Friendly reminder that Rick Wilson is a professional bullshit artist, doesn't know anything about the mythical Trump oppo bombs (whether or not they exist), and is just hedging so that he can seem smart if they do exist. And that's without getting into the possibility that this whole thing is his cover for complaining about the EVIL LIBERAL MEDIA who refused to properly attack Trump during the primaries so that we could have President Rubio, the way God Scalia intended.

back during the primaries he made a couple of references to something he called "The Thing" which he said he would have shared if he had (see below). this came out right before the national enquirer story about the cruz affairs. many people thought that story was The Thing but wilson is a hardcore conservative and definitely would not have leaked oppo on someone who had a fighting chance to stop trump

very curious to know what The Thing was/is and if the thing he keeps teasing is it, or if the clinton camp has something else, or it's all just rick wilson wishcasting us into the mcmullinverse

e: i'm also extremely curious to know who this is supposed to target if the women stuff was targeting female early voters - what meaningful population segment would be affected by whatever this thing is that disproportionately votes late?

This is 100% NOT that robust and handsome VP Papa Joe (he likes when you call him Papa Joe, I've heard), reminding you that the acceptable applications of the word "literally" have evolved in recent decades to allow for rhetorical, if not strictly "literal" usage.

This is not Joe Biden, though.

The most unrealistic thing is NH going Trump. Definitely only a nightmare scenario, though.

Right up there, though, are NV and NC. Nevada is probably going to see Clark County run up enough of an early voting lead that it will be called upon polls closing and NC is banking a similarly massive early vote lead that it should get called early too. Maybe not on exits and earlies alone, but as soon as those county results start coming in. A lot of people are Pissed With a Capital P at McCrory and the GOP for all their poo poo and are highly motivated to throw them out.
