Palin I feel was like Dubya; they were both decent and respected governors, iirc. However, as soon as they got on the main stage (VP fronteunner in 08 for Palin, and Bush's entire presidency), every thing started to crumble. Dubya for instance, was a fantastic orator when he was governor, and when he became president, in came the Bushisms.
Harris was unlikable to most at the start, and her unlikability collapsed her campaign. She continues to be depreciating asset for Biden and Democrats; anyone else, even Beto would be better. She lacks the charm and "Hope and Change" peddling and imagery of Obama.
There is no lightning in her bottle to capitalize on.

Or among your own generation you tend to pick your friends, but with older relatives that doesn't happen. Vaguebooking and oversharing are pretty rampant among young people too, especially the trashy ones.

Focus group: Michigan swing voters think Harris will act as president

Several Michigan voters who are sticking with President Trump think that if Joe Biden gets elected, Sen. Kamala Harris will be running the show — and her Wednesday debate performance reinforced their view.
Why it matters: These are some of the few voters for whom the vice-presidential pick has outsized importance in how they view the two tickets, and for now that's benefitting Trump.
This was the biggest takeaway from our special post-vice presidential debate Engagious/Schlesinger focus group with 13 voters who chose Barack Obama in 2012 but Trump in 2016.
- Two of them will vote for Biden, both because of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy.
- While a focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, the responses show how some voters are thinking and talking about the 2020 election in crucial states.
- Biden leads Trump by about 6 percentage points in Michigan in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
- And while some even liked what Harris had to say at the debate, they remain skeptical of change. “I’m going to have to stick with [Trump] because I don't know if the Left will make due on the promises they’re saying right now,” said Adam M.
- Others described feeling “scared” because Harris “actually did a better job than Pence,” as one participant put it.
- “I’m fearful of this woman because she knows how to strike chords with the people of America,” said Matt T. “She’s basically utilizing everything that has happened this year to attack the Trump campaign and she does it in such a way that she’s making really strong points, but I don’t think they’re true. So she’s coming across very powerful.”
- Some mocked her hand gestures, but most thought she appeared more prepared for the debate than Pence.
- Several Trump voters described Pence’s debate performance as lacking “energy” and “emotion,” and they were largely frustrated that he didn’t answer most of the questions asked.
- Guy D., who’s voting to re-elect President Trump, said he felt “a little disappointed” watching Pence Wednesday night “because it seemed like he didn’t get to the point.”
"These voters thought Harris did too well at the debate, with many saying they’re now fearful she’ll boost Biden’s chances to win because of how she connects with the American people."
What?

What they’re saying: “Biden’s not going to make it four years, so Kamala Harris is going to be president and I have zero trust she can be president, so I’m just picking the lesser of two evils at this point,” said Shelley D. Everyone else in the group agreed.
- Two of them will vote for Biden, both because of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy.
- While a focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, the responses show how some voters are thinking and talking about the 2020 election in crucial states.
- Biden leads Trump by about 6 percentage points in Michigan in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Between the lines: These voters thought Harris did too well at the debate, with many saying they’re now fearful she’ll boost Biden’s chances to win because of how she connects with the American people.

The weird thing about gender politics is that the left thinks that if they have a Strong Woman on the ticket, women are more likely to vote for that ticket. Meanwhile, in the real world if there's one thing guaranteed to piss off women it's a Strong Woman politician.

Kamala Harris isn't even a strong woman, she's just a back-stabbing, self-important bitch and that's why she never even broke into the double digits in her home state of California. People can smell "conniving, two-faced harpy" from a mile away, and Harris has it so bad that even as a Strong, Independent Woman POC Yass Queen Slay Woman of Colour Oppressed Minority, the entire Democratic base went, "Fuck that bitch" so hard that even California wasn't interested in her.
I'm firmly in the camp that believes that Harris is a "failed psychopath" in the sense that she's stabbed and fucked her way to monetary and political success, but she failed to ever develop a proper "mask" so that people can't immediately see through her shit and instantly reject her unless she has something to offer them. Humans are a deeply social species that have spent hundreds of thousands of years developing extremely fine-tuned perceptions for social subtleties, and that's one of the reasons why some people set off this little alarm way in the back of your brain that goes, "Stay the fuck away from that person, something's wrong with them."
Harris doesn't set off a little alarm in the back of my head, she sets off a raid siren.

