Nothing personal - but be cognizant of the words you’re using. We don’t want to legitimize propaganda.

support it. It seems like their planning takes place in time zones further East, where people are up at those hours.

If trumpsters are now angry, ready to vote,nIt should show up. And the 538 approval disapproval has moved a bit in trumps favor, generic vote also has moved a bit to republicans. There may be some truth. On the other hand I would expect we harvest a few more upscale republican women on the main line outside of philly and similar spots . But maybe they have already joined us.

So it's hard to keep track of which controversy his approval rating is recovering and suffering from.

I don't believe his mocking of Dr. Ford plays well with anybody but his rabid base.

They feed, greedily off victimization and outrage.

Its been months since they had something to rally around - this is doing the job.

its a bit of a no win situation.

They push his nomination through, we have a psychopath fascist on the SC, but they will probably lose the steam this is giving them over the next few weeks.

If he gets derailed, it WILL get more of them to the polls in November, and cut into the gains Ds might make.

Someone on the panel said it was a respected poll, but the scum are getting desperate right now, so don't put skewing the results beyond them.
