The Republican National Convention begins next week in Wisconsin. In many ways, the battleground state reflects the recent history of the GOP, with Republicans swinging more and more to the right, ending in a full-on embrace of Donald Trump’s MAGA policies. A close observer of this phenomenon is Charlie Sykes, founder of The Bulwark and a respected voice amongst never-Trump Republicans. Sykes joined Walter Isaacson to analyze what cards Republicans might play in the upcoming election, and what strategies Biden might adopt, post-debate.

Mass deportation would be another dog that caught the car moment. The disruption of the construction and agricultural industries due to labor shortages will increase prices. Supply and demand, the demand for goods will remain, but the ability to supply them will be reduced, therefore prices will increases on the fewer goods available. If they were serious about actually dealing responsibly with immigration, they would have passed the bipartisan bill earlier this year, instead of keeping it a campaign issue. Passed the bill AND use the tools in the bill to DO something instead of using it as a wedge issue.

$2.13 an hour, for all tipped "service" workers, for 30 years, says there's no "labor shortage". $7.25 an hour, for the general workers, says there's no "labor shortage". Prices have already spiked, due to the incessant greed accommodated. Industry entitlement to pocket the wage theft from an imported illegal work force glut, is a shortage of DOL and immigration law enforcement. And that entitlement is the dog that caught the car moment. Trying to hide from the labor market disaster they've created, and the repercussions.

"gerrymandering" alone: Democrats with Open Borders and "sanctuary cities", which skew allocation of House of Representative seats (gerrymander the population, expand non-voter count). Republicans with gerrymandering of the district definitions, and via felonizing the typically D demographics and prison location in R districts, which skew the allocation of House of Representative seats.

No, it's not. They know that all the signs point to a GOP victory. Democratic internal polling is now even suggesting that down-ballot candidates might suffer. This is NOT going to get better, and if we truly care about saving democracy from Trump and his fascist MAGA cult, we need to act NOW!

The NPR/Marist poll is ONE poll that shows nationwide results. As Hillary taught us, it's not the national numbers that matter, it's the swing states. And it's never just one poll. It's polling TRENDS. The polling average trends for the last few months have CONSISTENTLY shown Trump ahead of Biden in the swing states, and it's only become WORSE since Ruth Bader Biden's debate debacle. If Biden doesn't step aside soon, while there's still time, get ready for Trump and his fascist MAGA cult to win. It's that simple, and no amount of magical thinking or grasping for straws is going is going to save us!
