Sure, but Whitmer still won overall with Arab-American and Muslim voters. That is looking less likely this time. I don't doubt that social issues cost us some votes due to many Muslims conservative religious views. But when abortion was on the ballot in Michigan, Whitmer still won overall with Arab-Americans and Muslims.

I saw your typo so I fixed it. Thanks to Bubba's deregulation with the Telecommunications Act of 1996, we ended up with the rise of right wing hate media and talk radio. The problems of Trump started waaaaay before he came onto the political scene. From Reagan to Bubba to Newt Gingrich, the era of deregulation has ruined this country and driven the politics of it.

Maybe. Anecdotally, I know three people who were previously Bernie Sanders "progressives" who are now all in for Trump. And it's not about all Biden voters switching to Trump. It's about them staying home or voting third party for Jill Stein or Cornell West. I think there are also people who are frustrated over inflation and the border who may have switched back as well. Even if inflation has been coming down for sometime, many voters still feel prices are high on this because they expect deflation, where prices go back to where they were before. Here in Michigan we have the obvious problem with Arab-American and Muslim voters angry over the war in Gaza where we could lose previous Biden support.

Josh Gordon was suspended for having inhaled a plant-based substance. Jamo should be suspended for having a gun without permit to carry it. A gun is worse than a joint. And no, this isn't a ridiculous comment to make either. The NFL made it clear that players should get the death penalty over smoking pot and that few sins are worse than smoking a joint. So if that's how the league is going to treat pot, it better take a gun charge far for seriously.

Do you know what kind of numbers Biden pulled in this district last time?

Harris or Trump wins the state if this 8th Congressional District looks like this? I presume you mean Harris wins PA and not Trump?

They talk all the time about cultural and locker room fits on this team. I just don't think Jamo is it. If this gun charge is legit he could be in legal trouble, let alone trouble with the league.

JESUS ****ING CHRIST with this guy.

This is largely how I feel as well. I think she'll win by a hair with the blue wall states and maybe one other. I think the popular vote will be tighter as well.

No it's right, but I'd like to have more of a cushion (no pun) than that incase a state, like Pennsylvania, doesn't break our way.

This is from that large CES poll that was shared earlier. These are the swing state numbers. Those Georgia and Arizona numbers don't look that strong for Harris.

Are these national exit polling numbers from all 50 states or just Texas? I assume they are all national numbers. And if they are national numbers and not localized to any one swing state, can we make much of a determination off that? If Trump is losing badly in California at a higher than expected average, but ahead in Georgia or Arizona, could the higher averages in one state be skewing these numbers. I'm such a glass half empty person.

In what way do you feel it is telling? I take this to mean that Harris has significantly closed the gap on the economic issues of the campaign but has failed to do so on immigration and the border. So they are looking at that as their best issue and doubling down on it, probably in the same way the Harris campaign is doubling down on abortion.

From The Herd with Colin Cowherd show . . . The Athletic's Dianna Russini joined "The Herd With Colin Cowherd" late last week and was asked about Detroit's plans at defensive end. She started by mentioning a particular player who lands as a trade target. "Look, in terms of Detroit, I do think they're going to make calls. I do. I think they're going to call the Bengals, maybe see if Trey Hendrickson is a possibility for them. For right now, I think they're patching it up just to get through this (Minnesota Vikings) game. But I do expect them to pick up the phone. I don't think Haason Reddick is someone that fits what they're about and what they want to do."

For the record, I'd be fine with Za'Darius Smith and think we could get him for a mid/late round pick. That said, Hendrickson has been and is the guy I want most. I think you're getting a high end talent, with a high motor, good football instincts, and a love for the game. A guy who has played with this coaching staff in New Orleans and someone there familiar with. A guy who is a perfect scheme fit to replace Hutch this season. A guy who played alongside Reader and has familiarity with him from their time with the Bengals. Best of all though, given that he'll turn 30 this year, I think he provides us with the best trade value. With guys like Crosby or Garrett you're likely surrendering multiple first round picks. With Hendrickson, I can't imagine having to give up more than next year's first rounder. Maybe you have to throw in an extra mid or late round pick in the deal to Cincinnati, but I'd doubt much more than that. Hendrickson being 30 this season is a big plus in this deal for as getting the best value out of it. He's a "superstar" player, easily capable of being a #1 DE/Edge guy and being our primary pass rusher off the end. And if you can get him a new contract to keep him for the next 2-3 years, you could have far and away the best D-Line in the league with Hutch, Hendrickson, McNeil, Reader, and Levi. Trey Hendrickson is the new Chase Young. Although unlike Chase, Hendrickson has been highly productive throughout most of his career. He isn't just potential and what could be, he has the proven stat line to back it up.

It's just a neverending steam of racism and bigotry from these Trump surrogates.

Would you be tempted to trade for a tackle at the deadline?

There's another certain singer, from the Detroit area, not named Eminem, whose also a Dem. You can find him down on mainstreet.

Sheila is a Democrat I know that based on available voting data.

I don't what what Campbell's politics are or are not. However, we do know that Calvin is a Democrat. She should do an ad featuring Calvin Johnson and target it towards white men and black men. It should air next Sunday during the Lions game and be targeted online towards these demographics.

Hell of an ad! The Harris team has great local ads in Detroit, Philly, and Pittsburgh.

Why would they defect now though? We've know for the last 10 years Trump is all of a bigot, racist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, misogynist, illiberal, undemocratic, authoritarian, fascist-adjacent (at minimum). If they were going to defect, wouldn't they have had every opportunity to do so in 2020 during that election? I can't help but wonder if Democrats have squeezed all the votes out of disaffected Republicans possible. Maybe not, I'd like to think we haven't.

The Bengals are 3-5. They are not making the playoffs after losing yesterday. Trey Hendrickson played with this coaching staff, both Campbell and Glenn in New Orleans. Trey Hendrickson also costs less than Crosby given his age. I really hope they're calling on Trey Hendrickson.
