Far-right lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene says far-right lunatic Laura Loomer’s ‘rhetoric and hateful tone…doesn’t represent MAGA as a whole.’ They continue to eat their own.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz predicted former President Trump’s performance in the Tuesday night debate will ultimately cost him the election in November.

In a Wednesday interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Luntz criticized the GOP nominee’s performance and pointed to specific moments in the debate against Vice President Harris that he noted were particularly negative.

“It was a pretty negative performance. Pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous,” Luntz told Morgan in the interview, highlighted by Mediaite, adding, “and I think that this will cost him, yes.”

Luntz hesitated, appearing to choose his words carefully.

“I’m trying to decide if I want to go on record, and the answer is yes,” he continued. “I think that — that he loses because of this debate performance.”

I'm not sure I agree with Luntz, but his focus groups are usually pretty spot-on. I do hope he's right.

So say we all!

MTG is just jealous she wasn’t invited on trumps plane

Supposed to receive mail-in ballots. Let's see how that goes.

Vice President Harris has widened her lead over former President Trump in a survey conducted after they clashed at their Tuesday debate.

The Morning Consult poll found Harris leading by 5 points after the high-stakes ABC debate, ticking up from the 3- and 4-point leads she held in the same survey before the event in Philadelphia.

If the election were held today, 50 percent of respondents said they would cast their ballot for Harris, up from 49 percent who were polled before the debate.

Trump, on the other hand, lost support. Ahead of the debate, 46 percent of respondents said they would cast their ballot for the former president if the election were held today. After Tuesday’s debate, that decreased to 45 percent.

A majority of Harris’s support comes from Democrats, but she leads Trump among independent voters with 46 percent support to his 40 percent, the survey found.

“It’s too early to say whether Harris’ debate performance is the key driver of our latest head-to-head numbers, as our short-term trends suggest she was already building momentum ahead of Tuesday’s televised match-up,” Morning Consult analysts wrote.

Still, that debate performance, which was widely seen as successful, will help her sustain that momentum, they wrote.

Harris and Trump met for the first time on the debate stage in Philadelphia, where they sparred over key issues including abortion and immigration.

The last few elections have made me quite skeptical of the polls.

Worse is the fact that still half the damn people in this country think Trump is the man for the job.

Walz, as VP candidate, doesn't have as much pressure to be, or as much to lose by not being, as calm, cool, collected, and honestly, Presidential, as Harris was, and had to be. He can make the jabs at Vance, and even Trump, that Kamala can't, as he already has with his "if Vance can get off his couch" comment. I think Vance will be running just as fast and as far away from further debates as Trump is.

Vance is the second worst thing to happen to Trump after Biden stepped down, and it's entirely self-inflicted, where picking Walz seems to be the second best, after Biden stepped, down for Harris.

All Kamala has to do in order to embarrass the tangerine turd again is make not debating her a blow to his ego. He'll rise to that as predictably as a sunrise, and, handler's-be-damned, rush headlong into another beating.
