I find the discussion interesting...another point of view that is worth hearing. Id rather listen to these guys than read polls which tell us NOTHING

Once again let's be frank. Did Ike call off D-Day because of inclement weather? No. Did Patton call off the battle of the Bulge? Did Russia retreat at the Battle of Kursk? Biden has always been a Whimp. If he had run in 2016, the USA would never have had Drumpf from Dumbphuquistan (Putin's name for USA, when Drumpf planned to turn over the USA to Putinsky)

Captain Bone Spurs comes from a Family of Draft Dodgers--his father Fred and his grandfather who had his German Nationality revoked for draft dodging in WW1. He ran a whore house in Alaska and amassed a small fortune he gave to Fred Drumpf who lied to folks he was Swedish to court Jewish money. Joy Reid did an excellent short movie on Thursday detailing the Drumpfkin life on her show. It should be made into commercials while all of you arm chair QBs rant and rave. Stop flabberghasting. Do some strategy sessions with Joy and Rachel. This is the year of the woman not some old white Men who jack us all off on Substack. Ha Ha Ha.

Fewer than 1% of federal criminal defendants were acquitted in 2022

I cant stomach listening to Chuck Todd, not even for a moment, just wondering if he’d still rather be VP Harris or President Trump 1 week out like he was last week?!?

I’m sure now that President Trump is leading in all the swing states he probably doesn’t trust the polls ( 😂 )

Great advice this AM Chris about you are who your friends are!

Constantly insulting Chris' friend doesn't seem like the best idea.

Save the money. Invest in grammar and English classes. We're all going to benefit. Be good and on behalf of the Cillizza Fan Club, we're going to miss you, but we understand your decision.

Chris you’re talking too close to the computer screen and the glass is creating a lot of unpleasant audio feedback when you talk. You may want to rearrange your home setup so you are streaming from your phone’s camera and using the larger computer screen as a reference monitor when doing two way conversations.

This is not an interview it's a discussion between friends and it's very normal to talk over each other sometimes. The didiscussion is interesting even of i don't always agree. What we need to remember is respect for each other no matter our political affiliation...that's what Trump has destroyed with the MAGA movement.

I really have enjoyed these sessions.

Great video. All good points.

Given that it’s the craziest election ever, I think Harris will flip Florida or Texas or both early on in election night sending Trump Republicans into apoplexy. Mainstream media will fixate on these states and will force DeSantis and Abbot to publicly secede causing more chaos.

While I also think Cruz and Harris will lose too, Senate races will become a story for another night.

I think it’s unlikely that the states we think are the swing states will be the primary focus. And it’s really a night for women voters. It always has been since the overthrow of Roe. It just gets lost in the Trump noise. But when you think about it, on a Maslow hierarchy of needs level, it’s a basic human right issue which cuts across race, gender (to a degree) and political party.

To the great point that was made in the video, polling cant capture well, some issues.

To paraphrase Chuck, “This alone is worth the price of admission.”

So am I supposed to feel better?

This is the first time I have listened to Chris interview someone. While I like his writing, I couldn’t make it through the whole interview because it was maddening to try to follow the conversation with Chris interrupting and talking over Chuck Todd. I get it that he wants it to be a conversation, but don’t make your listeners have to try to decipher what is being said.

Thank you for saying this. I made a similar comment last week, but obviously he didn’t pay attention. I also wish Chris would just sit on his hands. I can’t finish watching the videos either. I did try this one, because I thought the topic would be interesting, but I couldn’t get past Chuck saying NC was his #2 critical for Harris — which interested me because I live in NC. I have to wonder if Chris is like this at home, constantly interrupting his wife.

I really hate chatter. I do not agree with you at all. The Mayor of OKC is your best roll out candidate. He The Terminator Ahnold and Mark Cuban on a bus touring Texas and Florida and Biden stepping down saying you all say Kamala is my clone, you will see she is not. I have been called risk averse, and unfortunately the new book by Bob Woodward is correct: I should never have picked Garland. page 312. I also made a huge mistake not equipping Ukraine as the Russian tanks and ships were surrounding Crimea. Of course Bill Clinton made a bigger mistake not placing US A & H bombs in Ukraine in 1994 with American A & HY bomb crews. It was our reverse Cuba Moment. 3 minutes away from Moscow.

Now I must allow Kamala a chance to select a new AG. I suggest Glenn Kirschner and A Court Martial for Trump immediately and other major events such as Indict Trump in DC for Egypt bribe. Move to denatrualize Murdoch and Musk. Talk about giving everyone in America the same healthcare coverage as Congress. Passing a line item veto bill once again. Passing a Transparency in Appropriations Bill. You refuse to sign on to a funding bill, your district or state is not awarded one cent. Too may freeloaders claiming funding they voted against. Cruz and PRICK Scott are among the worst. Indict Prick Scott for HCA theft of $1.7 BB. the Federal Court Conviction rate is 99.6% Check out Pew Research statistics. Indict thomASS Alito and Roberts for bribery actual and vicarious for Roberts. Community Property. Look at Agnew case and Oklahoma Supreme Court 1965. No code of conduct is needed for theft. Just look at the Baltimore Catechism every Cath-O-Lick has to read and memorize as a youth as I did as head altar boy at St. Aidan's on Long Island in 1956.

I was the victim of a great number of death threats in 1992-1994 when I represented one of the three Denny defendants in state court after the Rodney King Verdict. One of my former serial felons wrote a book I did not see until last year. Plus I had over 200 death threats from both Blacks and Whites on the case. Then I was diagnosed with Terminal Stage 5 tongue cancer from cleaning B 52 bombers at Boeing McDonnell Douglas in 1964-65. I also ran the AuH2O youth campaign in 1964 in Oklahoma. More to come after FedBusters. Look at Chapter 12. Larsen sent his trial judge a note Be Careful to your Olympic Ice Skating daughter Linda Fratianne. Then wanted the judge to give him probation. He sent death Threats to me Judge A. Andrew Hauk and prosecutor Kurt Rappe. None of us connected the dots. Read what it is like to be a defense attorney. Intimate details.

I don't think trump is smart enough to think past the next 10 minutes. He is totally impulsive and has no control over his emotions.
