There's also new polling data showing Biden up by as much as 12 points nationally, something that no challenger has ever had this late in the game. He's also above 50% nationally, which is also unprecedented.

Trump does love his superlatives, so I'll give him this -- he's on track to lose bigly. I mean, yuuuge margin of defeat. I doubt it'll be Reagan-Mondale level defeat, just because some states would literally vote for a baby-eating alien overlord before they would vote for a Democrat. But it's still nice to be heading into the last 3 weeks without a shitton of anxiety.

In SC, Lindsey Graham is refusing to get COVID tested, leading to his second debate with Jaime Harrison being changed to essentially dueling infomercials. Clever move by Graham, as he's gotta know he looks bad on a debate stage alongside literally anyone with a pulse.

And don't worry about Michigan, because a private security firm is hiring former Special Forces guys to protect the polls.

Meh. Obviously, I'm not going to be the one to slag anyone for marital infidelity. But it was a dumb move.

Meanwhile....BWAHAHAHAHA

@Dunamisdeos: Senate candidate, not Governor. Our Gov seems like a pretty folksy, straight-laced guy. Then again, the NC Dems have had a pretty poor track record over the last decade or two (John Edwards' cheating on his dying wife, Gov. Mike Easley's conviction post-office, Gov. Bev Perdue's general uselessness...)

One guy to keep an eye on to hopefully break the trend is State Senator Jeff Jackson. Dude has built a very solid online following that extends well beyond his district, and has a great sense of humor. After the Presidential debate, he unveiled his new campaign slogan: "Jeff Jackson - Not A Train Wreck". A *lot* of people would love to see him run for Richard Burr's seat in 2022.

If these cash cards arent somehow tied to individuals, I see a huge problem.

So what's the going street rate for a bottle of oxycontin, a card? Two cards? How about insulin?

I assumed he was inured to it after several months of working with Steve Bannon, who is actually 30,000 flies, cockroaches and centipedes in a trenchcoat.

Moderator needs to start shutting Pence down on the time limits...he's starting to feel out just how long he can keep talking.

EDIT: "She just said Joe Biden is going to raise your taxes on Day 1!"
*Narrator's Voice: She didn't.

DOUBLE-EDIT: Yeah, I'm pulling the ripcord. This isn't a debate, it's just each side spouting their campaign talking points.

Less fireworks, but Pence is already off to being a dick.

"We know a little something about failure in this administration. Let me tell you all about how the Obama administration FAIIIIIILED!"

EDIT: Oh man, Pence is so obviously stalling for time to figure out how to respond to the question about what the public should know about the candidates' health.

DOUBLE-EDIT: Oh, nice pivot on transparency from health to tax returns. That's how you do it -- clearly and quickly answer the question, to leave you plenty of time to go on the attack.

Even though I like hot sauce and am a radical leftist, I don't like sriracha.

Ergo, sriracha is Nazbol.

Sauerkraut on anything is a proud proletarian tradition born of the crushing poverty inflicted by the bourgeois!
*proceeds to open a bag of sauerkraut and eats a fistful, like Marxist Popeye*

Agreed. Like IPAs, Sriracha became the "Mountain Dew" of its' family of food product, adopted by the fratboys and Chads.

But Dijon mustard is what you're going to get on your hamburger if you go to any actual hamburger place instead of s fast food chain...
Exactly the sort of anti-American talk I'd expect from a Communist rich elitist, Mr. Grey Poupon.

Like Trump's "You just lost the Left" thing - completely empty but gives the true-believers something to talk about and be confident in.
Yeah, or the #WalkAway thing, which always felt like an astroturf trying way too hard. Like, Jacob Wohl too hard.

Just as a reminder, FOX News once spent an entire day with multiple talking heads getting apoplectic that Obama ordered Dijon mustard on a hamburger, like some filthy Eurotrash elitist.

Pence has apparently agreed to allow a plexiglass barrier to be erected near him at the debate as long as it understands that he's a very heterosexual, married man and he can ignore how hard and firm that barrier is, its warm, unyielding surface beckoning his touch...

Mother wouldn't let me touch it, and that makes the temptation that much sweeter...
More like Sexiglass, amirite?
