Morning consult poll says he is within 4 in Pennsylvania

As I've previously said, I'd still like to know what (if anything) the pollsters did to fix how they're polling the rustbelt 4 years ago in order to account for outsized rural voter turnout.

If they've made corrections to their polling, then a 4 point lead for Biden isn't a terrible position for him, since he's likely going to get a convention bump.

If they're still polling PA the same way they were 4 years ago, a 4 point lead for Biden isn't good because it means PA is a coin toss.

IMO this is a pretty reasonable opinion on polling in the key swing states.

Joe Biden's speech even wowed his critics:

'Biden crushed expectations'

"We're watching an old ballplayer whose skills have diminished turn in a career-best performance in the biggest game of his life. Remarkable to witness."

Conservative commentator Erick Erickson tweeted,

"Biden exceeded expectations. That was a fine speech."

Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, agreed, tweeting: "Forceful, energetic delivery, strongest when portraying his program as all about jobs, speech lost focus in the second half — but overall, probably helped himself."

Guy Benson, the political editor of Townhall, said simply: "Biden crushed expectations."

Even those who've known Biden for years were in awe.

"After Biden mopped the floor with Paul Ryan in 2012 VP debate,

I looked at him and said 'you will never have a better performance than tonight,'"

tweeted Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager.

"I was wrong. Tonight is better."

A judge asked Trump to prove claims about mail-in votes and fraud —

it didn’t go well

in response to the Pennsylvania lawsuit, Trump’s campaign was asked to show proof that voting by mail encourages voter fraud — and it was unable to.

Trump’s campaign is “suing Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and each of the state’s county election boards to prevent election administrators from providing secure drop boxes for mail-in ballot returns.”

asked the Trump campaign to demonstrate that there is a connection between mail-in voting and voter fraud — and

Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan granted their motion,

asking the campaign to “produce such evidence in their possession,

and if they have none, state as much.”

Trump campaign produced a 524-page do ent ...

the do ent “contains a few scant examples of election fraud” — but none of them actually involve mail-in ballots.

"while the amended complaint brought by the campaign cites a few incidents of mail-in fraud, none were mentioned in the discovery do ent."

“The charges say, and

that the four conspirators secretly agreed that

they would put a substantial amount of that money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, in their own pockets,” Toobin explained.

“And apparently, there are financial records to back that up.”

“It shows these four, sort of, Republican leaders treating the actual Trump supporters, the people who are, you know, who are —

the president’s base, as a bunch of suckers and dupes and marks,” he said.

Trash attacks Biden with birtherism

Trump Cooks Up Wacky New Birther Slam: Joe Biden Wasn’t Born In Pennsylvania

Because the Democratic nominee moved out as a child,

he really wasn’t born in Scranton,

the president told a perplexed Pennsylvania crowd.

“He’d say he was born here,” Trump told listeners in Scranton.

“But he left when he was like 8, 9 or 10.

So he left 68 years ago, he left — a long time ago.

So I view it differently.

He wasn’t born here. He abandoned Scranton!”

"in 2016, Donald Trump won Michigan by a margin of 10,704 votes —

his slimmest margin nationwide.

Democrats staged an incredible comeback in 2018, and set the stage to defeat him in 2020.

But it is expected to be a tight election and every vote will make a difference.

More than 10,600 absentee ballots were rejected during Michigan's August 4 primary.

Roughly 60% were turned away because they arrived after Election Day.

MI in 2016? 100K votes from (black) Flint were not counted, Trash won MI by 10700 votes.

If the mail-in ballots were postmarked on or before election day, Cons utionally, 14th Amendment, they must be counted. -- Lawrence Tribe

[Will Hunting]

I don’t disagree with anything boutons just posted, but why is it so god damn hard for black people to just mail their ballot in early or vote early to make sure it gets counted? There’s no reason this needs to be done on CP time where they ballot gets sent in the last round of mail on Election Day. None of the Trump voter suppression tactics would work if Americans weren’t so ing lazy and took voting more seriously.

Trump Calls Biden’s Pro-Empathy Message Offensive to Sociopaths



WASHINGTON —Calling it “hurtful and insulting,” Donald J. Trump on Friday said that Joe Biden’s pro-empathy speech at the Democratic National Convention was “deeply offensive” to the nation’s sociopaths.

Blasting Biden’s incendiary pro-compassion rhetoric,

Trump said that the “roomful of sociopaths” with whom he watched the speech found it “alienating and divisive.”



“I was watching with Jared, Stephen Miller, and Mitch McConnell,

and when Biden started in on the empathy stuff, we all felt very alone,” he said.

“He said that he wants to be a President for all Americans, but I guess that doesn’t include sociopaths.”



Calling Biden “a puppet of compassionate extremists,”

he demanded that the former Vice-President apologize to every sociopath in the country.

“Sociopaths have feelings, just not for other people,” he said.

Fox’s Lou Dobbs served as the ‘shadow chief of staff of the Trump administration’: ex-DHS official

Trump would regularly berate staffers for not following the advice of Fox News host Lou Dobbs.

“Why did we say that?

Because the president would call us and he would say, and

pardon my language, why the didn’t you watch Lou Dobb last night?

You need to listen to Lou.

What Lou says is what I want to do,”

“So if Lou Dobbs peddled a conspiracy theory on late night television or

made an erroneous claim about what should be done at the border or with some law enforcement operation,

the president wanted us to be tuning in every night,”

We can can’t be watching Lou Dobbs and taking our orders from him, but this happened on a regular basis.”
