Trump campaign volunteers in New Hampshire are being told it's "no longer a battleground state"

He thought he owned NH six weeks ago, when I whispered in his ear

OK - [bold]now[/bold] I'll clap for 17 minutes!

I just saw that, OP. Awesome news. Harris, Walz and Biden are working hard with events in multiple states on Labor Day.

Trump and Vance took Labor Day off from campaigning - they spent the day at Mar A Largo (according to one news report).

Good, but vote like Kamala is 20 points behind. Don't get lazy, don't be complacent = get out there and vote.

Sorry, meant to say Kamala should campaign like she's 20 points behind.

He must be squarely defeated. You know he’s up the taint of the court and his tongue is already wiggling.

Harris an Walz each have a net-positive approval rating.. for now. When is the last time we saw that for any major party nominee?!

Good! GFY, Traitor Don.

god I hope so but there are SO FUCKING MANY TRUMP signs though

Glenn Youngkin was booed off the stage at the fair in Virginia today.

Battleground? He doesn’t do anything but bitch and name calling. Every critical article fake, every election lost is stolen.

Of course DL falls for this fake story.

Good. The downfall of these invertebrates who decided to sacrifice their dignity to Trump makes me happier than, say, if I heard the same thing about some hardcore MAGA v 1.0.

Pensylvina

As Joan Rivers would say - explain this to me like I was stupid. What's a net-positive approval rating ? Never heard of this - and why is it important ?

Are you dense, R16? It means that in approval polls, their positive numbers are higher than their negative.

The T-Rump campaign DENIES that NH is unwinnable and has FIRED the staffer who said to give up on it.

R17 I guess I am dense. But thank you for explaining it to me.

Why didn’t you thank me for the initial post? …so ungrateful

A lot of this is happening at the grass roots level. I know I’ve plugged this org before but it can’t be plugged enough — a major get out the vote effort in battleground states. Please help them — donate!

If farts had a face, they'd look like r18

Farts? I'd say diarrhea.

R18, that’s great news. He needs to sack every campaign staffer who has a brain.

[quote]Farts? I'd say diarrhea.

I'd say bloody stool.

[quote]In the email, Mountain, a former official with the Massachusetts GOP, said Trump was "sure to lose by an even higher margin" in New Hampshire than in 2016 and 2020, citing "campaign data/research."

This is going to happen in every state he lost in 2020...losing by even bigger margins. His base has shrunk due to Covid deaths and elderly dying off, and independents/moderates are abandoning him.

B..b..but NYT is telling me something else???

For some reason, my U.S. Open coverage switched mid-match last night to a New Hampshire outlet (I’m in Boston), and, my gosh, the ADS. Coming from both Dems and Repubs, nonstop. How do you NHers put up with it?

I’m hoping the Trump mafia abuses and fires many more state volunteers. Hurt people hurt people and they have plenty of volunteer victims as their reign of mongoloid assholism fizzles out.

He's an insurrectionist, according to The Constitution he is forbidden from running for president. Jack Smith to the rescue, please.

Stay out of New England you miserable non-human. No votes for you!

R29, in terms of campaign volunteers, they actually don’t. My understanding is that, in keeping with the lack of Trump campaign resources on the ground, they only have like 18,000 campaign workers nationwide. While Harris/Walz has like 200,000. The Trump campaign closed all the field offices and don’t have the resources to mobilise volunteers. This seems to be why most observers think they plan to win the election in the courts - but let’s be honest, they’ve always been outflanked there as well, if anyone remembers their shit show efforts from 2020. The Democrats are all over this, including recent events in Georgia.

Meanwhile, the chairwoman of the MAGA GOP continues to commit crimes against music. Two months before Election Day.

The sad truth is that the U.S. is actually poised for authoritarian takeover.

Thank God, Trump is such a loser failure of a wannabe authoritarian.

That traitorous piece of shit Josh Hawley is favored to be re-elected in Missouri. I despise the sight of him.

R32 - This tweet was from a month ago. Are you saying it's gotten worse? They have next to no GOTV mechanisms.

"What a difference a few hours and a plane ride makes!

Earlier Monday Kamala Harris busted out a new bizarre urban accent as she spoke with voters in Detroit.

“Ya betta thank a union memba for sick leave! You betta thank a union memba for paid leave! You betta thank a union memba for vacation time!” Kamala Harris shouted.

