Thank you @janea4old for all the info on Stevie's statement and her new song. 

I think Buttigieg is probably done in the Cabinet after this year - I don't think he would be confirmed by the Senate if it goes into Republican hands. I have a feeling he will become a cable news pundit and maybe run for Congress in a blue state someday. Either that or if Harris wins, he might join her staff in some capacity.

This level of blatantly dishonest pandering at a time his party is on a witch hunt against gay parents just pisses me the [!@#$%^&*] off.

How can someone running for office be this stupid, even if he is a Republican....

Like so many in the comments to the video pointed out women over 50 can have daughters, granddaughters, friends, sisters etc that are under 50.

How some women in the audience can laugh at his remarks is mind-blowing, because I don't think they are laughing at his stupidity.

That's good news. I hope they will keep coming as the smaller moments are what led the GOP to where they are now in at many state houses.

Gallup doesn't do as much electoral polling now but did put this out, which mostly states the obvious about how many factors are helping Republicans this year. Not posting this to say the election is over, as it is very close if Trump isn't being undercounted again, but as a reminder of why this is such a tight race even with Trump being so wretched and so decayed from even four years ago.

More Politico articles, but I think they are worth reading (the latter is about Harris' struggles in PA but doesn't just go on about Josh Shapiro):

Gallup is entitled to their take. I don't agree with it or trust them because I know what Gallup has always been, or Politico which always roots for Republicans. Like some pollsters, I remain unconvinced this election will be that close. Of course I also didn't think 2020 would be that close and it was, but I did know 2012 wouldn't be when the media insisted otherwise. So I'm bound to be either definitely right or totally wrong! I can't lose!

Speaking of Gallup's slanted nonsense, Atlas Intel out of Brazil has parachuted in with another set of outlier and unusual Republican-leaning state polls, which appears to be their brand this cycle as they move towards becoming Rasmussen 2.0. They also insisted Herschel Walker would win by 4 points, so I'm not putting huge stock in them (or posting them). This is the season when the right starts pushing junk polls and outliers to try and skew perception, just like the last several cycles.
