Just as I thought, the Reuters poll conducted by Ipsos, oversampled Democrats in their survey, and the sample size was less than 1,000.

426 Democrats
376 Republicans

Any Democrat candidate would be selected over a Republican.

Hope this helps.

Looks like the Harris campaign has reportedly decided to settle on Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor, as her VP pick.

Strange that a Palestinian sympathizer would pick a Jewish VP.
Oh well.

[Declan MacPherson]

Update from CBS News

The Harris campaign is considering approximately 12 individuals for her VP pick.

The list includes:
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

Also, the Harris campaign is looking at individuals who do not currently hold elected office.

Tulsi Gabbard calls out the Democrats

Chuck Schumer says Kamala is a grass roots selection. Elected Democrats are pretending.

Possibly it's only strange to those that subscribe to the , "Are you with us, or against us?" creed?

Is this what's called HDS?

Biden gave a hostage-type speech tonight. Biden did not reach this “country over party” decision on his own. He was bullied and threatened into this decision by his own party’s elites.

“Easy way or hard way.”
- Pelosi

The hypocrisy of the Elected Democrat "democracy" narrative is not being lost on their voters.

After not receiving any votes from American voters, the DNC is planning to hold a 'virtual' nomination to ram through Kamala Harris before the August convention and will block delegates from nominating new candidates.

Quiz night question.

Who, at 78, is the oldest presidential nominee in US history?

GDP: US economy grows at faster than expected pace in second quarter as inflation eases

GDP: US economy grows at faster than expected pace in second quarter as inflation eases

Damn, something else to blame on Biden

[Declan MacPherson]

When GDP growth is near zero or negative . . .

Well, you know the rest.

During the last administration, people couldn't even get toilet paper. But nowadays 401k's are through the roof as the stock market is up huge over the last 3 and half years. And, post covid, US GDP growth is top of the heap vs other highly developed economies. Trump was the first president since Herbert Hoover to depart office with fewer jobs in the country than when he entered.

BUT BUT the China Virus!!! Well remember that the convicted felon over and over took credit for the kill shot rat poison vaccines! Yup many of his cult followers warn about the vaccines almost daily. The chaos candidate is WWE style entertaining though! The rednecks just lap it up!

Just don't leave him around your 10 year old daughter because like he says, "I'll be dating her in 10 years, can you believe it!"

The US Stock Market, where investors from all over the world predict stock prices, is not the US economy. It's where gamblers in the markets either make money or lose money.

Trump said he was going to testify in the Trump University fraud case - HE CHICKENED OUT

Said he would testify in the E Jean Carroll RAPE trial - HE CHICKENED OUT

Said he would testify in the NY Business Fraud trial - HE CHICKENED OUT

Said he would testify in the NY PORN STAR case - HE CHICKENED OUT

Said he would debate Harris... AND HE HAS NOW CHICKENED OUT!

[Whistler]

Nothing but scuttlebutt at this stage, so just watch...

Now Kamala is kicking butt, and Trump cannot win, the GOP is going to ask him to step down and let them install J D Vance as the candidate.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

What did Trump do as president? Mostly just watched cable TV news to see what pundits said about him. And a lot of golf as well as trolling, insults and self-praise on Twitter / X

Obviously the guy is lazy (remember when his daily calendar was leaked), extremely ignorant (never read a book in his life) and the very definition of a dilettante. But Trump says he's an expert on a lot of things, including ISIS, taxes, technology, nuclear arms, everything! This reality TV star is "like, really smart" and is super obsessed that you may believe otherwise.

So..... on Campaign finance: "I think nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do, because I'm the biggest contributor." (1999.)

TV ratings: "I know more about people who get ratings than anyone." (October 2012.)

ISIS: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." (November 2015.)

Social media: "I understand social media. I understand the power of Twitter. I understand the power of Facebook maybe better than almost anybody, based on my results, right?" (November 2015.)

Courts: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth." (November 2015.)

Lawsuits: "[W]ho knows more about lawsuits than I do? I'm an individual." (January 2016.)

Politicians: "I understand politicians better than anybody."

The visa system: "[N]obody knows the system better than me. I know the H1B. I know the H2B. ... Nobody else on this dais knows how to change it like I do, believe me." (March 2016.)

Trade: "Nobody knows more about trade than me." (March 2016.)

The U.S. government system: "[N]obody knows the system better than I do." (April 2016.)

Renewable energy: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth." (April 2016.)

Taxes: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world." (May 2016.)

Debt: "I’m an individual of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me." (June 2016.)

Money: "I understand money better than anybody." (June 2016.)

Infrastructure: "Look, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump." (July 2016.)

Sen. Cory Booker: "I know more about Cory than he knows about himself." (July 2016.)

Borders: Trump said in 2016 that Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he was endorsing him for president because "you know more about this stuff than anybody."

Democrats: "I think I know more about the other side than almost anybody." (November 2016.)

Construction: "Nobody knows more about construction than I do." (May 2018.)

The economy: "I think I know about it better than [the Federal Reserve]." (October 2018.)

Technology: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me." (December 2018.)

Drones: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have." (January 2019.)

Drone technology: "Having a drone fly overhead — and I think nobody knows much more about technology, this type of technology certainly, than I do."

A "very stable genius" indeed and they all call him "SIR"

How any grown man can fall for such a total fraud and clownish blowhard boggles the mind! The GOP had their chance to pivot away from this toxic character after J6, but instead has become completely bankrupt. So goes everything Trump touches.
