plot Twist

~Tradition holds that most Americans don't start paying attention to the presidential election until after Labor Day. So on Tuesday morning millions of people are going to be discovering that the one candidate got shot in the head and the other was more effectively dispatched and whoever's actually running the United States no longer feels the need to pretend that the dead husk of a moth-eaten sock puppet is the chief executive of the global superpower.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainians say Moscow is "threatening the world with nuclear catastrophe". Given that an American client state has spent the last month bombing Russia daily, it would be unusual if they were not. But that's no reason to divert the dead husk from another week at his beach house in Delaware.

The removal of Biden has given his successor the proverbial dead cat dead husk bounce. Which appears to be over:

That's if you take polls seriously. Which I don't, except as an indicator of whether the race is within the Margin of Steal. That's why Joe was removed.

That 538 August 14 poll result was crap. No way did Kamala have +14. If 538 is showing Trump at +5 now, it has to be far higher and well beyond any hard to see fraud the Dems could commit in Nov.

Yesterday, in what she hopes will be her only interview before her victory, Kamala demonstrated that she's the perfect candidate if you're looking for someone who's half Biden's age and with even fewer marbles.

LOL! Thank you Mark!

This is not a poll; it’s a projection of who Nate Silver thinks will win (likelihood of winning percentages) based on a complicated analysis of several swing state polls.
