Sad that everything you wrote seems to be slanted towards Harris πŸ˜” Sadly it appears unbiased.

I’m very biased. I don’t make apologies for fighting fascists.

It doesn't sound like the Mike Madrid I knew for the past 23 years 😞

I haven’t changed. The Republican Party changed. As my dear friend Stu Spencer who was Ronald Reagan’s closest political advisor told me a few weeks ago β€œReagan would work his ass off to defeat what the party has become under Trump. It’s everything he stood against”

It is literally everything Reagan stood against. I’ll stand with Reagan.

So helpful to have these watch points handy while glued to results on Tuesday night! …and after

Thanks so much, Mike!

Who else is fighting off crazy election anxiety? I just want to know the results. I want to know if all the work we did was enough to get Harris across the finish line. This has been one of the most well run campaigns I’ve ever seen. I’m proud to have done my part to help get us to victory. I just want to know whether or not we did it.

Driving through rural central VA today (Louisa County) at least half of the signs I saw were Harris/Walz. That's astounding.

Thanks for your timing guide Mike! Thank you also, for such hard, honest, and sober work for America. You are a hero.

Anecdotally, I know a few people who have volunteered this cycle for the first time. One even travelled across state lines!

Also, because why not. What are the chances Texas surprises us tomorrow?

Hey Peter- I think Trump will definitely take TX, but Allred might squeak past Cruz. Either way, I think Allred numbers will show that we have split ticket voters here. I’m keeping an eye on Tarrant county. If it goes blue, it’s a great sign that the community is fighting back entrenched Christian nationalists.

Agree with Linda here!

The chances of Allred winning are slim, but definitely look at Tarrant, Hidalgo, and Denton - Dentin being the bellwether

Thanks, Lucas. Adding them to the list. Glad I’m on the right track! I’ll be listening to you and Mike todayπŸ˜‰

My Headspace meditation app is on tilt. Maybe I should just hit the sauce.

This is awesome! Thank you, Mike πŸ™

This was helpful. Made me scared when you mentioned the OC. I have family there, and I don’t feel like it has shifted left at all!

Linda Aldrich's avatar

Thanks Lucas and Mike- I’ll be following you both tomorrow, even if I have to venture into twitter.

It seems traditional polling has to have changed significantly in the past 5 to 10 years. Are you expecting any big surprises in voters who have not been polled? Or who maybe haven't been honest with pollsters?

I knew I would like you when I saw that you were at war with a squirrel. That photo. omg. Thank you for always being brutally honest, factually correct... and funny as in dry humor, which goes best with my dry gin. Very glad to know you will be posting tomorrow night :)
