> [@Dinsdale](#): > > And I have an extremely low opinion of the fortitude of the vast majority of his cowardly supporters. Sure, there may well be isolated incidents. But no serious threat to overturn a Harris victory. Concurred. Worse than the 2020 lead-up, for sure, but not enough to completely jeopardize the electoral process. Quite the rankling article upthread on Miller. Georgia’s early numbers are a feel-good thing. The gold attire / rally next day co-inky-dinky never crossed my mind. > [@Aspenglow](#): > > Still, that rally, despicable as it was, just felt like a farewell concert to me. Make sure to play all the Greatest Hits, let everyone have a solo, do an encore or two, and leave the faithful wanting more. Drum solo by Rudy? Hey doesn’t Huckabee play bass? ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > In King County, Washington (Seattle and environs), _nobody_ knows ahead of time. Ballots arent tabulated until polls close. (I was an Elections worker in the Obama 2008 election.) And you know, that may well be the case in Georgia, too. Still, it’s well known that big voter turnout generally favors Dems. Whatever it is about the high turnout situation, it sure makes Gabriel Sterling happy! ---

All he knows is that on the first day, 340,000 people voted. The actual countimg of the early votes isn’t done until Nov 5 Those 340,000 people could be split 49.9% vs 50.1%, (or whatever the pollsters are saying ) . ---

Aw, just call it Trump’s Monosodium Glutamate rally, and hang “No MSG” signs outside polling places. (I’ve been trying to come up with a joke about MSG since Trump’s rally, and that’s the best I’ve got.) ---

I’m glad the OP started this thread, because I too have been wondering what they were thinking with that hot mess. In no way does it improve Trump’s odds of winning, and at absolute best doesn’t hurt (though, I’m pretty sure it does hurt). I notice that over at Fox News there’s a bunch of stories today about Harris’ gaffes, one about her admitting on a hot mic that she’s struggling with male voters (watching them try to make that scandalous is fun), an awkward moment at one of her events, something about Obama saying something dumb. Point is, you should check it out because it looks like a whole page of counter-programming. “Nuh-uh, Trump’s rally wasn’t bad. Harris’ was” ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > BTW I’m now seeing a few instances of MAGAS suggesting that he was a Democratic plant to sabotage Trump. 🙄 MAGA types have made similar arguments about other people over the last few years. My favorite being that Alina Habba was a Democratic, I’m sorry, Democrat agent deliberately performing poorly as a lawyer to make Trump look bad. > [@OldOlds](#): > > Point is, you should check it out because it looks like a whole page of counter-programming. “Nuh-uh, Trump’s rally wasn’t bad. Harris’ was” The Trump campaign has been doing that for a while now. Apparently it’s Harris who is the fascist (Trump being the opposite of a Nazi), it’s Harris/Walz who are “weird,” and more recently MAGA has been claiming their campaign is the one of joy and hope. ---

Apparently it’s Harris who is the fascist (Trump being the opposite of a Nazi), it’s Harris/Walz who are “weird,” and more recently MAGA has been claiming their campaign is the one of joy and hope. At this point Trump’s whole campaign strategy seems to be, “I’m rubber, you’re glue.”\* That means they’re playing defense though, so maybe that’s something. \*And racism. And misogyny. Lots and lots of racism and misogyny. ---
