The debates will go fine. They are not a trap. They also rarely move the needle.
I think we have a good chance of a blowout. I'm not going to stop being vigilant and nervous, though.

As burns go, this is flawless from Omar, a person I have otherwise become quite tired of.

Other than the Matt Taibbi types who are gleefully telling everyone this "proves" he has no ties to Russia, I'm not sure what impact the story has. Trump will deny, and many will believe him. Those who don't will say it just shows what a clever businessman he is. MSNBC or CNN will cluck cluck for a day or two before going back to the main goal of helping Trump win.
You can think no story has any impact, but Trump remains 10 point behind for a reason. It's a bombshell and it will continue to keep hurting him.
Many have always believed him, but he has never grown his base; it has only reduced a bit. That is why he is 10 points behind and that is why he is losing. It doesn't make a difference if the same people always believe you when you can't win with just them.

John, any time any soap makes a big move you get excited by it. Some of us need a little more than that.
I actually don't think recasting Jackie with a major star is a terrible thing given the connection to Scorpio and others currently in play on the canvas, but I do think that given her totally inconsequential place in things outside of being played by a Hollywood star it smacks of shock value and it's another stunt on a show with no decent stories whatsoever.

Kirsten needs to be written off. It needed to happen years ago.

I don't think Biden believes that.

Uh, again, hello: Did they just literally pull all the classics? Am I nuts?

More from Jake Sherman, who despises Democrats and is Politico born and bred:
I only fitfully agree with Hayes in this day and age, but this has always been correct. The modern media considers America center-right because they view themselves as innately out of touch; they were trained by the Reagan era to believe 'real America' is always out there in the diners (hence the Trump voter love affair) and never anywhere else. They disdain Democrats and progressives because they have been conditioned to believe they themselves are effete and not genuine, and therefore so is anyone not on the right. They project this onto Democrats so as to divorce it from themselves, and focus all their energies on Trump/GOP voters instead. This is a belief a lot of the party rank and file also still lives with as PTSD since the 1980s.
This is why every time Obama or the Dems won handily in the last 15 years, the press would go on TV saying "it's not a mandate" and basically imply he got lucky. Any time Dems win it is about some sort of amazing trick that only happens once in a lifetime; the economy, the pandemic, etc. They will always attribute any Democratic wins to outside circumstances and imply it is a fluke. Whereas the GOP are always brilliant strategy mavens.