You're describing voter enthusiasm via proxy of whether they're willing to spend money on memorabilia of their candidate. Do you think...people unwilling to spend money on memorabilia of their candidate are just as likely to show up to vote as those who do?

I wonder which state is gonna be the “Wisconsin” for me this time? I had my eye on Michigan but Wisconsin was the biggest shock and I never thought I’d see that in my life.
My candidates
- Maryland (thanks to Klacik)
- Delaware
- Oregon
- Yes, even New York.
Minnesota has a higher than 50% for Trump in my opinion. I’m talking about Big surprises, so New Hampshire and the rest of Maine have a higher chance too.

It'll be one of those states where the Democrats enabled riots and it turned out that people are not all that keen on having their towns looted and then burned down. Minnesota seems like a good bet because I could easily imagine a situation where support for the far left has always been concentrated in a few big cities and the Democrats have just let the mob burn one of those down. I could see that flipping the state.
Look at Minnesota in 2016

It's damn close, and New Hampshire is even closer. It was frankly insane for the Democrats to cheer on riots there.
Basically, if Trump wins more states than 2016 it will look like the 2019 UK General Election where the Red Wall constituencies finally got sick of Labour using them for votes and then blatantly ignoring their interests and, worse, disrespecting their people.
Yeah, it's bluer than NY

Let me put it this way, if any of those states were in play, Illinios would be a swing state to going to Trump by 5. Oregon had the closest margin of all of them. If any of them go, we are looking at a 350+ electoral landslide.

Sarah Palin was brought in to shore up the religious right with McCain, in part because Karl Rove's tactic was to maximize their attendance, which is why so many social issues, particularly gay issues, appeared in 2004. Anti-gay motions were cheap red meat to the base, and Democrats were terrified of touching the gays like they were lepers. Even Saint Obama, who didn't endorse gay marriage until late in his first term with all the enthusiasm of someone being forced to swallow a live goldfish. Hell, he didn't have anything to do with it passing, it came down to the courts.
Sarah Palin actually did generate alot of excitement among evangelicals. She fumbled badly at the start, but the McCain campaign was doomed when he officially called for us to stay in Iraq "For a hundred years or more". She was just the scapegoat because the media likes beating on Christians.
Kamala might be an attempt to excite the base, but Kamala is actually toxic like Palin never was. The reasons people disqualified Palin were Saturday Night Live quotes from Tina Fey; the reasons people despise Kamala is because she is a literal slaving corrupt cop who belongs in a reboot of The Wire, not the White House. Nobody likes her, nobody supports her, and she's not even got folksy charm like Palin. She's not like throwing red meat to the base, she's like throwing glass jars full of stale piss.
On a side note, remember how Sarah Palin was mocked for being too hot (Caribou Barbie)? Funny how the left goes after Melania and the new press secretary the same way. They really haven't updated their play book in years.

They are going to try and steal the election via mail in voter fraud, and this is them stating flat out that no one -- not even Donald Trump or other politicians -- will be allowed to call the election for him.
And you will NOT be allowed to call out voter fraud in public, or even call for lawsuits to prevent it. Another Bush vs Gore will not be allowed.
Like every other big tech company, anyone disputing the official narrative will see their content get a big fat asterisk.
If something goes viral and it goes against our narrative, we'll make it near impossible to engage with and shadowban the tweet.
We saw that too many people were breaking out of the software-engineered hugboxes we created, so we are cutting off one of the last avenues of escape, which will also completely curbstomp any ability for people to grow their following if they're not named CNN or one of our hand picked influencers.
Non-manipulated tweets will not be allowed to trend, only our narratives will be allowed. We have an election to rig, after all.
We hired vast numbers of DNC interns to help police the site to prevent nasty conservatives from being able to speak, and we continue to hire more as November approaches.
This company needs to die. In a fire.

I finally got and filled out my ballot. Gonna drop it off either today or early next week.
Almost every California measure is a cleverly worded tax hike. Some not so cleverly worded.
