Didn't this poll show blacks at 23% for Trump and women 46%?  Biden got 57% of the women vote in 2020 and that was before Dobbs.  Copium I guess you can call it but those are some weird numbers

 

 

What are you trying to say here? A change for women from 43% Trump to 46% Trump is weird? I mean it’s insane that Trump is above 10% in any demographic, but a 3 point change is not much.

I'm for whatever hurts Trump's chances the most. 

So far, Biden is hurt more than Trump when RFK Jr is included in the poll.

It's the Michigan primary today (@ZRod). Rep Tlaib is running a counter campaign against Biden. Voters can vote undecided. It'll be interesting to see how wide spread those undecided votes are throughout the state. I doubt it'll make much difference nationally in Nov, blue no matter who.

 

Guess who Michigan Dems nominated for president in 1972:

George Wallace, early player of the circle game! Wallace was a close 3rd to McGovern and Humphrey.

It’s Biden’s fault Hamas raped and murdered and kidnapped a bunch of people in Israel so I’m voting for Trump.

Holy Uncanny Photographic Mental Processes, Batman,  did we really need Captain Obvious to do this study!!

 

Anyone who has been around little boys and girls, knows this is obvious.  

Anyone who has been/or is married, knows this is obvious.

Anyone who has read the Bible, knows this obvious. 

 

 

 

 

The main point is with AI they can see different neural patterns between men and women which humans had never been able to see before. I assume they’ll be able to do a lot more with this.

No way you should be allowed to buy a Lambo wearing beige sandals with socks.

They’re also the ugliest beige sandals ever created. 

Carson Beck’s parents should tell him how much retirement costs and how long most NFL careers last (for the ones who make it).

I get the sense the Russians have more American-born assets in the US than Russian-born, and I think all they’re doing is buying them. 

It’s really weird to me that we refer to dictators as strong men when they are the literal opposite of that. 

They are so weak they can’t allow people with opinions to live, and they have minions doing all the dirty work for them. They are the epitome of what it is to be a weak man.

@ZRodYou obviously aren't a believer and so you freely give your opinion.

 

Me, I am a believer and find everything you said very offensive. To begin with you slander only Christianity and ignore the other faiths.. I call that (not you ZRod, rather the commonly intentional singling out Christianity) a cowardly statement/mistake/fear of offending other religions.

My fellow Christians have a persecution complex. Nothing he said was offensive. God created genitals. Zrod was talking about religion, and then replied to TGH’s post where he was talking about the Bible, so therefore he mentioned the versions of the Bible. Makes sense.

I've said this before on here.  The three or four people that have screwed me the most in business are people who constantly talk about how Christian they are and constantly putting themselves out as so much more righteous than anyone else.   It flies right in the face of this.

 

 

 

I believe that everyone should carry with them the morals and beliefs of their religion and think about that when serving others.  But, it's not our duty to force those beliefs on others.  We should lead as Christians by living our lives as we believe we should and then that is an example to others.  NOT... to throw it in their faces, but to live in a way to serve others and hopefully that rubs off on others.

This has been my experience too. Not in business but in life; the more self-righteous a person acts about their Christianity, the worse they turn out to be. I say this as a Christian.

When I was 14 I was working on a website for a store, at the store, and listening to a popular pop singer who was just singing a generic love song with nothing controversial in it. The guy who helped us with our computer/internet stuff was a pastor and he came in and lectured me about how evil secular music was. About a month later I learned that he was cheating on his wife and ran off with the girl he was cheating with. 

Now people in Alabama are asking if they have to pay a bunch more to store embryos forever. Hypothetically let’s say embryos are people. Isn’t keeping them alive forever as a 3 day old couple of cells worse than destroying them?

Also, they’re stored in -320 degrees. I’m pretty sure a living person can’t survive that. 

Basketball is the worst sport when it comes to how it ends. I wish non-shooting fouls took 10 secs off the clock in the last 2 minutes.

No don’t now they’ll come back again. 

I’ll repeat what I’ve said before. Mast looks super clutzy sometimes. 

This is reminding me of the away game against Rutgers (I believe).  We were up by a lot and threw it away. 

Edit: Ok maybe it was Minnesota. 

The belief of unborn personage may impact in vitro fertilization. But hey maybe more of those people will now adopt the babies other women are being forced to have.

Voters who reached 18 and voted Democrat are now 45-55 and vote Republican.  Hence they changed their mind.   Cross tab polling data has shown for decades that Democrats win the young vote and Republicans tend to win the older vote.   People aren’t just born older.   Over time they change their mind of how to vote. 

Can you point me towards this data? Below is all I can find. If it was even in the mid-90s, I’m surprised Democrats won often 20 years later when the population is top heavy and older people have a higher % of people voting. A lot of them switching to Republican doesn’t seem accurate to me. 

and I’ll add to what others have said. They’re anecdotes but my mom, who was a lifetime Republican through her 60s, has not voted for a Republican president since she voted for Bush in 2000. She kept voting for other Republicans for awhile, but because of Trump she refuses to vote for any Republicans now.

Meh, maybe, maybe not. It’s a binary outcome. One of the two sides wins. So I don’t get too caught up in gaming out different variables or minor factors like third party. I’m sure as s#!t not losing any sleep over a Kennedy failson or some No Labels circlejerk that might impact things on the margins.

 

Since I’m 100% locked in with my vote with no reservations, there are a couple points I hang my hat on that keep me sane these days.

 

One is just that it’s not even March. The primary is still ongoing for both parties, nominally. There’s still so much that will happen yet that will affect public opinion and ultimately voting intention. The average American voter has the attention span of a goldfish. Thus I no more trust a poll for the November election in February than I do a primary poll in May of 2023.

 

The other piece is that Trump hemorrhages support among his soft supporters if he’s convicted of ANYTHING. This one is a bit more conditional, as it requires the very slow burn of our justice system to continue cranking along and ultimately bend toward actual accountability. But if it does his non MAGA supporters are going to head for the exits. Poor, he loses. He simply cannot win with the hardcores alone. Thus I also don’t give a single rip what the hardcore MAGA crowd thinks or does. Once most voters stop daydreaming that this rematch isn’t inevitable, as much as we all don’t want it to be, many of the will realize Trump is the same corrupt, self-serving obnoxious prick he’s always been and they still really dislike him. Coupled with an actual criminal record I think it’s enough to sink him.

 

I actually agree with most of your analysis and generally really enjoy your input anyway, this is merely playing devil’s advocate to find silver linings for anyone who’s too stressed out by all of this.

Sorry to try to affect your sanity but this third party candidate isn’t minor. He’s polling at 14% right now. That’s closer to Perot than it is to Nader or Stein. 

Just have it be required for all P5 teams that you play at least one non con against a P5 team. It’s one of the only ways to help get the polls right and reduce the # of SEC teams in the playoffs.

Hm, not quite sure how it works then. I just know I can't see much anymore.

Suits season 8 is the worst season of the show.  But, the last episode made it all worth watching.  Midway through season 9 and wishing it wasn't ending.

I stopped years ago like 3 eps into season 8.
