re: Talarico now up to 62% odds in Polymarket

Kalshi Markets just changed their projection this morning from Toss-Up to now Lean Talarico.

Two things about this race have showed up saliently in recent weeks:

• All these attempts at depicting Talarico as a "freak" or abnormal person have backfired, resulting in more adamant support from Democrats, independents, and even some republicans;

• The much-ballyhooed "Trump Bounce" forecast from the GOP Convention last month in DFW has become instead the "Trump Repellent." The president is in bad odor nationwide, and his favorability rating in Texas is now waaay underwater, thanks to the war.

No the bullet points he gave are actually right on target

Oh, may I ask exactly WHO certified them as “right on target?” Sometimes that makes a difference, believe it or not.

Hopefully the GOP focuses their message more on he being a candidate that is affiliated with a group that wants to abolish the electoral college, the Senate, and replace the Presidents and Supreme Court justices with appointments from Congress. He and other like him should be voted AGAINST in any and every way possible.

Well I was the one that posted it, and it was my opinion.
So I imagine a person with average intelligence can figure out that I was saying his points were right on target.

Of course you don't think I know what I'm talking about so I realize my confirming his opinion won't impress you,



and I can live with that.


Again this is the conversation about the betting markets and the possibilities and likelihood of these things happening

it's not what I want to happen


For some reason you still failed to grasp that simple fact

Looks like this will be yet another self-own by Trump and the dumbass GOP base. It is truly a remarkable feat to lose to a dipshit who said publicly there are six biological sexes and prohibited meat consumption on his campaign due to climate change. The fact that this is even a competitive race is hilarious.

If accurate polling, which I highly doubt, it says more about the true fricking brainless idiots voting FOR Talarico.

What actually burns my biscuits more than anything else is something you demonstrated right out of the gate. You mention me giving predictions, yet immediately thereafter berate any predictions from me as being wrong because my head is in the sand. First of all, is it literally possible to say a prediction is pitifully wrong before the event subject of predictions even happens?

Which also somewhat leads us to the topic of opinions and opinion sharing. Does everyone actually understand what an opinion is? I’d say that it’s perfectly fine to have differing meanings and definitions of the concept of opinion and opinion sharing, and still have a successful debate, as long as everyone can manage to wrap their minds around the one key aspect that MUST be in every single person’s own definition for it to work properly……


…….and that common component is the acknowledgment that when it comes to opinion: it’s not possible for one person to berate another on the basis of being wrong. THERE ARE NO WRONG OPINIONS! That’s the whole point!!

So who is the bigger POS?

The answer is “Yes”. One should expect all politicians to be dirt bags. That’s why they should have very little power.

If you don’t acknowledge that opinions, including your own, can be neither right nor wrong, certainly not “officially.” Anyone among us who cannot or will not acknowledge that up front, at least in my case that person would lack minimal qualifications to engage.

For months and months I been saying that my prediction that low T would win was only that a prediction
But that has not stopped you or any others accusing me of wanting it to happen or accusing it of being a desire not just an opinion

based upon my knowledge so yes it's an opinion but it's an educated opinion
Like whether a wart needs to come off if you were to ask just people on the street they would have opinions but before you go get the surgery you probably should go see a doctor

But here's a question for you and it's not asking for an opinion it's asking for an explanation why did you throw the term" officially" in quotes into your statement to me

where have I said anything,or has anyone else said their or my opinion or thoughts are somehow "official"
