This makes sense. Unless there is some catastrophic event that favors the republicans Trump is going down. The fact that the bookies reflect this is further proof of how the media is desperately trying to keep the horse race going when they know there is no contest anymore.
I appreciate Thom’s straightforward reporting and investigations.
Bookies can possibly gauge the intention of voters, but what they cannot take into account is the suppression of those intentions in swing states. See Thom's program on Vigilantes, Inc. to curb your enthusiasm.
Easy does it! Ain’t there yet! Kamala and crew need to be careful about being too careful. Springfield presents an opportunity for definitive speech on immigration , a la Obama’s on race in 2008. We need to OWN this issue. Offense!
Here is what worries me. As Stalin said. It is not the vote that counts, but who counts the votes and we know that the Republicans have put in place people, and laws that suppress the vote, and that MAGAts have run out of office, election officials that are diligent and honest , with threats of violence, and that MAGAts have taken their place.
2024 is threatening to be a repeat of 2020, this time on steroids.
That is what worries me.
That and the Muslims and young black males who have threatened to not vote or, even the males who identify with Vance and Trump, who threaten to vote for Trump.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings. We have to stay vigilant and motivated even after November 5th, even after Jan 20th if Harris/Walz are sworn in.
After Trump loses the election, all of the Republican collaborators need to be rounded up and held accountable for the havoc and wreckage they enabled…just like Nazi collaborators after WW2.
Much as I’d love it, don’t bet on it happening. Consiglieri Mark Meadows needs to go down with Trump, and if the DoJ can find their way to charge Leonard Leo with something, that would satisfy me.
Yesterday, on hearing this, I checked Ladbrokes betting emporium in London and the Las Vegas betting odds. Both show a blowout coming for Kamala. As you say, there's money on the line.
You mean he's going to turn back into a pumpkin? Think maybe it's already happening. Last night Kimmel showed all the empty seats at the end of a recent rally. Kamala nailed him with that.
Lest anyone forget, please remember Thom lived in DC quite a long time. He knows people and things the rest of us never will. Even though all this would be a dream come true, pretty sure his close-up of Washington politics involves some nightmares too.
If the aftermath is what Thom has predicted, no doubt the billionaires will finance the re-grouping efforts. Let's see who can suck-up to them the best and promise them their tax relief goodies. They all know there is no time for a food fight, because we are coming for their MONEY.
We need single-payer universal healthcare! This is the only way we can reverse the war, which is to take back the resources that should be spent on the nation's health. Private equity is currently draining the assets in the healthcare system, and private contractors are being hired by Medicare and insurance companies to deny care, redirecting the money we pay for healthcare through insurance and Medicare into the pockets of greedy businessmen. This is an injustice, as this money should be spent on the life-saving healthcare that is being denied.
I thought I was signing up for the donut hole supplement insurance for Medicare but ended up on Medicare Advantage instead. Now for the first time they are charging me $250 per specialist ordered tests and I get $860 month Social Security. I'm making payments and cancelled the second follow up test. I can't afford $500 in one month.
Moon Cat, if you do want out (of Advantage) or to fight back, in some cities and counties they have a Senior and Disabled Services. Their advice or lawyer services might assist. Google: Senior insurance fraud+the name of your state. The Dept of Health and Human Services, an insurance fraud hotline, and others popped-up. All had toll free numbers to call.
You are certainly not alone in getting misdirected to an Advantage program, and people are trying to stop that crap from happening.
Are you kidding? Have you ever tried to get a lawyer without money, let alone against an insurance company? You're a good guy Daniel, but you have primarily seen our justice system from the bench. The system rarely works the way it is supposed to for anybody who isn't rich.
In answer to the opinion that President Obama shot down the "option", here is the fact on that: His only path to get something done on health care depended on the Senate and the filibuster. The culprit was Senator Lieberman. This is from his WIKI page, and I distinctly remember hating him a little: "During debate on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as the crucial 60th vote needed to pass the legislation, his opposition to the public health insurance option was critical to its removal from the resulting bill signed by President Barack Obama."
