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/

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.

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?

[jon-nyc]

That would put the electoral count in the blue.

Though I think his model assumes some latent level of redward shift over time so maybe not. When he first started posting projections favoring Trump he hinted that if the polls stay the same the model becomes more blue friendly.

PA is basically a coin toss according to the polls, and all the battlegrounds are within the
margin of error. Trump beat the margin of error two elections in a row.

[Horace]

That checks out. Trump is marginal, and also an error.

I went ahead and subscribed for two months.

There's a lot of coast in Illinois, just no elites.
