Bridgewater Trumped?

No, the Feds did not finally get us yesterday. But yes, no post yesterday. Meh, we had trouble sleeping and woke up feeling sloshed and never felt quite caught up with the day.  But we awoke bright eyed this morning so here we go. 

We see Barry Soetoro is campaigning for Kamala. Bizarrely Barry seems to be the most important campaigner out there for the Dems, right now, more important than Kamala. Sorry, folks. Barry doesn't have coattails, never did, not even in 2008. Hillary would have won 2008 by similar margins, so would Biden even.  Ironically, we think Biden would have won 2016. 

Remember our old election formula, circumstances, ideas, candidates. Kamala and the Dems don't have any of them. She's an awful candidate running without ideas under bad circumstances.  Absentee ballots, early voting etc etc, seem to favor Trump. 

Trump's ahead in the polls, there's no getting around it. We ask this question once again. Have pollsters figured out how to poll Trump voters? If yes then the race is still kinda close, like a ballgame where your team is leading by a couple of runs going into the 9th. If no, then Trump is winning handily. 

Okay, so we're optimistic, we admit it. We were optimistic going into election day 2020 and election day 2012. How did those work out? [What are you saying?-Ed] We're saying we approach election 'Day' with great fear and trepidation. 

So what's the election vibe in Bridgwater. NJ? Bridgewater is a Republican town in the pink NJ-07 congressional district.* One see's a lot of Harris/Walz signs here in Chindia. But there's a guy down the street who's once again turned his yard into a Trump shrine. When one drives out of Chindia and crosses Route 202, one enters Trump country. There's plenty of Trump signs over that-a-way.  But down the street from us:

This loon is still around too. 

*We see plenty of Tom Kean Jr signs, he's the incumbent, and internet ads touting Kean and saying opponent Sue Altman is a radical. The race is rated as 'close'. The Hill/DDHQ says Kean has a 71 percent chance of winning this morning. This sounds right to us.