A way we might get there state by state until the Red States cave. It's from a Google search:
"Colorado and Washington State have begun enrolling individuals, whereas Nevada and Minnesota plan to launch their own public option plans in 2026 and 2027, respectively. In both Colorado and Washington, private insurers offer and operate public option plans.-Mar 28, 2024"
Yes Ms. Maloney, and you might add that the Affordable Care act is nothing more than a gift to the insurance industry. It was an effective way Obama to betray the public on his campaign promise of a "public option" while winning the approval of the huge, lucrative, wealthy, influential insurance industry.
A filibuster proof Senate is nowhere in sight ever again. Whichever party wins the House, Senate and the Presidency will kill the filibuster on a simple majority vote and legislate their agenda. I sure hope it’s us!
It's our only path to decent health care. We almost got there and then Lieberman shot down the 60th vote on the public option.
Folks just don't understand that Senators crowned themselves little kings. The filibuster is the gift that keeps on giving to them.....and screwing us.
Respectfully, I have a difficult time believing in the betting markets. What data are they are basing their bets on? That seems a mystery. I also heard Larry Sabato say on "11th Hour" that the margins of error are actually double what's reported so the polls are very, very rough numbers. I say all this to reinforce: the only poll that counts is the one on election day.
Everyone: Register to vote. Vote in November.
Despite my skepticism I hope you're right, Thom. After four years of Trump, I never want to go through that again. I also never want to go through another ugly and dangerous Trump campaign.
Sounds perfect! I'll do my best to keep this in the forefront even when I'm going crazy over the latest vile thing coming out of the Republican party. It's a shame that more of the Magats won't go to prison since they are so instrumental in what we are going through right now.
While Vegas may find the winning numbers for Kamala I still worry about the violence that will occur. So many of the Maga followers/cultists are just itching to use their guns or to start fights or plow their cars into people marching in the streets.
It's definitely heartening to read these "odds" but I can't get the vision of Proud Boys, KKK, Blood Tribe Nazis marching & threatening everyday citizens. It really is hard to stand up to a bully with an AR-15. They are cowards to be sure, just like all the mass shooters but still they are heavily armed cowards within a substantial group of heavily armed cowards. (My writing this makes me think that is why so many Jews ran to the pits where they were going to be massacred. Did their brains just fail to conceive that other humans could be so vicious?)
Here's hoping trump gets trounced in the polls & his minions wake up rather than crawl back under the rocks from which they emerged when trump raised his truly ugly vestage on the stage.
Return to normalcy, yes, "their brains just fail(ed) to see that other human beings could be so vicious?" Hitler put 6 million of his people into the death camps, Stalin directly or indirectly killed 9 million of his people, Sukarno imprisoned 20 million of his people about 3 million died, Mao directly or indirectly killed 80 million of his people, 4 million people were slaves when Lincoln's proclamation freed them, King Leopold killed 9 million in the Congo, nobody knows how many million "Amer-Indians" were slaughtered by Whites. Who could imagine it? You can't make up this stuff. Who would believe it?
And this does not include modern war; how many killed by American and British bombing of civilians in Germany...2 million? How many killed by General Curtis LeMay's carpet bombing of civilians in Japanese cities? How about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The German army killed 19 million civilian Russians in WWll.
I can imagine all of those dictators claimed to oppose abortion, while claiming to be pro-life, so they could increase their flock, while killing the other flocks off. Like good alpha chimpanzees!
I hope Thom’s prediction is correct. However, it is important to keep in mind that the forces that have metastasized into the Trump/MAGA movement did not suddenly emerge out of thin air. Like the Shingles virus, they lie dormant in the body politic until the political immune system becomes weakened only to become virulent and visibly active once again.
We know that keeping the immune system strong and healthy takes a conscious effort. So too with the body politic. When we take our health for granted and fail to make the choices necessary to sustain it we make ourselves vulnerable to disease.