This is some of the worst pandering we have ever seen from Kamala Harris."

R36, Gateway Pundit is a far-right website.

Watch what many of the higher up Trump people will do if he loses this election. They'll start talking shit about him like crazy. They'll lay complete blame for the loss on him and make it look like if he'd only done what they advised he would have won handily. It'll be delicious.

and r37??? the subject matter still stands...

R36 What’s an ‘urban accent’? And also, what’s a ‘Black job’?

further r37, can you or someone kindly direct me as to where it is explicitly stated that Datalounge is intended uniquely for a left-leaning audience? perhaps you or someone could post a citation (with link) where Datalounge specifically states that only comments from left-leaning posters are welcome or tolerated? thx much in advance...

Oh yeah, let’s love Trump and Babs at the same time? I DON’T THINK SO. The false equivalency types are just here for the politics.

Yeah Jack, this is Faye Dunaway... Look I've raced some of the stuff from the O'Neill interview but I'm not really interested in Terry O'Neill - he's a BIG, BIG LIAR and I'm really not interested in in him and you know all and dilly-dallying and carrying over Mommie Dearest...I don't even want to discuss it in my interview or on this Lloyd-Webber thing: those are NEGATIVES and I notice that you have nothing in about Marlon Brando, you have nothing in about Johnny Depp which I did two films with, I don't expect you to get get him for an interview, but you could put some footage in of the of the Kusturica movie which I was BRILLIANT in and it was not well sold in this country you can talk about the Marlon Brando film that I was wonderful in. All the POSITIVE things along that that period, the Marlon Brando film was going on at the same time that the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY was going on and you all have to put in the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY, you can't put in that I worked with the wonderful Marlon Brando and talk to the director of that movie FOR CHRISTSAKE! And I'm not gonna approve it and I'm really upset now because that uh for two nights now tried to thread through that STUPID interview with a with a man that I will not even waste my time discussing. And and you know who, suffice it to say, stopped working when he married me and pretended to be my manager for a very long time so LET'S NOT EVEN GO THERE! It's very upsetting to me! And then to put my uh our child in JEOPARDY the way he has. So I'm not interested in these NEGATIVE things that you all are putting in there with me in! I don't want Llloys-Webber in, I'd like you to cut him out, and I'd like you to really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest, I'm not gonna talk about it, maybe one thing I'm gonna say about it and THAT'S ALL. It's just like uh you know an obsession, why can't you be obsessed about POSITIVE THINGS?! About Marlon Brando? About the Kusturica movie that was THE HIT OF ALL THE EUROPE AND CANNES? About uh, the film I did with Brando and talk to that, YOU KNOW?!

JD Vance should talk less and smile more. I'm sure that whenever he opens his mouth, the GOP loses half of a percentage point.

r41 obvious troll is obvious.

R45 I believe the troll among us is R43

Oh, the DL has more than enough trolls to go around.

Is there any scenario where Trump knows he can't win and flees to Venezuela citing fear for his life or that our country has been taken over by commies. He could escape punishment and still play golf with the thugs there. He did say that if he lost he and his family would go to Venezuela. Maybe he should just go now and truly and completely fuck the Republican Party.

Meanwhile, on the other side:

I have not seen NH listed as a battleground state this election cycle. It's been blue leaning.

I wouldn't put too much stock in this development. It would be better if they decided to do the same in AZ, NV, GA, NC, PA, WI, or MI (pick two--PA and one other).

R48, I've always assumed that if Trump loses he'll announce the Trump Tower Moscow is back on and that it's such an important project he's going to Russia to personally supervise it.

I don't think Trump is going to flee. I don't even think he is motivated by a fear of prison. (And let's be realistic, please: he is NEVER going to prison.) He has gotten away with shit his entire life, and has no expectation that, at 78, things will suddenly be any different for him.

People who think he is going to flee, or that he fears prison, are considering Trump's situation from a normal, psychologically sound perspective. Trump is not normal and far from psychologically sound. He perceives the world and his place in it fundamentally differently than you or me.

R50, you say that because you are still caught up in “reality.” Logically, Trump shouldn’t have held out much hope for NH. Trump should have done what the staffer recommended and redirected whatever money and people he had to Pennsylvania. The fact that the message was leaked to the press, and that Trump announced that he had the staffer dismissed, is just further proof that the campaign is a mess.

