Salt in the wound over the Survivor News. I never watch the show. I was excited to watch. And then he got voted off the first episode!! 😭

Hijacking to compliment Sam (and please pass on to Mark) on their Mark Robinson write up. Delectable presentation, I literally LOL'ed repeatedly in schadenfreude. My 10 year old asked what was so funny. "A couple of great writers, son, that's what!"

Can someone please explain what JD Vance's wife is thinking day after day? I mean, she is clearly intelligent and accomplished. Please do tell.

I was in the car listening and the giggling made me want to watch the video (which I did as soon as I got back to my desk). Tim has an interesting finger gesture while listening to Melania...

I’m in awe of the recruitment juice that The Bulwark has had, as a start up.

Will, the now departed and much missed Dr Ted, AB, and Sam. Just an amaz array of thinkers and writers.

Sorry, but who is Dr Ted?

Maybe in their haste to put a more human look to Trump and his campaign, the campaign gave the go ahead for Melania to talk about her nude modeling career. I'm sure that will appeal to a very, very, very small sunset of the electorate. :)

Tim - the negative info on Nate Silver also appeared on the pod with Reed Gallen and Simon Rosenberg (Lincoln Project) where essentially it is assumed Nate is in the bag for DJT to reflect positive polls in an effort to litigate the results of the 2024 election. "If the polls are doing so well, how could we have lost?"

One good thing: no endorsement means the Teamsters are unlikely to turn people out. I saw that some locals have endorsed Harris, but nothing about whether some have endorsed Trump. That might matter.

Although my very favorite video of you and Sam is the bear cub video, this was great. I like the combo of information and humor. And the Melania clip was a chef’s kiss.

Hey heads up on polls Tim. Let NC go. They always say in every election cycle that NC can swing. I hv lived here so long, it is a pipe dream. Really just Red state, not massive point spread, but still. I mean look at what we hv for the Geubentorial race. Just revolting imo. The fact it is brought up in national news, says a lot. There are so many college educated transfers (myself included) from other states, one would think. But hey if you hv any good luck pixie dust, send this way.

Re: Trump's comment about the cheering audience at the debate - when you lie about everything, there is no need for memory or for thinking of any kind. Also did Melania compare her nude modeling photos with Michelangelo's David? These Trumps really live on a different planet...

I 100% believe Trump hallucinates cheering audiences everywhere he goes.

Susanne is so great. Love her reporting and her cabin which I hope is real and not a zoom background
