Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 10/9/24, 8:12 am

I have linked to other people talking about the new G Line. But like a fool, I had not taken it yet. Now that I have, I think it’s neat. It’s tough to do east-west connections within Seattle. And man does it. I took it at rush hour and it seems like it could add more people comfortably.

Also, I have never rode some of the Rapid Ride lines outside of the city, so forgive me if this is old hat there, but I can’t recall a bus with doors on either side depending on the stop. Obviously that’s how light rail and the streetcar work, but just adding it to a bus feels innovative.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    The Kremlin on Wednesday confirmed a report that former President Trump sent Russian President Vladimir Putin COVID-19 testing equipment during the height of the pandemic.

    The Trump campaign categorically denied new revelations in journalist Bob Woodward’s new book “War,” which renewed scrutiny of the relationship between Putin and the Republican presidential nominee.

    It’s likely that many/most of the quality* swing state polls and national polls will remain within the MOE through election day.
    That’s a normal expectation given what we already know about the polarization in the elctorate and how “undecided” voters respond to pre-election surveys.

    Remember that in past election polling analysis that was seen to have “failed” it was most often because of two significant features of that analysis: the modeled electorate was wrong and the assumption that “undecided voters” would split was wrong. That happened in both 2016 and to a lesser extent in 2020. In 2016 that resulted in poll analysts being overconfident about the probability of Clinton winning. In 2020 it resulted in poll analysts being underconfident about the probability of Biden/Democrats winning.

    We won’t know how badly pollsters modeled turnout until months from now. All any campaign can do is put in the work to produce the turnout. But we can pay attention to quality poll crosstabs to understand how undecided voters in swing states may be breaking. Remember that these undecided voters in these states are not anything like us when it comes to politics. They simply aren’t nearly as aware of events surrounding the campaigns or the candidates. And in a sense Stephen Colbert is right in saying that “it is about the vibes”.

    Trump is doing a much better job than he was a month ago talking more about the voters and their concerns and less about himself and his concerns. The critical things seems to be that his campaign have found a few key grievances that he shares with voters and then turned him loose on those. His messaging about these grievances may be flawed and even dangerous, but it is at least about the voters more than it is about himself.

    Harris has to remain as disciplined as she has been and keep pounding away at her same messaging addressing the issues the voters say they care about, and avoid getting drawn into editorializing about her opponent. The only time the Harris campaign should be talking about Trump is when they are pointing out how some specific promise or threat of his will frustrate or worsen their biggest issues and concerns they have.

    The campaign has announced that as part of their closing argument they will be running some messaging that is more directed at criticizing Trump. Watch closely. And see that it will be focused on Trump’s promises to cut taxes for his billionaire pals, raise costs for everyone else with ruinous tariffs, pass a nationwide abortion ban, and deploy soldiers into our communities to go to war against us and our neighbors.

    *Remember that in this final month the media are swamped with shit polling from untested sources using both untested methodology and even obviously flawed methodology.

    And what are their concerns? He might talk about lowering inflation – they don’t respond.. golf claps..

    He talks about “sending them the hell back” and they scream their asses off.

    Their “concerns” are white supremacy. The tariffs? They’ll raise prices but to them it means punishing China – people who don’t look like them.

    9,
    Yup. It’s a real dilemma, but one the campaign has embraced.

    The only way to get their candidate to address the concerns of voters is to steer him towards the things that unleash his most vile racist, misogynist, bigoted, and violent tendencies. Push him to talk about public safety and he talks about giving police “a national day of violence” and conducting summary executions in the streets. Steer him to talk about immigration and he talks about actual Nazi Race Science and ethnic cleansing.

    And because the candidate says what he says, every other Republican, including every Republican candidate down the ballot, is forced to defend it. And thus it becomes incorporated into the party brand. Forever.

    It’s not really at all the same as when Chip Roy says some digusting and offensive shit. This is the party standard bearer who is seen to be articulating the party’s message to the American people. And it’s an extremely racist, violent, and misogynistic message that is being lodged with moderate and unaligned voters in every part of the country. It absolutely kills them in places like Washington or California. But it probably doesn’t help as much as they need it to in places like rural Michigan or Montana.

    Lara Trump has the inside track on polling.

    The polling, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, showed that when respondents were asked which candidate ‘represents change,’ 46 percent said Harris, while 44 percent said the former president. Two percent said both, 4 percent said neither and 4 percent said they didn’t know or refused to answer.

    “Well I don’t believe that poll at all …” Lara Trump told Laura Ingraham on Tuesday in an interview on Fox News. … “I get slipped beverage napkins every time I get on an airplane, saying ‘We can’t wait to vote for Trump,’ ‘Go Trump,’ ‘Trump 2024,’ ….”

    https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4923656-rnc-co-chair-lara-trump-dismisses-poll/

    Early voting stands at about 3 million right now. Down from the COVID record of about 9 million at this point in 2020, but double the pre-COVID 2016 voting at this point.

    Some Republican states have imposed big restrictions on early voting since Fat Hitler lost so badly four years ago. So that accounts for some of the drop from 2020. But also owing to COVID restrictions in 2020 record numbers of voters had to be shifted to other means of voting. So we do not expect to see 2020 early voting patterns. But to already be running at twice the rate of 2016 is encouraging for higher than average turnout. And as we all know, high turnout with more elibible voter participation is bad for Fat Hitler and Repubicans in general.

