      It’s amazing what a marginal shift in the polls will do to career savvy bureaucrats. These people were clammed up tight a month ago, when Biden was lagging Trump by double digits. But now Harris takes a small lead and whispers “Republican in my administration” and the floodgates absolutely burst.

      I wouldn’t trust any of these mercenaries as far as I could throw them, but I’m absolutely here for the spectacle.

        I hope the floodgates really do burst. If she could win by 10% in the popular vote, and take all the “battle states” and a couple supposed red states to boot it will do to things. Put the nail in the coffin, and all their Extremists will try to say it was all stolen and get themselves all in trouble and hopefully forever out of the way of progress

          That won’t happen. If you look at the spread after the battle grounds, you’re talking about a 5-10 point gap even after her current optimistic post-DNC bump.

          Republicans will enjoy a rump caucus indefinitely, unless Democrats seriously overhaul how they operate in the redder states.

          “Demonrats” is my personal favorite.

          … Not sure if it was originally a typo for “Demoncrats” or no.

    The thing is, these guys are saying “people who supported Bush and MaCain aren’t real Republicans… we hate them!” are still trying to get those hated Republicans to vote for Trump aren’t they?

    Or is this all going to end with only a few thousand MAGAs yelling about how nobody else deserves to live in the USA?

      These guys really are deluded into thinking that they are entitled to their “version” of America, and that everyone else (read: most of the country) needs to get out. It’d be amusing if the looming threat of civil war wasn’t so palpable.

        Well, if they keep this up, it won’t be much of a civil war… and not just because they don’t know how to be civil.

        Civil war re-enactment happening here as always, heard people saying just last night they always cheer for the confederates.

        At least when you watch a sports team you don’t know the end result completely beforehand. Thinly veiled one might say

    200 sounds like a big number, but out of how many? Is this 1%, 10%? Numbers like this without their context are kind of meaningless.

      View it as a barometer in context. 200 GOP staffers have openly endorsed Harris. For apples to apples comparison, how many DNC staffers have openly endorsed Trump? I did some googling and found zero.
