Quote:Former President Trump is setting off alarms among critics as he pushes the claim that Vice President Harris’s ascent to become the Democratic nominee is somehow unconstitutional, with some warning he could be laying the groundwork to contest an electoral defeat as he did in 2020.

Trump has repeatedly sought to cast Harris replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee as nefarious, likening it to a “coup” and in recent days claiming it may be unconstitutional because she was not atop the ballot in the primary process.

Biden and other Democrats, as well as some Republican Trump critics, have suggested the former president’s rhetoric is intended to cast doubt on November’s results should Harris prevail.

[...]

Trump, who was leading Biden in the polls and appeared on track for victory in November, has repeatedly said the president was forced out and called it a “coup.” More recently, he has questioned whether Democrats replacing Biden with Harris somehow violated the Constitution, particularly after recent polls show Harris closing in on him.

In a Truth Social post this week, Trump claimed Biden’s presidency was “Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him.”

“From a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away,” Trump said at a Thursday press conference.

The good thing is that this time the National Guard will be stood up.

Polling:

Quote:Vice President Harris is up 4 points on former President Trump in three battleground states with less than three months left until the election, according to new polling from The New York Times/Siena College.

The survey, published Saturday morning, found that Harris has taken the lead over the former president in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, garnering 50 percent support to Trump’s 46 percent in the hypothetical matchup.

Harris’s numbers mark a significant improvement to former President Biden’s in the same swing states.

[...]

Asked how satisfied voters were with their party’s nominee, most respondents in the survey gave a positive answer.

Broken down by party, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to say they were satisfied with their nominee — 87 percent to 79 percent, respectively. Roughly 12 percent of Democrats and 19 percent of Republican respondents said they were unsatisfied, per the poll.

About 60 percent of independent voters said they were satisfied, compared to 37 percent who said the opposite, the survey found.

Harris's lead is within the margin of error, but I think that enthusiasm gap could be dangerous for the Republicans, in that it may drive Democratic turnout or depress Republican turnout.

Tim Walz is the man who would gladly escort a student back to her dorm room after dark. JD Vance is the reason she’d need an escort in the first place.

The official military term for Vance's role in going after Walz's military recored is 'buddy fucker'.

I just want Trump to lose.

Even better...lose to a woman...better yet...a woman of color.

The song selection is hopefully prophetic.
