Did you see my man Kunce take on Hawley at the state fair today.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Yes! He went right at him on why he doesn’t support working people. Perfect!

Hey everyone

It is interesting. Hawley is on top by 9 percentage points per the external polls. Why would Hawley do this? There is rumor that the internal polls are neck in neck.

I saw that Frank Luntz noted that he was trying to run a focus group for young voters but couldn’t find undecided women, they’ve made up their minds already! Blue Tsunami is a real possibility and who knows which tough races we could win?

Murph if Hawely’s internals are saying they are neck-neck doesn’t that mean has problems?
twilson117

Hawley is obnoxious to the nth degree and he is bold as brass. He DOES NOT have a residence in Mo. He uses his sisters home in the Ozark as his mailing address and registration address. He actually lives in Virginia. The thing is this is perfectly legal.
MurphTheSurf3

TW….indeed, if they are neck and neck Hawley would be in serious trouble….but how does one accurately gauge this.
MurphTheSurf3

Murph it may be legal but in my book totally unethical. How do the people feel about it?

TW…..most push back with it is not true, more lib lies.

Murph – It would be incredible if the combo of Hawley being such a disliked weasel and Kamala whipping up new voters and enthused Dems, especially women, could push Kunce over the top.

Murph – I think there will be a national reckoning for the ignorance, delusions, and hatred in the Party of Trump in Nov but they will still have their Red States to destroy their own lives and unfortunately, good people in their states.

Hawley challenged Kunce to debate him AT THE STATE FAIR in a tent with no moderator. Kunce offered to debate him up to five times but with moderating. He even agreed to a debate hosted by Fox. Hawley said Nope.

A side note, there was a report that George Santos is going to take a plea deal on Monday and plead guilty. They have him dead to rights, he really has to. But the sentence better be strong enough.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad….we have known from the start how uphill the battle was. So, we are fighting the good fight but it is a long shot.

Murph – Doesn’t everyone know by now that Hawley runs away from everything?

Ad….”know”….in Mo. “knowing” is a source of suspicion

Murph does Hawley have office in MO?
twilson117
an hour ago
Murph – Yes, I saw Hawley make his cowardly debate offer, which wasn’t real anyway, there would be no moderator and of course, no one but the people there watching. Hawley would just run away and declare victory anyway.
AdLiban hour ago
TW- he has several…..
MurphTheSurf3

Murph is he ever at them?
twilson117
an hour ago
TW…I would not know…..I have not heard of him holding an open house as some senators do.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Murph – As I mentioned, there will be a national reckoning for all these nutjob MAGAs in Nov but locally, they will continue their ignorant ways. Wait until there’s a recession, I think many Repub states will collapse to one degree or another because they’re slaves to these ignorant know-nothings.
AdLiban hour ago
Murph what does that say about a senator who won’t even live in the state he is suppose to represent. To me it says he doesn’t give a damn about the people I hope your guy is saying thal loud and clear.
twilson117
an hour ago
Murph – Hawley probably has held an open house in VA and couldn’t understand why no one from MO came.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad…..I agree…..

TW….Hawley is a bold faced liar who wallows in hypocrisy.
MurphTheSurf3

So on a scale of 1-10, how panicked do you think Trump is right now?
AdLiban hour ago
Murph that shows in everything he does.But it’s going to take the people to wake up and see that. My goodness the man who is suppose to represent them and their interest can’t even live in the state he represents what an a-hole.

We did get an abortion amendment on the ballot……lots of work but the right to choose is going to the people for their yea or nay.

Surprisingly, the NYT had an article today showing the many paths Kamala has to winning the Electoral College and it was not slanted, it represented that she is leading in all the states she needs to win. All the blue states and the three Rust Belt states along with the Dem district in NE and she’s got 270. She’s ahead in all those states now and will only grow her lead after the DNC. AZ, NV, GA, and NC would all be icing on the cake though I really hope she wins NC because it’s an early death blow to Trump.
AdLib43 minutes ago
Murph – The abortion bill is another helpful thing for Kunce, could bring out people who don’t usually vote and will vote for him too.
AdLib42 minutes ago

Ad…..I was only tangentially involved in the amendment drive…it was led, rightfully, by men but I do hope that it brings out folks who will associate the amendment with Kunce and vote for him.
MurphTheSurf3
40 minutes ago
I think Trump is freaked out big time. He knows all polls are showing Kamala ahead and gaining bigger leads, he knows the DNC will give her a bump and his sentencing on Sept 18 will hurt him more with undecided voters. Mary Trump said his biggest fear would be going to prison and he sees that train coming down the tracks. His desperation in bringing on the weirdos from his 2016 screams of his panic. As if their return will somehow make 2024 become 2016 again. Nope.

What do the latest MO polls show in Kunce’s race?
AdLib39 minutes ago
Ad….5 to 8 percent behind
MurphTheSurf3

Your assessment of Trump rings true to me.
MurphTheSurf3
38 minutes ago
That’s a serious margin but let’s keep in mond Dems have been overperforming polls for the past 8 years straight and right now no one knows for sure how big the new young voter surge and activated Dems, women, and young people who may not vote regularly and definitely wouldn’t show up in polling since polling this year is based on turnout in 2020.larly

