Trump has a long history of praising Robinson. At a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, in March, Trump said he was listening to Robinson speak while he was on his plane and called him “Martin Luther King on steroids.” "I said, ‘I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two,’” Trump said at the time. :lol:

The Robinson story is currently story #19 on Fox News. Pathetic.

Trump probably also compares the other black person he likes, Ben Carson, to MLK.

Hoping he stays in the race. This could possibly flip NC and possibly the electoral college.

I just saw a clip where he talked about being fact checked “9 to 11Times” in the debate and that “the audience went absolutely crazy over it”… even Beemer can’t defend that loss of cognition. He’s imagining entire audiences…

They corrected me nine times, but they never corrected Kamala even once
Thats because nothing Kamala said needed to be corrected. :lol

Holy Shit is Nate Silver in his head or what?
https://www.natesilver.net/p/dont-let-r ... -a-fool-of
If one candidate has a big lead, there’s a bit less mental strain from all of this. Harris +8 doesn’t feel that different from Harris +4, and an 85 percent probability of her winning doesn’t feel that different than 75 percent. But when the probabilities are in the vicinity of even, it can seem like you’re ping-ponging between radically different universes. A forecast showing Harris as a 55/45 favorite will be interpreted much differently from one showing Trump as a 55/45 favorite instead, even though they’re basically saying the same thing: the election is more or less a coin flip.

If you enjoy what gamblers call the sweat, navigating the vicissitudes of these slightly changing probabilities, I get it, and the model is here for you. But if you don’t, there’s another option beyond voting, donating and volunteering: chilling the eff out. The dunk you make on Twitter isn’t going to make Trump lose. The nasty comment you leave isn’t going to make Trump win. You can unskew the polls, but usually, you’re only fooling yourself. So lead your best life, and have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change.

He blogs, that's his thing. This entry shows that there is no predictable model for this year.

I can't wait to see how the polls look in a few weeks. Trump is pushing hard for OTA television.
Harris, With an Online Avalanche, Outspends Trump by Tens of Millions. The week of their debate, Kamala Harris outspent Donald Trump by 20 to 1 on Facebook and Instagram. It was just one sign of how uneven their online advertising battle has become.
