Nate Silver's 538 has polling indicating post-debate changes in polling position. Unsurprisingly, Biden lost support and Harris gained it. However, more Biden supporters moved to other candidates than to Harris.
Personally, I was delighted to see Kristen Gillibrand's net favorable rating decline, although probably not by a statistically significant margin. Boo 'er off!

Rick Wilson is a political consultant who has worked for several GOP candidates. He went nuts when Trump ran and got the nomination. I mean REALLY nuts.
I think he appears on CNN from timei to time, although I wouldn't know for sure since I never see that channel.

A study of American Colonial history will reveal that Benjamin Franklin went to England as a representative of the Colonies.
The English officials asked how it was the Colonies managed to collect enough taxes to build poor houses, and how they were able to handle the great burden of caring for the poor. Franklin's reply was most revealing: "We have no poor houses in the Colonies, and if we had, we would have no one to put in them, as in the Colonies there is not a single unemployed man, no poor, and no vagabonds."
Think long and hard about this. In the American colonies before the American Revolution, there was "not a single unemployed man, no poor, and no vagabonds." -- no one on Welfare, no one on Social Security, no homeless, no income tax, no alphabet agencies, No IRS, BATF, FBI, DEA, CIA, HEW, OSHA, SBA, and on and on and on to provide for the "general welfare" of our villages, towns, cities, and states. How did Benjamin Franklin explain this to the British officials of his day?
How would he explain it to today's lawyers, judges, politicians and other government officials? "It is because, in the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. We call it Colonial Script, and we issue only enough to move all goods freely from the producers to the Consumers; and as we create our money, we control the purchasing power of money, and have no interest to pay." Benjamin Franklin
This system guarantees HONEST MONEY. It was not controlled by a private corporation with a monopoly on the credit of the nation as it is today.
There was no inflation or deflation, as long as the MONEY SUPPLY WAS KEPT EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF GOODS AND SERVICES TO BE PRODUCED AND MOVED (distributed).

This is the problem in a nutshell. ABC news is pure propaganda. My wife watches it and I just shake my head. I've given up telling her she's being lied to. At some point people have to think for themselves.
Oh well, she can always ridicule me for voting for McCain and R$.

I think it is something like $18 Million for the 4th and $17 Million spent already for the sexual harassment. YMMV.
BTW, Central division leading Pittsburgh playing rivals Cubs and there are mucho seats empty. Tell me baseball is growing instead of shrinking. No wonder the MLB is scoping out international locations. There are only 4 1/2 games separating the leaders ( Pirates) and last place (Reds). I can't remember
such a close race at the division level.

hospitals
A friend, Joseph A. Ryan, Jr., 74, passed away last week of a rapid acting version of Leukemia. Took less than a month. One of his sons relayed this yesterday at the funeral.
He was in the hospital, doing poorly, watched by one of his sons. One of his grandsons, a 20-something, came in to the room. Joe, who had been sleeping, heard his grandson come in, looked at him, and started pressing his emergency call button urgently and repeatedly.
His son rushed to the bed, “What’s wrong Dad, are you in pain?”
“No. There are a lot of nice nurses in this wing and I thought they’d like to get to know my grandson.”
A thousand people attended his funeral. I counted them.

I've mentioned it before but I had a large 4th of July party around 20 years ago. Kareoke, people swimming in the pool, lots of families with kids of all ages. I had a big flag up, and at one point I asked for everyone's attention and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
All of the adults, half of the older teenagers, and almost none of the younger teenagers put hand to heart and recited the Pledge. I knew right then and there that the younger generation was lost to patriotism.

The left has been better at using the media than our side for at least two hundred years. During the Russian civil war the White army probably could have prevailed if they hadn't stressed going back to the old ways which ordinary people, although hating the Reds, wanted no part of. So they took their chances with the Reds which was a disaster.
Trump is a media creation and and understands it better than they do and makes all of them look like Meathead
