Fantastic interview, Steve. His factors are clearly multi-layered, and insightful. To me the most important things he said were the criteria of what Kamala should have said last night- and she covered it all. Incredibly. God I hope people are voting.

I still question how the pollsters get their data. I live in a battleground state and have received over 100 texts since the summer. I do not respond because I am worried about malware, etc. If I respond to one, I may receive a thousand more. I also looked at one of the polling organizations that sent me a text. The website looked liked it was designed in Moscow. Everything is just too suspicious these days. I have already been victimized from data breaches. Does anyone need more of that because they faithfully responded to a fraud group? So, my point is, I do no question the real pollsters. I just do not know who is asking me questions.

Can’t watch anything related to polling at this stage of the game. Sorry.

I had difficulty extracting any information related to the prediction of the election outcome. Pollsters, writ large, turn me off.

Steve, you and your guest say to be prepared for anything, Ie: a possible Trump win. But what the heck does that mean? How do we prepare? Do you mean be prepared emotionally or be prepared with a safe room or what? What are people doing to prepare who might have the most to lose in a Trump win?

Sobering conversation, peppered with a few nuggets of encouragement.

I only understand enough about polling to know I don't understand much. Admittedly, I've been obsessively following some of the EV modeling, studiously avoiding the ones brimming with copium and hopium. Still, even the most clinical of these models work on past-is-prologue presumptions that may or may not be operational this time. These models also can't accurately assess, what Donald Rumsfeld famously called "known unknowns" such as unaffiliated voters and party defectors.

In short, I can understand why more sensible people than myself are tuning out the polls and early vote tea leaf readers.

John Della Volpe sounded balanced in his take of the election. Especially interesting to hear about younger people. After all, this is their future. What do we want the children to inherit? I see the younger generation coming through for Harris. They know what's going on.

We were riding a wave coming off the MSG event and then he does that. Trump is already playing it for all it's worth. My advice to Jill, take his car keys away before somebody gets hurt.

It is absolutely mind blowing that the President of the USA 🇺🇸, on the eve of a giganticly important election, would commit a potentially catastrophic blunder the outcome of which could be to hand the Presidency to Trump. But that very well could be the result of Bidens “ Hillary” moment.

And if you are praying that the impact of his stupidity will be negligible, consider this. He still has 6 days to put his head up his ass with more election altering comments.

Did you see Trump proposing Liz Cheney with rifles pointed at her face and shooting at her in an execution? He is talking with Tucker Carlson. He is threatening her with death.

Biden is right: Trump and his supporters are TRASH, GARBAGE AND PIECES OF SHIT.

Just to clarify….

I agree. In my opinion not enough people nor the media have called him out ever for any of the stupid outrageous bs he has spewed from his mouth. Biden has the right to comment on the con man’s behavior and this disrespect he shows for our Constitution! Biden does love this country & has been a true patriot.

t-rump has nothing, & is nothing with no value.
