One adviser to major Democratic Party donors said they were texting from a meeting of donors in Atlanta on Thursday night, some writing “wtf.”

“Our only hope is that he bows out, we have a brokered convention, or dies,” the donor adviser said. “Otherwise we are fucking dead.”

Oof.

The closest thing we'll get to that is in the polls over the next few days, and the moving forward to the election.

But even then, the numbers don't have to move very much in order to make a difference. GA has 11 million people, and Biden won there last time by only 11k votes. Do you think a GA poll (much less a national poll) would pick up 11k people there changing their votes, or 22k people deciding to not vote at all (or vote for the brain worm guy instead)? That can all happen in the margins, outside of any ability for the rest of us to detect it.

No, but, again, I also have my doubts that anyone is going to change their votes because of this. Just like in 2020, this is much more of a Trump vs. Not Trump election than anything else. Who is going to be won over to Trump by this? He still ranted and raved like a crazy person based on what I'm reading.

His ideas and concepts were crazy, but his delivery really hasn't changed much since we first saw him in debates in 2016. Biden's clearly has. If you were living under a rock and didn't already know everything you needed to about these two men, you never would have guessed that only three years separated them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Jordan pulled his contempt Citation for the AG after this. They don't need the audio of the Special Counsel investigation to put in attack ads anymore.

I didn't hear any ideas or concepts. It was the same Trump ranting that he's the best and Biden is the worst. The mods kept asking him if he wanted to answer the questions.
