Harris up 6 pts in New Hampshire, 8 pts in Maine

Former President Donald Trump told Christians on Friday to vote “just this time” and claimed they “won’t have to do it anymore” after the election in November.
“Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore,” the GOP presidential nominee told the crowd at the conservative Turning Point Action event in Florida.

Yeah, did you catch his (Freudian?) slip? I know he claims to be Presbyterian but probably not too smart for him to say he's not Christian.KUTradition wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2024 7:34 am Former President Donald Trump told Christians on Friday to vote “just this time” and claimed they “won’t have to do it anymore” after the election in November.

Today In: Buyer's Remorse of the Spousal Unit
Usha Vance told friends Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.
The potential second lady found Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 “deeply disturbing,” a friend said. But ambition and devotion to her husband ultimately drove her to a place in the former president’s campaign.
During her rise through America’s most prestigious schools, law firms and judicial clerkships, Usha Vance rarely — if ever — volunteered her opinions on the nation’s bitterly partisan politics to friends and colleagues.
But she did express revulsion at former president Donald Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
Vance told friends she was outraged by Trump’s incitement of the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol and lamented the social breakdown that fueled his political support, according to one friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. Her view at the time contrasts with the later pronouncements of her husband and Trump’s newly minted running mate, JD Vance, who has downplayed the storming of the Capitol and called participants who were jailed “political prisoners.”
“Usha found the incursion on the Capitol and Trump’s role in it to be deeply disturbing,” the friend recalled. “She was generally appalled by Trump, from the moment of his first election.”
Speaking the morning after Usha Vance introduced her husband at the Republican National Convention and watched his speech from the same VIP box as Trump, the friend added, “It was surreal to see her sitting next to him last night.”
That sensation is widely shared among her friends, former co-workers and fellow alumni, more than two dozen of whom spoke to The Washington Post for this story. Some watched in disbelief on July 17 when Usha Vance, 38, addressed an overwhelmingly White crowd on the convention floor that tittered uneasily as she joked about her husband learning to cook Indian food and audibly gasped when she mentioned her vegetarian diet.
...In many ways, Usha Chilukuri Vance — born to prosperous Indian Hindu immigrants, raised in Southern California and employed, until she quit last week, at a San Francisco law firm known for its self-consciously progressive office culture — appears to represent the sort of cultural and economic elite whom Republicans often rail against. A self-described “Order Muppet” remembered for her circumspect manner and almost fanatically detailed scheduling habits, she is very different, temperamentally, from the freewheeling former president and his incendiary MAGA movement.
Though she worked for prominent conservative judges and voted in the 2022 Republican primary in Ohio when her husband was on the ballot, she has registered to vote as a Democrat at least twice, records show: as a teenager in San Diego in 2004 and as a law student in New Haven, Conn., in 2010. In the fall of 2014 she registered to vote in D.C. without a party affiliation, according to elections officials.
But the forces that propelled her to the convention have long been evident, those who know her say: extraordinary ambition and deep devotion to her husband.

Did he say heteroflexible? That's a new one to me.
Re: 2024
That caught my ear too, because I'd never heard it before.
His rant was from a pov I didn't really appreciate before.

https://x.com/harryjsisson/status/18180 ... q_-8Yt1KMABREAKING: VP Kamala Harris just confirmed that she will be showing up to the planned September 10th presidential debate, whether Trump attends or not. Amazing move by the Harris campaign! Trump is already looking like a coward. Your move, Donald.

In 2020 Maine and its whopping 4 electoral votes went to Biden.
In 2020 New Hampshire and its whopping 4 electoral votes went to Biden.
Let me know when she's up 6 points in Florida and 8 points in Texas and I'll get excited.
