Per @RealSKeshel 1) The registration shifts in Arizona are so significant as to be mind blowing: it is across the board, in every single county.
2) All 15 counties now have more Rs than in 2020, both actually and proportionally.
@RealSKeshel 3) Two counties flipped completely from D to R: Navajo & Yuma
4) Even deep blue Pima shifted to the right.
5) Navajo, Mohave, and Yavapai all shifted about 6% to the right.
7) Maricopa alone added 51,000 NET new Rs
@RealSKeshel 8) Pinal, already a red county, saw 14,000 MORE Rs sign up.
9) Coconino, a county with a lot of Native Americans, saw a D LOSS of 5500 and an R+4 shift.
10) Yuma, a Hispanic heavy country, saw a shift of 3.4% with 4,600 Ds leaving.
@RealSKeshel 11) At this rate, by election day, AZ will be R+7.
12) The question is, why are polls even close? A couple of hypotheses:
*Richard Baris thinks party registration follows the polls, not leads. I disagree, because these #s are well outside of current polling margins.
@RealSKeshel *Most other pollsters, I think, simply haven't paid attention to these massive shifts. They are still going by 2022, when Kari Lake was sunk by 100,000 McTurdites (who now are swamped).
13) AZ has both machine AND PAPER backup making machine cheating almost impossible.
@RealSKeshel 14) (The 2020 cheat was done almost entirely by the "mules," with the absentee/early ballots sent over a four month period. They have less than 30 days this time, plus Rs are "ballot harvesting."
15) In short, the new numbers suggest both the McTurdites & fraud have been swamped
@RealSKeshel 16) LARGE numbers of voters are shifting in overwhelmingly Indian and Hispanic counties, suggesting President Trump is indeed getting a lot of those voters.
17) In sum, I'm not at all concerned about AZ on election say, but I think DemoKKKrats will be shocked at the margin.

1) Listening to Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American," it prompted me to think about American national "anthems." From "God Bless America," to "This Land is Your Land," to " America the Beautiful" to "Proud to be an American," these songs have something in common . . .
1) contd . . . that is, besides patriotism: they all celebrate America's landscape.
2) In this, we are pretty much unique in the world.
3) I asked a European History expert friend about this phenomena, and he agreed. Most foreign patriotic songs are strictly political.
4) "Le Marseillaise" for example. I guess you might say "Rule Brittania," which refers to overseas conquest, might somewhat be an exception.
5) But in few other national songs do you have the conjunction of geography with national identity as with American patriotism.
1) The Trump strategies in this campaign have been brutally effective.
2) Most recently, J.D. Vance refused to debate Kampuchea Harris because "we don't know who the DemoKKKrat nominee is!"
3) This is obviously true, but more important it short-circuited Rutabaga's strat:
3) contd. . . Rutabaga's team thought they could buy time & bolster the campaign if Harris had a good debate against Vance. (Forget for a moment that the Cackling One was highly unlikely to have a good showing at all).
4) Anyway, Rutabaga thought he could do 2 things.
5) First, he could dampen down some of the criticism of the ticket---"See, all good. We're in good shape." Second, he could buy another week until the DNC has its early nomination, which they said THEY WILL HAVE. (They said so again yesterday) hotair.com/david-strom/20…
1) Details of the Botoxic/Rutabaga phone call have leaked. They are VERY telling.
2) Botoxic supposedly gave him "data" that he would lose.
3) This is VERY IMPORTANT: It tells you they know they CANNOT STEAL IT. If they could, she wouldn't have made that call!
4) Contrary to Hoax Media reports---remember, this whole thing is a Hoax Media-led coup attempt on Rutabaga---that Biden was more willing to consider stepping down, he got in a yelling match with Botoxic and said her "data" was wrong.
5) Next important data point: She demanded she talk to someone else and told him, the President, to "get off the phone." Who took over? Obama?
NO. Mike Donilon, one member of the "Four-headed hydra" RUNNING THE COUNTRY (Jilly, Hunter, and Andrew . . .. forget his name, but . . .
1) The handwringing McClellans are out, esp. after the FR/BR elections.
2) Systems matter, and POLICIES matter.
3) France was a victim of the first. They have a goofball multi-election system combined with a proportional representation structure . . .
3) contd . . . (the same that led to Hitler in Weimar Germany). Under this structure, no one is pushed to the middle to a definitive yes/no on any candidate or party. Instead, they have enclave parties that must make coalitions to "govern."
4) Le Pen never had more than 35%.
5) But the other two parties---Macaroni's party and the socialists---never had close to 50% either.
6) So Macaroni's delegates abruptly resigned, allowing the socialists to fill their seats, defeating Le Pen about 2:1.
3) They didn't like LBJ but left him alone, except for some anti-war leakers.
4) But they absolutely hated Nixon. He hated them. They succeeded in the first ever "journalists' coup" in American history to get him out (with help from the CIA).
5) They really didn't like Reagan, but could find nothing on him until after 1986 and Iran-Contra. Even then, there was no smoking gun in the docs, and they couldn't concoct one.
6) After acting patriotic for a couple of years, they deeply damaged W's presidency with Abu Grahib
Things go file away: 1) It is nearly impossible for Rutabaga to resign as the NOMINEE but remain PRESIDENT. If he is too senile for one---in the public mind---he is too senile for the other. 2) If VP Harris became Acting President upon a Rutabaga resignation, she does NOT . . .
2) contd . . . Constitutionally have to name a veep for the remainder of the term. John Tyler didn't in 1841 and left the vice presidency empty for three years. Mike Johnson would be next in the line of succession.
3) This would be the best fire insurance ever for Harris.
4) Even if all that happens, and she actually appoints someone, both the senate and the house must approve. Doubtful the house will approve Witless Protection or Newsome or ANYONE who would benefit a D presidential ticket.
