So the endorsement is a former rep not current Kasich clarified.

These brave republicans always stand up to big bad Trump when nothing is on the line

Genuinely will die if it is Paul Ryan

It will be John Boehner coming out on stage smoking a blunt.

Brendan Boyle is giving the keynote at the DNC. Huh?

Solving the Phillies bullpen is a serious issue.

Seems like a nice time to promote a new voice not some white male Democrat who is owned by labor and has basically no accomplishments.

Apparently they have 17 people giving the keynote

I am not sure they know what giving the keynote means

Oh. Missed that. Lol. Appreciate them trying something different in this weird time but...?

Looks like State Rep Malcolm Kenyatta is part of the 17. He campaigned for Biden in Iowa. Also, Conor Lamb, another right of center Democrat. Very cool!

CNN poll doesn't mean a lot, but will certainly get talked about a lot. Biden over Trump 50% to 46%.

I think if Trump really wants to sabotage the election, he should create evidence that the dems committed significant voter fraud through mail-in voting (basically frame them -- Russians or chinese could help), then declare himself the winner. Barr would then of course prosecute. It could be thrown to the courts. If they decide in his favor, he would get the win AND it would validate all his complaints about an unfair election, probably labelling dems as cheaters and destroying mail in voting in the process. Win, win, win, win. So much winning.

That's my conspiracy theory. Makes more sense than QAnon.

They've learned a lot from Collins.

Yeah. It has been all over the place. Something probably wrong with how they're doing the poll.

Presidents don't get to declare themselves the winner. There is this lil thing known as the electoral college that bares that responsibility. It will vote in December and its decision will be final.

Trump kicking off the day with a Fox and Friends meltdown. Should be a solid week

SO the government is opening the Alaskan wild life refuge to drilling and whatever rule they are planning to use they think they have ways to make it so it cannot be rolled back with a new administration. I assume the expected good old lawsuit could give enough time to have a new administration come in and administratively rescind it.

Weird. Do they think they’re gonna lose?

I saw this and was shocked and then realized that it this is the Republican party and nothing they do should surprise me. I am not an attorney but that mailer has got to be illegal, no? Or is it okay because it came from the party and not the board of elections? I still think it implies governmental endorsement of a candidate which certainly cannot be legal.

The ABC News/Wash Post poll out this morning looking a lot better for Biden than the CNN poll...
