The local guy who took over Rush's time slot on Philly talk radio alerted ole pb to Polymarket, which, in itself in fascinating. It shows betting odds on just about anything. Want the odds on whether or not Kammy'll say the word "inflation" tonight? (13% btw)
Understand, these odds can change in the moment. But, at this moment...
24 hours ago, after day two of the DNC, Trump jumped, by 6 points, to suddenly being the favorite in November. In the last 24 hours, Trump jumped up by 2 more points: 53-46%... DURING THE EFFINDNC. Oy, as po'd say, freakin friggin EFFINvey!!!!!
Here's pb's theory on why. Call it the SOTU phenomenon.
When Joe gave his SOTU speech earlier this year,... shouting woke and progressive clichés in his GET OFF MY LAWN voice for two hours, po and Curt were orgasmic. But, in the weeks after the speech, Joe didn't get the customary bump in approval.
Why? Simple.
When Dems say the things that make wokes and progressives happy, they scare the bejeebers out of moderate and independent common sense voters.
A good rule of thumb? If po and Curt love you, America doesn't.
From my viewing of the DNC... and I picked this up from Monday on, Kammy and krew are still preaching to the choir,... still reaching out to the extremists on the fringe.
If po's happy, ain't no one else happy.
So, based on the betting markets, the DNC has produced a huuuuuuuuuge anti bounce. When it began, Kammy has a slight lead. Today, Trump's lead in so large we're almost beyond the point that pundits would call it a toss-up with Trump leading.
I'm certain that po and Curt are in heaven watching the speeches. The rest of America?, not so much... h€ck, not at all.
Bahahahahahahahahahaha haha baha ha.
