I can’t be the only person to feel like the rushed debate was an attempt to bring events to a head before it was too late. Must have been a sad acceleration over the past couple months. This time since has been to coalesce everyone into supporting Kamala. Tragic turn of events.

- if this was September- absolutely. Time to break glass. But in July it would be malpractice to turn the world upside down until the effect of the immunity decision is baked in to polling. 70% disapproved of the ruling and it only came out 2 days ago. Plenty of time for an informed decision

Call me crazy, but shouldn’t any decision of such titanic proportions wait until the public weighs in on whether they would prefer an Orange God-King based on a SCOTUS ruling from F-ing Monday!!

Will declare there is no federal question and by this time if he is president will be sentenced by NY to probation.

AND if some jacked-up flunky overheard that conversation and proceeded to go into the crowd and do what he heard his god say he wanted, that conversation couldn’t even be introduced as evidence 🤮

More aptly “are you more or less likely to vote for Trump after the SCOTUS ruling”. If they had the guts to ask.

Seems appropriate to see what the voters feel about the possibility of a Trump unfettered by the law, doesn’t it???

Maybe the political genius pundits should cease further self-gratification until after polls take into effect the public’s feelings about the possibility of a Trump believing he can president as a mob boss, as opposed to just thinking he is one?

People need to realize that for 10s of millions it was the first time to see Trump in his full mania and factor that into the calculus of the effect for non- political pundits. The only people that really matter.

When there is absolutely no change in the polls (or even a possible positive one) what are all these geniuses going to say??? Let’s not forget- that was also the first time millions of people got to see Trump’s mania first-hand…

People reacting as if the next poll will be 80-20. If anything, a couple points to no difference because the damn choice remains the same. A loudmouth liar charlatan surrounded by a bunch of mini- Goebbles vs. a President who has has executed policies to try to better the lives of all Americans.

How come education is so much better for the godless heathens in New England than in Oklahoma or Louisiana or wherever if it’s all about pushing the 10 Commandments or the Bible on students? Unless it’s *gasp* not really about education????

Unsolicited advice: if you can swing it, jettison Montreal altogether and go to Quebec City instead. Soooooo much nicer a city in every way.

Since we are speculating- he DID say a few days ago that the next president would probably get the chance to name 2 or 3 new justices…🤔🤔🤔

Showing my age- Dan Cortese was referred to in an episode of Seinfeld as a “mimbo”. I guess it didn’t properly enter the zeitgeist though.🤷♂️

Based on in quick reading of this- state law requiring insurance for firearm possession would meet muster ( except for Thomas, of course). Pretty explicitly.

Shockingly, this in- depth analysis of the youth vote going towards Trump doesn’t say word one about abortion, birth control, LGBTQ rights or any of the actual topics that they care about. The election hinges on TikTok? What a lazy “analysis”

Meant as a stand alone observation- not part of the “generation” simplification. Just that he is going to do significantly better with his cohort than Ds traditionally- maybe make up for much ballyhooed weakness with the youngs (who are not reliable voters). Just a feeling.
