      It’s amazing what a marginal shift in the polls will do to career savvy bureaucrats. These people were clammed up tight a month ago, when Biden was lagging Trump by double digits. But now Harris takes a small lead and whispers “Republican in my administration” and the floodgates absolutely burst.

      I wouldn’t trust any of these mercenaries as far as I could throw them, but I’m absolutely here for the spectacle.

        I hope the floodgates really do burst. If she could win by 10% in the popular vote, and take all the “battle states” and a couple supposed red states to boot it will do to things. Put the nail in the coffin, and all their Extremists will try to say it was all stolen and get themselves all in trouble and hopefully forever out of the way of progress

          That won’t happen. If you look at the spread after the battle grounds, you’re talking about a 5-10 point gap even after her current optimistic post-DNC bump.

          Republicans will enjoy a rump caucus indefinitely, unless Democrats seriously overhaul how they operate in the redder states.

      “Make Assholes Great Again”

      Takes off red cap and stares intently at the four letters. Turns to their friend, “Are we the baddies assholes?”
