Best Closing Ad?. If it can be measured by outrage from the patriarchy, then yes. Take, for example, Jesse Watters. And Charles Kirk. Please:
“If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters told the rest of the panel. “That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?”
“Why would she do that and vote Harris? Why would she say she was voting… If I caught her and she said ‘I lied to you for the last four years’,” he added.
Appearing on Megyn Kelly’s SiriusXM program, rightwing commentator and activist Charlie Kirk said Harris “needs people to basically lie to their husbands, which they are promoting … I find that entire advertising campaign so repulsive. It is so disastrous … It is the embodiment of the downfall of the American family.”
“I think it’s so gross. I think it’s so just nauseating where this wife is wearing the American hat. She’s coming in with her sweet husband, who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can … have a nice life and provide for the family,” he added.
“And then she lies to him, saying, ‘Oh yeah, I’m gonna vote for Trump.’ And then she votes for Kamala Harris as her little secret in the voting booth. Kamala Harris and her team believe that there will be millions of women that undermine their husbands, and do so in a way that it’s not detectable in the polling.”
Stupid women. They just don’t know their place. I think they do. I think Trump will find out on Tuesday.
Early Voting, Democratic Enthusiasm, Great Signs For Harris:
Democratic voters continue to be significantly more likely than Republican voters to cast early ballots. Currently, 63% of registered voters who are Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents have already voted or plan to vote before Election Day, compared with 47% of Republicans and Republican leaners. The 16-percentage-point Democratic-Republican gap is similar to what Gallup measured in the 2020 election (74% for Democrats and 56% for Republicans). Before 2020, Republicans and Democrats were about equally likely to vote early.
The poll also reveals that, regardless of when people plan to vote this year, more will vote in person than did so in 2020 (67% vs. 60%, respectively). Correspondingly, fewer will vote by mail or absentee ballot than in 2020 (26% vs. 35%), when the election took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Democrats and Democratic leaners (35%) are twice as likely as Republicans and Republican leaners (17%) to be voting by absentee ballot. Both party groups show similar declines in absentee voting compared with 2020 — an eight-point decline for Republicans and 10 points for Democrats.
Seventy percent of registered voters say they are more enthusiastic than usual about voting, similar to the 71% measured in August but higher than the 56% in March. The increase this summer was largely a result of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents expressing heightened enthusiasm after Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket, surging from 57% to 79% “more enthusiastic.”
Now, Democrats maintain elevated election enthusiasm, at 77%, compared with 67% among Republicans.
Can We Please Stop With This Ramone-Is-A-Moderate Bullshit? Yes, he is trying to assume the mantle of a Castle Republican. But it’s not true. Mike Ramone led a Rethug walkout in the House of Representatives because D’s wouldn’t go along with his scheme to allow LLC’s and corporations to vote as people in municipal elections. He forced the House to pay his lifeguards a sub-minimum wage in exchange for Rethug support on the Bond Bill, which required a super-majority he refused to deliver until he got his special-interest legislation. Let the record show that Mike Smith, Kevin Hensley, Lyndon Yearick and Brian Shupe literally and figuratively marched in lock-step with Ramone. Hey, if you’re in favor of short-changing lifeguards and allowing LLC’s to vote in municipal elections, that’s your team right there.
What do you want to talk about?
– Gen Z: “confused why the episode [Access Hollywood tape] wasn’t a dealbreaker in 2016.”
Me too. Ask your parents – something about “her emails” (you may also have to ask them what “emails” are).
– Jesse Watters: ““If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair”
Emma was Watters’ mistress before he divorced his first wife.
– Ramone-Is-A-Moderate Bullshit: Ramone is airing an TV ad with his daughter Brittany claiming he is pro-choice and scoffing at the idea he is right-wing. (Hell, we couldn’t even keep our Democratic governor from vetoing Democratic legislation).
If you’re considering voting early at Claymont Community Center but are put off by the line — don’t be. I started out in front of the old school entrance and it took less than an hour to get through. Plus, it’s a beautiful day.
That’s where I voted yesterday.
Pretty long line, but only took about 20-25 minutes.
My wife and mother-in-law had a similar experience.
Matt and Sarah have been extremely active campaigning with down-ballot candidates. Very nice to see!
Doesn’t seem like LBR is as active with supporting other candidates, but maybe I just haven’t seen it?
I know that Sarah will be campaigning with, and on behalf of, a key D House challenger this weekend. I’ll be out there, too. Both Matt and Sarah have been maxing out to a lot of challengers, and incumbents in competitive races.
