100% agree, Private ownership and competition are upheld as the key drivers of efficiency, innovation, and economic growth. Anything that challenges this model is often dismissed as "communism" because it conflicts with the deeply ingrained concept of the "American Dream."
except the military, fire, roads, and sometimes public schools.
They arent communist because they're covered in American flags so how could they be?

Just like everything else about this election, it depends entirely where those people live. If they're more or less concentrated in the solidly blue states like CA and NY, and their switching sides only serves to pile on to what was already going to be Democratic landslides, then they don't make a ton of difference. If they're evenly dispersed, or located more heavily in the swing states, then Trump has a nearly impossible hill to climb without them.
Trump getting Haleys endorsement was huge.
Baffling to me how Haley functions without a spine but there you go!

What is your gut feeling about how this plays out?
 
Been meaning to ask you and @RAFUH who I think is in NC
How are the campaigns looking in swing states? I presume you're being bombarded with ads and such.
Is any of it making a difference? is it head wrecking at this point?
So bizarre to have absolutely none here in MA.
I can’t even imagine the media blitz everyone in the swing states is being subjected to right now. I live in an entirely uncompetitive state, where our Republican Senate candidate is going to win by 20 points at bare minimum. Yet I’ve seen this ad no less that 50 times in the past week.😡

Yeah, there's a ton of ads. But IMO no more than in any election cycle. PA is an interesting state, with two big cities, a lot of mid-size cities, and lots of rural areas. So in many respects, it's a mini cross section of the county itself - every seat is almost always in play. Interestingly, there's less Senate-related ads than I saw in 2022, when we voted in a Senator that literally could not string sentences together from a stroke because first and foremost he was a real person and not a Trumper. I think that's because Casey is kind of an institution here, with name recognition, and he's not viewed as a "liberal." Whatever that means. It also doesn't help that McCormick, who lost to Dr. Oz (LOL) in the republican primary in 2022, is a Wall Street type that literally sent jobs to China - not gonna work around some of the blue collar edges here.

Anecdotally, the Trumpers are becoming louder - over the past month I've seen more and more signs popping up, and not just signs, but shrines to their god-like figure. The Harris/Walz people just have a sign in their yard. For the Trumpers, this is their last stand.

I really can't see PA going for Trump after what's happened over the last 8 years and most recently in 2022. It's hard to fathom us swinging to Trump, despite the fact that the red more rural areas are certainly going to come out in droves for Trump.

Anything is possible though. It's never over until it's over. But I really do think (and hope) that there are just so many normal people, particularly women, that are not outspoken and are going to rid ourselves of Trump once and for all in a few weeks.

Weird, why?
Warren is probably going to win by double digits here but haven't heard a peep from her

On every cable news program in Central Texas, you'll see the same Ted Cruz ads run at every commercial break. Frequently they run back to back or back to back to back. Most are about culture war nonsense (Colin Allred wants boys to play sports with your girls).

It's exhausting.

From my perspective, that's the GOP number 2 issue - trans rights.

I mean, what in the world are we doing here

It’s hilarious to me that they’ve suddenly embarked on this crusade to defend women’s (girl’s) sports, given that most of these same people were mocking them for being inferior just a few years ago. It’s almost as if it has nothing to do with sporting integrity whatsoever.🤔
