I'm going to be a freaking gazillionaire when Michelle is elected.

[jon-nyc]

lol

Odd that Vance isn’t listed. One of the UK markets puts him a distant third, ahead of Michelle and the other names you see here.

[Jolly]

Kinda expected that.

I think you see them tighten back up, if she continues to stay in her basement.

BTW, notice the behavior of the two candidates? After the debate, Trump left for the spin room and talked awhile. Kamala-lama-ding-dong went directly to her limo and left.

[jon-nyc]

The daily show link shows a montage of him claiming polls say he won 92-7 or something.

[Doctor Phibes]

If you listen to him, Trump has never lost anything in his entire life.

Considering how awesome he is, it's a little hard to understand why he always looks so bloody miserable.

He's fatter bigger than Jesus!

Ayup. Good week for Kamala. Will be interesting to see how much it affects the polls next week.

[LuFins Dad]

The first poll post-debate showed Kamala got the win, but Trump improved his position by .5% https://nypost.com/2024/09/11/us-news/kamala-harris-opens-up-narrow-lead-over-donald-trump-post-philadelphia-debate/

Maybe now that Trump will be sentenced for his felony conviction a few weeks after the election? If he was sent to prison in late September, I bet Vance's odds would've gone up.

[Jolly]

If Trump wins, what is his sentence?

[Horace]

It's an unestablished precedent, whether a president can pardon himself. I believe Roberts mentioned that the court has "luckily" never faced a need to make that decision.

Moot question in this particular case - this is a state charge.

[jon-nyc]

I can’t imagine his sentence would ever include jail time.

But maybe the judge could craft a suicide order under the guise of community service?

I can.

TDS is a strong emotion.

And a useful diversionary tool.

Just imagine how bad it would have been if Donald had performed well in the debate…

[jon-nyc]

Where’s that from? Nate has Harris ahead in PA, WI, MI, and NV.

With the exception of four states, the very definition of "coastal elites".

Yeah, he updated the models 15 minutes after I posted. I think it’s Kamala 50, Trump 47, and a 3% chance of a split?