Democracy requires a steady diet of civic engagement and civility of behavior “with charity for all and malice towards none.”
Of course just reading this makes me happy . However I hope people don’t get the impression that Kamala is going to win by such margins that it doesn’t really matter if they vote or not. Every vote for MVP Kamala Harris counts . So settle down and no matter what , vote Blue.
Nah, forget the secret service too many of them are in the amoral chump’s pocket! Think of Anthony Ornato was Secret Service then on WH payroll where he sucked up to chump and violated his oath of service!
I sure hope this plays out to the betterment of the GOP and the health of our two party system. However, as someone who lived in Jersey, went to Rutgers like Gandolfini, and still practices medicine in Jersey - Tony Soprano had many redeeming qualities along with antisocial personality traits… so which characters would I consider the most vile and analogous? Ralph Cifaretto, Richie Aprile, Phil Leotardo. The worst.
The list of bad casting in the GOP is much longer.
It will be hard to rise from the ashes on this one.
Decent people like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, and Adam Kinzinger have been thoroughly abused and banished from the tribe.
And yet a GOP hoping to rebuild itself if they do indeed lose this election, and we make it through the shenanigans and obstructions, would be wise to build a coalition around these 10 Republicans with integrity who voted yes on the first impeachment:
I don’t see this reformation of the GOP happening. It’s more likely that the principled never-Trumpers and Lincoln Project folks will re-enter politics as Independents, some maybe caucusing with the Democrats, like Angus King and Bernie Sanders. The racist theocratic coalition will remain as it has been since the Tea Party began, but will continue to lose national elections for the foreseeable future.
Now that is what I would call a rosy future. Though it left out the part where all the armed to the teeth MAGAts do not go quietly into the night, crawling back under their rocks in a cave under a bridge down by the river.
And still, it is just based on placing bets. It is gambling, based on what a bunch of people with money to risk think will happen. It is not a crystal ball. The DeLorean did not pull into their driveways to whisk them back to the future. There is no TARDIS in their living room.
So give ourselves 10-15 minutes to imagine how it would feel if Harris/Walz won with 400 EC votes and the majority of the RFP (Republican Fascist Party) abandon trump like rats leaving a sinking ship. Go ahead. Close your eyes. Feel the albatross departing.
And now, get back to work. I personally have 500 postcards to write and send out this weekend. I personally pray every day for a Harris/Walz victory AND a peaceful transfer of power. I personally visualize the victory whenever the dark thoughts start to take hold.
This is how I've been seeing the situation for many months. But there is always the possibility of some unimagined "October surprise" and those billions of dollars in ads and outreach from the dark money pacs and elsewhere that Thom has been warning about are just starting to show up. The other good news that wasn't mentioned is that Judge Chutkin is going to be pressing on with hearings bringing more witnesses and criminality to light and there will hopefully be other activity and information relative to the other cases which has the potential to move public perceptions and opinion. Also, the Heritage crackpots are not going away and there is no effective plan or organization in place to stop the privatization of public schooling because educators and others have been denying reality and refusing to do what needs to be done to make schools hospitable and democratic. This will set the next generation up for more reactionary politics and mayhem.
This is a nice prediction and warms my heart. I look forward to the outcome. The sooner everyone forgets about Trump the better. I hope the first 100 days of a Harris administration sees universal education, childcare, healthcare, food & shelter, abortion, right to vote, and a business tax of 50% or more to end mudsill to get the economy to automatically generate unearned millionaires & billionaires through increasing the class of people living below the middle class income of over 50% of the American people.
I worry that we are all together too giddy publicly. Reading comments on Twitter about Robinson for example. It’s all gross but 2 things: will voters care? -,they didn’t about Trump. And I have fear that T wins, is 25th, and we get JD. They ultimately get rid of him and it’s Mike No Bank Account Johnson. Finally, Dems are at risk for exposure. Can’t imagine they are all saints. Thx for your writing.

