No, their angle is she is a fraud and not a gun owner. Good luck!

Okay, that's even better. It's like a gaggle of clowns run these GQP campaigns. And I cannot thank them enough for their incompetence and stupidity.

There is stuff way, way worse in his Internet history than the sanitized reports, BTW.

I don't doubt that for one minute. My hope is, with this rampant scumbag on the NC ballot, that he loses and loses BIG, AND takes down the entire GQP down ballot. I can dream.

Walz remains the top likable/favorable candidate in the race according to polling. (Harris is now a net positive too and doing well)

Don't look it up, because the worst stuff is on Twitter lol. They just kept it out of the CNN report.

I would never link to National Review. Except now.

I think we have a fair shot at keeping the Senate, BTW.

If you're familiar with her (or my white hot hatred of her) the only thing that comes as a surprise to me is who she cozied up to. I thought RFK was too old/crazy even for her, vs. the 'suave' alt-right/Nazi figures like Richard Spencer or Milo she's been tight with for years. She has always been a fascist socialite/it girl, Eva Braun in Patricia Field.

She's also the one who wrote the infamous Biden hit piece several months ago claiming a 'conspiracy of silence' around his mental decline while waxing rhapsodic abut the changed post-assassination Trump. This was in part due to Nuzzi being shut out by the Biden admin when he won. They said flat-out they didn't trust her given her background, including fangurling for Ann Coulter, Milo, etc.

Speaking of old/crazy, I thought she was cozy with Rudy Giuliani and got some scoop because he called her to chat (or maybe it was a butt-dial).

Unless it turns out Nuzzi was actively involved in policy decisions or something, I will confine the rest of my commentary on her to the Media thread. And yes, I believe she was cozy with Rudy but even I don't think she fucked him.

A milestone.

Nothing much new here about the worries over working class white men (and MOC to a degree) but I did not realize that some polling shows the parties even on social security and Medicare. Another example of how much media water-carrying benefits Trump.

A poll came out yesterday, from Morning Consult, saying Colin Allred is ahead of Ted Cruz by 1%. Trump will likely drag him over the line, but it's still a positive step.