Dem Stein in NC looks to knock off Magat Robinson
MurphTheSurf3
36 minutes ago
Ad….those are the groups we are going after hard right now.
MurphTheSurf3
35 minutes ago
Murph – Robinson is behind by like 10%! Another element is the discouragement factor for MAGAs. If they see Trump is bound to lose, Robinson is bound to lose, etc., many MAGAs may just not bother to vote and the margin for Dems could be even higher than their previous overperformance.
AdLib34 minutes ago
Do you think that if the polls showed Trump down by 8-10 points nationally, that MAGAs in MO may just skip voting for him and Hawley?
AdLib33 minutes ago
Ad……there are hardly any signs or flags supporting Trump. I know of three “rallies” organized by the GOP here that did not even get off the ground….canceled for lack of interest.
MurphTheSurf3
33 minutes ago
Just as Harris is animating Dems, I suspect that Trump might will bog them down.
MurphTheSurf3
32 minutes ago
Very encouraging news! I don’t think Kunce or any Dem in a tough race should see their races as out of reach. The lack of enthusiasm in MAGAs and the electric enthusiasm in Dems, women, actually, voters of all kind due to Kamala, could give Dems once-in-a-lifetime victories across the country.
AdLib31 minutes ago
Ad,,,,all of that would be grand….Did you see Biden’s appearance on stage with Kamala…..wonderful….”Thank You Joe” shouted by thousands. -Heart warming.

Tester is up 5% in MT and Brown in OH is up several points. We may not only keep all Dem seats in the Senate, we may very well win seats away from Repubs.

Victories in the House and Senate would put SCOTUS reform within reach.
MurphTheSurf3

Yes, loved that! He’s supposed to be the headline speaker at the DNC on Monday. Then I think Hillary, Obama, then Bill on each following night. I could do without Bill Clinton but the real headliners on the final night will be Kamala and Tim.

Having all the living presidents, and one who should have won speaking is bound to elevate the energy.

Did you see SCOTUS just struck down Title IX rules to protect transgender students? This SCOTUS has burned so many bridges with so many demographics of people, I think a majority of Americans will strongly support SCOTUS enlargement and reforms to save the court and our democracy if Dems run the table. And there’s no argument left to save the filibuster.

It will stand in stark contrast to NO Repub presidents speaking at the RNC to support Trump.

Welcome back, TW. Sorry but I ate all your fries while you were gone. They’d have been cold anyway.
AdLib24 minutes ago
Hey! I just got a text from one of our campaign workers….her father, a Marine, at supper tonight announced that no one who ever served in uniform should support Trump and he is going to work with fellow vets to be sure they understand what a weasel he really is. This is a huge change of position.

twilson117
22 minutes ago
Murph – That’s fantastic news! Trump may lie about his calling the military “suckers and losers” but his speech dissing them for their medal of honors and instead celebrating that nasty old lady Adelson over them is really turning a lot of vets and soldiers angrily away from Trump. I’m telling you, this won’t be a conventional election, the possibility of a black swan election, a Blue Tsunami election due to all these factors, is possible.

“Black Swan election” Say more please
MurphTheSurf3
21 minutes ago
This could be a unique and massive coalition voting for Kamala and Dems across the country. Women, young people, moderate Repubs, vets and military, pro-choice people, pro gun safety people, pro hope and change people…it could be a one-sided election like we haven’t seen in a very long time.
AdLib19 minutes ago
Murph: “The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. The term is based on a Latin expression which presumed that black swans did not exist. “

Kamala will continue her rise over Trump with the DNC, Trump continues bumbling downward with each “press conference”, criminal sentencing, and decision on his half billion judgement. The more desperate Trump gets to fight against Kamala’s rise, the more he looks old, deranged, and a loser. I can think of nothing at this moment that could change the dynamics of this race to favor Trump. Can either of you?
AdLib15 minutes ago
Murph this is a dem state so things will be okay. Although our new gov seems to be having some issues, but I haven’t been paying attention to local events. But both our Sen I belive will be fine MA is pretty solid blue

Murph that caught Putin flat footed for sure
twilson117
12 minutes ago
Trump exudes desperation right now. He’s only having one or two campaign events per week and his last venue held only 2,500 max and he didn’t fill it. The crowds are abandoning him, he knows it and his accusation that Kamala’s crowds are AI looked so desperate and like the words of a loser, he actually went back on that claim! Trump is nosediving and the public is recognizing that. He thought Biden was doomed, know the old shoe is on the other old foot.
AdLib11 minutes ago
TW…..I am astonished that Putin’s border was so weakly defended…..largely by young recruits, poorly prepared and badly armed.
MurphTheSurf3

Murph – I am delighted to see Ukraine use a clever offensive strategy to undermine Russia’s aggression on them. SO happy about that and it is not impossible to imagine them taking back Crimea in the near future as they push their offensive into Russia.
AdLib10 minutes ago
TW….I agree that this is pushing the Uk. forces and I wonder if it can be sustained.
MurphTheSurf3

Ad -doesn’t Russia have a deep enough bench to put more and more into the war?
MurphTheSurf3
8 minutes ago
Murph – Putin’s army is decimated, they have been rounding up criminals, immigrants, poor people, and also all kinds of regular Russians to be fodder for the war. They’re poorly or untrained and I saw how many are surrendering to the Ukrainians now in their offensive. Russia’s military has been decimated, half of their military personnel have been killed. Their power only comes from rockets and Iranian drones. If this new push by Ukraine builds, Putin could have a revolt on his hands.

Ad….excellent summary….so his manpower bench is very shallow even if his hardware bench is well provisioned it is “boots on the ground” are what takes territory and holds it.
MurphTheSurf3
5 minutes ago
Murph – I think Putin has lost half of his army. The “soldiers” he’s throwing into the war aren’t trained and don’t know what they’re doing. They have little or no supplies, they’re starving and desperate and now, they’re surrendering rather than be killed. This could really snowball and Russia’s military could be spread too thin and collapse.
AdLib4 minutes ago

MurphTheSurf3

Right Murph. Putin’s army is halved and weak, he only stays on the offensive in certain areas and with missiles and drones. Faced with a strategic attack such as Ukraine launched, Putin is weak and helpless to defend his own country. You know he’s shaken when he or his puppets threaten nuclear weapons.
