Interesting to watch the convolutions of the Republican party...the fact is, the bulk of the party (not all, of course) was always about xenophobia, racism and misogyny..but they had covered it with a veneer of high-sounding theory..free markets, small government..now Trump has ripped off the veneer..he has shown everyone what is under the mask. And the poor Republicans don't know where to hide. The party may soon collapse, at this rate..I have been predicting the rise of a centrist third party, with folks like Clinton (who was closer to a moderate Republican than to Democrats) and Cheney..leaving behind a more liberal Democratic party and the rump of the Republican party ..

There is no way the GOP collapses. They have a very big membership of people in the South and midwest. They have Texas and Florida.
And they will have the SCOTUS in their pocket for at least 20 more years. That should be enough.

Trump: ‘There will be no third debate’

By Maegan Vazquez

Former president Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in a second debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, his latest flip-flop after having called for three debates with Harris at one point.

Trump — who also debated Joe Biden in June before the president ended his reelection bid — wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that Harris’s desire for a second debate was akin to that of a losing prizefighter demanding a rematch.

“KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD,” Trump continued. “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”

The Harris campaign announced after Tuesday night’s debate that it wanted another debate round against Trump. But some Trump allies had conceded privately Wednesday that he performed poorly and were deliberating over whether a rematch would help or hurt him.

Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night that he thought he did well during the debate, but that he “would have to think about” whether he wanted to participate in another round against Harris. Trump later added that he would “maybe” participate in another debate “if it was on a fair network.”

Fox News had extended invitations to the Harris and Trump campaigns for an additional debate in October.

The former president declined to participate in any Republican presidential primary debates this election cycle.

Ok. Lots of posting about packed stadia for Kamala, empty ones for Tiny.
Yet, they are tied in all polls.
So, what is happening?
I say that the Trump voters are unmovable. They are at home, and will vote for him regardless of anything. He can eat a sandwich in public and they will still vote for him.
400,000 people, in a few gerrymandered counties in a couple of states, will decide this election.

That's kind of true, but then again pretty much any Republican candidate would get 45%. It's been that finely balanced for decades now.

The summary doesn't go deep enough. If you can take the few minutes to listen to everything John R Stevens says about his hometown of Springfield, Ohio.