    Now remember, as Florida governor Ron DeSantis deals with the carnage caused by Hurricane Milton today and for weeks to come, beginning with the effort to restore power to the 3 million Floridians who don’t have it, the Boxcheck Momala perspective is that DeSantis is selfish because he didn’t take her phone call on Monday.

    Meanwhile, yesterday her boss supported her perspective this way:

    MSNBC
    @MSNBC
    Pres. Biden asked by a reporter if Gov. DeSantis needs to take VP Harris’ calls on hurricanes.

    Biden: “All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Gov. DeSantis. He’s been very gracious. He’s thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing and I think that’s important.”

    Elections, News, Politics
    Wisconsin US Senate race rating moves to toss up

    On Tuesday, the Cook Political Report switched their rating of the closely watched contest from “Lean D” to “Toss Up,” noting that with less than a month until the Nov. 5 election, the group’s Swing State Project survey shows “Wisconsin to be the closest Senate race of the five battlegrounds polled.”

    Jessica Taylor is the Senate and governors editor for the Cook Political Report. She told WPR its most recent swing state polling, released Oct. 2, showed Baldwin only leading Hovde by 2 percentage points among Wisconsin voters and she’s heard from both campaigns that internal polling matches that.

    Hops, the only thing Cut and Run Walz has sealed is Boxcheck Momala’s fate. Apparently with some pretty serious down-ballot consequences for Democrats as well.

    The country that can do no wrong just can’t get no respect:

    Whenever Israeli forces pull out of one part of the Gaza Strip, Hamas reappears, forcing the IDF to return. It’s “Groundhog Day” with guns. Israel can continue fighting Hamas until kingdom come, but it’s doubtful it will ever succeed in eradicating the terrorist organization, which is deeply embedded in Gazan society…

    The endgame in Lebanon is just as murky. Israeli troops can advance into Lebanon, but can they get back out? So far, the Israeli ground operation has not ended Hezbollah’s rocket attacks on northern Israel.

    All of this sequential news and reporting is cumulative in nature in the final weeks. But you should not look for it to significantly move polls. It has almost no effect on decided voters.

    As the polls move to Trump, the money follows.

    The surge came amid little positive news about the company, but coincided with some recent presidential election polls and other indicators that allies of former President Donald Trump, its majority shareholder, took as positive signs.

    Many analysts have described Trump Media as a meme stock that is being bought and sold in large part by fans of Trump, who view investing in the company as a way to support the Republican presidential nominee and wager on his odds of winning the White House.

    Don’t forget the “concerning” fact that, with the board’s apparent blessing, the CEO has recently purged the senior ranks of anyone with relevant technical experience because they told on him to the board. That goodwill is not actually unquantifiable. The evidence suggests that the goodwill is deeply underwater.

    Expert: Harris’ Home Care Plan Would Be a Game-Changer The VP wants Medicare to fund in-home support—a huge benefit for aging and disabled people.
    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/harris-medicare-disability-home-health-care/

    America is not ready for the deluge of pain that is about to hit middle-aged people. Middle-aged people who can barely afford to take care of themselves in their families, who believe that their parents have Social Security or pensions or retirement plans in place that will assist them as they get older. But they probably don’t. You probably think that the money that they’ll get once they’re unable to work is going to cover the cost of retirement homes and nurses, but it won’t.

    “The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped”.

    Especially in red states.

    What Medicare and SS can’t do, Medicaid does, but poorly. But as you know (you do know, don’t you?*) Medicaid is grant funded to the states and the states pitch in as they choose. Get the picture?

    Turns out most Republican voters in red states are pretty clueless about all this.

    Meaning the questions, and the people asking them, were chosen in advance. Because with a lightweight like Boxcheck Momala, it’s not enough to give her the questions in advance. She also needs to be given the answers and to have them projected in front of her so she can read.

    Because to make it through his one and only debate Director of Uteri Diet Private had to spend 90 minutes platforming and elevating established Democratic economic policy as his own.

    In the last week or so the Harris campaign coms team has slowly tested and refined a strategy to get Fat Hitler frustrated and angry so he’ll resume focusing on his least effective messaging: himself.

    Trump is at his most effective when he is reflecting and channeling the grievances of his audience of dipshits who vote. But as we have seen time and time again, when something wounds his precious fragility he loses that focus and shifts to “punching back” with long, rambling stump screeds and ALL CAPS socials complaining about how he is being treated “unfairly” and targeting his “enemies”.

    Last night in Philly gave a great example of this when President Obama used the portion of his address promoting Kamala’s economic policies to take a dig at Fat Hitler over his problems with incontinence:
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/barack-obama-trump-diapers_n_67087acae4b0c34b3eba69f6

    The idea is to keep Trump and his closest message and coms team distracted with “fighting back”, but in particular “fighting back” on these things that simply have no resonance with real people who vote. Now Trump will spend a day or more complaining about and attacking Barack Obama. And not only will that messaging be boring to most swing voters, it will be alienating as hell to non-white voters in general, and non-white male voters in particular.

    Over here a wildly popular former two-term President saying diapers are too expensive and President Harris will help you with that.

    And over there a fired loser saying “the blacks are dumb”.

    Many of these men (especially the ones Fat Hitler hoped he can pick off) cast their first ever votes in an election for President Barack Obama. For most of them, he’s the most trusted and respected figure in American political life, and probably always will be.

    But that’s a concept that a racist white incel mouldering in a damp, mossy blue tarp compound in Puget Sound can’t comprehend. Nor can Fat Hitler.
