Megan McCain is a heavy version of Liz Cheney.

In 1981, Reagan zero budgeted NPR but was overridden by Rinos who were distraught at attending DC cocktail parties where they might get flak for it. This is 43 years and a thousand cable stations later; there is no reason for a biased leftwing outfit with grossly overpaid executives like NPR continuing to receive a dime in taxpayer money.

I met Scott in PA in 2020 on the Trump campaign; he radiated energy and ideas and has been the perfect counterpoint to the traditional ground game advantage claimed by the Democrats.

Remember McCain showing up in the Capitol to provide the vote that saved Obamacare after he had promised to end it? These are the Rinos of Arizona, totally lacking character or principles.

Please; at the end of the campaign, he was giving four speeches a day in different locations; this isn’t easy for someone fifty years younger and especially when the man customarily gets four hours of sleep a night.

Success has many fathers; failure is an orphan.

Nostradamus didn’t wear a ridiculous looking toupee. Like the Brit bat who runs Vogue magazine, he’s got a 40 year old’s hair on an 80 year old head.

Their broadcast licenses need to be sold off to the highest bidder; they are currently free and they have betrayed their obligation to serve the public with free and accurate information.

There is certainly precedent for pardons on the first day of his Presidency; Carter did it for the draft dodgers in 1977 and the vast majority of the J6 people were jailed for nothing (not talking about anyone who engaged in violence). You can’t bring back the ones who were killed, the ones who committed suicide, those who lost their families. But this is a first step - a full, free and unconditional pardon.

It is interesting that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are part of the ruling class that “looks down” on the rest of us. Interesting bc Biden was at the bottom of his class at a mediocre law school and Harris flunked the bar exam after graduating from hers. People of such dismal backgrounds usually keep their unwarranted “snobbery” to themselves.

I remember the local paper used to have a paid ad each week entitled “Why do the heathen rage”? As far as Carville is concerned, I think we know what makes that heathen rage.

Always put their last minute garbage (not us) in context; in 2020, the Washington Post/ABC News “poll” showed Biden winning Wisconsin by 17 points. He “won” Wisconsin by zero.4.

Not “unskewing” the polls or anything else. I just find it odd that: 1) she weighted the poll at 2 percent Rs when they are +10 in voting; 2) identified the most important issues as “democracy” at 51 percent and “abortion” at 22 percent. So Iowa farmers, their suppliers and their families are so concerned about “democracy” and not inflation, the war on gas powered vehicles, the general economy and the border invasion?? How about “unskewing” tonight’s Virginia poll in a state Biden won by 10 which says its tied statewide and our Senate candidate is within less than a point of Tim Kaine?? Virginia is no longer a Red state, certainly nothing like Iowa, yet its tied here and Trump is supposedly four points behind in Iowa>>??

And Kamala is making a surprise trip to NYC tonight so she can appear on Saturday Night Live; the same SNL that somehow never noticed that Joe Biden was senile nor found anything to criticize in him until it made no difference.

Yes, the economy, high inflation, gas prices (especially for farmers), an open border and rising crime are of no interest to the voters in Iowa, at least according to this poll.

Just do a Google search using “Rich Baris Twitter” and you will see his posts. He is an experienced pollster and has his own podcast, often in conjunction with Attorney and Betting Expert Robert Barnes. He is predicting Trump will win by 1.5 to 2 points nationwide and he seems to be on target.

Selzer destroys her case by doing what lawyers call “gilding the lily”. She could have come out with some questionable figures that would have been more acceptable but instead has a man running four points behind when he is several points ahead of his 2016 and 2020 polls in the states like Iowa where he was strongest - such as Florida and Texas. And the importance of the “questions” is laughable - 51 percent cite “democracy’ as the most important issue in a time of great danger, disappearing jobs and rampant inflation.

Why, then, did she weight this poll at R+2 when Rs are +10 in Iowa? Why did she focus on the issues of abortion and democracy as the two biggest issues among voters in the state?? The amorphous “democracy” got 51 percent while “abortion” got 22 percent as the most important issues? Only seven percent cited the economy or inflation (Iowa must be a real outlier) and apparently no one cares about an open border, unrestricted immigration and crime.

Byron York just twittered Trump’s schedule for the next two days: 3 events in Pennsylvania, 2 in North Carolina and 1 in Georgia. The fact that he has nothing set for Wisconsin or Iowa either means he has given up on them (not likely for Iowa as he needs its six electoral votes) or he feels reasonably assured of carrying them.

The Dems and their media supplicants have put together their closing theme - Harris has the momentum, women are voting early in huge numbers for her, and a huge number of “Republicans” are listening to warmonger Cheney and a few other dorks. Each of these points can be, and is disproved.
