RNC to be completely overshadowed by devastating Hurricane Laura

God bless all those affected.



Updated at 2 a.m. ET Wednesday

Hurricane Laura is "rapidly intensifying" and will make landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday as a major hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Laura is currently a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Forecasters predict a storm surge from 9 to 14 feet when it strikes near the Louisiana-Texas border.

The storm surge estimates are "staggering amounts, life-threatening amounts," NHC Director Ken Graham said.

Could Rasmussen (51% approval) be more obvious that it is trying to help Trump?

As the GOP convention starts, Rasmussen has Trump at 51% approval. 10 points higher than Trump's average approval with other polling organizations. What an amazing coincidence!

Coronavirus fatigue - voters getting used to a new normal - polls tightening.

Just an observation, looking at 538, that polls have tightened a little in the last week. Trump's approval has improved, not looking like he will dip below 40%, he's a little tighter with Biden, state polls a little tighter, slim leads have gone in Georgia and Texas.

It seems over one thousand dying a day of Covid isn't shocking enough. We all know that Trump is responsible for most of the deaths. We know examples that show he is mentally incapable of uniting America or helping to solve our problems. We know the damage he has caused to America and our relationship with our allies. But what do you think the Biden campaign need to do to get the message across?
