    Regardless of whether I agree with the content (though in this case I clearly do), I always appreciate work that's done really well.

    I want to point out that in one of the clips you will see, for the barest of seconds, the old Packard automobile plant in Detroit. It has looked that way, basically, since the late 1950s, when Packard closed down. For all the claims of prosperity and growth in America during the Fifties and Sixties, in the heart of Detroit, sat a large automobile plant, abandoned. You'd have thought that somebody would have bought the plant and repurposed it, but they didn't. It just sat there. And still sits there to this day. Empty.

    Now the Lincoln Project isn't just going after Trump, but his enablers.

    Remember their names.

    This seems familiar for some reason, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

    New numbers from 538: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bidens-polling-lead-is-big-and-steady/

    Steady as they're calling it, it's definitely a better set of polls for Trump than the 6/25 numbers. Some of it (PA) is a larger undecided pool. Some of it is an outright drop for Biden and a boost for Trump (WI). And some margins that were healthy on 6/25, are not at all on 7/8. To indicate this, I've added 4th "tilt" level where the expected margin is under 1%. AZ and FL would have been at this level in my first map; GA and WI would have been at this level in my 2nd map. So 0-1% is tilt, 1-5% is lean, 5-10% is likely, and 10%+ is safe, on this map (I'm not leaving any tossups unless it's inside the floating point margin of error of 0).

    Remember, this is assuming that the undecided electorate breaks for Trump the same proportions it did in 2016 in each state, which is how Biden's impressive (but still not as good as 2 weeks ago) lead in raw numbers in WI, for instance, can be erased. The good news is that only one state actually flipped, Wisconsin. But Biden's lead has decreased in NV, AZ, FL, ME, MI, MN, NM, PA, and VA. TX and IA are stronger for Trump. NC is the one bright spot, which Trump's lead has fallen by a point.

    Same reason he once attacked McCain's patriotism(a guy who was tortured and spent five years as a POW). She came out against a position of his so in his childish mind that means ATTACK. Everything is personal with him.

    Meanwhile, even Mother Nature loathes him. He's had to cancel his rally in NH because of a tropical storm. :bergman:

    Balls.
    And unless the venue was going to be outside, rain wouldn't have mattered anyway. President Mojo Jojo was worried that nobody would show up again.

    He probably does not want to share his cons with them. They probably have the same opinion that they do not want to share their con money with him. He is presently using christianity to con people, and scientology is holy shit protective of their religion being used for someone else's profit. If anyone is going to make a 100 dollar T-shirt for scientology it is going to be scientology.
