@#9 ... +6 if past polling for 2016 and 2020 holds true for her to win. ...

I have often said that a ~10% lead in general polling is needed to overcome the Electoral College effects. Currently the polls are still wallowing in the quagmire of margin of error.

I have also said that this far out from Election Day (the polls are still mainly registered voters, and not likely voters), I look to the polls more for trends than outcomes.

And the current trends do not seem to be favoring fmr Pres Trump.

@#49 ... Hidden "talking points" behind every post. That's what you're Hallucinatin'. ...

Oh, they do not seem to be all that well hidden.

But, do try harder.

... The increased security comes a month after the assassination attempt on Trump during a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. In the weeks following, the U.S. Secret Service came under fire for security lapses that allowed the shooter to gain access to a nearby roof before striking the former president in the ear, killing an attendee and injuring two others. The Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned in the aftermath of the shooting.

The Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies will station boats displaying flashing blue lights around the three zones, which encompass broad swaths of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, "when persons under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service are present or expected to be present," the agency said in a news release Friday. ...

@#47

Yeah, that was my first opinion.

@#44 ... Dude seek help, you're Hallucinatin'...you see things that aren't there. ...

What things am I seeing that are not there.

Be specific.

I remember the brouhaha that was kicked up when fmr Pres Trump had a 1.4% lead in the general polling.

Of course, now that it seems that VP Harris has the 1.4% lead, we'll be hearing how that lead doesn't mean anything.

The odd thing is, I would agree.

It is the Electoral College,and not the general election polling, that matters.

But there does seem to be a trend in place.

@#41 ... I have no talking points, ...

Yeah, sure.

What else yer got?

Oops, forgot to add ...

The article is from 2022.

Oh please.

Pres Putin's assault upon the sovereign country of Ukraine has been a failure since the first month he enacted it.

... An unknown suspect or suspects first fired shots at security personnel at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland/Chapman Training Annex around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday, the San Antonio Police Department said in a statement issued to media outlets.

More shots were fired just before 5 a.m., coming from a sedan stopped on a road east of the same entrance gate.

"For a second time, shots were fired at the Air Force Security personnel, however, with the additional security personnel present, multiple Air Force personnel returned fire toward the suspect vehicle," police said. "Upon investigation, evidence was located indicating shots were fired from the suspect vehicle's location. This investigation is ongoing."

Base officials also confirmed the shooting incident in an issued statement.

"We did not have any casualties or injuries," the statement said. "It was not an active threat to the installation. San Antonio Police Department are handling the investigation of the incident." ...

@#7 ... You aren't data driven at all, just made up BS. ...

That is a very significant accusation.

What's your current alias got?

@#7 ... IRS data proves ...

A citation of an OpEd proves nothing.

What else yer got?

Apropos?

@#22 ... Some of the brightest Retort members choose to live in Florida, Rogers, Yav, Danni, etc ...

I do not disagree.

But then I have to ask, why do you seem to disagree with those "brightest" members so frequently?

... With U.S. citizens and municipalities now a less reliable source of data, experts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have turned to the sewers to monitor the presence of infectious disease in our wastewater.

The results of those tests can provide an early warning system, according to the CDC, as trace amounts of the virus will register even before someone experiences symptoms. It takes about five to seven days for the flush of the toilet to yield results, the CDC says.

States that made "very high" list, as of August 9, include: California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri, Idaho, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Minnesota, Maryland, New Mexico, Colorado, Massachusetts and Virginia. ...

@#22 ... Someone needs to keep track of how many lies this Walz guy has been tellin ...

OK, I elect you.

And do compare Gov Walz lies to fmr Pres Trump's lies.

Are you up to the task?

... the 60th anniversary of Fannie Lou Hamer's testimony to the 1964 convention in an unsuccessful effort to get Black delegates from Mississippi seated. ...

And, Mississippi has changed from then... how?

@#10 ... He goes to them because birds of a feather flock together. ...

Yup.

That seems to be what fmr Pres Trump. To his core.

And what his campaign struggles so much to try to get him to talk about other things.

One thing I have seen supporters of fmr Pres Trump say over and over is that he speaks his mind.

Do we really want that mind in the Oval Office?

@#25 ... The "basis" of their assertions are contained in every single linked document with the exact information being reported by them. ...

Thank-you for that.

But I will still say that GroundWork needs to do better than hiding behind a video on their About page.

Yeah, OK, I will readily admit, I'm an old fart, but, still.

An About page should be one that gushes about what the website is "about," without making the page visitor sitting thorough a long rambling video.

imo, GroundWork failed in that basic area.

For example...

@#11 ... Prove it. I call BS ...

What's to prove?

Is this your new Obama Birth Certificate?

imo, the fact that your current alias is asking these questions means that it cannot reply to the questions I ask in my comments.

To me, that is the more important question here.

@#21 ... Gee,I'm Sooo Surprised that corporations used the Pandemic as an excuse to jack prices and pad their bottom lines. ...

Really?
