Donald Trump stumbled over to Georgia to stage a press conference about Hurricane Helene, which turned out to be equally as disastrous for his campaign as it was for the swing state.
I personally don’t think it’s as close as it seems to be according to the polls.
First of all, I haven’t been asked to take a single poll, and neither has anyone I’ve spoken to. Additionally, just because Democrats don’t have signs on their lawns or wear stupid hats or participate in polls or even attend rallies (we have jobs!), it sure as hell doesn’t mean we don’t vote.
There’s also been a huge surge in registration of young voters who wouldn’t have been asked to participate in any polls. That’s because they aren’t on record as “voters” yet, so their contact information is not available.
And of course there’s a growing number of people who always voted Republican before but are now planning to vote Democrat because they are as repulsed by trump as we are….but they are remaining silent about it so as to not be ostracized by their families and friends. (My sister was surrounded by Republicans: her husband, in-laws, bff, extended family…but secretly voted Democrat. I only found that out in 2016, 2 years before she died. She made me promise to never tell anyone because it would create huge problems for her. Knowing her family and friends very well myself, I knew this to be true, and gave her my vow.) Her admission to me, as well as many other similar stories I’ve read, convince me that there are far more Democrats than seems apparent.
I think you're absolutely right! I've been donating to young people's registration efforts for more than a year now, including Leaders We Deserve, established by David Hogg, the young man who was a victim of Sandy Hook, and was so bullied and badly treated by Republikkkans, the "family values" party. I've been watching for ages now, and nowhere do I see any efforts to include the cell phone generations. I think we're going to smash it!
I just made the following comment on CNN's customer feedback page:
Your coverage of Donald Trump's speeches and general communications is irresponsible and appalling. You "sanewash" his often incoherent ramblings, and present his disjointed thoughts as if they were coming from a normal politician, which he is demonstrably not. Why are you doing this? What happened to the CNN of Bernard Shaw's era?
Seriously! I honestly believe that the corporate media Powers That Be have been bought through the Republikkkans by the Russian propaganda machine. They're not just working to be fair, they're actively working against democracy. Once you start looking at it with that lens, you see the evidence everywhere. I wish DOJ would investigate the corporate masters, because there's almost certainly a trail.
Great podcast. He is b a disgusting human being — a term I use loosely when describing the pathetic narcissist. I only wish one of these hurricanes would blow through Mara Lago. Go Kamala!!!
Excellent reporting, but I had to cut off at that disgusting “prayer.” To think anyone would be fooled by this charade, making a mockery of the gospel.
Good indication of why many of tRump's businesses failed. Too stupid and greedy to know that you always do better when things get busy by paying your guys the time and a half due for overtime than bringing in a bunch of newbies!😜
Criminal felon drumpf is not for Americans.
Correct.

Agreed. Polls rarely account for young people, too!

Thanks for your comment. I just went to CNN's feedback page and left a scathing review of their so called news reporting. What a joke.

I'm so sick of his stupidity and nasty comments, I want someone to muzzle him and throw his ass in prison!
Music to my ears.
Thanks, Dash, for giving us the scoop (instead of the poop reported elsewhere).
I gotchu.

Indeed he is.
The Country would be in shutdown and no help to be had if Trump got his way to have it Shutdown.
Yep.
Liars so sick of MAGA
Same.
Love your commentary !!!
Thank you!
How dare they ask for prayers for a woman abuser, bigot, twice impeached, indicted and convicted felon! Shame on these phony Christian’s!
Thank you for your thoughts and for keeping it real. Just started listening to you and plan to keep doing so.🤩
Welcome aboard and THX!
So … maybe they actually are not neck and neck.
Excellent reporting, but I had to cut off at that disgusting “prayer.” To think anyone would be fooled by this charade, making a mockery of the gospel.
I cut off the disgusting prayer, as well. More than I can stomach.
Keep up the good work reporting the facts as they happen! I am truly tired of making excuses for his behaviour.
Lies lies n more lies from the desperate Cheeto and CNN should be ashamed. Awful
reporting on that Georgia visit geez!!