For NYT, every state is a "battleground" one. And that includes Massachusetts, New York, and California.

Sadly central and northern NH are TRUMPTARD territory. Like endless signs- even homemade ones... However, the population density there is non existent.

Still way too many signs for Trump in southern NH and here in the seacoast, but I have faith in my boring state.

But fuck, I would rather take Pennsylvania and have NH go full red state-

It's not over until it's over.

And don't discount someone doing something stupid that calls into question the validity of results in various states that allows them to use the Supreme Court - hanging chads anyone - to steal the election.

Sure, prioritize resources, but three months is a long time and vigilence is still required.

Trump would never flee to Russia. I'm betting he's already had talks with that fat fuck beige savage Maduro in Venezuela about getting set up luxuriously down there if the time comes he's in fear of imprisonment.

If Trump flees the country and is a fugitive from justice (at least for his felonies in NY), can his assets be seized or frozen? I'm sure he has ample funds in overseas accounts, but would he risk his real estate empire?

[quote]Trump would never flee to Russia. I'm betting he's already had talks with that fat fuck beige savage Maduro in Venezuela about getting set up luxuriously down there if the time comes he's in fear of imprisonment.

If he flees the US, would he still be entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection accorded to all former presidents?

New Hampshire likely to go to Harris.

Why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

[quote]He has gotten away with shit his entire life, and has no expectation that, at 78, things will suddenly be any different for him.

While no one can argue that he has, in fact, gotten away with shit his entire life, that is coming to an abrupt end between the 34 convictions he's already faced, 58 on the horizon, and once the election is over (assuming Kamala wins, of course, which is by no means assured and we must fight like she's down by 10) you'll see a totally different Donold. Without the powers of the presidency, Dotard is fucked, royally so. He announced his campaign to avert prosecution, which didn't work. The cases have progressed despite the courts and The Court being corrupted; just look at the fact that Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment complete with a whole new grand jury, and you can see that the legal challenges he faces are not going away.

However, I disagree with the idea that he won't flee. He's been courting dictators and oligarchs for years, owes most of them money, and can simply tell them if he's in prison they'll never see another dime from him. I don't think he'll flee to Russia but instead try for Dubai, Venezuela, or even Hungary (although I don't think the Slovenian whore will accompany him to any Eastern block country; she sold everything she could to escape from one). I think he's going to try to set up an "administration in exile" operation, continuing to meddle in American politics and foreign affairs for as long as he can. Grifters gotta grift, after all.

You are astute, r53. That's indeed my biggest stumbling block when it comes to politics. I only understand how things are on paper or in principle! I don't have the diabolical imagination to be an operator.

I should learn the lesson that you never hit Post twice. Is there a Postman Always Rings Twice joke in there?

Anyway, I agree that it's not over till it's over. In fact, I don't have a great feeling about the election at this point. The electoral vote situation is ridiculously dicey and will remain so through election night and the subsequent days of counting unless we blow the Republicans out of the water.

R64, it probably won’t give you any comfort, but I’m a psychic and got my “read” on this election back in March. Democrats will win.

They will also pick up the Electoral College votes of a state that is on nobody’s radar at the moment. My prediction has remained unchanged since March even during the most doom-and-gloom post-debate period this summer.

I correctly predicted Biden’s win in 2020 and was off by one electoral vote.

R65- I love you..

I actually just unsubscribed from Meidas Touch and that Brian Andrew Cohen dude (whatever the fuck his name is- I hate guys with 3 names) Headline after headline that would make anyone think Kamala has it in the bag. Like 10 click bait headlines/videos a day .. I think this shit is damaging at worst and will result in near suicidal disappointment at best.

But I will take a psychic's vibes any day. I don't think these are potentially damaging or will make lazy folks not vote at all-

I pray you are right!!!

I wonder if the state you are vibing on is Florida... Texas-- I would say impossible-

[QUOTE]But I will take a psychic's vibes any day.

[QUOTE]I pray you are right!!!

It's truly a "big tent" when self-congratulatory clairvoyants and the pious join forces.

Ah fuck off R67.

I don't always believe in psychics, so its more "comforting" but I don't count on it...

