  • I’ve heard a lot of that, I’ve also heard that pollsters have overcorrected because of those misses and are now overstating Trump’s numbers.

    I have no idea which is right. And I wouldn’t know where to start. How do you separate reasoned analysis from people saying smart sounding things with lots of numbers because they’re either scared what they’re proposing is true, or because they hope it is?




  • Wasn’t there also the thing where he offered a horse to a masseuse if they’d give him a happy ending? A couple days before the story broke he made some statements supporting Republicans then said “watch the left come up with a story to take me down now that I’m a Republican,” or something like that. All his political shit has been downhill and ever more unhinged since.

    He was always saying side-eye worthy shit, but in a generic rich guy way. His political stuff, before the horse thing, was always progressive-ish. Whether that was what he ready thought, or as the biggest shareholder of an electric car company he knew which side his bread was buttered on, I’m sure I don’t know. But it seems like trying to preempt the horse story was the turning point for his public persona.