Paul, very true. That’s why there are a lot of volunteers in those states and more money being spent there.
Have that Dec2020 feeling?
Oh wow! This is the most encouraging thing I’ve read in weeks! Let it be so !
Easy does it! Ain’t there yet! Kamala and crew need to be careful about being too careful. Springfield presents an opportunity for definitive speech on immigration , a la Obama’s on race in 2008. We need to OWN this issue. Offense!

This is what worries me too. Exactly.
After Trump loses the election, all of the Republican collaborators need to be rounded up and held accountable for the havoc and wreckage they enabled…just like Nazi collaborators after WW2.
He has enough court cases to last till the end of his wretched existence.
Much as I’d love it, don’t bet on it happening. Consiglieri Mark Meadows needs to go down with Trump, and if the DoJ can find their way to charge Leonard Leo with something, that would satisfy me.

WE HAVE TO FIX SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE!
We need single-payer universal healthcare! This is the only way we can reverse the war, which is to take back the resources that should be spent on the nation's health. Private equity is currently draining the assets in the healthcare system, and private contractors are being hired by Medicare and insurance companies to deny care, redirecting the money we pay for healthcare through insurance and Medicare into the pockets of greedy businessmen.

Get a lawyer.
Are you kidding? Have you ever tried to get a lawyer without money, let alone against an insurance company? You're a good guy Daniel, but you have primarily seen our justice system from the bench. The system rarely works the way it is supposed to for anybody who isn't rich.
Not true at all. You can google thousands of lawyers who take Medicare fraud cases. Qui tam. Usually contingency fees.
Google forever but it doesn't mean they will take the case. Even on contingency, they want filing fees and expenses up front.
In answer to the opinion that President Obama shot down the "option", here is the fact on that: His only path to get something done on health care depended on the Senate and the filibuster.

A perfect paragraph on the problem, Gloria!
“ Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, after exhausting all the other possibilities “
Little will be accomplished on our goals with a GOP controlled House and a non filibuster proof Senate. Nevertheless, let the rats abandon the
Trump ship .
A filibuster proof Senate is nowhere in sight ever again. Whichever party wins the House, Senate and the Presidency will kill the filibuster on a simple majority vote and legislate their agenda. I sure hope it’s us!
Hoping with you, Lewis.
It's our only path to decent health care. We almost got there and then Lieberman shot down the 60th vote on the public option.

Historically they have as valid a batting average as any group. The polls were wrong in 2020 and 2022.
Paul, is it really youse? How goes it up by da Soo, eh? Is Frank's still open for business?
Sounds perfect! I'll do my best to keep this in the forefront even when I'm going crazy over the latest vile thing coming out of the Republican party. It's a shame that more of the Magats won't go to prison since they are so instrumental in what we are going through right now.

Don't forget how surprised we were when Hillary lost.
I'll never forget. I was depressed for more than a year after she lost.
House arrest, Mar-A-Lago, Secret Service monitored (plus ankle monitor), no Internet, no public speaking, no media interviews.
And no golf…
Nah, forget the secret service too many of them are in the amoral chump’s pocket! Think of Anthony Ornato was Secret Service then on WH payroll where he sucked up to chump and violated his oath of service!
Louis, if we had a real attorney general, we could arrest them also, as accomplices
I'd prefer he be shipped off to Guantanamo! Would be poetic justice!

I think you have covered all the bases and then some. No need to add any more. Thank goodness we can finally sleep little better. Good night.
I hope this is close to what will happen, and not just a fever dream of all of us who have had it up to HERE with Donald J. Trump!
I want to believe that Thom Hartmann has just drawn a totally accurate picture of what is to come …
Do you suppose that Trump is having another Maralago built in Venezuela and betting campaign contributions in Vegas that Harris is going to win?
I think he's going to dump his wife and take his latest catch with him?
Hahahahahahah!
This is a nice prediction and warms my heart. I look forward to the outcome. The sooner everyone forgets about Trump the better. I hope the first 100 days of a Harris administration sees universal education, childcare, healthcare, food & shelter, abortion, right to vote, and a business tax of 50% or more to end mudsill to get the economy to automatically generate unearned millionaires & billionaires through increasing the class of people living below the middle class income of over 50% of the American people.