Whereas these Youtubes act like there is all of this concrete data ASSURING Kamala has this in the bag. That is the shit that bothers me.

Whatever gets you through the night...

R67 is a stealth MAGAt. The quotes around big tent is a tell.

R67 here. Put me on ignore then, please.

Here's Ivanka's best pal LeGarde discreetly rolling her eyes at Ivanka's comment in front of Teresa May and embarrassing her in front of Justin Trudeau, who she had recently eye-fucked at the very same conference.

Yes, Le Garde and Ivanka's close female bonds and "buddyhood" are easily apparent in their "secret girlfriend" body language and facial expressions in this clip!

[quote] If he flees the US, would he still be entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection accorded to all former presidents?

I am no expert but I will go out on a limb and say if he flees prosecution or imprisonment, to a foreign country, there is no damn way the US is going to provide him with Secret Service protection, and I doubt they would even continue his pension of $226,300.00/year. If his secret service detail was continued while he was on the lam it would likely be their job to bring his fat ass back to the US.

[QUOTE][R67] is a stealth MAGAt. The quotes around big tent is a tell.

Goddamn! The quotation marks gave you bad vibes? Unsurprisingly, our power(s) have failed you.

Are you the psychic or the prayerful one? In either case, you seem to think your celestially-provided powers of clairvoyance tell you more about me than my DL history, easily perused if you put me on ignore.

^ "your power(s)" Alas, since I don't have "special gifts," my human thumb failed me!

[quote]They will also pick up the Electoral College votes of a state that is on nobody’s radar at the moment.

PLEASE let it be Ohio.

I’ll hope for Ohio, too, R75. Ohio has a special place in my heart when it comes to national politics.

My mom and dad always become TV junkies when the two major parties held their conventions, so over and over again as a kid, when it was time to take floor votes, I would hear the chairman of the Ohio delegation slowly intone, “Ohio passes,” because, we guessed, Ohio was big and had more votes to count than the others.

With the result that even to this day it seems to me that Ohio votes are determiners of the fate of the nation.

I have predicted every election correct since Reagan over Carter in 1980 with the exception of Bush/Gore, but there it's hard to say who really won although history implies that Gore would have won if he had the same kind of legal representation in Florida that Bush had.

Unless something off the charts happens between now and election day, Harris will win. The seven swing states will remain close but Harris will pick up Arizona and North Carolina. She won't need PA, which is the one she's most likely to lose.

And like someone else said, there may be a surprise in one of the overlooked states. Maybe Alaska. Not likely, but possible.

Can someone explain to me why Kamala is likely to lose PA? That seems unlikely, especially considering how angry women are about abortion.

Pensylvina is tired of communism!

Has that guy who predicts elections based on keys instead of polls given his prediction yet? He's always right.

R81, Allan Lichtman is making his announcement in the next week.

Trump looks like a waxwork in r82

[quote]Can someone explain to me why Kamala is likely to lose PA?

There is no explanation. She’s unlikely to lose PA.

I wonder if Maine will defy the current prediction at 270towin-dot-com and give all its votes to the Dems, including the 2nd District (rural areas), which went red in 2020. and 2016. It could end up making a difference.

I was going to post about being so sick of nonstop NH political ads (I'm in Massachusetts) in the Underwhelm thread but this seems a better spot

If Trump flees to Russia, Putin will have him thrown out a window.

If he goes to Saudi Arabia, they will kill him with a small dull hacksaw.

Face it - if he is no longer President or a candidate, he is of no worth to them. He has likely sold all the information he could. He's just a loose cannon who is unable to keep his fucking face-cunt shut. He'll start demanding special treatment and blabbing to the press and...goodnight sweet prince.

In the words of that lady, ain't nobody got time for that.

[quote]I have predicted every election correct since Reagan over Carter

Ah, R77 -- but have you predicted them [italic]correctly?[/italic]

[QUOTE] He has likely sold all the information he could.

They really need to dig up Ivana’s grave. I think he’s keeping one last big one in there.

His group has probably stacked a few inconvenient bodies underneath - it’s not like she’s going anywhere.

The Trump campaign has essentially abandoned Minnesota and Virginia as well. Before Harris was nominated, Trump thought that he might have a shot at those states, but no more.

Trump will claim the election was stolen, because Biden was the nominee he was running against, until Harris "stole" it.
