You can tell Russia is rattled because one of their main puppets, John Mearsheimer, was out talking about this will doom Ukraine.

Another gem from the above mentioned endorsement:

 

These Sun Belt polls vary above but I still think we'll take GA, again.

 

 

Both articles above are worth a read (for Politico), but the Walz coaching football games in select states pitch in the second piece is particularly amusing.

As someone who lives this Georgia, this disgusts me but doesn't shock me. 

This is why I never believe anything coming from Kemp or any other high-ranking Republican regarding Trump. At the end of the day, they do any and everything to keep this state red despite the fact it is becoming purple much to their chagrin. 

Thanks for all of the articles. I was hoping one of the other Senate races in Florida or Texas would open up, but it's not likely. I have heard some complaints about the poor race Colin Allred is running in Texas - I believe he's even turned down speaking at the DNC and people have said he's barely running ads.

I wouldn't be surprised if those who lean to West or Stein will just end up going for Trump anyway, but it's still right to put down this grifter enterprise.

Speaking of scum:

 

Heads up:

 

Yet another moment of clarity with the GOP's own Frank Luntz:

Those who leaned toward West are likely to stay home imo. I cannot speak to what Stein voters will do.

As a non subscriber (I have never had a paid subscription to the NYT) who occasionally skims/reads articles, I sensed some of these machinations between some members of the various WH staff but I wonder about the relevance of discussing this now?

Vice Presidential Learning Curve: How Kamala Harris Picked Her Shots

Quote

She would be very careful to make sure she was making a constructive contribution,” Mr. Klain said in an interview. “Most often when you’re vice president, that’s behind closed doors, so she did that. But I don’t think it’s a question of caution. I think it’s a question of loyalty and dedication and focus on the mission.”

At the same time, he acknowledged that she was not always well served by the White House. “We were all united behind the idea she should be successful. We just didn’t find the path to do it,” he said.

“People really liked her,” Mr. Klain added. “There’s a lot of enthusiasm for her. And I don’t think we did a good enough job of selling her.”
