    This, TBH.

    RFK takes a small amount of votes from Trump and West probably does the same to Biden. The two offset each other.

    Like 3-5% which is what Kennedy likely drops to around Oct/Nov of next year.

    No; realistically Kennedy doesn't even make the ballot, and even if he does, he garners <1%.

    West at 3-5% is pretty accurate FWIW. That's who the squad, MSA, pro Palestine peeps et al. are going to endorse. West could very well torpedo Biden decisively in the black inner-city precincts of Atlanta, Detroit, and Philly.

    Majewski's trying to run again. To be fair I think a generic (R) riding the Trump coattails could win that district and oust the 40-year in bent. But not Majewski. He's too polarizing. He needs to run in, like, a R+25 type district to win.

    Christian nationalist dads who use their daughters as sex slaves utilize home schooling as a way to hide their abuse from teachers/administrators who might notice.

    It shouldn’t be illegal but it should be heavily regulated.

    He’s making noise about it but only after he announced he wasn’t going to. I don’t see it happening.

    Fortunately Ohio is going to have an independent redistricting commission on the ballot in 2024 that will put new maps in place in 2026 if it passes, so all Kaptur has to do is survive 2024 before getting put back in a Biden district.

    I think the Dems would be smarter to put that on the ballot in 2023 than 2024, since 2023 it would be on the same ticket as next month's abortion freedom bill which is expected to pass by like 10-15% even though it's a red state it's also on the pro choice side similar to MI.

    Putting liberal measures on the same ballot as Trump-Biden in a Trump+>10 state is probably not a good idea for liberal ballot initiatives or Democrat candidates in Trump districts.

    I agree but the reverse. West will do better than Stein but worse than Nader. RFK Jr if he makes the ballot won't crack 1%.

    RFK's RCP average is like 15%.

    West's isn't even 1/10 of that.

    You're looking at the Democrat primary, vs. West as an independent?

    Apples and oranges.

    West polling 5% aggregate, and 9% in October, as an independent:

    (to be fair, I don't think he gets that)


    RFK won't be on the ballot, so it's irrelevant

    They can’t just snap their fingers and put it on the ballot whenever they want, 2024 is the earliest possible date.

    Regardless, I can’t think of even one instance when redistricting ballot initiatives that strip the state legislature of power (in some form or another) didn’t pass a statewide vote. And independent redistricting commission even passed in ing Utah (albeit it was advisory). The median voter doesn’t see an independent redistricting commission as some radical libruhl agenda, they see a state legislature being stripped of its ability to select its voters and objectively good thing.

    Sorry, read it wrong.

    He's polling 1/3 what RFK is in similar polls.

    Why would West be on the ballot but not RFK?

    Before the SCOTUS their pants in late June last year, red wave 2022 midterm was absolutely 100% in the cards. SCOTUS kind of hit a third rail at the worst possible timing when Biden was disapproved of by 25% on RCP aggregate and gas was over $5 per gallon nationally. The big turning point.

    A reverse 2008 style red wave happening in 2024 is absolutely in this cards as of right now, October 2023. When foreign policy, the economy/inflation/energy, and crime are the top issues rather than stuff like abortion and gay marriage and domestic social justice, the conservatives and especially a strongman like Trump absolutely have the advantage.

    But who knows, SCOTUS could the bed again by overturning Obergefell v Hodges or the GOP under the new Speakership totally makes asses out of themselves, e.g. by impeaching Biden (which will go nowhere in the Senate and torpedo Trump's "two tier justice" argument), or at the very least Israel/Palestine can make peace and de-ignite the current tension. There's still plenty of time for Biden and Democrats. Heck, they could put Trump in jail in Georgia... but that scenario is looking less likely; most likely case is he pays a six or seven figure fine, pleads guilty/no contest to misdemeanors, RICO charge gets dropped, and he's ordered to write an apology letter that will admittedly make him seethe inside even if it's not actually him writing it. Worse case scenario for Trump is they ban him from being on the ballot in the state of Georgia, which I think would be a fair and equitable punishment (the GOP would have to put a replacement candidate like DeSantis but for Georgia only, to avoid insta-conceding the 16 ECV to Biden), but unfortunately for Fani Willis and the Dems there's no stare decisis for that kind of justice.

    You really needed to get out of the prediction business years ago.
