The Grandpa Badfinger Turgid Poll Lead Fact Check Test is this: Do you know anyone who has gone from supporting Donald Trump in 2016 to supporting that basement-dwelling commie puppet weirdo in 2020?
I know zero people.
I don’t mean “practically zero” or “a few.” I mean zero. Nil. None. That blank is emptier than the space between Gropey J’s ears.
Now is this scientific? Am I denying science again? You know, the science that has Trump ahead in the polls that tended to be more on-target in 2016 and a dozen points back in the mainstream media outlets’ polls that invariably support the mainstream media outlet’s political agendas? That science?

All I can tell you about our county, people are leaving the democrat party. New people are registering as republicans and a lot of democrats have changed their party affiliation to republican.

It’s scary out there right now with the violence that’s going on but I think it’s going to be much worse after the election. Anyone with half a brain knows Biden is just a pawn. When the President wins , the riots will get worse. They are forcing him to put the military on the streets so they can call him a Dictator. Be ready

Having a bad day? Then read one of Kurt Schlichter's articles. No one can read Kurt Schlichter without laughing.

For now let's stipulate that Trump's confrontational manner had the Karens of the world diffident at best about supporting him. They are the people who put 'Mom's Taxi' stickers on their minivans and the naive 'Be Kind' without a hint of irony or self-awareness. They think 60 Minutes is an hour of unvarnished truth and fact.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is famous for its accuracy and common sense. First on the ladder is physical safety. Caveman/cavewoman stuff with mountain lions and such roaming around outside especially at night.
Well, guess what, Antifa/BLM? Rioting, looting, random assaults, shootings, beatings, attacking vehicles, blocking roads, and shouting through bullhorns is the antithesis of safety. Not only are you keeping the Karens at home with or without the virus, you are ensuring they won't enter your city or neighborhood again to shop, eat, go to a salon, etc. You are also ensuring that they certainly won't vote for any politician at any level who supports or tolerates the mayhem.
Your campaign of 'Trump is a bad guy and we hate him' has been doomed to fail from the word go because it consists purely of (negative) emotion and one falsehood after another. The Karens might have believed all the Russia stuff for a time. Now you're pushing a patently ridiculous 'Trump hates Troops' fiction and desperately returning to the dry well known as John McCain Is A Universally Admired Saint.
Many Karens have dealt with aging parents slipping sadly into mental decline. They instantly recognize the slow blinking, stiff/uncoordinated movements, shuffling feet, stammering, and frequent confusion exhibited by Joe Biden. The Karens love their Dads but don't trust them behind the wheel of a car especially with the grandkids in the back seat and they don't trust Joe Biden to deal with terrorism, economics, the virus, or anything else.

Someone (me) should point out that this latest canard floated by the leftist rag "The Atlantic" is just another attempt at distraction. Their is an immediate need on the Democrat side to get "Princess Nancy" off the front page, and a permanent need to discuss anything but policy - the important differences between the 2 parties: Street violence, support for law enforcement, open borders, subsidizing corrupt state and local governments, creeping socialism, future judicial appointments, various COVID-19 issues including reopening the economy, etc, etc.
As a 20 year military veteran who maintains close contact with veterans and military issues in general, I can tell you that the MSM notion that the "military is divided on Trump" is pure unmitigated BS. The military is visrtually united in its support of President Trump and in its utter contempt for the current Democrat leadership.

While he's probably correct, I'm reminded of '72 and Pauline Kael's (of the NY Slimes) observation that Nixon's landslide was impossible to believe, because she "didn't know anyone who voted for him". Nixon beat McGovern by taking 49 States--only the People's Republic of Taxachussetts and DC didn't go along.

IN the 2026 Trump base there were many Hillary haters. There was hope on the Left that a 'likeable guy' will bring these back. But no such thing appears to have occurred. Whatever reasons Creepy Joe hasn't given the Hillary haters to stick with their choice ,Horizontal Harris has supplied in buckets.

They are saying Biden has a 10 point lead now according to Bloomberg poll. I don't know if there is any truth to it. I am just concerned that people are believing that Scatlantic article because the media is doing everything it can to make it seem like he would say something like what they claimed.

Thanks for posting, Miss Molly... Schlichter's article was so fun to read! ... and the replies have been spot on. It reminds me of a recent article about how when events were so unreal, I would think I was going crazy... but turns out I was just being "gas-lighted." That is what the Media is doing... and it is propaganda to affect the election, which ought to send them straight to prison.

