I have to believe that poll from yesterday showing Klanye siphoning votes from Trump and not Biden has clued the Trump camp into just how fucked they are. The typical GOP distractions and tricks won't work in a climate like this.

Well... THAT was some nonsense.

We have a massive pandemic going on with record-high infections and deaths, catastrophic economic upheaval, millions unemployed, states shutting down, civil unrest the likes of which we haven't seen in a generation....

... And he was ranting about corn, lobsters, statues, and how unfair the media is.

He isn't built to deal with a crisis of this magnitude. He could bullshit a whole bunch of other shit especially if it was temporary but a long and sustained crisis? He can't do it. Doesn't want to deal with the work. Doesn't know how to handle it. Doesn't give a fuck either.

If Presidential pardons can be rescinded, can we also take back medals of freedom?

Idk its a poll of texas so those results don't seem out of the realm of possibility. Gravis isn't great, but not absolutely garbage either (C rating according to 538 with a slight D lean)

Gravis came out today (?) and basically said that OAN had been cherry picking the surveys Gravis had been sending to them- ONLY publishing the ones that were favorable to trump.

So Gravis isn't garbage, but a garbage media network has been curating their content to be favorable to Trump.

Keep in mind: All Americans really care about right now is the coronavirus and getting jobs.

He did nothing to address those.

Oh yeah totally OAN is garbage but the polls they are choosing to release shouldn't be dismissed outright

^ not disputing that! Up in the thread though people were dismissing the poll. I think its likely fairly accurate, based on other recent texas polls

I never said to dismiss it outright- but it can be assumed given what Gravis has straight up said that OAN is doing, that OAN is sitting on other polls that are worse for Trump than this one and simply failing to publish them.

Trump's campaign/presidency has the same arc as Daniel Day Lewis in There will be blood. By the end he'll be calling Tucker Carlson a bastard in a basket and beating Sean Hannity with a bowling pin.

I dont think low turnout means much. Both candidates are terrible for different reasons

one is a Trump traitor, the other is a scandal ridden coach who Alabama fans might not want to go out and vote for.

Betcha this is Joni Ernst. Maybe Tillis? But probably Ernst.

It's meaningful in that it shows a shift that we've seen in recent years. 2017 and 2018 had Republicans flying out to the polls in record numbers to protect their cult leader; they just lost due to Democrats out numbering them and being motivated. What that lady seems to be indicating is that that influence seems to be waning. Which is no bueno for team Trump and the GOP.

Warren would have gotten savaged much like Hillary. Not to the same extent, but this wasn't the time to take chances.
This type of thinking just really rubs me the wrong way. It's a self fulfilling prophecy that has lead us down this path of 44 of our 45 presidents being white cis men. It's never gonna be the "right time" for minorities and women to break the glass ceiling and it's NEVER gonna happen if we keep thinking that there is a right moment for it. Even against this corrupt, fascist, trash fire of an administration it's a tragedy that gender and race plays such a huge role in the selection of our nominee.

Do you all think without corona and George Floyd protests, Trump would be just a point or two behind Biden?

There's only like 4,000 votes total so far in the Republican Alabama Senate primary. What was the total from the special in 2017?
