Dems should move right on the border but left on immigration reform; there is an important distinction there, and throwing some red meat for the former will naturally make the latter more tolerable - which is all the more important since the latter is where the true, substantial work will be done.

They tried but then Trump tanked it.

That’s a weird outlier with the Fox poll. Despite their parent affiliation they’re pretty reputable in terms of polling. 

 

Doesn't Fox have two polling operations? One that's pretty good and one that's exactly what you'd expect from Fox.

Do I believe 50% of the country is stupid?  Not necessarily.  What I do believe is that one political party has tired their future to a deeply stupid man, and is using all of their power and influence to convince people that these aren’t stupid ideas.  Republicans are running a campaign based on an imaginary country that doesn’t exist, and they’re desperately building set dressing to pretend that it actually is.  The are using the fact that many people rightly feel that the system is broken to gain a foothold, then throwing smoke and mirrors around to distract them from why that actually is the case.

Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris by 7 percentage points in Georgia, a key state that will help determine who will win the White House, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

The poll, conducted Oct. 10-14, showed Trump with support from 52 percent of likely voters in Georgia and Harris with 45 percent. In another swing state, North Carolina, Harris is ahead, with support of 49 percent of likely voters to Trump's 47 percent, within the margin of error.

Just a moment...

In The Belly Of The Beast: Kamala Harris Fights To Get A Word In During Inimical Inaugural Fox News Interview

DEADLINE.COM
Kamala Harris gets scrappy with Brett Baier in fiery Fox News debut interview

 

Quote

 

It wasn’t a good look for Fox, and a gift to Harris who got to play tough in Trump’s media backyard and lean into her rival’s mental decline. Raising her voice several times, the VP once again went hard on her default position that Trump is fundamentally “unstable” and dangerous to have back in the Oval Office.

 

Trump has declined to debate Harris again after the VP bested him in their September 10 cage match. To that end, today’s appearance by Harris on Fox News Channel’s Special Report is as close the VP may have to getting up-closer and personal with Fox’s ratings-topping audience.

 

As Baier played largely to the MAGA base and his core viewership, the veteran anchor appeared largely out of his depth. Challenged on his questions and wanting to flex his own muscles, Baier ended up fumbling his line of questioning and losing control of the interview to the well-prepped VP as he got caught up in centering over and over on culture war issues and Joe Biden’s mental acuity.

 

 

Quote

 

As the conversation progressed, Harris started to flip the script, raise her voice and talk over Baier to get her points across. “It’s not supposed to be easy, it’s not supposed to be a cake walk,” the VP sternly said to the anchor of how close the election is. She went on to criticize Trump’s attacks and insults against Americans who don’t support him and threatening to take revenge upon his enemies if he gets back in the White House. “I would never say that about the American people,” Harris emphasized, noting all the former members of the Trump administration and the military who say his potential return to office could be a disaster for the nation.

 

During one exchange, Harris shoved back hard at a clip Baier played of Trump laughing off his “enemy within” statements and accusing the Democrats of weaponizing the government against their political enemies. “Bret, I’m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within that he has repeated when he is speaking about the American people,” the VP insisted in what may be the clip of the interview for her supporters. “That’s not what you just showed,” Harris added, with a swipe at the media echo chambers.

I just watched the interview. She did ok. She didn’t answer a lot of the questions, but they were mostly gotcha questions. She doesn’t have a lot of charisma in these sorts of exchanges. Bret seemed rude at times and had an awkward performance.  
 

Trump will often times make others laugh in these sorts of interviews. Harris gets the job done, but she definitely lacks that charismatic connection.   
 

Overall I would say this helped more than hurt Harris.

I just watched this exchange on X, and frankly she did good.  It would have been great if she had the "enemy within" clip ready, but that simply wasn't possible.  Maybe she can make it into a campaign ad, featuring that particular clip of Trump, Fox's lies, and her response.

New Georgia election rules passed by Trump-backed board are unconstitutional, judge rules | CNN Politics

A judge in Georgia has struck down a slate of controversial new election rules passed by Donald Trump allies, including two that Democrats say would inject post-election “chaos” into the critical battleground state.

 

Among the rules Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox said violated state law are two that would require county election officials to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” into election results before certifying them and allow them to “examine all election related documentation created during the conduct of elections prior to certification of results.”

 

“The court here declares that these rules are illegal, unconstitutional and void,” Cox wrote in Wednesday’s ruling.

The fact that the Democratic nominee who is the sitting VP of a historically unpopular incumbent administration has at least a puncher's chance of winning this election is nothing short of miraculous.

 

Unpopular, short notice nominee, Black, Woman… “mostly” unknown (perhaps dismissed even by her own party)..

 

so yeah, that she has a chance to win is great.. she may yet prove “clumsy” as President but she certainly has stepped up and projected the presence necessary to at least walk through that doorway..  I hate that “Presidential Assassination attempts” have become “frequent and normalized” of late.. heres hoping she wins and post inauguration period cools the national temperature down significantly