Not only are people leaving the demonrat party, they are leaving the demonrat states and cities in droves. Try to rent a Uhaul to get out of California or New York these days.
And, btw, it was Bill and Illary who publicly stated that they loathed the military and no one in the media expressed an iota of concern much less outrage.

As the left wing gets more desperate, they up the ante on anti Trump rhetoric.
I told Hillary supporter I don’t care if you bring me a 8x10 color photo of Trump fornicating a goat,”I am still not going to vote for Hildabeast!”
I feel the same about Biden. They would want us to vote for communism because the brought supposed and questionable evidence of something negative about Trump.
Notice we are supposed to believe the people that spit and shouted at our returning military and did everything to destroy it.

Met a guy the other day. Him and his wife are young small business owners. I assumed the guy leaned left and still may. He's voting Trump because he gets it. Trump will allow him to continue to support his family, grow his business and do his best to protect him from our government. Biden will destroy his business and put him on welfare. His words, not mine.

Democrats went off the cliff with Obama/Biden. Then, they tried to foist Hillary upon us. When Herself lost to President Trump, the democrats lost their sanity. The past four years have been terrible for democrats. They then couldn't even come up with a prospective candidate to energize the party for 2020- even with 20 or 25 lining up on the stage, promising every free thing imaginable! They had to settle for Slo Joe, 'lest the Independent, commie grampa hijack their party.
Then, to add insult to injury, they now try to pander with the Willie Brown reject, who knows only one way to politic.

Wrong! Wrong! I'M switching!
I was an enthusiastic Trump supporter - - MAGA and all that - - but when I saw that Jeff Flake, Carly Fiorina, and Chuck Hagel were supporting Biden - - I switched! How could anyone not listen to Jeff Flake, Carly Fiorina, and Chuck Hagel?

The only people who will switch from Trump to Biden are those whose IQ's are lower than Joe's

18. "The only people who will switch from Trump to Biden are those whose IQ's are lower than Joe's"
That's pretty much the definition of "nobody", right?

Well, our miserable ex-governor of Michigan switched because Trump is a big meanie. These RINO sell-outs are pathetic. I guess that all their elitist friends are happy. I worry about Michigan because of the Oakland County Karen vote and the corrupt secretary of state who will keep counting until Biden leads and then close it off.

I'm getting about twenty emails a day from the Trump campaign. What person in this country is still undecided at this point? What brain malfunction does one have to have to be undecided? Even for democrap voters who might be on the fence. What is there to be on the fence about?

Am confused. On Ms. Luci's blog I get reassuring articles like this that PT will be reelected. Other places on the web say that Gropey Joe will win in a landslide. Am trying to get an absentee ballot. Live in Georgia where elections used to be smooth but then some dims complained and now we spent $ 100 million on voting machines that don't work. Plus I don't want to stand in line for hours just to vote. You fill out a form for an absentee ballot and you never get a response.

Re #22, that lack of desire to stand in a long line could cost you. How about four-eight years of Dem misery. I hope you weren’t serious.
We have had to have absentee ballots for a few years. Fill them out at home, carry them to our polling place, zip past the lines and deposit them in a special box. Easy peasy.
Re absentee ballot, if you must have one, persist.

The democrats are all about cheating and lying...the Soros' DNC have put political munchkins in charge of major cities....they do as they are told for a variety of reasons... blackmail... funding...property... whatever the reasons...the DNC controls the cities...now that they have torched their cities they will look to expand to the suburbs... watch for it...they can now move on to greener pastures as the citizens of the cities will not be able to vote at a nearby polling place....less black voters for President Trump...time to squash the suburban vote...

Don't count out the resurrection of those thousand-points-of-light-compassionate-conservative Republicans. The NeverTrump crowd is playing the long game. After Trump, who? Mike Pence? Will the Trumpistas show up for him in 2024? If not Pence... Can the energy be transferred, assuming it lasts?

Love optimism in the morning. Look, unemployment is at 8% while California and New York are still in lockdown. The America First magic potion is making its way through the veins of America. No time this one to change the strong horse midstream.

I know zero people who wouldn’t crawl through broken glass to vote for Trump. We are cutting out late summer vacation short so we can cast our vote in person!
Don’t get complacent, we need a strong lead to overcome Democrat cheating!
