George Lopez? What is that even about? No. It's okay to call something what it is: A disaster for Trump. Do I personally think this rally is the magic bullet that destroys his campaign utterly and leads to 400 electoral votes? No. We still have to win it next week and I think we will, based on current voting and polling. But he is not invincible, he's lost more than once and he's kept on losing. And this whole thing has imploded on him and may well impact him on the day. Regardless, the press is not going to turn around tomorrow and call it a free-spirited romp. We still have to be vigilant, but that's not happening.

To their credit, the media with the exception of USA Today and Fox have been full throated in calling the MSG Trump rally what it was: A racist sideshow. In other news, more of this is happening at the Post. Per Dana Milbank, of all people:

This is just not true. I already posted several of the mainstream media headlines upthread. Almost all of them with the exception of USA Today and Fox look exactly like this: Scrambling:

I love when these rando accounts come out of suspended animation to pull crazy shít. It's a consistent pattern on SON over the last 5 years at least. Almost always the same type of minimal to suddenly high activity volume and attention-getting behavior. Never gets old.

Meanwhile: Even sex pest and former Trump Whisperer Thrush is spooked:

So if you have an opinion on a Black soap being too Black it's objective, and if anyone disagrees it's reactionary. Got it.

It's a bit late to complain that Beyond the Gates is a Black-run show featuring a majority Black cast. Good luck with B&B though.

Even the Times has had enough:

That's something I pointed out over the last two or three pages: They're all suddenly herding to a tie now vs. posting tiny Trump leads and calling that 'huge momentum' because they're now coming back to Earth vs. the sugar high of pretending there's a big Trump comeback. And in most key states Harris is either up or at the very least tied. If anything I think it shows we've regained momentum after a foggy week or two. Meanwhile, look at the Black/Latino numbers re: Harris posted earlier or at the shift in voters building in Nevada or Michigan over the last two days. I don't think you can call that inexorable Trump momentum. Just the opposite. Already in NV you have Republicans whining and tweeting that the steal has begun. That's where we are today. Meanwhile: When you look at the numbers whether it's about polling, approval, voter turnout and the shifting over the weekend, as Jain and others have said, doom city just does not pan out.

But the polls are not leaning negatively, is the thing. The polling and early vote/mail numbers are shifting towards a distinctly positive result for us. Unless you're looking at something I'm not. I also am not seeing any sort of sweep predictions re: Republicans from anyone credible.

I think Harris was very good in the 60 Minutes clip I posted in the PT, but I am surprised how Norah O'Donnell kept doubling down over and over on insisting Harris offer more abortion restrictions. WTF? The YouTube comments and social media feeds are roasting her on that too.

Except that the polls have her up or are finally admitting there's not big Trump momentum.

Thread:

I believe the implication in this polling is that they are and will.

I had a feeling I was right about this (which I already posted above). It's mask off time for Harris' team. They've seen the same numbers and shifts I have and have ceased playing underdog (which they were deliberately doing to keep donors/voters engaged even when polling was romping in August-September):
